Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 16:4-7

Revelation 16:4-7. And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers a fountains of waters, &c. Or those territories of the Papacy which were as necessary to it as rivers and fountains are to a country: the kind of plague under this vial being the same as that of the former. For, as the former destroyed the living creatures, or living souls, that were in or upon the sea, namely, the Spaniards, the great mariners of the world at that time, as to their maritime power, who... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 16:1-21

Pouring out the seven bowls (16:1-21)The bowl judgments are similar to the trumpet judgments, only much more severe. The judgments announced by the trumpets affected only one third of the various areas (see 8:7-12), but here the judgments are total and final. The first judgment brings disease on the earth, the second death in the sea, and the third death in the waters on the land (16:1-4). God acts justly by inflicting the persecutors with punishments suited to the evil they have done (5-6).... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 16:5

And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous art thou, who art and who wast, thou Holy One, because thou didst thus judge:And I heard the angel of the waters ... It is probably a mistake to tie this reference in with the extensive angelology of the Jews. What is probably meant is merely the angel who had poured out the bowl of wrath on the waters.Righteous art thou, who art and who wast ... We might have expected the phrase "and who is to come" until it is remembered that this vision... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 16:3-7

Revelation 16:3-7. The second angel poured out his vial, &c.— This vial is poured out upon the sea, and the sea becomes as the blood of a dead man, or as congealed blood; and, in like manner, under the second trumpet, ch. Rev 8:8 the burning mountain was cast into the sea, &c. The third vial (Revelation 16:4.) is poured upon the rivers, &c. and in like manner under the third trumpet, ch. Rev 8:10 the burning star fell upon the rivers, &c. There is a close connection between the... read more

O Lord—omitted by A, B, C, Vulgate, Syriac, Coptic, and ANDREAS. and shalt be—A, B, C, Vulgate, and ANDREAS for this clause read, "(which art and wast) holy."

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 16:5

The "angel of the waters" evidently refers to the angel responsible for the sea and fresh water, the superintendent of God’s water department. Scripture reveals that angels affect the elemental forces of nature (cf. Psalms 104:4; Hebrews 1:7; Revelation 7:1; Revelation 9:11; Revelation 14:18). This angel attributes righteousness to the eternal God for judging in kind (cf. Revelation 15:3-4; Galatians 6:7). The holy and righteous God can judge humanity according to the lex talionis principle... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 16:1-21

The Seven BowlsIn the last chapter there was a pause of suspense, during which the angels of the ’plagues’ were seen coming forth from the Presence of God to pour out His wrath. In this chapter the suspense is ended, and the angels pour out God’s wrath into the earth.1-9. The vision of the ’bowls’ (RV) is parallel with that of the ’trumpets’ (Revelation 8 f.). In each vision there are four preparatory judgments, falling upon the earth, the sea, the rivers and fountains, and the sun. But, in the... read more
