AND DECEIVES THEM WHO DWELL ON THE EARTH BY THE MEANS OF THOSE MIRACLES WHICH hE HAD POWER TO DO IN THE SIGHT OF THE BEAST (refers to the efforts of the false prophet to elevate the Antichrist; the word "beast" is used interchangeably between the Antichrist, the false prophet, and the fallen Angel; whatever they call themselves, the Holy Spirit refers to them as " beast"); SAYING TO THEM WHO DWELL ON THE EARTH, THAT THEY SHOULD MAKE AN IMAGE TO THE BEAST (it is an image for the purpose of worship, and will probably be set up in the Temple built by the Jews in Jerusalem), WHICH HAD THE WOUND BY A SWORD, AND DID LIVE (refers to the Antichrist somehow being wounded, a wound incidentally which should have taken his life; that he lives is construed as a miracle, with credit probably going to the false prophet; this is not the "wound" of Verse 3; that was on "one of his heads" which had to do with as Empire ---actually the Grecian Empire--- , and not an individual; this wound of Verse 14 pertains to an individual in this case the Antichrist). Rev. 13: 14
