Exegesis
The telic prepositional phrase eis ton polemon {εἰς τὸν πόλεμον | eis tòn pó-le-mon} ‘for the war’ clarifies the end toward which they are gathered, elaborated by the genitive phrase tēs hēmeras tēs megalēs {τῆς ἡμέρας τῆς μεγάλης | tēs hē-mé-ras tēs me-gá-lēs} ‘of the great day’.
In context — Revelation 16:14
For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole inhabited world, to gather them for the battle of the great day of God the Almighty .
