And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Se le dio poder para dar vida a la imagen de la bestia, haciéndola literalmente hablar y moverse. Y aquí está la parte aterradora: cualquiera que se negara a postrarse y adorar esta estatua viviente sería ejecutado.
La imagen de la bestia recibe vida sobrenatural y mata a quienes se niegan a adorarla.
📚 Contexto Histórico
The Book of Revelation was written by the Apostle John during a time of intense persecution under the Roman Empire, around 95 AD, when Christians were forced to worship the emperor as a god or face severe consequences. The "image of the beast" likely symbolizes the statues of Roman emperors that were venerated in the imperial cult, representing the state's demand for ultimate loyalty. This verse fits into the broader biblical narrative of spiritual warfare, warning believers about deceptive powers that oppose God's kingdom.
