¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

² sn This second beast is identified in Rev 16:13 as “the false prophet.”

³ tn Grk “and it had,” a continuation of the preceding sentence. On the use of the pronoun “he” to refer to the second beast, see the note on the word “It” in 13:1.

⁴ tn Or perhaps, “like a ram.” Here L&N 4.25 states, “In the one context in the NT, namely, Re 13:11, in which ἀρνίον refers literally to a sheep, it is used in a phrase referring to the horns of an ἀρνίον.

⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
