force of the World-power represented by the Roman Empire"
(Swete). {Of the false prophet} (	ou pseudoproph(8874)ou). Cf.  Mt

of mouth in  1:16  ( 9:17f.  11:5  12:15  19:15,21 ) as a chief
seat of influence. In  2Th 2:8  we have "the breath of his mouth"

pneuma see  Mr 1:23f.  3:11  5:2ff.  Ac 5:16  8:7 . Christ
