NASB | Revelation 17:12 "The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 17:12 "The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but [together] they receive authority as kings for a single hour [for a common purpose] along with the beast. [Dan 7:20-24] |
Bible Question:
Does horn mean king consistently in the Rev or is it somewhere used with a different meaning? Does 'one hour' mean 60 minutes or simply mean 'for a certain time?' Bless you. |
Bible Answer: I missed this one when I was answering you the other day... This one is ineed referring to a period of time longer than an hour, there are probably a few more like this in Revelation that I inadvertantly missed. I think when it comes to weeks and years in Revelation you can take that at face value. But where Revelation says in one chapter that something take a specific amount of time and then in another gives a hour we should take that to mean for a while, but look back to the other references in Revelation for specific weeks and years. This is because Revelation has a tendency to repeat itself, first it will describe something before it supposedly hapens and then it has a tendecy to take you to a place where it is supposedly actual taking place.
