Revelation 14:10-11 NIV

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 14:10

The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; he also … which is mingled unmixed ( i.e. undiluted) in the cup of his anger (Revised Version). The warning is given to men while there is yet time; the fall of Babylon, which is prophetically spoken of as having taken place ( Revelation 14:8 ), being yet in the future; that is to say, at the end of the world. The language in which the retribution is couched... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 14:11

And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever. Compare the wording of the passages quoted above on Revelation 14:10 , especially Isaiah 34:9 , Isaiah 34:10 , "The smoke thereof shall go up forever." This statement of the eternity of punishment is also in agreement with Luke 16:26 and Mark 9:44 . And they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. "No rest," in contrast with the blessed rest of the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 14:10

The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God - See notes on Revelation 14:8. The “wine of the wrath of God” is the cup in the hand of the Lord, which, when drunk, makes them reel and fall. The image would seem to have been taken from the act of holding out a cup of poison to a condemned man that he might drink and die. See the sentiment here expressed illustrated in the notes on Isaiah 51:17.Which is poured out without mixture - Without being diluted with water - that is, in its full... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 14:11

And the smoke of their torment - The smoke proceeding from their place of torment. This language is probably derived from the account of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Genesis 19:28; “And he (Abraham) looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.” The destruction of these cities is regarded as an emblem of the destruction of the wicked, and the smoke that ascended from them as a... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 14:9-12

Revelation 14:9-12 . And the third angel followed At no great distance of time; saying As the two former had done; with a loud voice With authority and earnestness; If any man worship the beast, &c. The commission of this angel reaches further than that of the preceding; it extends not only to the capital city, not only to the principal agents and promoters of idolatry, but to all the subjects of the beast, whom it consigns over to everlasting punishment. If any man worship the... 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

he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:This verse is a counter-proclamation to that of the beast in Revelation 13, to the effect that those who would not worship the beast should be killed (Revelation 13:15), and that they would not be permitted to "buy or sell" (Revelation 13:17). Here an angel of God proclaims... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 14:11

and the smoke of their torment goeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name.The doctrine of the New Testament is so strong and emphatic with regard to the eternal punishment of the wicked, that we are simply not allowed to set it aside as, "sub-Christian, or to interpret it in such a way as to remove the abrasive truth of eternal punishment."[54] Jesus spoke of this at greater length than did... read more
