Revelation 16:2
_ _ went — Greek, “went away.”
_ _ poured out — So the angel cast fire into the earth previous to the series of trumpets (Revelation 8:5).
_ _ upon — so Coptic. But A, B, C, Vulgate, and Syriac read, “into.”
_ _ noisome — literally, “evil” (compare Deuteronomy 28:27, Deuteronomy 28:35). The very same Greek word is used in the Septuagint as here, Greek, “helkos.” The reason why the sixth Egyptian plague is the first here is because it was directed against the Egyptian magicians, Jannes and Jambres, so that they could not stand before Moses; and so here the plague is sent upon those who in the beast worship had practiced sorcery. As they submitted to the mark of the beast, so they must bear the mark of the avenging God. Contrast Revelation 7:3; Ezekiel 9:4, Ezekiel 9:6.
_ _ grievous — distressing to the sufferers.
_ _ sore upon the men — antitype to the sixth Egyptian plague.
_ _ which had the mark of the beast — Therefore this first vial is subsequent to the period of the beast’s rule. |
Revelation 16:2
And the first went — So the second, third, &c., without adding angel, to denote the utmost swiftness; of which this also is a token, that there is no period of time mentioned in the pouring out of each phial. They have a great resemblance to the plagues of Egypt, which the Hebrews generally suppose to have been a month distant from each other. Perhaps so may the phials; but they are all yet to come. And poured out his phial upon the earth — Literally taken. And there came a grievous ulcer — As in Egypt, Exodus 9:10-11. On the men who had the mark of the wild beast — All of them, and them only. All those plagues seem to be described in proper, not figurative, words. |
Revelation 16:2
(2) And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the (3) mark of the beast, and [upon] them which worshipped his image.
(2) The history of the first angel, whose plague on the earth is described almost in the same words with that sixth plague of the Egyptians in (Exodus 9:9). But it does signify a spiritual vicar, and that torture or butchery of conscience seared with a hot iron, which accuses the ungodly within, and both by truth of the word (the light of which God has now so long shown forth) and by bitterness stirs up and forces out the sword of God's wrath. (3) See (Revelation 13:16) |
