Apocalipsis 17:13

13 Estos tienen un consejo, y darán su potencia y autoridad a la bestia

Apocalipsis 17:13 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 17:13

These have one mind
The princes of these kingdoms, and their subjects, become, in time, of one religion; first they were Arians, and then Papists; and for a long series of time there was great unity between them, with respect to religious sentiments, being zealously attached to the church of Rome, its principles and practices:

and shall give their power and strength unto the beast;
the Papal antichrist, the eighth king, and seventh head; to him they have given power to exercise all ecclesiastical authority in their kingdoms; as to ordain bishops, and deliver the pall to whom they will; to excommunicate offenders, and even lay their kingdoms under an interdict when they pleased; and have assisted and defended the popes of Rome with all their force, with all their might and main, and to the utmost of their power, and have engaged in what have been called the holy wars, at their motion; they have given their riches and wealth, which are called the forces of strength, ( Job 36:19 ) which they have, by various methods, drained them of; hence the whore of Rome came to be decked with gold, and pearls, and precious stones; yea, they have given them their kingdoms, and have received them from them, and become tributary to them.

Apocalipsis 17:13 In-Context

11 Y la bestia que era, y no es, es también el octavo rey, y es de los siete, y va a perdición

12 Y los diez cuernos que has visto, son diez reyes, que aun no han tomado reino; mas tomarán potencia por una hora como reyes con la bestia

13 Estos tienen un consejo, y darán su potencia y autoridad a la bestia

14 Ellos pelearán contra el Cordero, y el Cordero los vencerá, porque es el Señor de señores, y el Rey de reyes; y los que están con él son llamados, y elegidos, y fieles

15 Y él me dice: Las aguas que has visto donde la ramera se sienta, son pueblos y muchedumbres y naciones y lenguas
