The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 16:9

The hardened heart. "They repented not to give him glory." This impenitence is told of in Revelation 9:20 , and in this chapter again at Revelation 9:11 and Revelation 9:21 . This repeated reference is designed to, as it well may, impress our minds with a fact at once so sinful, so solemn, and so sad. For such impenitence is— I. A VERY CERTAIN FACT . The late Mr. Kingsley, in his book, 'The Roman and the Teuton,' draws out at length the evidence both of the horrible... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 16:10

And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast. Omit "angel" as before (see on Revelation 16:8 ). The throne of the beast. That throne which had been given to him by the dragon ( Revelation 13:2 ), and which here typifies the centre and source of his power. While this throne may aptly refer to the Roman empire in St. John's time, its position varies at different times; wherever the world power is worshipped, there the beast has his throne. And his kingdom was... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 16:9

And men were scorched with great heat - That is, as above expressed, calamity came upon them which would be well represented by such heat. It is said that this calamity would come upon people, and we are to suppose that it would be such that human life would be particularly affected; and as that heat of the sun must be exceedingly intense which would cut down people, we are to suppose that the judgment here referred to would be intensely severe.And blasphemed the name of God - The effect would... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 16:10

And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast - The previous judgments had been preparatory to this. They all had a bearing on this, and were all preliminary to it; but the “seat” - the home, the center of the power of the beast - had not yet been reached. Here, however, there was a direct blow aimed at that power, still not such yet as to secure its final overthrow, for that is reserved for the pouring out of the last vial, Revelation 16:17-21. All that is represented here... read more

Revelation 16:8-9. And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun Namely, of the Papal kingdom; and power was given unto him Unto the angel; to scorch men with fire Alluding to the heat of the sun, namely, the men who had the mark of the beast. And they were scorched with great heat; nevertheless, they repented not to give glory to God, who had power over these plagues; but blasphemed his name the more “Now as this vial,” says Fleming, “must begin where the other... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 16:10-11

Revelation 16:10-11. And the fifth angel poured out his vial on the seat, or throne, of the beast The reader will recollect that mention has been made of two beasts, (see Revelation 13:1; Revelation 13:11,) the secular and the ecclesiastical; and, as Mr. Faber observes, “it might be doubted which of the two was here intended, were we not assisted in our inquiries by the general context of the whole prophecy. Whenever the beast is simply mentioned, by way of eminence, as it were, it... read more

Donald C. Fleming

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 16:9

And men were scorched with great heat: and they blasphemed the name of God who hath power over these plagues; and they repented not to give him glory.And they were scorched with great heat ... The wars, revolutions, social unrest, bitterness and frustrations of our present times may only be a token of what is indicated by this. The less true light possessed by people from the word of God, the more they are scorched and burned by the fires of evil.They blasphemed ... they repented not ... Eller... read more
