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

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Revelation 16:10-21

“The War of the Great Day of God” Revelation 16:10-21 All these judgments apparently refer to the destruction of those great systems of falsehood and apostasy which set themselves against the truth and purity of God. The dragon, beast, and false prophet are the devil’s mimicry of the divine Trinity. The dragon corresponds to God the Father in delegating His authority; the beast, like our Lord, is crowned with diadems, Revelation 13:1 ; Revelation 19:12 ; the false prophet directs attention... 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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 16:15

KEEPING THE GARMENTS‘Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest be walk naked, and they see his shame.’ Revelation 16:15 Let us consider some of the many reasons why the utmost carefulness and prayerfulness should mark the path of those who wear the ‘beautiful garments.’ I. The eye of the world is never so keen as when it is fixed on the follower of Christ. Nothing gives the world so much pleasure as finding some sin-spot on the Christian’s garments. II. We must also... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 16:12

‘And the sixth poured out his bowl on the great river, the River Euphrates, and its water was dried up in order that the way may be made ready for the kings who come from the sunrising. And I saw coming out of the mouth of the monster and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits as it were frogs. For they are spirits of devils, working signs, which go forth to the kings of the whole world to gather them together to the war of the great day... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 16:11-16

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 16:11

This is the same that was said, Revelation 16:9, of a former party belonging to the beast, and doth but signify, that there will be found the same vein of blindness of mind, hardness of heart, and reprobacy of sense, running through that whole party, until they be wholly ruined. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 16:12

Upon the great river Euphrates; upon the Turkish empire: See Poole on "Revelation 9:14". And the water thereof was dried up; their force, power, and strength shall be destroyed. That the way of the kings of the east might be prepared; that a way may be prepared for the conversion of the Jews. This I find to be the sense of the most learned and judicious interpreters of this mysterious book, amongst whom I count Mr. Mede, Dr. More, Pareus, Mr. Durham; &c. But it will be reasonable to say... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 16:13

God here showeth John, that after the power and strength both of the pope and Turks should be broken, the devil would yet make one push more; to which purpose he would influence some on the behalf of the antichristian secular power, others on the behalf of the beast with two horns, or the false prophet. read more
