This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Contrast with this “supper,” Rev 19:17, Rev 19:18, the marriage supper of the Lamb, Rev 19:9.
captains - Greek, “captains of thousands,” that is, chief captains. The “kings” are “the ten” who “give their power unto the beast.”
free and bond - specified in Rev 13:16, as “receiving the mark of the beast.” The repetition of flesh (in the Greek it is plural: masses of flesh) five times in this verse, marks the gross carnality of the followers of the beast. Again, the giving of their flesh to the fowls to eat, is a righteous retribution for their not suffering the dead bodies of Christ’s witnesses to be put in graves.
