"These will make war with the Lamb"

Text: Revelation 17:14

A FUTURE NOT YET FULFILLED

The teaching angel gave insight with reference to the ten horns. This was part of the wisdom that the Apostle John did not have.

“The ten horns which you saw are ten kings
who have received no kingdom as yet,
but they receive authority for one hour
as kings with the beast.
These are of one mind,
and they will give their power and authority to the beast.
These will make war with the Lamb,
and the Lamb will overcome them,
for He is Lord of lords and King of kings;
and those who are with Him
are called, chosen, and faithful.”
