Exegesis
Finally, the prepositional phrase meta tou thēriou {μετὰ τοῦ θηρίου | me-tá toû thē-rí-ou} ‘with the beast’ signals close association and cooperation with the beastly power, which guided the English rendering ‘with the beast’ and ‘together with the beast’ to emphasize alliance rather than mere accompaniment.
In context — Revelation 17:12
And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom , but they receive authority as kings for one hour with the beast.
