Verse 12
They not existing, or being fled into holes and corners, to rocks and mountains, to hide themselves from the wrath of the Lamb, Revelation 6:15 ,
even them that contended with thee ; or, "the men of thy contention" F16 אנשי מצתיך "viros jurgii tui", Montanus. ; who contended with them, not by words and arguments, but by severe persecutions, striving thereby to hinder the progress of the Gospel, and to root Christianity out of the world:
they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought : or, "the men of thy war" F17 אנשי מלחמתך "viri belli tui", Vatablus; "pugnae tuae", Montanus. ; that proclaimed and carried on war against the Christians, in order to destroy them utterly; yet they, and all their efforts, came to nothing, the Gospel prevailed, and Paganism was utterly abolished; which came to pass in Constantine's time, at the opening of the sixth seal, Revelation 6:12 which is a proper comment on this text.
