'Permitted' in the Bible

The beast was given a mouth speaking proud words and blasphemies, and he was permitted to exercise ruling authority for forty-two months.

The beast was permitted to go to war against the saints and conquer them. He was given ruling authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation,

and, by the signs he was permitted to perform on behalf of the beast, he deceived those who live on the earth. He told those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had been wounded by the sword, but still lived.

Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was permitted to scorch people with fire.

She was permitted to be dressed in bright, clean, fine linen" (for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints).
