A designation of those mentioned in the Revelation, who, notwithstanding the successive judgements that fall upon them, cling to the earth as settlers there, and against whom 'woe, woe, woe' is pronounced. Revelation 8:13; Revelation 17:2 . During Christ's rejection from the earth God's call has been to heaven, hence to have the character of dwelling on earth is a denial of the heavenly calling. In Revelation 12:12 the Editors omit the words 'inhabiters of.'
