启示录 6:14-16 RCUVSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 6:1-17

The opening of the seals. The Book of Revelation may be said to consist—with the exception of Revelation 2:1-29 and Revelation 3:1-22 —of a vast picture gallery. And this not so much because of the number of the pictures, as their sublimity and extent. Revelation 1:1-20 . is the portraiture of "the Son of man." Then there is a vast canvas, stretching from Revelation 4:1-11 to 11, and representing the judgment and fall of Jerusalem. Then from Revelation 12:1-17 to 19 another... read more

The seven seals; or, the development of good and evil in human history. "And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see," etc. In this chapter we have the breaking open of six of the seals of that mystic roll containing the Divine plan of the government of the world, and as held in the bands of Christ who is the great Expounder. The opening of these seals suggests to our notice and presses on... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 6:12-17

The final judgment of the enemies of the Church. The time of the suffering comes to an end. Evil cannot forever triumph. The Lord reserves his rewards for his faithful ones. Nor can the enemies of truth and righteousness escape. Suffering as the Church was when St. John wrote these wonderful words, an assurance that their wrong should not go unjudged and unavenged was needful to uphold the sinking, fainting, feeble, suffering ones. "Vengeance belongeth unto me: I will recompense, saith... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 6:14

And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and the heaven was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up. The scroll— the parchment book or roll, which is spread out to read, and, when read, roiled up and put away. The passage is apparently founded upon Isaiah 34:4 . "The host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll," etc. And every mountain and island were moved out of their places (cf. Isaiah 40:4 , "Every mountain and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 6:15

And the kings of the earth . The first of the seven classes mentioned. The enumeration is again all extensive, embracing all classes, and men of every degree of social distinction. Bishop Newton is probably not correct in seeing an allusion to particular kings. And the great men; princes (Revised Version). ΄εγιστᾶνες are the grandees, the courtiers, as distinguished from those who are governors and hold military command, and who are subsequently mentioned as the "chief captains.'' ... read more

The wonders of the last day. "And the kings of the earth," etc. The last day, the day of days, will be a day of wonders. The words indicate three of the wonders of that day. I. MEN DREADING THE FACE OF CHRIST . "The face of him that sitteth on the throne." Here are men preferring annihilation to a sight of that face. What is the matter with that face? It was, indeed, the human face Divine, the serenest, the loveliest, the kindliest face ever seen on earth. It was a face... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 6:16

And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face (cf. Hosea 10:8 , "They shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us;" also Luke 23:30 , "Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us ") of him that sitteth on the throne. The Triune God (see on Revelation 4:2 ). And from the wrath of the Lamb. The result of the wroth of the Lamb is depicted in Revelation 21:8 . God's wrath with the wicked is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 6:16

"The wrath of the Lamb." "Hide us from the wrath of the Lamb." Wrath is a terrible thing. But the most terrible of all wrath we have here—the wrath of the Lamb. "Hide us." Who says this? "The kings of the earth, the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man." These men had, no doubt, braved terrible things during their existence, but they could not brave this. It struck an overwhelming horror into their souls. What... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 6:12-17

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal - See the notes at Revelation 5:1; Revelation 6:1.And, lo, there was a great earthquake - Before endeavoring to ascertain to what the sixth seal was designed to refer, it is proper, as in the previous cases, to furnish a particular explanation of the meaning of the symbols. All the symbols represented in the opening of this seal denote consternation, commotion, changes; but still they are all significant, and we are to suppose that something would... read more

And I beheld Further in my vision; when he The Lamb; had opened the sixth seal; and lo! there was a great earthquake Greek, σεισμος μεγας εγενετο , there was a great concussion: for the expression comprehends the shaking of heaven as well as of the earth; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair It lost its usual lustre, and looked black and dark, as in a total eclipse; and the moon became as blood Instead of appearing with its usual brightness in the... read more
