Which, from the influence of the devil, should solicit the kings of the earth to join together in a battle against the church. This is, undoubtedly, the battle in Armageddon, Revelation 16:16. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 16:15

I come as a thief; that is, I come suddenly and unexpectedly: see Matthew 24:43,Matthew 24:44; Luke 12:39; 1 Thessalonians 5:2; Revelation 3:3. It may be understood either of Christ’s coming to the last judgment, or of his coming in his vindicative providence to be revenged on his enemies. Blessed is he that watcheth, he is a happy man that maketh it his business to keep himself from sin, in prospect of any such coming, and keepeth his garments, and that persevereth in my ways and truth; lest... read more

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

Either the devil brought them together, or God by his providence ordered that they should be gathered together, into the place where God designed to destroy them and their armies, for so the word Armageddon signifieth, say some; but others make it to signify the mountain of the gospel, or the mountain of apples, or fruits; but the first etymology in this place seems best. The word doth not signify any particular place; but here is an allusion, as some think, to that Megiddo, mentioned Judges... 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

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 16:1-21

Revelation 16:1 . Pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. The catastrophes of nations have their origin in heaven. “Oh Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff of my indignation. I will send him against a hypocritical nation Howbeit, he meaneth it not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and cut off nations not a few.” Isaiah 10:5-7. Revelation 16:2 . The first angel went, and poured out his vial on the earth; and there fell a... read more

Revelation 16:10-11The fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast.Punishment concentrated upon the sinner1 As we see in the plagues of Egypt, so we see here, that the Lord begins farther off at first, to wit, at the earth, waters, and sun, before He comes nearer to the throne or seat of the beast; which should teach men, before God come near them with His plagues or punishments, to draw near to God by true and timely repentance.2. The wonted glory and lustre that the beast’s... read more
