Apocalipsis 13:10

10 Todo el que esté destinado a la cárcel,
a la cárcel será llevado.
Todo el que esté destinado a morir a espada,
morirá a filo de espada.
Esto significa que el pueblo de Dios tiene que soportar la persecución con paciencia y permanecer fiel.

Apocalipsis 13:10 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 13:10

He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity,
&c.] As the devil, by whom men are led captive at his will, and the Romish antichrist, who leads multitudes of souls to hell; these shall be taken and cast into the lake which burns with fire and brimstone. The Jews ^F7 have a saying, that

``captivity comes into the world for idolatry, uncleanness, and murder;''

which three things are notorious in the Romish antichrist: and in the same treatise they say ^F8, that the sword, the next judgment mentioned, comes into the world for delay of justice, and the perversion of it.

He that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword;
the design of the phrase is to show, that there will be a just retaliation made to the antichristian beast, for all his cruelty to the saints, and the murders of them; and that because he has shed much blood of the saints, blood shall be given him to drink, and he shall be used in like manner he has used others; see ( Genesis 9:6 ) ( Matthew 26:52 ) .

Here is the patience and the faith of the saints;
meaning either that hereby, through the cruelties and barbarities of the Romish antichrist, the patience and faith of the saints are tried; and that they have great need of them, and of the exercise of them, under such usages; and that these being tried, and continue, will receive much commendation, honour, and praise; or else the sense is, that it requires both faith and patience in the saints, to believe that antichrist will be thus destroyed, and to wait quietly till the time comes. The Arabic version reads, "here is the patience and prayers of the saints": who cry, how long will it be ere our blood is avenged? and have need of patience to rest a while, till their prayers are answered.

Apocalipsis 13:10 In-Context

8 Y adoraron a la bestia todos los que pertenecen a este mundo cuyos nombres no estaban escritos en el libro de la vida antes de la creación del mundo, el libro que le pertenece al Cordero, que fue sacrificado.

9 Todo el que tenga oídos para oír
debe escuchar y entender.

10 Todo el que esté destinado a la cárcel,
a la cárcel será llevado.
Todo el que esté destinado a morir a espada,
morirá a filo de espada.
Esto significa que el pueblo de Dios tiene que soportar la persecución con paciencia y permanecer fiel.

11 La bestia que sale de la tierra
Luego vi a otra bestia; esta salía de la tierra. Tenía dos cuernos como los de un cordero, pero hablaba con la voz de un dragón.

12 Ejercía toda la autoridad de la primera bestia y exigía que toda la tierra y sus habitantes adoraran a la primera bestia, la que se había recuperado de su herida mortal.
