Revelation 11:13
_ _ “In that same hour”; literally, “the hour.”
_ _ great earthquake — answering to the “great earthquake” under the sixth seal, just at the approach of the Lord (Revelation 6:12). Christ was delivered unto His enemies on the fifth day of the week, and on the sixth was crucified, and on the sabbath rested; so it is under the sixth seal and sixth trumpet that the last suffering of the Church, begun under the fifth seal and trumpet, is to be consummated, before she enters on her seventh day of eternal sabbath. Six is the number of the world power’s greatest triumph, but at the same time verges on seven, the divine number, when its utter destruction takes place. Compare “666” in Revelation 13:18, “the number of the beast.”
_ _ tenth part of the city fell — that is, of “the great city” (Revelation 16:19; Zechariah 14:2). Ten is the number of the world kingdoms (Revelation 17:10-12), and the beast’s horns (Revelation 13:1), and the dragon’s (Revelation 12:3). Thus, in the Church-historical view, it is hereby implied that one of the ten apostate world kingdoms fall. But in the narrower view a tenth of Jerusalem under Antichrist falls. The nine-tenths remain and become when purified the center of Christ’s earthly kingdom.
_ _ of men — Greek, “names of men.” The men are as accurately enumerated as if their names were given.
_ _ seven thousand — Elliott interprets seven chiliads or provinces, that is, the seven Dutch United Provinces lost to the papacy; and “names of men,” titles of dignity, duchies, lordships, etc. Rather, seven thousand combine the two mystical perfect and comprehensive numbers seven and thousand, implying the full and complete destruction of the impenitent.
_ _ the remnant — consisting of the Israelite inhabitants not slain. Their conversion forms a blessed contrast to Revelation 16:9; and above, Revelation 9:20, Revelation 9:21. These repenting (Zechariah 12:10-14; Zechariah 13:1), become in the flesh the loyal subjects of Christ reigning over the earth with His transfigured saints.
_ _ gave glory to the God of heaven — which while apostates, and worshipping the beast’s image, they had not done.
_ _ God of heaven — The apostates of the last days, in pretended scientific enlightenment, recognize no heavenly power, but only the natural forces in the earth which come under their observation. His receiving up into heaven the two witnesses who had power during their time on earth to shut heaven from raining (Revelation 11:6), constrained His and their enemies who witnessed it, to acknowledge the God of heaven, to be God of the earth (Revelation 11:4). As in Revelation 11:4 He declared Himself to be God of the earth by His two witnesses, so now He proves Himself to be God of heaven also. |
Revelation 11:13
And there was a great earthquake and the tenth part of the city fell — We have here an unanswerable proof that this city is not Babylon or Rome, but Jerusalem. For Babylon shall be wholly burned before the fulfilling of the mystery of God. But this city is not burned at all; on the contrary, at the fulfilling of that mystery, a tenth part of it is destroyed by an earthquake, and the other nine parts converted. And there were slain in the earthquake seven thousand men — Being a tenth part of the inhabitants, who therefore were seventy thousand in all. And the rest — The remaining sixty — three thousand were converted: a grand step toward the fulfilling of the mystery of God. Such a conversion we no where else read of. So there shall be a larger as well as holier church at Jerusalem than ever was yet. Were terrified — Blessed terror! And gave glory — The character of true conversion, Jeremiah 13:16. To the God of heaven — He is styled, "The Lord of the earth," Revelation 11:4, when he declares his right over the earth by the two witnesses; but the God of heaven, when he not only gives rain from heaven after the most afflicting drought, but also declares his majesty from heaven, by taking his witnesses up into it. When the whole multitude gives glory to the God of heaven, then that "treading of the holy city" ceases. This is the point so long aimed at, the desired "fulfilling of the mystery of God," when the divine promises are so richly fulfilled on those who have gone through so great afflictions. All this is here related together, that whereas the first and second woe went forth in the east, the rest of the eastern affairs being added at once, the description of the western might afterwards remain unbroken. It may be useful here to see how the things here spoken of, and those hereafter described, follow each other in their order. The angel swears; the non — chronos begins; John eats the book; the many kings arise. The non — chronos and the "many kings" being on the decline, that treading" begins, and the "two witnesses" appear. The beast, after he has with the ten kings destroyed Babylon, wars with them and kills them. After three days and an half they revive and ascend to heaven. There is a great earthquake in the holy city: seven thousand perish, and the rest are converted. The "treading" of the city by the gentiles ends. The beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies are assembled to fight against the Great King. Multitudes of his enemies are killed, and the beast and the false prophet cast alive into the lake of fire. while John measures the temple of God and the altar with the worshippers, the true worship of God is set up. The nations who had trodden the holy city are converted. Hereby the mystery of God is fulfilled. Satan is imprisoned. Being released for a time, he, with Gog and Magog, makes his last assault upon Jerusalem. |
Revelation 11:13
(24) And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, (25) and (e) gave glory to the God of heaven.

This he said of the year following the Jubilee: which John many ages before, expressed word for word.
(25) They were indeed broken with present astonishment of mind, but did not earnestly repent as they ought to have done.
(e) Glorified God by confessing his name. |
