Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Revelation 11:13

And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.And there was a great earthquake and the tenth part of the city fell — We have here an unanswerable proof that this city is not Babylon or Rome, but Jerusalem.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 11:1-19

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

12. Great voice from heaven Life from God gave them their resurrection; a voice from God their ascension. Hither Into the presence of God, the highest firmament, the most excellent glory. Note, Revelation 4:11. In a cloud Rather in the cloud, the airy region of vapour and dimness. Enemies beheld them As crowned with divine approbation and rising in triumph to the blessed abodes.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 11:13

13. Earthquake Anticipative image, in miniature, of the overthrow of Babylon, completed at close of chapter 19. Tenth part… seven thousand Says Gebhardt, “A city, the tenth part of which is destroyed by an earthquake which slays 7,000 persons, can only be a real city,” that is, not a symbolical city. But the very exactitude of the round numbers ought to have warned the commentator of numerical symbol.
