The Argument - Because the children of God should expect no continual rest and quietness in this world, the Holy Spirit sets before our eyes in this book the variety and change of things, which came to the people of Israel from the death of David, Solomon, and the rest of the kings, to the death of Ahab. Declaring that flourishing kingdoms, unless they are preserved by God's protection, (who then favours them when his word is truly set forth, virtue esteemed, vice punished, and concord maintained) fall to decay and come to nothing as appears by the dividing of the kingdom under Rehoboam and Jeroboam, who were one people before and now by the just punishment of God were made two. Judah and Benjamin were under Rehoboam, and this was called the kingdom of Judah. The other ten tribes held with Jeroboam, and this was called the kingdom of Israel. The king of Judah had his throne in Jerusalem, and the king of Israel in Samaria, after it was built by Omri Ahab's father. Because our Saviour Christ according to the flesh, comes from the stock of David, the genealogy of the kings of Judah is here described, from Solomon to Joram the son of Jehoshaphat, who reigned over Judah in Jerusalem as Ahab did over Israel in Samaria.

geneva@Revelation:4:1 @ After (note:)Hereafter follows the second part of this book, altogether prophetical foretelling those things which were to come, as was said in (Rev_1:19). This is divided into two histories: one common to the whole world, till Chapter 9 and another unique to the Church of God, till Chapter 22. These histories are said to be described in several books (Rev_5:1, Rev_10:2). Now this verse is a passage from the former part to this second: where it is said, that heaven was opened, that is, that heavenly things were unlocked and that a trumpet sounded in heaven, to stir up the apostle, and call him to the understanding of things to come. The first history has two parts: one the causes of things done and of this whole revelation in this next chapter, another of the acts done in the next four chapters. The principal causes according to the economy or dispensation of it, are two: One the beginning, which none can approach, that is, God the Father, of whom is spoken in this chapter. The other, the Son, who is the secondary cause, easy to be approached, in that he is God and man in one person; (Rev_5:5-9).(:note) this I looked, and, behold, a door [was] opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard [was] as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

geneva@Revelation:4:11 @

geneva@Revelation:5:1 @ And (note:)A passing to the second principal cause, which is the Son of God, God and man, the mediator of all, as the eternal word of God the Father, manifest in the flesh. This chapter has two parts: one that prepares the way to the revelation, by rehearsal of the occasions that occurred in the first four verses (Rev_5:2-5). Another, the history of the revelation of Christ, from there to the end of the chapter (Rev_5:6-14).(:note) I saw in the That is, in the very right hand of God. right hand of him that sat on the throne Here are shown the occasions for which the principal cause, and this revelation was also necessary: the same are three, the first a present vision of the book of the counsels of God, concerning the government of this whole world, which book is said to be laid up with the Father as it were in his hand: but shut up and unknown to all creature, in this verse. The second is a religious desire of the angels of God to understand the mysteries of this book (1Pe_1:12) (Rev_5:2). The third is a lamentation of John and all the godly, moved by the same desire (Rev_5:4) when they saw that it was an impossible thing for any creature to do: which is declared in (Rev_5:3). a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

geneva@Revelation:5:4 @ Then I wept much, because no man was foud worthy to open, and to reade the Booke, neither to looke thereon.

geneva@Revelation:7:4 @ And I heard the number of them which were sealed: [and there were] sealed (note:)That is, of the Jews a number certain in itself before God, and such as may be numbered of us: for which cause also the same is here set down as certain. But of the elect who are Gentiles, the number indeed is in itself certain with God, but of us not possibly to be numbered, as God, (Gen_15:5). This is spoken with respect, when a certain number is put for one uncertain. Compare with (Rev_7:9).(:note) an hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

geneva@Revelation:7:9 @ After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, (note:){{See Rev_7:4}}(:note) which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, As priests, kings and glorious conquerors by martyrdom: which is noted by the signs in this verse. stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

geneva@Revelation:8:4 @ And the smoke of the incense, [which came] with the prayers of the saints, (note:)Our prayers are worth nothing, unless the true and sweet savour of that only sacrifice be especially and before all things with them, that is to say, unless we are first of all justified through faith in his Son, acceptable to him.(:note) ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

