Expositor's Bible Commentary - Revelation 16:1-21

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

16:19 {26} And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations {27} fell: and great {28} Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.(26) The seat or standing place of Antichrist.(27) Of all who cleave to Antichrist and fight against Christ.(28) That harlot, of whom in the next chapter following.

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 16:17-21

(17) And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. (18) And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. (19) And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Revelation 16:19

Great Babylon came in remembrance before God. The time of God's punishing the wicked world is approaching: for by a third interpretation, Babylon may signify metaphorically all the wicked in general. (Witham) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 16:17-21

17-21 The seventh and last angel poured forth his vial, and the downfal of Babylon was finished. The church triumphant in heaven saw it and rejoiced; the church in conflict on earth saw it and became triumphant. God remembered the great and wicked city; though for some time he seemed to have forgotten her idolatry and cruelty. All that was most secure was carried away by the ruin. Men blasphemed: the greatest judgments that can befal men, will not bring to repentance without the grace of God.... read more

Frank Binford Hole

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
