Revelation 13:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

And he doeth great wonders; lying wonders, 2 Thessalonians 2:9, such as, by God's permission, false prophets might do, Deuteronomy 13:1,2. Prophets were to be judged true or false, not from any signs or wonders which they did, but from the doctrine they taught, and would by those signs establish. So that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men; wonders as great as those which Elijah wrought.
