Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Revelation 16:1-21

SPECIAL DOCTRINO-ETHICAL AND HOMILETICAL NOTES (ADDENDUM)Section ThirteenthEarth-picture of the Seven Vials of Anger, or the End-judgment in its general aspect. (Ch. 16.)General.—The special homiletical treatment of this section is, like that of others, made more difficult by the disagreement of exegeses. According to Hengstenberg, for instance, the earth denotes the earthly-minded; the sea, the sea of nations, the unquiet wicked world (in antithesis to the earthly-minded!); the fountains of... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Revelation 16:1-9

Recompense for the Blood of Saints Revelation 16:1-9 It makes us pause to hear that angels, who rejoice over one sinner that repenteth, are employed in these terrible judgments. It is very startling to hear their outspoken acquiescence in the plagues that vitiate the earth, sea, springs, and sun. The angel of the waters insists that God has judged righteously, and the altar, beneath which are the souls of the martyrs, assents. Our softer age shrinks from such conceptions of the divine... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Revelation 16:1-21

A condensed and graphic description of the processes of judgment on the rebellious and sinful race follows. Evil has wrought itself out to its most terrible expression, and now it is to be smitten without mercy. Everything opened with a great voice sounding from the temple. Terrible physical suffering follows the pouring out of each of the first four bowls. The fifth angel pours his bowl, and the kingdom of the beast is wrapped in darkness. Notwithstanding the unimaginable terror of their... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Revelation 16:1-21

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. If these one hundred and forty-four thousand are the same as the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 16:8-9

‘And the fourth poured out his bowl on the sun and it was given to it to scorch men with fire, and men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues and they did not repent to give him glory.’ This bowl is in deliberate contrast to what happens to the people of God of whom it was promised ‘the sun will not light on them or any heat’ (Revelation 7:17). The people of God will enjoy God’s protection. But in contrast the enemies of God will not... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 16:8

Here we have no history to guide us in the government of our fancies and judgments, but their opinion seems most probable to me, who, by the sun, understand some great prince or potentate, or the whole civil power in the antichristian heaven; suppose the Spaniard, or the emperor. It seems to signify either some destruction of such civil powers, or some defection of them from the papacy, which will vex and enrage antichrist and his party, as if they were scorched with fire. This I look upon as... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Revelation 16:1-21

THE SEVEN VIALS, OR BOWLSCRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES“THIS chapter describes the pouring out of the seven vials—that is to say, the extremest punishments of God—upon the throne and empire of the beast. Antichrist had promised to mankind a new, golden age under his rule; but he promised without God. Christ now wields His own sceptre, and smites with repeated blows the nations who have been led astray. It is the history of the plagues of Egypt over again. A noisome sore consumes the flesh of the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Revelation 16:1-21

In the fifteenth chapter of the book of Revelation, we had sort of the introduction to chapter sixteen, as we saw the seven angels in heaven who are given the seven final plagues which complete the judgment of God upon the earth. And these seven angels came out of the temple and they were clothed in pure white linen. And one of the cherubim gave to the angels these vials of wrath to pour out upon the earth. And the temple of God was filled with the smoke from the glory of God and it was closed... read more
