* And (note :)In the former chapter was set down the preparation to the work of God : here is delivered the execution of it . In this discourse of the execution , is a general commandment , in this verse , then a particular recital in order of the execution done by every of the seven angels , in the rest of the chapter . This special execution against Antichrist and his crew does in manner agree to that which was generally done on the whole world , chapters eight and nine and belongs (if my conjecture fail me not ) to the same time . Yet in here they differ from one another , that this was particularly effected on the princes and ringleaders of the wickedness of the world , the other generally against the whole world being wicked . Therefore these judgments are more grievous than those .(:note ) I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels , Go your ways , and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth . * * * * And I heard the Angel of the waters say , Lord , thou art iust , Which art , and Which wast : and Holy , because thou hast iudged these things . * For they shed the blood of the Saints , &amp ; Prophets , and therefore hast thou giuen them blood to drinke : for they are worthy . * * * And men boyled in great heate , and blasphemed the Name of God , which hath power ouer these plagues , and they repented not , to giue him glorie . * * And blasphemed the God of heauen for their paines , and for their sores , and repented not of their workes . * * And I saw (note :)That is , every one of them focus their whole force , and conspired that by wonders , word and work they might bring into the same destruction all kings , princes and potentates of the world , cursedly bewitched by them by their spirits , and teachers of the vanity and impunity of the beast that committed fornication with the kings of the earth . This is a good description of our times .(:note ) three unclean spirits Croaking with all importunity and continually day and night provoking and calling forth to arms , as the trumpets and furies of wars , as is declared in ( Rev_16:14 ). like frogs [come ] out of the mouth of the That is , the devil ; ( Rev_12:3 ) dragon , and out of the mouth of the See ( Rev_13:1 ). beast , and out of the mouth of the That is , of that other beast ; ( Rev_13:11 ), for so he is called also in ( Rev_19:20 , Rev_20:10 ). false prophet . * For they are the spirits of deuils , working miracles , to go vnto the Kings of the earth , and of the whole world , to gather them to the battell of that great day of God Almightie . * * * * * * And every island fled away , and the mountains (note :)That is , were seen no more , or were no more extant . A borrowed Hebraism .(:note ) were not Literally «appeared not »; ( Gen_5:24 ) found . *
