Apocalipse 17:12-14 NVIPT

Robert Jamieson; A. R. Fausset; David Brown

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 17:13

13. one mind—one sentiment. shall give—So Coptic. But A, B, and Syriac, "give." strength—Greek, "authority." They become his dependent allies ( :-). Thus Antichrist sets up to be King of kings, but scarcely has he put forth his claim when the true KING OF KINGS appears and dashes him down in a moment to destruction. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 17:14

14. These shall . . . war with the Lamb—in league with the beast. This is a summary anticipation of Revelation 19:19. This shall not be till after they have first executed judgment on the harlot (Revelation 17:15; Revelation 17:16). Lord of lords, &c.—anticipating Revelation 19:16. are —not in the Greek. Therefore translate, "And they that are with Him, called chosen, and faithful (shall overcome them, namely, the beast and his allied kings)." These have been with Christ in heaven unseen,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 17:12

The specific identity of the 10 horns (other kings but without kingdoms when John wrote) is not yet clear. Mounce took them as symbolic of complete power without reference to kings or kingdoms. [Note: Mounce, p. 317. Cf. Beale, p. 878.] They will be allies of the beast and serve under him in his worldwide government during the Great Tribulation (Daniel 7:23-24). Each of them will rule a kingdom simultaneously with one another and with the beast (cf. Daniel 7:7-8; Daniel 7:24). [Note: Bullinger,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 17:13

The single purpose of these end-time kingdoms is to rule the world (Revelation 17:14). The 10 rulers will submit to the Antichrist’s leadership to achieve this end. Evidently he will have to put down three of them who revolt against him (Daniel 7:24; cf. Revelation 12:3; Revelation 13:1; Revelation 17:3). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 17:14

At the very end of the Tribulation these kings will fight against Jesus Christ as He returns to earth (cf. Revelation 16:14; Revelation 16:16; Revelation 19:19-21). The Lamb will defeat them and will prove to be Lord of lords and King of kings (Revelation 19:16), the title Antichrist seeks to claim in his worldwide empire.Those with Christ accompany Him from heaven (cf. Revelation 19:14). They are the called, the elect, and the faithful. These are probably three terms for the same group,... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 17:1-18

Babylon the great HarlotThe judgment on Rome, which had been announced before, is now shown in detail. The identification of ’Babylon’ with Rome, here and elsewhere in Rev., is supported (HDB.) by the following considerations:—The name Babylon in Revelation 17:5; ’is described as mystery, i.e. a name to be allegorically interpreted... B. is described (1) as “the harlot” the supreme antithesis of “the bride,” “the holy city,” “the new Jerus.” (2) as the centre and ruler of the nations,... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Revelation 17:12

(12) And the ten horns . . .—The explanation of the ten horns. They are the kings, not necessarily, as we have seen, personal kings, but rather kingdoms or nationalities, who received not a kingdom as yet; as they are on the seventh head, the hour of their power is not yet, but comes at the fall of the sixth head: then they receive power one hour. (Comp. “short time” in Revelation 17:10.) But though these are sundered powers, they are one in their subjection to the wild beast. They have one... read more

Revelation 17:6 Mercy and love are sins in Rome and hell. Beaumont and Fletcher, 'Bonduca,' Act iv. Scene 4. The Lamb's War with the Beast Revelation 17:14 It is strange that the most mysterious book of the Bible should be especially singled out as the Revelation. Yet though no book is less patient of a detailed and pedantic exposition, none is more full of the triumph and the tears of God's Word, none is richer in lessons to guide us in the stern and fluctuating conflict of our Lord with... read more
