Bible Question:
"These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful." Rev 17:14 Are there three groups mentioned here? 1. "the called" 2. (the) chosen 3. (the) faithful OR Does this verse describe just ONE group of followers? Who are these or they? WHEN does this happen? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Mommapbs! I'll leave the 'when' part of the question for someone else, but I will take a stab at the 'who' part of the question. :-) The Greek of Rev. 17:14 seems pretty clear that one group of individuals is mentioned, but described in three ways. The Greek literally says, "...and those with Him called and chosen and faithful." 'Those' is a plural definite article, which is not repeated. Therefore, the three adjectives all are describing one group. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
