Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 1:1-20

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 1:10

10. Was Became, again; the word designates his transition. In the Spirit Spirit-wrapt. Compare Revelation 4:2; Revelation 21:10. If the man’s own spirit were meant, we might suppose the thought to be that the consciousness had ascended from the lower ground of sense, and so mounted into the spirit as to be in communication with the spirit world. But the divine Spirit is doubtless meant; and the thought is, that the human spirit is in the divine Spirit as in a divine atmosphere, in... read more
