Robertson Word Pictures - Revelation 17:17 - 17:17


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Did put (edōken). “Did give” (first aorist active of didōmi.

To do his mind (poiēsai tēn gnōmēn autou). Epexegetic first aorist active infinitive of poieō after edōken, as often in this book. They are of one mind (Rev 17:13) because God put them up to it, clear statement of God’s over-ruling hand among the nations.

Until the words of God should be accomplished (achri telesthēsontai hoi logoi tou theou). Temporal clause about the future with achri (like heōs), with the future indicative of teleō, but with aorist passive subjunctive telesthōsin in Rev 15:8. For teleō see also Rev 10:7. For “the words of God” see Rev 19:9. They will be fulfilled.
