Joseph Exell on Revelation 16:5
The Pulpit Commentary is a series of commentaries, variously edited. The editor for the Revelation volume is Joseph Exell (1849-1910), evidently a pastor in addition to being an editor. I’m crediting him in the title of this post, though I am not sure whether he provided the thoughts quoted below. TPC, at Revelation 16:5, writes: Thou…

John Gill on Revelation 16:5
John Gill is simply a legendary scholar of the Bible. His knowledge of the Jewish sources and his willingness to discuss them in relation to the Bible sometimes yields a very different take on a particular text from his contemporaries. Gill, at Revelation 16:5, writes: Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and…

Ethelbert William Bullinger on Revelation 16:5
Ethelbert William Bullinger (1837-1913) is best known for his “Companion Bible,” or perhaps for his role in the development of dispensationalism, as such. Bullinger made my “most significant” list, because it dealt directly with the issue at hand, but not because it deals deeply with it. Bullinger’s “Companion Bible Notes” are the source of the…

Marvin Richardson Vincent (1834-1922) became Professor of New Testament Exegesis and Criticism at Union Theological Seminary in New York. His “Word Studies,” continues to be a valuable resource today. Vincent, at Revelation 16:5, writes: O Lord. Omit. And shalt be. Following the reading oJ ejsomenov. Read oJ osiov Thou Holy One.

Johann Albrecht Bengel on Revelation 16:5
Johann Albrecht Bengel (1687-1752) is probably more famous today for his work in textual criticism. However, Bengel’s Gnomon of the New Testament (published in 1742, and the source of the following quotations) was what he was best known for during his lifetime. Bengel, at Revelation 16:5, writes: Revelation 16:5 . [178] Ὁ ὢ καὶ ὁ…

Heinrich August Wilhelm Meyer on Revelation 16:5
Heinrich August Wilhelm Meyer (1800-73) is most famous for his 16 volume critical commentary on the New Testament. Meyer, at Revelation 16:5, wrote: Revelation 16:5 . ὅσιος .

Walter Biggar Scott on Revelation 16:5
Walter Biggar Scott (1838-1933), apparently a significant member of the Plymouth brethren, wrote a commentary on Revelation. At Revelation 16:5, Scott writes: The angel of the waters acquiesces in the divine judgment. It might be naturally supposed that he would deprecate judicial and retributive dealing in the sphere over which he presides. On the contrary,…
