Revelation 9:16 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

Compare with these 200,000,000, Psalms 68:17; Daniel 7:10. The hosts are evidently, from their numbers and appearance (Revelation 9:17), not merely human, but infernal, though constrained to work out God's will (cf. Revelation 9:1-2).

And I heard. A B 'Aleph ('), Vulgate, Syriac, Coptic, Cyprians, omit "end."
