Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Revelation 10:11

_ _ he said — A, B, and Vulgate read, “they say unto me”; an indefinite expression for “it was said unto me.”

_ _ Thou must — The obligation lies upon thee, as the servant of God, to prophesy at His command.

_ _ again — as thou didst already in the previous part of this book of Revelation.

_ _ before, etc. — rather as Greek (epilaois), “concerning many peoples,” etc., namely, in their relation to the Church. The eating of the book, as in Ezekiel’s case, marks John’s inauguration to his prophetical office — here to a fresh stage in it, namely, the revealing of the things which befall the holy city and the Church of God — the subject of the rest of the book.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Revelation 10:8-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Revelation 10:11

Thou must prophesy again — Of the mystery of God; of which the ancient prophets had prophesied before. And he did prophesy, by "measuring the temple," Revelation 11:1; as a prophecy may be delivered either by words or actions. Concerning people, and nations, and tongues, and many kings — The people, nations, and tongues are contemporary; but the kings, being many, succeed one another. These kings are not mentioned for their own sake, but with a view to the "holy city," Revelation 11:2. Here is a reference to the great kingdoms in Spain, England, Italy, &c., which arose from the eighth century; or at least underwent a considerable change, as France and Germany in particular; to the Christian, afterward Turkish, empire in the east; and especially to the various potentates, who have successively reigned at or over Jerusalem, and do now, at least titularly, reign over it.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Revelation 10:11

(8) And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

(8) A simple and plain declaration of the sign before, witnessing the divine calling of John, and laying on him the necessity of it.
