This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rev 13:12. Ποιεῖ-ἐποίει) There is a mixture of tenses, as Rev 13:15, and ch. Rev 11:9-10, with Annot. in the Apparatus, p. 818 [Ed. ii. p. 541].- τὴν γῆν καὶ τοὺς ἐν αὐτῇ κατοικοῦντας, the earth and them which dwell therein) A remarkable expression; for in Rev 13:14, and in other places, it is said, τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, those that dwell on the earth. I see no difference of meaning, except that here in Rev 13:12, a sudden universality of worship is implied, perhaps to be promulgated by some edict.
