Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 9:13-14

‘And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, one saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “loose the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates”.’ The voice comes from the horns of the golden altar.

The altar is ‘before God’, where... read more

That is, from God, I heard him give a command, which voice is said to have proceeded from the golden altar, ( in allusion to Exodus 30:3), because there God received the prayers of his people; and this voice proceeding from that place, might signify the following judgment to come, in answer to the prayer’s of his servants’ souls from thence crying to him for vengeance.

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESRevelation 9:13. Sixth angel sounded.—This woe is an invasion of foreign nations coming out of the East, and causing everywhere ruin and disaster.Revelation 9:14. Loose the four angels.—These are the angels of invasion. No actual reference to the Euphrates must be sought for, but what the Euphrates symbolises. Rivers do not actually hind angels.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Revelation 9:1-21

Chapter 9And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the eaRuth ( Revelation 9:1 ):And it is interesting how that a great mountain of fire burning, a star falling, a star falling, these are like fallen stars. That is why I relate them to perhaps asteroids or meteorites. I could be completely wrong.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 9:1-21

And to him was given the key of the bottomless pit: it should read, the keys of the abyss. This is the tartarus, as in the Greek of 2 Peter 2:4. The Waldenses understood this of papal darkness, and the overflowing of cruel persecution; but more sober wisdom confines it to the Saracen and the Turkish armies and conquests. And there arose a smoke out of the pit, as of... read more

It is evoked by a cry out of the four horns of the altar. It comes from the immediate presence of God, and therefore with the sanction of God.
