ヨハネの黙示録 11:4-5 JC

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Revelation 11:5

(5) And if any man . . .—Better, And if any one wills to injure them, fire goeth forth out of their mouths, and devoureth their enemies: and if any one wills to injure them, thus must he be slain. These have power to shut the heaven that the rain may not moisten (the earth) during the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague as often as they will. Again the Old Testament basis becomes evident; the histories... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Revelation 11:1-19

Revelation 11:7 Lord, I read of the two witnesses, 'and when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them and shall overcome them and kill them'. They could not be killed whilst they were doing, but when they had done their work; during their employment they were invincible. No better armour against the darts of death than to be busied in Thy service. Thomas Fuller. The City: Its Sin and Saviour Revelation 11:8 The... read more

CHAPTER VIII.SECOND CONSOLATORY VISION AND THE SEVENTH TRUMPET.Revelation 11:1-19.FROM the first consolatory vision we proceed to the second: -"And there was given unto me a reed like unto a rod: and one said, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. And the court which is without the temple cast without, and measure it not; for it hath been given unto the nations: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months (Revelation 11:1-2)."... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Revelation 11:1-18

CHAPTER 11:1-18 Revelation 11:1-2 . We see at once how Jewish things come now into view. To apply these verses to the Church and make the temple the Church is absolutely wrong. The temple and the altar are Jewish; the holy city is Jerusalem. After the Church has left the earth the Jewish people will be fully restored to their own land, and their land restored to them. They will possess Jerusalem once more. When the Jews are once more masters in their own promised land they will erect another... read more

11:4 These {8} are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.(8) That is, the ordinary and perpetual instruments of spiritual grace, peace and light in my Church, which God by his only power preserved in this Temple. See Zechariah 4:3 . read more

Geneva Study Bible - Revelation 11:5

11:5 {9} And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.(9) The power and surety of the holy ministry, which is truly evangelical, is declared both in earth and in heaven, protecting the administers of it, and destroying its enemies, in this verse, divine power, most mightily showing itself forth in heaven, earth and the sea in Revelation 11:6 as it is described in 2 Corinthians 10:4... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 11:1-19

We have seen under the sixth trumpet the desolating invasion of Israel by the King of the North, which takes place because of Israel's idolatrous image of the Beast set up in the temple at the middle of Daniel's seventieth week. Revelation 11:1 to Revelation 13:18 therefore deals with conditions in the last half of this seven year period, designated in scripture as "the Great Tribulation." John is given a reed like a rod and told by the Angel (the Lord) to measure the temple, the altar and... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Revelation 11:1-19

THE SEVEN TRUMPETS We have here another illustration of the law of recurrence, for in these chapters we are going over the ground of the last, though certain features are being added which were not then revealed. In other words, it is still the Tribulation Period. INTRODUCTION (Revelation 8:2-5 ) In the previous lesson the Introduction included the vision of “The Throne, the Lamb and the Book,” while here it is the revelation of the angel and the incense. There is no satisfactory... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Revelation 11:3-6

(3) And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. (4) These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. (5) And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. (6) These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have... read more
