 {And I saw} (kai). No verb (eidon) in the old MSS., but
clearly understood from verse  2 . {As though it had been
smitten} (h(9373) esphagmen(886e)). Perfect passive participle of
sphaz(935c), as in  5:6 , accusative singular agreeing with mian
(one of the heads), object of eidon understood, "as though
slain" (so the word means in seven other instances in the book).
There is a reference to the death and new life of the Lamb in
 5:6 . {And his death-stroke was healed} (kai h(8820)pl(8867)(8820)autou
etherapeuth(885c)). First aorist passive indicative of 	herapeu(935c).
"The stroke of death" (that led to death). Apparently refers to
the death of Nero in June 68 A.D. by his own hand. But after his
death pretenders arose claiming to be Nero _redivivus_ even as
late as 89 (Tacitus, _Hist_. i. 78, ii. 8, etc.). John seems to
regard Domitian as Nero over again in the persecutions carried on
by him. The distinction is not always preserved between the beast
(Roman Empire) and the seven heads (emperors), but in  17:10  the
beast survives the loss of five heads. Here it is the
death-stroke of one head, while in verses  12,14  the beast
himself receives a mortal wound. {Wondered after the beast}
(ethaumasth(8820)opis(9320)tou th(8872)iou). First aorist passive
(deponent) indicative of 	haumaz(935c), to wonder at, to admire, as
in  17:8 . For this pregnant use of opis(935c) see  Joh 12:9  Ac
5:37  20:30  1Ti 5:15 . "All the earth wondered at and followed
after the beast," that is Antichrist as represented by Domitian
as Nero _redivivus_. But Charles champions the view that
Caligula, not Nero, is the head that received the death-stroke
and recovered and set up statues of himself for worship, even
trying to do it in Jerusalem.
