Revelation 9:4 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. They should not hurt the grass - Neither the common people, the men of middling condition, nor the nobles. However, this appears rather to refer to the prudent counsels of a military chief, not to destroy the crops and herbage of which they might have need in their campaigns.

Which have not the seal of God - All false, hypocritical, and heterodox Christians.

Revelation 9:4
