Revelation 14:7 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

Ver. 7. Fear God] Let one fear drive out another (as one fire doth another); the fear of God, the fear of your fellow-creatures, who draw you to idolatry. For this it is that the second commandment is the first with punishment.

Give glory to him] By confessing your sins and amending your ways. See Joshua 7:19; Jeremiah 13:16 .

For the hour of his judgment is come] The judgment that he will exercise upon idolaters and their mawmets, as once in Egypt. See John 12:31; Act 17:30-31 Acts 14:15 .

And the fountains of waters] Quantum miraculi sit in admiranda illa fluminum perennitate, nemo, credo, philosophorum satis explicare haetenus potuit, saith Bucholcer.
