Exegesis
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.
In context — Revelation 13:8
And all who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain from the foundation of the world .
