Revelation 1:7
_ _ with clouds — Greek, “the clouds,” namely, of heaven. “A cloud received Him out of their sight” at His ascension (Acts 1:9). His ascension corresponds to the manner of His coming again (Acts 1:11). Clouds are the symbols of wrath to sinners.
_ _ every eye — His coming shall therefore be a personal, visible appearing.
_ _ shall see — It is because they do not now see Him, they will not believe. Contrast John 20:29.
_ _ they also — they in particular; “whosoever.” Primarily, at His pre-millennial advent the Jews, who shall “look upon Him whom they have pierced,” and mourn in repentance, and say, “Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.” Secondarily, and here chiefly, at the general judgment all the ungodly, not only those who actually pierced Him, but those who did so by their sins, shall look with trembling upon Him. John is the only one of the Evangelists who records the piercing of Christ’s side. This allusion identifies him as the author of the Apocalypse. The reality of Christ’s humanity and His death is proved by His having been pierced; and the water and blood from His side were the antitype to the Levitical waters of cleansing and blood offerings.
_ _ all kindreds ... shall wail — all the unconverted at the general judgment; and especially at His pre-millennial advent, the Antichristian confederacy (Zechariah 12:3-6, Zechariah 12:9; Zechariah 14:1-4; Matthew 24:30). Greek, “all the tribes of the land,” or “the earth.” See the limitation to “all,” Revelation 13:8. Even the godly while rejoicing in His love shall feel penitential sorrow at their sins, which shall all be manifested at the general judgment.
_ _ because of — Greek, “at,” or “in regard to Him.”
_ _ Even so, Amen — Gods seal of His own word; to which corresponds the believer’s prayer, Revelation 22:20. The “even so” is Greek; “Amen” is Hebrew. To both Gentiles and Jews His promises and threats are unchangeable. |
Revelation 1:7
Behold — In this and the next verse is the proposition, and the summary of the whole book. He cometh — Jesus Christ. Throughout this book, whenever it is said, He cometh, it means his glorious coming. The preparation for this began at the destruction of Jerusalem, and more particularly at the time of writing this book; and goes on, without any interruption, till that grand event is accomplished. Therefore it is never said in this book, He will come; but, He cometh. And yet it is not said, He cometh again: for when he came before, it was not like himself, but in "the form of a servant." But his appearing in glory is properly his coming; namely, in a manner worthy of the Son of God. And every eye — Of the Jews in particular. Shall see him — But with what different emotions, according as they had received or rejected him. And they who have pierced him — They, above all, who pierced his hands, or feet, or side. Thomas saw the print of these wounds even after his resurrection; and the same, undoubtedly, will be seen by all, when he cometh in the clouds of heaven. And all the tribes of the earth — The word tribes, in the Revelation, always means the Israelites: but where another word, such as nations or people, is joined with it, it implies likewise (as here) all the rest of mankind. Shall wail because of him — For terror and pain, if they did not wail before by true repentance. Yea, Amen — This refers to, every eye shall see him. He that cometh saith, Yea; he that testifies it, Amen. The word translated yea is Greek; Amen is Hebrew: for what is here spoken respects both Jew and gentile. |
