Revelation 16:17 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And the seventh... — Translate, And the seventh (angel) poured out his vial upon the air, and there came forth a voice out of the temple, from the throne, saying, It is done. The results of the outpouring of this vial are described in the following verses; but before these are seen, the voice from the throne — God’s own voice (see Revelation 16:1) — proclaims, as though rejoicing in the near approach of the happy end, “It is done.” The close of these scenes of sin and suffering is now at hand, for the last of the last plagues has been sent forth.
