Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 14:6-7

Revelation 14:6-7. And As a further motive to Christian patience and constancy, this vision of the happy state of faithful Christians was followed by another; I saw another angel A second is mentioned Revelation 14:8; a third, Revelation 14:9.

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 14:8

Revelation 14:8. And there followed another angel As the admonitions of the first angel had not the proper effect upon the kingdom of the beast, a second angel is commissioned to proclaim the fall of the capital city, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city By Babylon is meant Rome, including the antichristian kingdom, the papal hierarchy seated there.

Like the first products of harvest, they belong specially to God (4-5; cf. Exodus 23:19). read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 14:6-20

The first reminds people of the good news of God’s salvation, adding a warning of judgment and urging sinners to repent (6-7). The second announces judgment on Babylon, symbol of ungodly humankind who, in pride and opposition to God, has corrupted the world (8). The third announces judgment on all who have followed the antichrist (9-11).John desires that these visions encourage the Christians to be faithful in... read more
