The principalities and powers fought over who would get

the concession to hawk the replicas of the image of the beast.

Revelation 13:15

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

A careful review of the greek shows that spirit is given to the image - not life -

only God gives life.

This is the result - And he had power to give spirit unto the image of the beast ...
