Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 20:1-3

III. THIRD AND LAST OVERTHROW OF THE ARMIES OF ANTICHRIST, Revelation 19:11 to Revelation 20:3. This last sublime victory is now to be achieved. The capital of antichrist was taken, 14-16; his harlot was destroyed, xvii; and now comes the final destruction of all the forces and champions opposed to truth and righteousness, preparatory to the introduction of the universal reign of holy peace. That these three great successive phases of historical progress evolve through centuries, is required... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 20:1-10

IV. THE SEVEN TRUMPETS, Revelation 7:1 to Revelation 20:10. Of the trumpets, the first four are mundane, or earthly; each of the four blasts draws down a judgment upon some creational point, as earth, sea, fountains and rivers; firmamental luminaries. It is the sins of men that draw down these bolts of wrath, rendering every point of creation hostile to our peace. “Cursed is the ground for thy sake,” (Genesis 3:17,) is the key-note. This sad status of humanity has existed through all past... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 20:2

2. Laid hold on Doubtless a true restraining force on the very person of Satan. Dragon… Satan Same accumulation of epithets to identify the world’s great villain as in Revelation 12:9. Bound him A release of men from all demoniac temptation or instigation. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 20:3

3. Bottomless pit See note on Revelation 9:1. Why are the beast and false prophet (Revelation 19:20) said to be cast into the lake of fire, the final doom of all the wicked, and Satan only into the “bottomless pit?” The reason we would suggest is this: The former two are not real personages, but only principles or organisms which arise in human history, (really originating from that bottomless pit, see notes on chap. ix,) and so are consigned to their finality; whereas, the latter is a... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 20:4

RESULT OF OVERTHROWS THE THOUSAND-YEAR REPOSE OF VICTORY AND REIGN THE MILLENNIUM, Revelation 20:4-6. 4. I saw thrones An inauguration of a new and better regimen over the world. The infernals being cast out, the celestials, with benign influences, are crowned as kings. Where John saw the thrones he does not say; but, apparently, they should be in the firmamental heaven, where once (chap. xii) the dragon reigned. And this would represent the place of spiritual natures. Notes on... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 20:5

5. The rest of the dead The rest are those who live not in this first resurrection life. Lived not again The word again must be stricken out as a false reading. It is unquestionably spurious. We have then only the rest of the dead lived not. This The Greek for this grammatically agrees with resurrection. So that, literally, we have: this (resurrection) is the first resurrection. Or, (as Alford,) making this the predicate, the first resurrection is this (resurrection.) In... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 20:6

6. Our seer now specifies the nature of the life of this first resurrection. Over that high and unique vitality the second death hath no power. By the first resurrection we are raised from beneath the power of the second death to above the power of the second death. This is initiated at our earthly regeneration, but it is not completed until the glorification of our spirits. Our souls pass through as true and literal a resurrection as our bodies; and it is by that resurrection of our ... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 20:7

The new rebellion of Satan closed by his destruction, Revelation 20:7-10. 7. Are expired It is interesting to note how the seer bridges us over the period of the thousand years in less than an hour. His own position remains the same as in Revelation 19:4, in presence of the royal state of Revelation 4:11. In describing the millennium, he repeatedly changes the tense; sometimes predicting in the future, and sometimes describing or narrating as in the past. Shall be Will be; the simple... read more
