Euphrates From Revelation 17
Revelation 17:1
And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
Sitteth upon many waters. Said of Babylon, Jer 51:13; the wealth of Babylon being caused both by the Euphrates and by a vast system of canals. The symbol is interpreted by some commentators as signifying Babylon, by others: pagan Rome, Papal Rome, Jerusalem. Dante alludes to this passage in his address to the shade of Pope Nicholas III, in the Bolgia of the Simonists:
"The Evangelist you pastors had in mind,
When she who sitteth upon many waters
To fornicate with kings by him was seen.
The same who with the seven heads was born,
And power and …show more content…
Are fallen epesan. Literally, "fell." Constantly used in the Septuagint of the violent fall or overthrow of kings or kingdoms. See Ezek 29:5; 30:6; Isa 21:9; Jer 50:15; 51:8. Revelation 17:11
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
No commentary on this verse. Revelation 17:12
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
Kings which hoitines. The compound relative classifying: "of the kind which." Revelation 17:13
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
Mind gnoomeen. Meaning primarily "the faculty of knowing, mind, reason;" then "that which is thought or known; opinion, purpose." See Acts 20:3; 1 Cor 7:25; Philem 14.
Shall give diadidoosousin. Read didoasin, the present tense, "give." The force of dia is "over; give over."
Power and authority dunamin kai exousian. For the distinction, see the note at 2 Peter 2:11. Revelation
