The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 14:6-8

The dissemination of good, and the destruction of evil. "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation," etc. In these verses two subjects are suggested— I. THE DISSEMINATION OF GOOD . The good here is called "the everlasting [eternal] gospel" ( Revelation 14:6 ). 1 . The gospel in itself is good. It is at once the mirror and the medium of eternal good. It contains and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 14:6-11

The three angels. The varied scenes in this book are, to us, not so much pictures of events which, when once occurring, exhaust the meaning of the prophecy, but rather representations of what is continuously going on and repeatedly renewing itself—of present day realities, and not merely of passing incident. The passage before us, looked at in this light, is full of most stimulating teaching; full of comfort to those whose faces are set in the right direction, and full of terrific warning... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 14:7

Saying with a loud voice. λέγων , "saying," in nominative, though agreeing with the accusative ἄγγελον ," angel." The "great voice" is characteristic of all the heavenly utterances ( Revelation 14:2 ; Revelation 11:12 , Revelation 11:15 , etc.). Fear God, and give glory to him. Thus the angel proclaims the gospel in opposition to the second beast, who bids those that dwell on the earth to make an image to the first beast (cf. Revelation 13:14 ). Compare the effect of the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 14:6

And I saw another angel - This must, of course, mean a different one from someone mentioned before; but no such angel is referred to in the previous chapters, unless we go back to Revelation 12:7. It is not necessary, however, to suppose that John refers to a particular angel immediately preceding this. In the course of these visions he had seen many angels; and now, accustomed to these visions, he says that he saw “another” one employed in a remarkable embassy, whose message was suited to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 14:7

Saying with a loud voice - As if all the nations were summoned to hear.Fear God - That is, reverence, honor, obey God. Render homage not to the beast, to his image, or to any idol, but to the only true God. This is the substance of the gospel - its end and design - to turn people from all forms of idol worship and superstition, to the worship of the only true God.And give glory to him - To give glory to him is to acknowledge him as the only true God; to set up his pure worship in the heart; and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 14:6-7

Revelation 14:6-7. And As a further motive to Christian patience and constancy, this vision of the happy state of faithful Christians was followed by another; I saw another angel A second is mentioned Revelation 14:8; a third, Revelation 14:9. These denote great messengers of God, with their assistants. The first exhorts to the fear and worship of God, the second proclaims the fall of Babylon, the third gives warning concerning the beast. Happy were they who made a right use of these... 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 14:6

And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven having eternal good tidings to proclaim unto them that dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people;I saw another angel flying in mid heaven ... It is of passing interest that some try to bolster a late first century date of Revelation through the notion that, "Angels begin to fly in the Jewish heaven about the beginning of the first century."[31] A parallel between Revelation 14:13 and Clement of Rome (xlvii) is also... read more
