Exegesis
The initial clause, edothē autō poiēsai polemon meta tōn hagiōn {ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ποιῆσαι πόλεμον μετὰ τῶν ἁγίων | edó-thē autô poi-ḗ-sai pó-le-mon me-tá tô̄n ha-gí-ōn}, combines the aorist passive edothē “it was given” with the complementary infinitive poiēsai “to make,” forming a construction that expresses granted capability or permission “to make war with the saints.” The prepositional phrase meta tōn hagiōn with the genitive marks association in conflict, “with the holy ones” in the sense of “against them” in battle context.
In context — Revelation 13:7
And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to conquer them, and authority was given to him over every tribe and people and language and nation.
