And after these things - Immediately after the preceding vision. I saw four angels - Instruments which God employs in the dispensation of his providence; we know not what. On the four corners of the earth - On the extreme parts of the land of Judea, called ἡ γη, the land, or earth, by way of eminence. Holding the four winds - Preventing evil from every quarter. Earth - sea, nor on any tree; keeping the whole of the land free from evil, till the Church of Christ should wax strong, and each of his followers have time to prepare for his flight from Jerusalem, previously to its total destruction by the Romans.

But A, C, Vulgate, and Coptic omit "and." after these things--A, B, C, and Coptic read, "after this." The two visions in this chapter come in as an episode after the sixth seal, and before the seventh seal. It is clear that, though "Israel" may elsewhere designate the spiritual Israel, "the elect (Church) on earth" [ALFORD], here, where the names of the tribes one by one are specified, these names cannot have any but the literal meaning. The second advent will be the time of the restoration of the kingdom to Israel, when the times of the Gentiles shall have been fulfilled, and the Jews shall at last say, "Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord." The period of the Lord's absence has been a blank in the history of the Jews as a nation. As then Revelation is the Book of the Second Advent [DE BURGH], naturally mention of God's restored favor to Israel occurs among the events that usher in Christ's advent. earth . . . sea . . . tree--The judgments to descend on these are in answer to the martyrs' prayer under the fifth seal. Compare the same judgments under the fifth trumpet, the sealed being exempt (Rev 9:4). on any tree--Greek, "against any tree" (Greek, "epi ti dendron": but "on the earth," Greek, "epi tees gees").
Відкрити джерело ↗And after these things,.... After the opening of six of the seals of the sealed book, and after the demolition of Heathen deities, and of Heathen worship, and of Heathen magistrates, in the Roman empire, and the representation of these to John, he had the following vision; and which therefore does not refer to the preservation of the Christians, before and at the destruction of Jerusalem, which was under the first seal; nor to the security of the saints from the wrath of the Lamb, when it fell upon the Pagan worshippers, of all ranks and degrees, which was under the sixth seal, and was now over; but rather it respects an intermediate space of time between the sixth and seventh seal, as reaching from Constantine to Theodosius; for upon Constantine's being sole emperor, the church enjoyed great peace and tranquillity after the blustering storms of Pagan persecution ceased; and great numbers of God's elect were converted and sealed, and the winds of Heathen persecution were held, and blew no more, unless for a short time under the Emperor Julian; though the church was not free from the wind of error and heresy; and the storms of contention which arose about them, nor from the tempest of Arian persecutions, which were very grievous; wherefore this refers to what should be between the sixth and seventh seal, which brings on the seven trumpets: and now, before John sees that seal opened, a pause is made, and this vision is shown him, to fortify his mind, and all other saints, that are observers of these things, who by the opening of the following seal would see what judgments and plagues would come upon the empire, now become Christian, and what changes and revolutions would be made in it, and might fear that the church of God would be wholly swallowed up and lost; wherefore…

By these winds we suppose are meant those errors and corruptions in religion which would occasion a great deal of trouble and mischief to the church of God. Sometimes the Holy Spirit is compared to the wind: here the spirits of error are compared to the four winds, contrary one to another, but doing much hurt to the church, the garden and vineyard of God, breaking the branches and blasting the fruits of his plantation. The devil is called the prince of the power of the air; he, by a great wind, overthrew the house of Job's eldest son. Errors are as wind, by which those who are unstable are shaken, and carried to and fro, Eph 4:14. Observe, 1. These are called the winds of the earth, because they blow only in these lower regions near the earth; heaven is always clear and free from them. 2. They are restrained by the ministry of angels, standing on the four corners of the earth, intimating that the spirit of error cannot go forth till God permits it, and that the angels minister to the good of the church by restraining its enemies. 3. Their restraint was only for a season, and that was till the servants of God were sealed in their foreheads. God has a particular care and concern for his own servants in times of temptation and corruption, and he has a way to secure them from the common infection; he first establishes them, and then he tries them; he has the timing of their trials in his own hand. II. An account of the sealing of the servants of God, where observe, 1. To whom this work was committed - to an angel, another angel. While some of the angels were employed to restrain Satan and his agents, another angel was employed to mark out and distinguish the faithful servants of God. 2. How they were distingu…
Відкрити джерело ↗7:1-17 Three interludes occur in chs 6–14 (ch 7; 10:1–11:14; 12:1–14:20) to define the place of God’s holy people and to provide perspective on the previous scenes. In this first interlude before the seventh seal is broken, two visions communicate how God protects his people and assures them of his calling. 7:1-8 The interlude’s first vision shows how God protects his faithful followers from ultimate harm. 7:1-3 Wait! God calls for a temporary halt by the four angels of destruction. • The seal of the living God implies membership in God’s household; God owns and protects his people (2 Cor 1:22; Eph 1:13-14). In the ancient world, sealing or tattooing was a sign of ownership. • The angel . . . carrying the seal identified God’s people, answering the question of who would survive God’s wrath (Rev 6:17; see Ezek 9:3-8; John 17:14-15) and furthering the promise of protection (Rev 3:10; see also 11:1-2).

І пошле анголі́в Своїх Він із голосним сурмови́м гуком, і зберуть Його ви́браних — „від вітрі́в чотирьох, від кінців неба аж до кі́нців його“.
Даниїл заговорив та й сказав: „Бачив я в своєму видінні вночі, аж ось чотири небесні вітри́ вдарили на Велике море.
І з чотирьо́х кінців неба спрова́джу чотири вітри́ до Еламу, і їх розпоро́шу на всі ці вітри́, і не бу́де такого наро́ду, куди б не прийшли ці вигна́нці з Ела́му.
І тоді Він пошле Анголів і зберуть Його ви́браних „від вітрі́в чотирьо́х, від кра́ю землі до крайнеба“.
А козел з кіз став аж надто великий. А коли він зміцни́вся, то був зла́маний той великий ріг, а замість нього виросли чотири подо́би рога на чотири вітри́ неба.
„А ти, сину лю́дський, послухай: Отак Господь Бог промовляє до кра́ю Ізраїлевого: Кіне́ць, надійшов той кінець на чотири окра́йки землі!
І сказав Він мені: „Пророкуй до духа, пророкуй, сину лю́дський, та й скажеш до духа: Так говорить Господь Бог: Прилинь, духу, з чотирьох вітрі́в, і дихни́ на цих забитих, — і нехай оживу́ть!“
Ти вигнав його, відіслав його й су́дишся з ним, вигнав його Своїм по́дувом сильним у день схі́днього вітру.
І пога́нам підійме Він пра́пора, і згрома́дить вигна́нців Ізраїля, і розпоро́шення Юди збере з чотирьох країв сві́ту!
що казав шостому Анголові, який мав сурму́: „Розв'яжи чотирьох Анголів, що пов'язані при великій річці Ефра́ті“.
