Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 14:13

Revelation 14:13. And I heard a voice from heaven This is most seasonably heard when the beast is in his highest power and fury; saying unto me, Write He was at first commanded to write the whole book. Whenever this is repeated, it denotes something peculiarly observable. Blessed Μακαριοι , happy, are the dead which die in the Lord In the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ; and, in consequence of that faith, in a state of vital union with him, he being thereby made of God unto them... 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 14:13

And I heard a voice from heaven saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.This is one of the great doctrinal pronouncements of the whole New Testament. It declares "blessed are those who meet death in spiritual union with Jesus Christ."[58] "Manifestly, all this applies to all who die in the Lord."[59] There is not another verse in the whole New Testament that any more... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 14:9-13

Revelation 14:9-13. The third angel, &c.— Not only the capital city, not only the principal agents and promoters of idolatry shall be destroyed; the commission of the third angel proceeds farther, and extends to all the subjects of the beast whom he consigns over to everlasting punishment. If any man worship the beast, and his image, and receive his mark, &c. (Revelation 14:9.) if any man embrace and profess the religion of the beast, or, what is the same, the religion of the Pope, the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 14:13

13. Encouragement to cheer those persecuted under the beast. Write—to put it on record for ever. Blessed—in resting from their toils, and, in the case of the saints just before alluded to as persecuted by the beast, in resting from persecutions. Their full blessedness is now "from henceforth," that is, FROM THIS TIME, when the judgment on the beast and the harvest gatherings of the elect are imminent. The time so earnestly longed for by former martyrs is now all but come; the full number of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 14:6-13

Four climactic announcements 14:6-13"And I saw" (Gr. kai eidon) signals another scene of this vision on earth. In this one John heard four announcements that provide incentives for remaining faithful to God and resisting the beasts. Angels made the first three announcements, and a voice from heaven gave the fourth. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 14:13

The blessedness of those who die in Christ 14:13This "voice" was probably the Lamb’s (Revelation 1:10-11; Revelation 1:19; cf. Revelation 10:4; Revelation 10:8; Revelation 11:12; Revelation 14:2; Revelation 18:4; Revelation 21:3). The voice told John to record that it would be a blessing for the believers who live during the Great Tribulation to die as martyrs. They will receive a unique blessing reserved for no one else. [Note: Moffatt, 5:439; Robertson, 6:413.] This is the second of seven... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 14:1-20

The Lamb and His Followers. Judgment on His EnemiesIn the last two chapters were seen the enemies of the Church, and their fierce power. Now, by way of contrast, and to encourage the Church to resist her enemies with complete certainty of victory, pictures are shown of the blessedness of those who witness a true confession for Christ, and of God’s judgment on the ungodly.1-5. The Lamb (cp. Revelation 5:6, etc.) is seen on Mount Zion, i.e. the true and heavenly home of the Church: cp. Hebrews... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Revelation 14:13

(13)And I heard a voice . . .—Translate, And I heard a voice out of the heaven, saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth; Yea, saith the Spirit, in that they shall rest from their labours; for their works follow with them. We are not told whose voice speaks, but it proclaims a blessing on (not only martyrs, but) those who die in the Lord, in happy union and fellowship with Him (John 15:2-5; 1 John 1:3); such are happy, for they rest from toil, and their works of... read more
