啟示錄 14:18-19 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 14:18

And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire. Both in Revelation 6:9 and Revelation 8:3 the altar is connected with judgment. The angel here described is he who is referred to in those places, the fire being the fire of the altar, the fire of judgment ( Revelation 8:3 ), or, less probably; the angel who has power over fire generally (as Revelation 7:1 ; Revelation 16:5 ). And cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying. Again the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 14:19

And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth. This angel is described in quite a different manner from "him who sat on the cloud" ( Revelation 14:16 ). And cast it into the great wine press of the wrath of God; into the wine press, the great [winepress], etc. The feminine substantive has agreeing with it a masculine adjective. It is doubtful whether we ought to see in this anything more than a mere slip of grammar. Possibly the word is of either... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 14:18

And another angel - The sixth in order. He came, like the angel in Revelation 14:15, with a command to him who had the sickle to go forth and execute his commission.Came out from the altar - This stood in the front of the temple (see the notes on Matthew 21:12; compare the notes on Matthew 5:23-24), and was the place where burnt-sacrifices were made. As the work now to be done was a work of destruction, this was an appropriate place in the representation.Which had power over fire - As if he... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 14:19

And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth - That is, into that part of the earth which might be represented by a vineyard; or the earth considered as having been the abode of wicked men.And cast it into the great wine-press of the wrath of God - See Isaiah 63:1-6. That is, the wine-press where the grapes are crushed, and where the juice, resembling blood, flows out, may be used as a symbol to denote the destruction of the wicked in the last day; and as the numbers will be immensely... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 14:17-20

Revelation 14:17-20. And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven As the former had done; he also having a sharp sickle To assist in this execution, and finish the destruction of the enemies of the truth. And another angel, just at that instant, came out from the altar Of burnt-offering, from whence the martyrs had cried for vengeance. Which angel, it is said, had power over fire This, according to Daubuz, is spoken in allusion to the office of that priest who was... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 14:6-20

Angels and the harvest of the earth (14:6-20)Three angels now make proclamations. The first reminds people of the good news of God’s salvation, adding a warning of judgment and urging sinners to repent (6-7). The second announces judgment on Babylon, symbol of ungodly humankind who, in pride and opposition to God, has corrupted the world (8). The third announces judgment on all who have followed the antichrist (9-11).John desires that these visions encourage the Christians to be faithful in... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 14:19

And the angel cast his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and cast it into the winepress, the great winepress, of the wrath of God.And the angel cast his sickle ... It is still Christ's sickle, but as an agent and helper of the Lord the angel appears here.The harvest of the earth is ripe ... See comment on this above, under Revelation 14:15. Wickedness will at last attain its ultimate goal of becoming absolutely intolerable to Almighty God. The heavenly Father has a... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 14:14-20

Revelation 14:14-20. I looked, and behold a white cloud, &c.— As the voices of these three warning angels had not their due effect, the judgments of God will overtake the followers and adherents of the beast; which judgments are represented under the figures of harvest and vintage, figures not unusual in the prophets, and used particularly by Joel, who denounces God's judgments against the enemies of his people in the like terms; Joel 3:13. What particular events are signified by this... read more
