Revelation 13:9 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 13:9

If any man have an ear, let him hear.
] And diligently attend to this mystical description of antichrist, as being matter of some difficulty to understand, as well as of great moment and importance, and seriously consider it, that he may know him, and his followers, and avoid them; (See Gill on Revelation 1:7).

Revelation 13:9 In-Context

7 And he was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them. He was also given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation.

8 All those who live on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name was not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered.

9 If anyone has an ear, he should listen:

10 If anyone is destined for captivity, into captivity he goes. If anyone is to be killed with a sword, with a sword he will be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; he had two horns like a lamb, but he sounded like a dragon.
