Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Revelation 16:1-21

Revelation 16:1 In the thirty-seventh chapter of Shirley, Charlotte Bronte applies this passage to Napoleon's final campaign in Russia, in 1812: 'This summer, Bonaparte is in the saddle: he and his host scour Russian deserts.... He marches on old Moscow: under old Moscow's walls, the rude Cossack waits him. Barbarian stoic! he waits without fear of the boundless ruin rolling on. He puts his trust in a Snow-cloud; the Wilderness, the Wind, and the Hail-storm are his refuge; his allies are the... read more

Revelation 16:1-21 CHAPTER XIITHE SEVEN BOWLS.Revelation 15:1-8; Revelation 16:1-21.NOTHING can more clearly prove that the Revelation of St John is not written upon chronological principles than the scenes to which we are introduced in the fifteenth and sixteenth chapters of the book. We have already been taken to the end. We have seen in chap. 14 the Son of man upon the throne of judgment, the harvest of the righteous, and the vintage of the wicked. Yet we are now met by another series of... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Revelation 16:1-21

CHAPTER 16 Revelation 16:1-2 . The great voice commands the seven angels to go on their way and to empty the bowls upon the earth (Ps. 49:24). And these vials of judgments affect not only the Roman Empire, but the entire world, for the whole world is guilty before God. The first vial poured out produces a grievous sore upon the worshipers of the beast. While it is undoubtedly true that we have symbols also in these vial judgments, it is nevertheless possible that some of these plagues may... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 16:1-21

The First Bowl Poured Out (vv. 1-2) A great voice from the temple now commands the execution of judgment. Grace has been patient; justice has not been hasty, but is to be apportioned out precisely according the measure of guilt. Yet when it comes, it cannot spare: it will be swift, unerring, awesome. The first angel pours out his bowl on the earth with a resulting loathsome and grievous sore upon those who receive the mark of the beast and who worship his image (Revelation 13:15-16). Since... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Revelation 16:1-21

THE SEVEN VIALS The law of recurrence finds a further illustration here for we are still in the Tribulation period, the latter half of Daniel’s seventieth week, and are looking upon the features of that day of judgment. The Introduction includes the whole of chapter 15, being the revelation of the “overcomers” and the seven angels. No one can read this without being struck by its likeness to the song of Moses after Israel’s deliverance from Pharaoh at the Red Sea. (Exodus 15:0 ). The... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Revelation 16:8-9

(8) And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. (9) And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. By the pouring the fourth vial upon the sun, some have thought that the Pope's power is meant to have been thereby eclipsed. Indeed, as all the vials are directed to the overthrow of Antichrist, in every way, and by every direction,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 16:8-11

8-11 The heart of man is so desperately wicked, that the most severe miseries never will bring any to repent, without the special grace of God. Hell itself is filled with blasphemies; and those are ignorant of the history of human nature, of the Bible, and of their own hearts, who do not know that the more men suffer, and the more plainly they see the hand of God in their sufferings, the more furiously they often rage against him. Let sinners now seek repentance from Christ, and the grace of... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Revelation 16:1-99

Revelation 16 AS WE READ chapter 16, we shall notice that these last plagues are very specially God’s answer in judgment to the enormous evil which reaches its climax in the beast and his followers. This is mentioned specifically in verses Rev_16:2 , Rev_16:10 , Rev_16:13 , but it is also inferred, we think, in other details that are mentioned. The first plague will affect the more stable and ordered peoples, the masses of whom will have received the mark of the beast. Upon these God puts His... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Revelation 16:1-21

SPECIAL DOCTRINO-ETHICAL AND HOMILETICAL NOTES (ADDENDUM)Section ThirteenthEarth-picture of the Seven Vials of Anger, or the End-judgment in its general aspect. (Ch. 16.)General.—The special homiletical treatment of this section is, like that of others, made more difficult by the disagreement of exegeses. According to Hengstenberg, for instance, the earth denotes the earthly-minded; the sea, the sea of nations, the unquiet wicked world (in antithesis to the earthly-minded!); the fountains of... read more
