Exegesis
The participial phrase poiounta sēmeia {ποιοῦντα σημεῖα | poi-oûn-ta sē-meî-a} ‘performing signs’ functions attributively, further characterizing these spirits by their deceptive, wonder-working activity.
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 .
