Revelation 14:9

Compare all

7 saying with a loud voice, ^a“Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; ^band worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

8 And another angel followed, saying, ^a“Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because ^bshe has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ^a“If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his ^bmark on his forehead or on his hand,

10 he himself ^ashall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is ^bpoured out full strength into ^cthe cup of His indignation. ^dHe shall be tormented with ^efire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

11 And ^athe smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

12 ^aHere is the¹ patience of the saints; ^bhere are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 14:9

And the third angel followed - Bishop Bale considers these three angels as three descriptions of preachers, who should bear their testimony against the corruptions of the papal Church.

The beast and his image - See the notes on Revelation 13:1-18 (note).

Mark in his forehead - Such as the sectarial marks of the idolatrous Hindoos, as has been observed before.
