Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 11:11

And after three days and an half; after that short time which God had determined for antichrist, (just before his time should be expired), or after the precise time of forty-two months, or three years and a half, was expired, when the Gentiles thought they had fully prevailed, and should be no more troubled with Christ’s witnesses. The Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; God, who alone can quicken the dead, reviveth them, and restoreth them again to their... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 11:12

And they, that is, the two witnesses, so often before spoken of, heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither; heard God by a singular providence calling them again to their former work and station in his church; or (as some) to a higher and more famous place in his church than they formerly enjoyed; for by heaven the most and best interpreters understand the church, as it often signifies in this book. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them;... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 11:13

And the same hour; that is, about the same time, when the Spirit of life from God entered into the witnesses, and they were again restored. Was there a great earthquake; by earthquake doubtless is here meant a great confusion in the world, and shaking of nations by differences one with another, and wars: See Poole on "Revelation 6:12". And the tenth part of the city fell; by the city is doubtless meant the great city before named, spiritually called Sodom and Egypt; elsewhere, Babylon; by which... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Revelation 11:1-19

THE FATE OF JERUSALEM AND ITS TEMPLECRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESTHE paragraph, Revelation 11:1-13, gives the contents of the “little book,” which are in part joyful and in part bitter. The marking off of a portion of the temple answers to the sealing of the hundred and forty-four thousand in chap. 7. Here there is a symbolical reserve of a portion of the temple from impending evils, as there a reserve of an elect portion of God’s people. “Just as those were sealed to mark them for ever as the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Revelation 11:1-19

Chapter 11So there was given unto me a reed like unto a rod ( Revelation 10:11 ; Revelation 11:1 ):That is a measuring stick about the length of a rod.and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those that worship therein ( Revelation 11:1 ).Now, this tells us many things. First of all, that the temple is to be rebuilt, because this is a yet future event. In fact, this is a event that takes place during the midst of the tribulation period, for we have... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 11:1-19

Revelation 11:1 . There was given me a reed like unto a rod to measure the temple of God, the new-testament church. The prophet of old had a similar vision, and all the prophets spake of the enlargement of Christ’s kingdom. Ezekiel 40:2-5. Micah 4:1-2. John also was to measure the altar which stood in the inner court; and the altar here is figuratively understood, as in the epistles of Ignatius, who considered a separation from the altar as an exclusion from the church. The altar is a... read more

Revelation 11:1-19Rise, and measure the temple of God.The living temple of Christ’s Church and the two witnesses of the Word written and the sacramentsThe temple and altar, and them that worshipped therein, were capable of measurement. They were not like the unorganised multitude, formless, creedless, undisciplined, without the court. The temple, the altar, and its priesthood and the worshippers, have strength of form and organisation, and the beauty of order. So the apostles organise the... read more

Revelation 11:12A great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither.The voice from heavenI. We shall regard it, first, As a summons sent at the appointed hour to every saint. When the time shall come, fixed by irreversible decree, there shall be heard “a great voice from heaven” to every believer in Christ, saying, “Come up hither.”1. This should be to us--each one of us, if we be in Christ--the subject of very joyful anticipation. To some Christians it will be not only joyful in... read more

Revelation 11:13And the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.The judgments of God1. The judgments of God’s mouth, and the judgments of God’s hand--the word and the work of God--the manifestation of His truth by verbal announcement, and the manifestation of His truth by providential dispensation, are alike efficacious, through the Divine blessing, to the conversion of the souls of men. “The remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.”2.
