Exegesis
The main finite verb is proskynesousin {προσκυνήσουσιν | pro-sky-nḗ-sou-sin} “they will worship,” with the object auton {αὐτόν | au-tón} “him,” whose referent is supplied by the broader discourse (the beast).
The subject is expressed by the articular participial phrase pantes hoi katoikountes epi tēs gēs {πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς | pán-tes hoí ka-toi-koûn-tes e-pì tês gês}, literally “all the ones dwelling upon the earth,” where katoikountes functions substantivally and the prepositional phrase epi tēs gēs specifies their sphere.
This is further qualified by the genitive chain tou arniou tou esphagmenou {τοῦ ἀρνίου τοῦ ἐσφαγμένου | toû ar-ní-ou toû es-pha-gmé-nou}, in which the perfect passive participle esphagmenou “having been slain” functions attributively to describe the Lamb and foregrounds His once-for-all sacrificial death with abiding significance.
