Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 16:12-16

Revelation 16:12-16. The sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates, &c.— Whether by Euphrates be meant the river so called, or only a mystic Euphrates; and whether by the kings of the East be meant the Jews in particular, or any eastern potentates in general, can be matters only of conjecture, till the event shall make the determination. Whoever they be, they appear to threaten the ruin and destruction of the kingdom of the beast, and therefore of the agents or... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 16:13

13. unclean spirits like frogs—the antitype to the plague of frogs sent on Egypt. The presence of the "unclean spirit" in the land (Palestine) is foretold, :-, in connection with idolatrous prophets. Beginning with infidelity as to Jesus Christ's coming in the flesh, men shall end in the grossest idolatry of the beast, the incarnation of all that is self-deifying and God-opposed in the world powers of all ages; having rejected Him that came in the Father's name, they shall worship one that... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 16:14

14. devils—Greek, "demons." working miracles—Greek, "signs." go forth unto—or "for," that is, to tempt them to the battle with Christ. the kings of the earth and, c.—A, B, Syriac, and ANDREAS omit "of the earth and," which clause is not in any manuscript. Translate, "kings of the whole habitable world," who are "of this world," in contrast to "the kings of (from) the East" (the sun-rising), :-, namely, the saints to whom Christ has appointed a kingdom, and who are "children of light."

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 16:13

Revelation 16:13-16 give further comments on the sixth bowl judgment. They are not an interlude between the sixth and seventh bowls (except Revelation 16:15). They reveal that rulers from all over the earth will join the kings of the East in a final great conflict.The dragon, beast, and false prophet will evidently join in making a proclamation that will mobilize the armies of the world to converge on Palestine. Something proceeding from the mouth suggests a proclamation. This is the first... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 16:14

Here John identified the spirits as demons. The demons go out to the kings of the earth deceiving them to assemble their armies in Palestine for the battle of Armageddon. A deceiving spirit earlier lured King Ahab into battle (1 Kings 22:21-23). They will do this under the influence of Satan, the beast, and the false prophet. The demons persuade them, but their decision is something that God, the ultimate cause, puts in their hearts (Revelation 17:17).It may also be the advancing army from the... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 16:1-21

The Seven BowlsIn the last chapter there was a pause of suspense, during which the angels of the ’plagues’ were seen coming forth from the Presence of God to pour out His wrath. In this chapter the suspense is ended, and the angels pour out God’s wrath into the earth.1-9. The vision of the ’bowls’ (RV) is parallel with that of the ’trumpets’ (Revelation 8 f.). In each vision there are four preparatory judgments, falling upon the earth, the sea, the rivers and fountains, and the sun. But, in the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Revelation 16:13-14

(13, 14) And I saw . . .—Better, And I saw out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the wild beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs. For they are spirits of demons, doing signs, which go forth upon the kings of the whole world, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty. Some have thought that the kings of the East are the representatives of the Christian powers, and that the drying up of the... read more

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
