AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 13:6 And he opened his mouth to speak blasphemies (abusive speech, slander) against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, and those who live in heaven. |
Bible Question:
Who are "those that dwell in heaven?" The cross reference to this verse is Rev 7:15 which suggests that these are the great tribulation saints. Yet the next verse states: "It was also given to him to make war with the saints." Who are these two groups? |
Bible Answer: My interpretation(For what it's worth).. I would say "those who dwell in heaven" are the raptured saints. Almost every translation says Antichrist will blaspheme God, His name, His temple, AND those who dwell in heaven(note the implication made when the NASB says "THAT IS, those who dwell in heaven"). As far as Antichrist making war with "the saints", I would say these are the ones who are left behind after the rapture but after which give their lives to Christ(tribulation saints). Rev 13:8 makes the distinction that those who worship Antichrist will be those whose names "are not written in the book of life..." Well, that's my take on it. I hope I helped. |
