Revelation 17:14

άρνίον (G721) агнец,
πολεμήσουσιν fut. ind. act. от πολεμέω (G4170) воевать,
νικήσει fut. ind. act. от νικάω (G3528) побеждать, одерживать победу, покорять, одолевать.
κύριος κυρίων (G2962) Господь господ. Gen. может быть gen. правления: "Он Господь, Который правит над господами". Возможно, это иносказание суперлатива (GGBB, 298). Слово или корень κύριος используется в Откровении 22 раза, показывая, что Христос — истинный правитель. О параллели из Даниила см. G.K.Beale, "The Origin of the Title 'King of Kings and Lord of Lords' in Revelation 17:14" NTS 31 (1985): 618-20.
κλητός (G2822) призванный,
έκλεκτός (G1588) выбранный, избранный.
