Revelation 17:13

Revelation 17:13

11 The ^abeast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to¹ perdition.

12 ^a“The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast.

13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.

14 ^aThese will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will ^bovercome them, ^cfor He is Lord of lords and King of kings; ^dand those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

15 Then he said to me, ^a“The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, ^bare peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.

16 And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, ^athese will hate the harlot, make her ^bdesolate ^cand naked, eat her flesh and ^dburn her with fire.

Have one mind (mian gnwmhn exousin). "One purpose" (gnwmh from ginwskw) as in Acts 20:3; I Corinthians 1:10. The new powers are allies of the beast.

They give their power and authority unto the beast (thn dunamin kai thn ecousian autwn tw qhriw didoasin). Present active indicative of didwmi. Just as the dragon gave both power and authority to the beast (Revelation 13:2), so they are wholly at the service of the beast.
