(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
the fearful - Greek, “the cowardly,” who do not quit themselves like men so as to “overcome” in the good fight; who have the spirit of slavish “fear,” not love, towards God; and who through fear of man are not bold for God, or “draw back.” Compare Rev 21:27; Rev 22:15.
unbelieving - Greek, “faithless.”
abominable - who have drank of the harlot’s “cup of abominations.”
sorcerers - one of the characteristics of Antichrist’s time.
all liars - Greek, “all the liars”: or else “all who are liars”; compare 1Ti 4:1, 1Ti 4:2, where similarly lying and dealings with spirits and demons, are joined together as features of “the latter times.”
second death - Rev 20:14 : “everlasting destruction,” 2Th 1:9; Mar 9:44, Mar 9:46, Mar 9:48, “Where THEIR worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.”
