Apocalipsis-16:17-21-nvi

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 16:17-21

Revelation 16:17 . The seventh bowl. The scene of destruction this time is “ the air.” A mighty earthquake and a storm of hail follow, which involve the whole world, and specially Rome, in ruin.— lightnings . . . thunders: so also after the seventh trumpet ( Revelation 11:19).— a great earthquake: earthquakes followed the opening of the sixth and seventh seals ( Revelation 6:12, Revelation 8:5) and the seventh trumpet ( Revelation 11:19), but this earthquake is described as the greatest of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 16:17

And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air: I take this to be best interpreted (as Mr. Mede doth it) by the power of the air, of which Satan is called the prince, Ephesians 2:2, that is, upon all the children of the devil, that had so long given disturbance to the church of Christ. It is done; that is, the work of God is done, his counsels for the destruction of his enemies, and the deliverance of his people, are brought forth in the issue of his providence, not fully yet brought to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 16:18

See Revelation 4:5; Revelation 6:12; Revelation 11:13,Revelation 11:19. Either declarative of the majesty and power of God, {as Exodus 19:16, when God came forth to give his law} the violation of which God here was coming out to punish; or of the great stirs and confusions in that part of the world where the beast’s greatest interest lay. Or, the voices, thunders, and lightnings, may be understood as declarative of the former, and the great earthquake of the latter. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 16:19

The great city; Rome, afterwards called great Babylon in this verse. Was divided into three parts; the pagan part, the evangelical part, and the antichristian part, (saith Dr. More), the three parties that made up the armies that fought in Armageddon: or else this is added as the effect of the great earthquake. And great Babylon came in remembrance, &c.; God now took vengeance on the papacy, and all their adherents, though he had for twelve hundred and sixty years spared them,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 16:20

These are the effects of great earthquakes: see Revelation 6:14. Some, by islands and mountians, understand the inhabitants of both. I know not whether those reverend authors, who by this term understand their idol worship and superstition, or ecclesiastical dignities, (I suppose because the heathens, and Jews, in imitation of them, committed idolatry on mountains and high hills), be not here too critical. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 16:21

The hail was another of the Egyptian plagues, Exodus 9:22-25. The allusion also may be to the hailstones by which God fought against the five Canaanitish kings, Joshua 10:11. It signifies only further great judgments with which God will pursue the beast and his party, until they all be destroyed. The latter words only show the continued hardness of heart of the beast, and all his party; wherein also they answered Pharaoh and the Egyptians, (their type), who would relent with no steadiness and... 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

Sermon Bible Commentary - Revelation 16:17

Revelation 16:17 Satanic Influence. I. We know it to have been a prevalent opinion among the Jews that fallen angels had their residence in the air, filling that region which extends between the earth and the firmament. We can hardly say whence the opinion was derived, nor on what sufficient reasons it can be supported. But when St. Paul calls the devil "the prince of the power of the air," he may be said to favour the opinion and almost to give it the sanction of his authority. It is, however,... read more
