Revelation 14:8

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Revelation 14:8-12

Of this effect and result of the Reformation and of the fall of spiritual Babylon the next angels made announcement: v. 8. And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. v. 9. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, if any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand, v. 10. the same shall drink of the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Revelation 14:1-8

The Lamb’s Chosen Worshipers Revelation 14:1-8 The blessed ones with whom this chapter opens are only the first-fruit sheaf from the great harvest field. Think of it! If one sheaf consists of 144,000, what will be the entire number of the saved? The characteristics attributed to them may be realized by us all now and here. We must bear the name, that is, the nature and character of Jesus, in our faces; we must be pure in heart and life; and we must go wherever He goes. If to Gethsemane, we... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Revelation 14:1-20

The attention of the seer was now turned again to the heavenly order. The redeemed are seen standing with the Lamb, a company of obedient souls who follow Him "whithersoever He goeth." In distinction from the seventh angel who had sounded the trumpet John now refers to "another angel." At this point the unfallen angels are described as exercising a remarkable ministry on earth. The first of them proclaims eternal good tidings. Yet another proclaims the fall of Babylon. The Gospel calling men... read more

Mercy and Punishment Revelation 14:1-20 , Revelation 15:1-8 , Revelation 16:1-21 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As we open our study on three chapters in Revelation, we find various scenes in chapter fourteen which we wish to present, by way of introduction. 1. We have one hundred and forty-four thousand redeemed from the earth. The chapter opens with the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, with Him were the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 14:6-11

The Three Angels Declare that the Time of Judgment Has Arrived (Revelation 14:6-11 ). This section is paranthetical to bring out that those who are to be reaped have brought their own judgment on themselves in spite of God’s pleadings. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 14:8

‘And another, a second angel, followed, saying “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great which has made all the nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication”.’ The idea and wording connects with Isaiah 21:9, ‘Babylon is fallen, is fallen’ where it relates to idolatry, and with Jeremiah 51:7-8 from where he obtains the picture of her making the earth drunk with her ideas. The doom of this great city, with all it represents of pride and rebellion, which has drawn on itself God’s wrath... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 14:6-12

Revelation 14:6-2 Kings : . The Vision of the Three Angels. Revelation 14:6 . an eternal gospel: it is doubtful whether gospel is here used in its technical sense. It probably means a proclamation of good news. The proclamation here is one which urges men to fear and worship God in view of the coming judgment ( cf. Mark 1:15). Revelation 14:8 . Babylon: there can be no doubt that Babylon here means Rome. There are traces in other apocalyptic literature of the same usage of the word.—... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 14:8

The apostle is shown, that other messengers of God should come forth, during the reign of antichrist, that should declare his ruin as certainly as if it were already effected. Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city: these words are taken from Isaiah 21:9, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath brokers unto the ground. So Jeremiah 51:8, Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed. There is no doubt but both the prophets spake of that Babylon into which... read more

THE VISION OF THE FAITHFUL SERVANTS OF GODCRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESTHAT we may be assured of the safety of God’s faithful ones, even during the time of the triumph of the beast and false prophet, we are shown the sealed ones all secure and in the charge of the Lamb; and we are further assured that seven angels are ministering to the protection and comfort of the imperilled saints. The angel of good news (Revelation 14:6-7); the angel proclaiming the doom of the great world city (Revelation... read more
