This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rev 20:9. Τὴν πόλιν τὴν ἠγαπημένην) Jerusalem is called πόλις ἠγαπημένη, Sir 24:11. But here it comes under the name both of camp and city, ἓν διὰ δυοῖν. Μεμισημένος, ch. Rev 18:2, and ἠγαπημένος, are opposed to one another: and yet in this place there seems to be pointed out a security on the part of the city, which is not altogether harmless, as Deu 32:15. In the Greek it is ἀπελάκτισεν ὁ ἠγαπημένος.
