Context of Revelation 13:9

7And it was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them. It was also given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation. 8All those who live on the earth will worship it, everyone whose name was not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered. If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen. 10If anyone is to be taken captive, into captivity he goes. If anyone is to be killed with a sword, with a sword he will be killed. This calls for endurance and faithfulness from the saints. 11Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9If any man have an ear, let him hear - See the notes on Revelation 2:7. The idea here is, that what was here said respecting the “beast” was worthy of special attention, as it pertained to most important events in the history of the church.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 9-10The scene (Revelation 13:1–10) ends with a dramatic conclusion similar to Jeremiah 15:2; 43:11. Anyone who can hear must listen, because judgment is coming (compare Revelation 2:7, 11, 17).Read the comment