geneva@Revelation:9:4 @

geneva@Revelation:10:4 @

geneva@Revelation:11:1 @ And there (note:)The authority of the intended revelation being declared, together with the necessity of that calling which was particularly imposed on John after which follows the history of the estate of Christ his Church, both conflicting or warring, and overcoming in Christ. For the true Church of Christ is said to fight against that which is falsely so called, over which Antichrist rules, Christ Jesus overthrowing Antichrist by the spirit of his mouth: and Christ is said to overcome most gloriously until he shall slay Antichrist by the appearance of his coming, as the apostle teaches in (2Th_2:8). So this history has two parts: One of the state of the Church conflicting with temptations until Chapter 16. The other of the state of the same church obtaining victory, thence to Chapter 20. The first part has two sections most conveniently distributed into their times, of which the first contains a history of the Christian Church for 1260 years, what time the gospel of Christ was as it were taken up from among men into heaven: the second contains a history of the same Church to the victory perfected. These two sections are briefly, though distinctly propounded in this chapter, but both of them are discoursed after in due order. For we understand the state of the Church conflicting, out of Chapters 12 and 13, and of the same growing out of afflictions, out of Chapters 14 to 16. Neither did John unknowingly join together the history of these two times in this chapter, because here is spoken of prophecy, which all confess to be but one just and immutable in the Church, and which Christ commanded to be continual. The history of the former time reaches to (Rev_11:2-14), the latter is set down in the rest of this chapter (Rev_11:15-19). In the former are shown these things: the calling of the servants of God in (Rev_11:4) the conflicts which the faithful must undergo in their calling, for Christ and his Church, thence to (Rev_11:5-10) and their resurrection, and receiving up into heaven to (Rev_11:11-14). In the calling of the servants of God, two things are mentioned: the begetting and settling of the Church in two verses, and the education of it in two verses. The begetting of the Church is here commended to John by sign and by speech: the sign is a measuring rod, and the speech a commandment to measure the Temple of God, that is, to reduce the same to a new form: because the Gentiles are already entered into the Temple of Jerusalem, and shall shortly defile and overthrow it completely.(:note) was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and Either that of Jerusalem's, which was a figure of the Church of Christ, or that heavenly model in (Rev_11:19) but I like the first better, and the things following all agree to it. The sense therefore is, you see all things in God's house, almost from the passion of Christ, to be disordered: and not only the city of Jerusalem, but also the court of the Temple is trampled under foot by the nations, and by profane men whether Jews or strangers: and that only this Temple, that is, the body of the Temple, with the altar, and a small company of good men who truly worship God, do now remain, whom God sanctifies and confirms by his presence. Measure therefore this, even this true Church, or rather the true type of the true Church, omitting the rest, and so describe all things from me, that the true Church of Christ may be as it were a very little centre, and the Church of Antichrist as the circle of the centre, every way in length and breadth compassing about the same, that by way of prophecy you may so declare openly, that the state of the Temple of God, and the faithful who worship him, that is, of the Church, is much more upright than the Church of Antichrist. measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

For first of all, as the foundation of the whole history, is described the standing of the Lamb with his army and retinue in five verses, after his worthy acts which he has done and yet does in most mighty manner, while he overthrows Antichrist with the spirit of his mouth, in the rest of this chapter and in the two following. To the description of the Lamb, are propounded three things: his situation, place and attendance: for the rest are expounded in the former visions, especially in the fifth chapter.(:note) stood on the mount Sion, and with him Prepared to do his office see (Act_7:56), in the midst of the church, which mount Zion pictured before. an hundred forty [and] four thousand, having his Father's This retinue of the Lamb is described first by divine mark (as before in) (Rev_7:2) in this verse. Then by divine occupation, in that every one in his retinue most earnestly and sweetly (Rev_14:2) glorify the Lamb with a special song before God and his elect angels. Flesh and blood cannot hear this song, nor understand, (Rev_14:3). Lastly by their deeds done before, and their sanctification in that they were virgins, pure from spiritual and bodily fornication, that is, from impiety and unrighteousness. They followed the Lamb as a guide to all goodness, cleaved to him and are holy to him, as by grace redeemed by him. In truth and simplicity of Christ they have exercised all these things, sanctimony of life, the guidance of the Lamb, a thankful remembrance of redemption by him and finally (to conclude in a word) they are blameless before the Lord, (Rev_14:4-5). name written in their foreheads.

