Exegesis
Their victory is specified through three parallel prepositional phrases introduced by ek {ἐκ | ek} ‘out of, from’: ek tou thēriou {ἐκ τοῦ θηρίου | ek tou thēríou}, ek tēs eikonos autou {ἐκ τῆς εἰκόνος αὐτοῦ | ek tês eikónos autoû}, and ek tou arithmou tou onomatos autou {ἐκ τοῦ ἀριθμοῦ τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ | ek tou arithmoû tou onómatos autoû}. The repetition of ek builds rhetorical intensity, emphasizing deliverance from every facet of the beast’s power.
In context — Revelation 15:2
And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing on the sea of glass, holding harps of God .
