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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 6:12-15

‘And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood, and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind. 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

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 6:1-17

Revelation 6. The Opening of the Seals.— When the seals of the book are opened by the Lamb, a number of woes are let loose upon the world. The first four are described under the figure of horses of different colour, the first white, the second blood-red, the third black, the fourth pale or livid. The best interpretation regards these woes as ( 1 ) triumphant militarism, ( 2 ) slaughter, ( 3 ) famine, ( 4 ) death. The other two woes are described without this metaphor— martyrdom and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 6:12

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal; the sixth of those seals with which the book was sealed, mentioned Revelation 5:1; this signifieth the revelation of some things which should happen in some certain period of time, but what period is the question, as to which interpreters differ. Some think, the time when Jerusalem was taken; but this was a time past twenty-six or twenty-seven years before John was in Patmos, where he had this vision about things that shall be, Revelation 1:1;... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 6:13

This is but another phrase signifying a great change: the whole verse is much the same with Isaiah 34:4. Literally these things were never yet fulfilled. It is a phrase signifying the fall of great and mighty men. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 6:14

Two expressions more signifying the same thing. The first is used by the prophet, to signify the change God would make in the state of the Edomites, Isaiah 34:4, as will appear by comparing what that prophet saith, with what Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Obadiah say, upon the same argument, Jeremiah 49:7-22; Ezekiel 35:1-15. And every mountain and island were moved out of their places; all sorts of people shall be destroyed, or all the paganish religion shall be rooted out. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 6:15

A terror shall fall upon all sorts of men, high and low; and, like men affrighted, they shall seek for themselves hiding places, where they can think themselves most secure: see Isaiah 2:19. read more

CALAMITIES ON THE OPENING OF SIX SEALSCRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESTHE first catastrophe, or overthrow of the Jewish persecuting power, is the subject of chaps. 6–11. Some take the subject in a more general way, as being the relation of Christianity to great universal evils.Revelation 6:1 One.—ἑνός, the first of the living ones. Come and see.—Properly only the word “Come.” This cry is not to the seer, but to the riders, who immediately begin to appear. Some take the invitation as “addressed to... read more
