The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Revelation 11:11-14

The passing of the second woe: v. 11. And after three days and an half the Spirit of Life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. v. 12. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. v. 13. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Revelation 11:14-19

“He Shall Reign For Ever and Ever” Revelation 11:14-19 ; Revelation 12:1-6 The kingdom is even now Christ’s, but it is hidden, even as He is. One day it will be manifested. For a long time David was the anointed king of Israel, but Saul sat on the throne until the predestined hour came when the tribes of Israel made David their chosen monarch. This surely is a type of that which will one day become apparent to the whole creation. The kingdom of the world will wholly and permanently become... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Revelation 11:1-19

John is called on to measure the temple. In such measurements the court of the Gentiles is not to be recognized. It shows God dealing with the world through His chosen people. The account of the two witnesses must be taken in connection with the recognition of the temple. Their work will be to tell the will of God to an age in rebellion against Him. No malice is able to accomplish the destruction of these witnesses until their work is ended. When that is done they are slain, and there is the... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Revelation 11:1-19

The Two Witnesses Revelation 10:1-11 and Revelation 11:1-19 INTRODUCTORY WORDS By way of introduction to the study of the eleventh chapter of Revelation we wish to say a word about the tenth chapter. 1. The mighty angel which came down from Heaven. The angel described in Revelation 10:1 came down with a cloud, a rainbow was round about his head; his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire. The angel had in his hand a little book that was open. His right foot was set upon the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 11:1-14

The Measuring of the Sanctuary and the Two Witnesses (Revelation 11:1-14 ). It is significant that these events take place within the second ‘woe’ when wholesale death pervades the Middle East (Revelation 11:14). They describe God’s final plea to both physical Israel and those of the nations in Jerusalem to turn to Him in the final days of the age, a plea which meets with at least partial success. John knows that before the end God will show special concern for His rejected people Israel as... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 11:14

‘The second woe is past. Behold the third woe comes quickly.’ In Revelation 22:7; Revelation 22:12; Revelation 22:20 it is Christ Who ‘comes quickly’, and we find here that the same applies to the third woe. For that final woe for mankind is indeed the arrival of the Judge of all the earth, as Heaven now declares (Revelation 11:18). While it is a joy for the people of God, for those who dwell on earth it is the final woe, and they can only plead to the mountains and the rocks to hide them from... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 11:14

The second woe is past; that is, here endeth the misery that is like to come upon the world in that period of time which shall follow the sounding of the sixth trumpet. And, behold, the third woe cometh quickly: the third woe signifies those calamities which should come in that period of time prophesied of by the sounding of the seventh trumpet; this makes a late learned author think that all that which went before, viz. the Gentiles treading down the outward court, the slaying of the... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Revelation 11:1-19

THE FATE OF JERUSALEM AND ITS TEMPLECRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESTHE paragraph, Revelation 11:1-13, gives the contents of the “little book,” which are in part joyful and in part bitter. The marking off of a portion of the temple answers to the sealing of the hundred and forty-four thousand in chap. 7. Here there is a symbolical reserve of a portion of the temple from impending evils, as there a reserve of an elect portion of God’s people. “Just as those were sealed to mark them for ever as the... read more
