Rev 17: 13 Exposited:

a) In the 15 days period, when Europe is Illuminized, they will have one mind or opinion. Concerning this word we are told. - “gnome… to discern, know. Generally it means capacity of judgment, faculty of discernment as far as conduct is determined… As implying will, in the sense of accord, consent… as implying opinion, judgment, in reference to oneself… It signifies consciousness, mind, opinion, thought…” Spiros Zodhiates, The Complete Word Study Dictionary New Testament, p.377

I. This one opinion consented to by the nations of Europe is the left-leaning, Socialism, Communism, Globalism and godless concepts or ideology that led to the French Revolution and its hate for Jesus and Christianity. We are told: “At the same time anarchy is seeking to sweep away all law, not only divine but human. The centralizing of wealth and power; the vast combinations for the enriching of the few at the expense of the many; the combinations of the poorer classes for the defense of their interests and claims; the spirit of unrest, of riot and bloodshed; the worldwide dissemination of the same teachings that led to the French Revolution- all are tending to involve the whole world in a struggle similar to that which convulsed in France”. Ellen G. White, Education, p. 228, (Emphasis supplied)

b) The ten kings or nations of Europe shall give (or distribute) their power (Greek-dunamis-ability) and strength (Greek-exousia-authority) unto the scarlet colored beast.

i) The dunamis or dynamics of a nation is its constitution, because it shows how the nation operates and is governed.

ii) The dynamics or the Constitutions of the European nations given over to Illuminati or Communism, means that they will all reflect and operate by the NO RIGHTS and FREEDOMS philosophy of the scarlet colored beast. This is a basic example: “but Communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis…” Karl Marx, Friedrich Engles, The Communist Manifesto, p. 103. “And the abolition of this state of things is called by the bourgeois, the abolition of individuality and freedom! And rightly so”. Ibid, p. 98. “We must combat religion-that is the ABC of all materialism, and consequently of Marxism”. V.I. Lenin, On Religion, p. 21. “Down with religion and long live atheism; the dissemination of atheist views is our chief task”. Ibid, p. 21. “A Marxist must be a materialist, i.e. an enemy of religion…” Ibid, p. 23

iii) The authority of the European nations is their governments, legislature, and judiciary. Giving their authority to the scarlet colored beast is giving their governments, legislature, and judiciary, with the relative executive powers to Communism, Socialism, Illuminism, etc. This facilitates the persecution of undesirables like God’s people and even false religion. Thus the executive authority of the European nations will be Illuminized or Socialized.
