Apocalipsis 9:19

19 Es que el poder de los caballos radicaba en su boca y en su cola; pues sus colas, semejantes a serpientes, tenían cabezas con las que hacían daño.

Apocalipsis 9:19 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 9:19

For their power is in their mouth
In what proceeded out of their mouth, or seethed to do so; in their guns, and what came out of them:

and in their tails;
which may design their foot soldiers, which were as the tail to their horse, and who sometimes did great service; or their way of fighting when they fled, by casting up arrows into the air, which would fall upon the heads and horses of those that pursued them; or their ambushments, by which they destroyed many; or their perfidious violation of treaties; or it may be their tails may intend the doctrine of Mahomet, the false prophet, who is the tail, ( Isaiah 9:15 ) ,

for their tails [were] like unto serpents;
crooked, crafty, poisonous, and, pernicious:

and had heads;
every tail had a head to it; which may be understood of the officers of the foot soldiers, or of the priests and teachers of the Mahometan religion:

and with them they do hurt;
with their guns, the power in their mouth, they did hurt to the bodies of men; and with their false doctrines, their tails, they did hurt to the souls of men; the Ethiopic version here adds, "five months"; which seems to be taken from ( Revelation 9:10 ) .

Apocalipsis 9:19 In-Context

17 Así vi en la visión a los caballos y a sus jinetes: Tenían coraza de color rojo encendido, azul violeta y amarillo como azufre. La cabeza de los caballos era como de león, y por la boca echaban fuego, humo y azufre.

18 La tercera parte de la humanidad murió a causa de las tres plagas de fuego, humo y azufre que salían de la boca de los caballos.

19 Es que el poder de los caballos radicaba en su boca y en su cola; pues sus colas, semejantes a serpientes, tenían cabezas con las que hacían daño.

20 El resto de la humanidad, los que no murieron a causa de estas plagas, tampoco se arrepintieron de sus malas acciones ni dejaron de adorar a los demonios y a los ídolos de oro, plata, bronce, piedra y madera, los cuales no pueden ver ni oír ni caminar.

21 Tampoco se arrepintieron de sus asesinatos ni de sus artes mágicas, inmoralidad sexual y robos.
