Exegesis
The climactic genitive chain tou theou tou pantokratoros {τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ παντοκράτορος | toû the-oû toû pan-to-krá-to-ros} ‘of God, the Almighty’ anchors this eschatological conflict firmly in the sphere of divine initiative and sovereignty. In translation, relative clauses and infinitival purpose are rendered with English finite clauses and purpose phrases (“to gather them for the battle”) to preserve the causative and teleological flow of the Greek.
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 .
