(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
opened ... mouth - The usual formula in the case of a set speech, or series of speeches. Rev 13:6, Rev 13:7 expand Rev 13:5.
blasphemy - So B and Andreas. A and C read “blasphemies.”
and them - So Vulgate, Coptic, Andreas, and Primasius read. A and C omit “and”: “them that dwell (literally, ‘tabernacle’) in heaven,” mean not only angels and the departed souls of the righteous, but believers on earth who have their citizenship in heaven, and whose true life is hidden from the Antichristian persecutor in the secret of God’s tabernacle. See on Rev 12:12; see on Joh 3:7.
