Exegesis
In the second clause, emnēmoneusen {ἐμνημόνευσεν | em-nē-mó-neu-sen} is an aorist active indicative with ho theos {ὁ θεὸς | ho the-ós} as explicit subject, presenting a decisive act of divine remembrance. In apocalyptic idiom, “remembering” is judicial, implying that the time for reckoning has arrived.
