Revelation 15:3-4 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Revelation 15:1-4

Here we have the preparation of matters for the pouring out of the seven vials, which was committed to seven angels; and observe how these angels appeared to the apostle?in heaven; it was in a wonderful manner, and that upon account, 1. Of the work they had to do, which was to finish the destruction of antichrist. God was now about to pour out his seven last plagues upon that interest; and, as the measure of Babylon's sins was filled up, they should now find the full measure of his vindictive... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Revelation 15:3-4

15:3-4 And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: Great and wonderful are your works, O Lord, God the Almighty; Just and true are your ways, King of the nations. Who shall not fear and glorify your name, O Lord? Because you alone are holy; Because all the nations will come and worship before you; Because your righteous judgments have been made plain for all to see. The victorious martyrs sing two songs. They sing the song of the Lamb which, as we... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 15:3

And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God ,.... Not that in Deuteronomy 32:1 but that in Exodus 15:1 and the sense is, either that they observed the law of Moses, which he as a servant in the Lord's house faithfully delivered, and kept it distinct from the Gospel, and did not blend them together, as in the times before; or rather, that they sung a song like that of Moses, and on a like occasion. Pharaoh was the very picture of the pope of Rome; his oppression and cruel usage of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 15:4

Who shall not fear thee, O Lord ,.... At this time the people of the Jews shall seek after Christ, and fear him and his goodness; the forces of the Gentiles shall be brought into Zion, whose heart shall then fear, and be enlarged; the fear of the Lord will be in all places, and in all men, both Jews and Gentiles, Hosea 3:5 and glorify thy name ? by ascribing all divine perfections to him, giving him divine worship and adoration, and attributing the whole of salvation to him, and the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 15:3

They sing the song of Moses - That which Moses sang, Exodus 15:1 , when he and the Israelites, by the miraculous power of God, had got safely through the Red Sea, and saw their enemies all destroyed. And the song of the Lamb - The same song adapted to the state of the suffering, but now delivered Christians. Great and marvellous are thy works - God's works are descriptive of his infinite power and wisdom. Lord God Almighty - Nearly the same as Jehovah, God of hosts. Just and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 15:4

Who shall not fear thee - That is, All should fear and worship this true God, because he is just and true and holy; and his saints should love and obey him, because he is their King; and they and all men should acknowledge his judgments, because they are made manifest. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 15:1-4

The song of the redeemed. A further vision is permitted—"another sign"—with which the faithful but tried ones are to be cheered. The vision, as a whole, is "great and marvellous." It reaches to the end of the eighteenth chapter. "Seven angels" have "seven plagues"—"the last, for in them is finished the wrath of God." With these solemn words the announcement of the coming judgments—the final ones—is prefaced. As before, the hearts of the faithful are comforted and assured by a vision of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 15:1-4

Divine severity and human heroism. "And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast," etc. This fragment of John's vision, or dream, brings under our attention and serves to illustrate two subjects: I. DIVINE SEVERITY . "And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 15:1-8

The victors' song. The visions of this book are drawing to a close. Those immediately before us are meant to indicate the last judgments which must fall on the world, ere out of the ruin and from it there shall emerge the new heavens and the new earth. But another break in the gloom is permitted to us here. The apostle casts his eyes, not downward, but upward. He beholds two groups of beings in the upper realm. The first is composed of seven angels who have seven plagues, which are the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 15:1-8

"The wrath of God." Such is the subject of this and the following chapters. I. WHAT IS IT ? "The wrath of God" is simply that will of God which forever has linked together sin and suffering; that will by which woe follows wickedness everywhere and always. It is calm, not passionate; inexorable, not capricious; ever just, as man's wrath too often is not; and never selfish, is ours too often is. II. IS TERRIBLE TO EVIL DOERS . See the several symbols of it as they are... read more
