Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Revelation 21:8

_ _ the fearfulGreek, “the cowardly,” who do not quit themselves like men so as to “overcome” in the good fight; who have the spirit of slavish “fear,” not love, towards God; and who through fear of man are not bold for God, or “draw back.” Compare Revelation 21:27; Revelation 22:15.

_ _ unbelievingGreek, “faithless.”

_ _ abominable — who have drank of the harlot’s “cup of abominations.”

_ _ sorcerers — one of the characteristics of Antichrist’s time.

_ _ all liarsGreek, “all the liars”: or else “all who are liars”; compare 1 Timothy 4:1, 1 Timothy 4:2, where similarly lying and dealings with spirits and demons, are joined together as features of “the latter times.”

_ _ second deathRevelation 20:14 : “everlasting destruction,” 2 Thessalonians 1:9; Mark 9:44, Mark 9:46, Mark 9:48, “Where THEIR worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Revelation 21:1-8.
