ヨハネの黙示録 13:16-18 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 13:1-18

The domain of antichrist. "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy," etc. £ Fanciful interpretations of this chapter, as well as other portions of this book, are abundant. The last seems to us not less unfounded and absurd than those that have gone before. Most of such interpretations assume that the comparatively few people who lived in Rome... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 13:11-17

Subtle dangers. The Book of Revelation presents us with a view of the conflict between the varied kingdoms of this world and the undivided kingdom of our God and of his Christ, and it uniformly declares to us this one consolatory truth, that these kingdoms shall become submissive to his kingdom. These kingdoms present themselves in the great world drama as various powers standing more or less in active opposition to the dominion of Christ over the life of men—in opposition to truth, to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 13:16

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads; that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead. δώσῃ , "he may give," found in the Textus Receptus, is unsupported by any uncial; δῶσιν , "they may give," is read in א , A, B, C, P and most cursives have either δῶσιν or δώσωσιν . Wordsworth translates, "give to themselves," and adds, "a remarkable sentence,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 13:17

And that no man might bay or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. "And" is omitted in א , C, some cursives and versions and Fathers: no man should be able to buy, etc. A, B, C, P, and most cursives also omit ἤ , "or," before "the name," thus reading, as in the Revised Version: save he that hath the mark, even the name of the beast, or the number of his name. This expressly asserts what we might have gathered from the analogy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 13:18

Here is wisdom, Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man. The last clause has no article, ἀριθμὸς γὰρ ἀνθρώπου ἐστί . Compare the expression, "Here is the patience," etc. in Revelation 13:10 , where it relates to what precedes. Here it evidently refers to what follows. The form of expression is frequent in St. John's writings (cf. 1 John 2:6 ; 1 John 3:16 , 1 John 3:19 ; 1 John 4:10 , etc.). The plain meaning seems to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 13:16

And he caused all - He claims jurisdiction, in the matters here referred to, over all classes of persons, and compels them to do his will. This is the second beast, and, according to the interpretation given above, it relates to the papal power, and to its claim of universal jurisdiction.Both small and great - All these expressions are designed to denote universality - referring to various divisions into which the human family may be regarded as divided. One of those divisions is into “small... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 13:17

And that no man might buy or sell - That is, this mighty power would claim jurisdiction over the traffic of the world, and endeavor to make it tributary to its own purposes. Compare Revelation 18:11-13, Revelation 18:17-19. This is represented by saying that no one might “buy or sell” except by its permission; and it is clear that where this power exists of determining who may “buy and sell,” there is absolute control over the wealth of the world.Save he that had the mark - To keep it all among... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 13:18

Here is wisdom - That is, in what is stated respecting the name and the number of the name of the beast. The idea is, either that there would be need of special sagacity in determining what the “number” of the “beast” or of his “name” was, or that special “wisdom” was shown by the fact that the number could be thus expressed. The language used in the verse would lead the reader to suppose that the attempt to make out the “number” was not absolutely hopeless, but that the number was so far... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 13:13-17

Revelation 13:13-17. And he doeth great wonders We have seen the greatness of the power and authority of the beast, and we shall now see what course he pursues to establish it. He pretends, like other false prophets, to show great signs and wonders, and even to call for fire from heaven, as Elias did, 2 Kings 1:11-12. His impostures, too, are so successful, that he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth, &c. In this respect he perfectly resembles St. Paul’s man of sin, 2... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 13:18

Revelation 13:18. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast In saying, Here is wisdom, the apostle shows that it is not a vain and ridiculous attempt to search into this mystery, but, on the contrary, that it is recommended to us on divine authority. For it is the number of a man It is a method of numbering practised among men, as the measure of a man ( Rev 21:17 ) is such a measure as men commonly use. It was a practice among the ancients to denote... read more
