This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Write (Grapson). First aorist active imperative of graphō as in Rev 1:11; Rev 14:13. The speaker may be the angel guide of Rev 17:1.
It is another beatitude (makarioi, Blessed) like that in Rev 14:13 (fourth of the seven in the book).
They which are bidden (hoi keklēmenoi). Articular perfect passive participle of kaleō, like Mat 22:3; Luk 14:17. Cf. Rev 17:14. This beatitude reminds us of that in Luk 14:15. (Cf. Mat 8:11; Mat 26:29.)
These are true words of God (Houtoi hoi logoi alēthinoi tou theou eisin). Undoubtedly, but one should bear in mind that apocalyptic symbolism “has its own methods and laws of interpretation, and by these the student must be guided” (Swete).
