Revelation 9:20
_ _ the rest of the men — that is, the ungodly.
_ _ yet — So A, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic. B and Aleph read, “did not even repent of,” namely, so as to give up “the works,” etc. Like Pharaoh hardening his heart against repentance notwithstanding the plagues.
_ _ of their hands — (Deuteronomy 31:29). Especially the idols made by their hands. Compare Revelation 13:14, Revelation 13:15, “the image of the beast” Revelation 19:20.
_ _ that they should not — So B reads. But A, C, and Aleph read “that they shall not”: implying a prophecy of certainty that it shall be so.
_ _ devils — Greek, “demons” which lurk beneath the idols which idolaters worship. |
Revelation 9:20
(15) And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
(15) Now remains the event (as I said on the first verse), See Revelation 9:1 which followed so many grievous judgments in the most wicked world, namely an impenitent affirmation of the ungodly in their impiety and unrighteousness, though they feel themselves most vehemently pressed with the hand of God: for their obstinate ungodliness is showed in this verse: and their unrighteousness in the verse following (Revelation 9:21). So far has been the general history of things to be done universally in the whole world: which because it does not so much belong to the Church of Christ, is therefore not so expressly distinguished by certainty of time and other circumstances, but is woven, as they say, with a slight hand. Also there is no other reason why the history of the seventh angel is passed over in this place, then for that the same more properly appertains to the history of the Church. But this is more diligently set out according to its time, (Revelation 11:16) as shall appear on those places. |
