Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Revelation 13:14

_ _ deceiveth them that dwell on the earth — the earthly-minded, but not the elect. Even a miracle is not enough to warrant belief in a professed revelation unless that revelation be in harmony with God’s already revealed will.

_ _ by the means of those miracles — rather as Greek,on account of (because of; in consequence of) those miracles.”

_ _ which he had power to doGreek, “which were given him to do.”

_ _ in the sight of the beast — “before him” (Revelation 13:12).

_ _ which — A, B, and C read, “who”; marking, perhaps, a personal Antichrist.

_ _ had — So B and Andreas read. But A, C, and Vulgate read, “hath.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Revelation 13:14

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an (20) image to the (21) beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

(20) That is, images, by "enallage" or change of the number: for the worship of them ever since the second Council of Nicea, has been ordained in the Church by public credit and authority, contrary to the Law of God.

(21) In the Greek the word is in the Dative case, as much to say, as to the worship, honour and obeying of the beast: for by this maintenance of images, this pseudo-prophetical beast mightily profits the beast of Rome, of whom long ago he received them. Wherefore the same is hereafter fittingly called the image of the beast, for images have their beginning from the beast, and have their form or manner from the will of the beast, and have their end and use fixed in the profit and commodity of the beast.
