John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 11:9

And they of the people, and kindreds, and tongues, and nations ,.... These are either the enemies of the witnesses, who consisted of the people, kindred, tongues, and nations, out from among whom they were chosen, redeemed, and called; and before or against whom John, representing these witnesses, prophesied; and over whom the Romish antichrist sits and rules, Revelation 5:9 ; or else their friends, either real or pretended; since it is not said "the people", nor "all the people, kindred,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 11:10

And they that dwell upon the earth ,.... Out of which the beast arose, and over which he reigns, even the inhabitants of the Roman empire, often in this book called the earth, the followers of antichrist, men that mind nothing but earth, and earthly things: shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another ; as is usual with persons, and was with the Jews, to do in times of public rejoicing; see Esther 9:18 . Because these two prophets tormented them that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 11:11

And after three days and a half ,.... When it was certain they were dead, and all hope of reviving was over; see John 11:39 ; that is, three years and a half: the spirit of life from God entered into them ; this phrase is expressive of a resurrection the Jews frequently call the general resurrection תחייה , "a quickening", and have the very phrase here used; for, speaking of the resurrection, they say F21 Zohar in Gen. fol. 79. 3. , רוחא דחיי , "the spirit of life" does not... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 11:12

And they heard a great voice from heaven ,.... The Complutensian edition reads, "I heard", i.e. "John"; and so the Syriac and Arabic versions; but the copies in general read "they"; not the enemies, but the witnesses: and this seems not to come from any Christian civil magistrate in the church, but from Christ himself; not but that Christ may make use of, such for the bringing of his people into a more glorious and comfortable state in this world: saying unto them, come up hither ; as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 11:13

And the same hour was there a great earthquake ,.... Or the same day, as the Complutensian edition, and some copies, read; that is, at the time of the resurrection and ascension of the witnesses, as there was at the resurrection of Christ; and is to be understood of a very great commotion in the civil affairs of kingdoms and nations within the Roman jurisdiction, as there was when Rome Pagan was near its ruin, Revelation 6:12 . And the tenth part of the city fell . Mr. Daubuz... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 11:14

The second woe is past ,.... Not in John's time, only in a visionary way; the meaning is, that the second woe trumpet, which is the sixth, will now have done sounding, when the four angels, bound in the river Euphrates, shall have been loosed, and they, with their horsemen, shall have done what they were designed to do; when the two witnesses shall have been slain, and are raised again, and ascended to heaven; and the things attending, or following thereon, as the earthquake, and slaughter,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 11:15

And the seventh angel sounded ,.... The last of the seven angels, who had trumpets given them to sound, Revelation 8:2 . The days of the voice of this angel, as in Revelation 10:7 , cannot refer to the times of Constantine; for though there was then a strange turn of affairs in favour of the kingdom of Christ, when there was a great spread of the Gospel, and large conversions in many places, and many churches were raised and formed in several countries, and the whole empire became... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 11:16

And the four and twenty elders ,.... The same with those in Revelation 4:4 ; which sat before God on their seats ; as they are also there described; and which may be expressive of their enjoyment of the divine Presence; and also of their quiet and undisturbed situation, being restored to their former places, which they now possess without molestation and interruption; for as these are the representatives of Gospel churches in all ages, they were with the church in the wilderness during... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 11:17

Saying, we give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty ,.... The person addressed is the Lord Jesus Christ, whose the kingdoms are become, and who now reigns in great power and authority; he is Lord of all, and truly and properly God, and the Almighty, as his works of creation, preservation, redemption, raising himself from the dead, &c.; declare; and each of these titles exceedingly well suit him, when his visible kingdom on earth will be so greatly enlarged: which art, and wast, and art... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 11:18

And the nations were angry ,.... See Psalm 99:1 , which the Septuagint render, the "Lord reigns, let the nations be angry". This refers not to the times of the dragon, or the Pagan Roman emperors, who were wroth with the woman, the church, and made war with her seed; but Rome Papal, and its Gentiles, are intended; these are the nations that antichrist reigns over: and it does not so much design their anger against Christ, and his people, expressed by their anathemas, excommunications,... read more
