The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Revelation 14:8-12

Of this effect and result of the Reformation and of the fall of spiritual Babylon the next angels made announcement: v. 8. And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. v. 9. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, if any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand, v. 10. the same shall drink of the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Revelation 14:9-20

The Winepress of God’s Wrath Revelation 14:9-20 We cannot understand the torment of those who are depicted in Revelation 14:9-12 , except it be the remorse at having refused the love of the Lamb of God. Even Christ Himself cannot save a soul from its self-condemnation. Note the emphasis of Revelation 14:13 . The voice which pronounces the blessedness of the departed is from heaven . The emphasis is on the word henceforth . There is no pause in their onward progress, no dim and shadowy... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Revelation 14:1-20

The attention of the seer was now turned again to the heavenly order. The redeemed are seen standing with the Lamb, a company of obedient souls who follow Him "whithersoever He goeth." In distinction from the seventh angel who had sounded the trumpet John now refers to "another angel." At this point the unfallen angels are described as exercising a remarkable ministry on earth. The first of them proclaims eternal good tidings. Yet another proclaims the fall of Babylon. The Gospel calling men... read more

Mercy and Punishment Revelation 14:1-20 , Revelation 15:1-8 , Revelation 16:1-21 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As we open our study on three chapters in Revelation, we find various scenes in chapter fourteen which we wish to present, by way of introduction. 1. We have one hundred and forty-four thousand redeemed from the earth. The chapter opens with the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, with Him were the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 14:12-13

A Reminder of the Blessedness of the People of God. ‘Here is the patient endurance of the saints, they who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice behind me saying, Write, blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth. Yes, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours, for their works follow with them.’ What has just been described enables the people of God to endure patiently under great tribulation. Their awareness of what is to be, gives... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 14:6-12

Revelation 14:6-2 Kings : . The Vision of the Three Angels. Revelation 14:6 . an eternal gospel: it is doubtful whether gospel is here used in its technical sense. It probably means a proclamation of good news. The proclamation here is one which urges men to fear and worship God in view of the coming judgment ( cf. Mark 1:15). Revelation 14:8 . Babylon: there can be no doubt that Babylon here means Rome. There are traces in other apocalyptic literature of the same usage of the word.—... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 14:12

Here is the patience of the saints: God having in the former chapter shown his servant John the reign and rage of antichrist in his time of forty-two months, and in this chapter what shall be the end of him and all his adherents; here concludeth with telling him: This is a period of time wherein the patience of his holy ones will be tried, both in waiting for their deliverance, and also in their patient enduring antichrist’s oppression and tyranny. Here are they that keep the commandments of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Revelation 14:1-12

THE VISION OF THE FAITHFUL SERVANTS OF GODCRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESTHAT we may be assured of the safety of God’s faithful ones, even during the time of the triumph of the beast and false prophet, we are shown the sealed ones all secure and in the charge of the Lamb; and we are further assured that seven angels are ministering to the protection and comfort of the imperilled saints. The angel of good news (Revelation 14:6-7); the angel proclaiming the doom of the great world city (Revelation... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Revelation 14:12

Revelation 14:12 There are mainly three conditions required in order to the attainment of the grace of patience. I. Learn to look on all trying circumstances from the true point of view. The first and most natural view of them is that they destroy our ease. The sense of injury or annoyance, the soreness at the unkindness or disappointment this occupies us, and the one longing is that the cause of pain may be removed, that at any cost we may be freed from the unwelcome pressure. Thence arises... read more
