Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 17:17

For God did put it into their hearts to do his mind, and to come to one mind, and to give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.For God did put it into their hearts ... The God of heaven will direct evil men to do his will, as often exemplified in the Old Testament. It should be noted in connection with this that it is the will of God for the harlot-beast to continue on the earth until all of God's words are accomplished. She does not exist a single day... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 17:15-18

Revelation 17:15-18. The waters which thou sawest, &c.— In the former part of this description, (Revelation 17:1.) the whore is represented like ancient Babylon, sitting upon many waters, and these waters are here said expressly to signify peoples, and multitudes, &c. So many words in the plural number, fitly denote the great extensiveness of her power and jurisdiction; and it is a remarkable peculiarity of Rome, different from all other governments in the world, that her authority is... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 17:17

17. hath put—the prophetical past tense for the future. fulfil—Greek, "do," or "accomplish."

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 17:17

The ultimate cause of this action is God’s sovereign purpose. God has used the forces of evil for His own purposes before (cf. Revelation 16:13-14; Revelation 16:16; Judges 7:22; 1 Samuel 14:20; 2 Chronicles 20:23; Jeremiah 25:9-11; Ezekiel 38:21; Haggai 2:22; Zechariah 14:13). Nevertheless the sinner is always responsible for his or her actions (Ezekiel 18)."This verse denies the existence of any ultimate dualism in the world. In the final analysis the powers of evil serve the purposes of... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 17:1-18

Babylon the great HarlotThe judgment on Rome, which had been announced before, is now shown in detail. The identification of ’Babylon’ with Rome, here and elsewhere in Rev., is supported (HDB.) by the following considerations:—The name Babylon in Revelation 17:5; ’is described as mystery, i.e. a name to be allegorically interpreted... B. is described (1) as “the harlot” the supreme antithesis of “the bride,” “the holy city,” “the new Jerus.” (2) as the centre and ruler of the nations,... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Revelation 17:17

(17) For God hath put . . .—Better, For God gave it into their hearts to do his mind, and (to do) one mind, and to give their kingdom, &c. The kings give their kingdom to the wild beast; their authority and might is used for him, whether in making war upon the Lamb (Revelation 17:14) or in casting down the harlot. In these enterprises they act unitedly; there is given to them to make “one mind.” But they are only carrying out the righteous will of God; God wills that the harlot shall fall;... read more

Revelation 17:6 Mercy and love are sins in Rome and hell. Beaumont and Fletcher, 'Bonduca,' Act iv. Scene 4. The Lamb's War with the Beast Revelation 17:14 It is strange that the most mysterious book of the Bible should be especially singled out as the Revelation. Yet though no book is less patient of a detailed and pedantic exposition, none is more full of the triumph and the tears of God's Word, none is richer in lessons to guide us in the stern and fluctuating conflict of our Lord with... read more
