Revelation 6:15

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Revelation 6:1-99

Revelation 6 CHAPTER 6 GIVES US the opening of the seals. Judgment dealings with the earth begin. The words, “and see” in verses Rev_6:1 , Rev_6:3 , Rev_6:5 , Rev_6:7 , are doubtful, and the “Come,” uttered by the four living creatures, seems to be a call to the respective riders to come forth. The living creatures speak with a voice like thunder, which befits a call, which has governmental justice and judgment as its object. One after the other there appear four riders, mounted on horses,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Revelation 6:12-17

The opening of the sixth seal: v. 12. And I beheld when He had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; v. 13. and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig-tree casteth her untimely figs when she is shaken of a mighty wind. v. 14. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. v. 15. And the kings... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Revelation 6:9-17

“The Wrath of the Lamb” Revelation 6:9-17 This imagery is very majestic; but we cannot really think that the holy martyrs desire to be revenged, except in love and grace. That their persecutors should be forgiven in Pentecosts of revival must be the highest conception of vengeance that they permit themselves to have. The striking command that they should rest, each enclothed in a white robe of acceptance and purity, until the full roll of martyrs is complete, suggests that every age must... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Revelation 6:1-17

We now pass to that section of the Book in which, under the heavenly order by earthly administration, events proceed toward the great consummation. The Lamb, holding the book, breaks the seals. The apostle heard the voice of one crying, "Come," and he beheld one who symbolized kingliness and goes "forth conquering, and to conquer." This is the Antichrist, Satan's most complete counterfeit of the Christ Himself. The breaking of the second seal reveals the issue of the reign of Antichrist, war... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Revelation 6:1-17

The Opening of the Seals Revelation 6:1-17 INTRODUCTORY WORDS This study will discover unto us those events which will particularly mark the beginning of sorrows. There are four horse riders to be brought out, as the first four seals of the book are opened. The rider on the white horse Is the antichrist; the rider on the red horse is war; the rider on the black horse is famine; the rider on the pale horse is pestilence. We wish merely to show that the breaking of the seals is indeed the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 6:1-17

Chapter 6 The Opening of the First Six Seals. The next stage of John’s vision describes the opening of the seals by the Lamb, and it will soon be clear that the result is the outworking of world history. It is the beginning of the end! However we know that it will take two thousand years and more to come to completion. But that was not apparent then. The passage has many parallels with the apocalyptic discourse of Jesus in Mark 13:0, Matthew 24:0 and Luke 21:0, and is mainly based on that... read more

And the heaven was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and every island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the chief captains, and the rich and the... read more

‘And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the chief captains, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains. And they say to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. For the great day of His wrath has come, and who shall be able to stand?”.’ Here we do have the culmination of world history. When the third horseman rode... read more
