F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Revelation 11:14-19

“He Shall Reign For Ever and Ever” Revelation 11:14-19 ; Revelation 12:1-6 The kingdom is even now Christ’s, but it is hidden, even as He is. One day it will be manifested. For a long time David was the anointed king of Israel, but Saul sat on the throne until the predestined hour came when the tribes of Israel made David their chosen monarch. This surely is a type of that which will one day become apparent to the whole creation. The kingdom of the world will wholly and permanently become... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Revelation 11:1-19

John is called on to measure the temple. In such measurements the court of the Gentiles is not to be recognized. It shows God dealing with the world through His chosen people. The account of the two witnesses must be taken in connection with the recognition of the temple. Their work will be to tell the will of God to an age in rebellion against Him. No malice is able to accomplish the destruction of these witnesses until their work is ended. When that is done they are slain, and there is the... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Revelation 11:1-19

The Two Witnesses Revelation 10:1-11 and Revelation 11:1-19 INTRODUCTORY WORDS By way of introduction to the study of the eleventh chapter of Revelation we wish to say a word about the tenth chapter. 1. The mighty angel which came down from Heaven. The angel described in Revelation 10:1 came down with a cloud, a rainbow was round about his head; his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire. The angel had in his hand a little book that was open. His right foot was set upon the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 11:15

GOD’S JUST CLAIM‘The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ: and He shall reign for ever and ever.’ Revelation 11:15 (R.V.) This is a just claim which God makes. He asks no more than His rights when He demands that His sovereignty should be universal. It is a just claim for many reasons. I. Because the world is God’s world—‘All souls are Mine.’ ‘In Him we live and move and have our being.’ It is not strange then that He should ask the allegiance of all. II.... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 11:1-14

The Measuring of the Sanctuary and the Two Witnesses (Revelation 11:1-14 ). It is significant that these events take place within the second ‘woe’ when wholesale death pervades the Middle East (Revelation 11:14). They describe God’s final plea to both physical Israel and those of the nations in Jerusalem to turn to Him in the final days of the age, a plea which meets with at least partial success. John knows that before the end God will show special concern for His rejected people Israel as... read more

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

‘The second woe is past. Behold the third woe comes quickly.’ In Revelation 22:7; Revelation 22:12; Revelation 22:20 it is Christ Who ‘comes quickly’, and we find here that the same applies to the third woe. For that final woe for mankind is indeed the arrival of the Judge of all the earth, as Heaven now declares (Revelation 11:18). While it is a joy for the people of God, for those who dwell on earth it is the final woe, and they can only plead to the mountains and the rocks to hide them from... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 11:15

‘And the seventh angel sounded, and there followed great voices in Heaven, and they said, “The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign for ever and ever”.’ Thus is declared the final hour. This is the seventh and last trumpet (compare 1 Corinthians 15:52). The church is raptured, the king is crowned and will now immediately exert His authority and judge the world. ‘The kingdom of the world’ is now His. The kings of the earth, and the rulers,... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 11:16-17

‘And the twenty four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshipped God, saying, “We give thanks Oh Lord God, the Almighty, who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and enforced your reign (reigned - aorist ingressive)”.’ We note that there is no longer a mention of ‘is to come’ (Revelation 1:8; Revelation 4:8) for He has come, and it is now the end of time. He has taken His great power and enforced His reign. He has of course previously been... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 11:18

‘And the nations were angry, and your wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and the time to give their reward to your servants the prophets and to the saints and to those who fear your name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.’ Now God reigns His judgment begins. The nations were angry against God, for they were facing many trials and blamed God rather than themselves, now they will face the anger of God in return, His anger at sin. The time has... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 11:19

‘And the Temple of God in Heaven was opened and in His temple was seen the ark of the covenant, and there followed lightnings and voices and thunders and an earthquake and great hail.’ Nothing is secret any longer. Heaven is opened and made known to earth. The ark of the covenant represents the throne of God, set between the cherubim, where God had taken His power and reigns, and within it is His covenant with His people and the world, which include the ten commandments by which the world will... read more
