Revelation 13:17
King James Version
28 Jul 2026
“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
τὶς
Someone, anyone, something. Tis. Scripture often hinges on this small word: if anyone thirsts, let him come. The invitation is unrestricted. No one is excluded from the call.

δύναμαι
To be able, to have power, to be capable. Dunamai. With God all things are possible. The limit of what is possible is not human ability but divine will.

εἰ

εἰ
If, whether, that. Ei. Scripture's great conditionals hinge on this word, framing promises, warnings, and tests of faith. If you confess, if you believe, if you remain. The ifs of God are invitations, not uncertainties.

Wild beast, dangerous animal. Thērion. In Revelation, the beast becomes the symbol of godless power arrayed against the people of God. Not every danger wears a face you recognize. Stay watchful.
