OET (OET-RV)This land animal carries out all the orders of the sea creature and insists that the people who live on the earth worship the sea creature—the one that almost died except its wound healed.

OET-LVAnd the authority of_the first wild_animal all it_is_doing before it.
And it_is_making the earth and the ones in it dwelling, in_order_that they_will_be_prostrating before_the wild_animal the first, of_whom was_healed the wound of_ the _death of_it.

SR-GNTΚαὶ τὴν ἐξουσίαν τοῦ πρώτου θηρίου πᾶσαν ποιεῖ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ποιεῖ τὴν γῆν καὶ τοὺς ἐν αὐτῇ κατοικοῦντας, ἵνα προσκυνήσουσιν τὸ θηρίον τὸ πρῶτον, οὗ ἐθεραπεύθη πληγὴ τοῦ θανάτου αὐτοῦ.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

13:12 he required . . . people to worship the first beast: Imperial Rome demanded worship of the emperor Domitian.
• whose fatal wound had been healed: This description might refer to Domitian, who was viewed as the reincarnation of Nero (see study note on 13:3). The image is a picture of the constant reemergence of evil, particularly in the latter days (see study note on 17:8).

TTNTyndale Theme Notes:

The Antichrist

The term antichrist appears only in John’s letters (1 Jn 2:18, 22; 4:3; 2 Jn 1:7). John expected many antichrists to appear in history (1 Jn 2:18), all of whom would deny that Jesus is both divine and human (1 Jn 2:22; 4:2-3; 2 Jn 1:7).

Paul speaks of a “man of lawlessness,” who will come in the last days to stir up rebellion against God (2 Thes 2:1-12). This figure will “come to do the work of Satan,” chiefly by means of deception. Though not specifically labeled as “antichrist,” this “man of lawlessness,” like the “antichrists” described in John’s letters, will stand in opposition to the truth.

In Revelation 13, the hostile spirit opposed to Christ is personified by “another beast” who serves the dragon (Satan) and the first beast. The number of this antichrist, 666, probably stood for Nero and perhaps for the emperor Domitian (see study note on 17:8). Emperor worship—which proclaimed “Caesar is Lord!”—was a pseudo-religion that stood in opposition to proclaiming Christ as Lord.

Whether John expected a final antichrist even greater than a political figure like Nero or Domitian is uncertain. Either way, Christians must take seriously the presence of evil and its opposition to Christ in the people and power structures of the world. Resisting these enemies may lead to persecution and even death, but our hope rests in ultimate victory through Christ.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ

before it

Here the word before means “in front of” or “in the presence of” another person. Alternate translation: [in its presence]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὗ ἐθεραπεύθη ἡ πληγὴ τοῦ θανάτου αὐτοῦ

˱of˲_whom /was/_healed the wound ¬the ˱of˲_death ˱of˲_it

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [who had recovered from his wound of death]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἡ πληγὴ τοῦ θανάτου

the wound ¬the ˱of˲_death

John is using a possessive form to describe a wound that led to death. Alternate translation: [deadly wound]
