Robertson Word Pictures - Revelation 9:19 - 9:19


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

The power (hē exousia). As in Rev 2:26; Rev 6:8. This power of the horses is both in their mouths (because of the fire, smoke, brimstone) and in their tails, “for their tails are like unto serpents” (hai gar ourai autōn homoiai ophesin). Associative-instrumental case ophesin after homoiai. Ophis is old word for snake (Mat 7:10).

Having heads (echousai kephalas). Feminine present active participle of echō, agreeing with ourai (tails).

With them (en autais). Instrumental use of en. Surely dreadful monsters.