This historical prediction concerning her, is threefold. The first a plain and simple foretelling of her ruin, in three verses (Rev_18:2-3). The second a figurative prediction by the circumstances, from there to (Rev. strkjv@18:4-20). The third, a confirmation of the same by sign or wonder, to the end of the chapter (Rev_18:21-24).

geneva@Revelation:18:4 @

geneva@Revelation:18:9 @ And (note:)The circumstances following the fall of Babylon, or the consequences of it (as I distinguished them in) {{See Rev_18:4}} are two. Namely the lamentation of the wicked to (Rev_18:5-19) and the rejoicing of the godly in (Rev_18:20). This sorrowful lamentation, according to those that lament, has three parts: the first of which is the mourning of the kings and mighty men of the earth, (Rev_18:9-10): The second is, the lamentation of the merchants that trade by land, to the sixteenth verse: (Rev_18:11-16). The third is, the wailing of those that trade by sea, in (Rev_18:16-18). In each of those the cause and manner of their mourning is described in order, according to the condition of those that mourn, with observation of that which best agrees to them.(:note) the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

geneva@Revelation:19:1 @ And (note:)This chapter has in summary two parts, one transitory or of passage to the things that follow, to the tenth verse, (Rev_19:2-10), another historical of the victory of Christ over both the beasts, to the end of the chapter (Rev_19:11-21), which I said was the second history of this argument, (Rev_17:1). The transition has two places, one of praising God for the overthrow done to Babylon in (Rev_19:4): and another likewise of praise and prophecy, for the coming of Christ to his kingdom, and his most royal marriage with his Church, thence to the tenth verse (Rev_19:5-10). The former praise has three parts, distinguished after the ancient manner of those that sing: an invitation in (Rev_19:1-2), a response or answer in (Rev_19:3), and a close or joining together in harmony in (Rev_19:4), all which I thought good of purpose to distinguish in this place, lest any man should with Porphyrius, or other like dogs, object to John, or the heavenly Church, a childish and idle repetition of speech.(:note) after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Praise the Lord.The proposition of praise with exhortation in this verse, and the cause of it in (Rev_19:2). Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

geneva@Revelation:19:4 @ And the foure & twentie Elders, and the foure beastes fell downe, and worshipped God that sate on the throne, saying, Amen, Hallelu-iah.

geneva@Revelation:20:1 @ And (note:)Now follows the third part of the prophetic history, which is of the victory by which Christ overcame the dragon, as I noted in (Rev_7:1). This part must necessarily be joined with the end of the twelfth chapter and be applied to the correct understanding of it. This chapter has two parts, one of the dragon overcome, to (Rev_20:2-10): the other of the resurrection and last judgment to (Rev_20:11-15). The story of the dragon is twofold: First of the first victory, after which he was bound by Christ, to the sixth verse (Rev_20:1-6). The second is of the last victory, by which he has thrown down into everlasting punishment, there to the fifteenth verse (Rev_20:7-15). This first history happened in the first time of the Christian Church, when the dragon thrown down from heaven by Christ, went about to molest the new birth of the Church in the earth, (Rev_12:17, Rev_18:1). For which cause I gave warning, that this story of the dragon must be joined to that passage.(:note) I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key That is, of hell, where God threw the angels who had sinned, and bound them in chains of darkness to be kept till damnation, (2Pe_2:4) of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

The effects proceeding from God, who dwells in the Church, are these: the everlasting grace of God, in this verse, the eternal life of the godly, as in (Rev_2:7) the eternal fruits which the godly bring forth to God, themselves and others, (Rev_22:2), freedom and immunity from all evil, God himself taking pleasure in his servants, and they likewise in their God, (Rev_22:3).
