Verse 14
14. Heaven departed as a scroll Compare our notes on the passing “away with a great noise,” of 2 Peter 3:10; and also on “the earth and the heaven fled away,” of Revelation 20:11. These parallels prove the identity of this dissolution with that of those two passages, as well as with that of Matthew 24:29. This identity of the three is conclusive against a pre-millennial advent.
A scroll A sheet of parchment, papyrus, or paper, loosely crumpled and vanishing away. To the eye of the spectator, in this scene of rocking terrene convulsion, the apparent sky of clouds and firmament will seem to crumple and rush away.
Mountain… island… moved As seen from a bird’s-eye view, the prominent geographical points will appear to change their places.
