SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:14
¶ El segundo ¡Ay! es pasado; he aquí, el tercer ¡Ay! vendr presto.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Revelation 11:14
Verse 14. The seconds wo is past] That which took place under the sixth trumpet, and has been already described. The third wo cometh] Is about to be described under the seventh trumpet, which the angel is now prepared to sound.
Of the three woes which were denounced, chap. viii. 13, the first is described, chap. ix. 1-12; the second, chap. ix. 13- 21. These woes are supposed by many learned men to refer to the destruction of Jerusalem. The first wo - the seditions among the Jews themselves. The second wo - the besieging of the city by the Romans. The third wo - the taking and sacking of the city, and burning the temple. This was the greatest of all the woes, as in it the city and temple were destroyed, and nearly a million of men lost their lives.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. The second woe is past , etc.] Not in John's time, only in a visionary way; the meaning is, that the second woe trumpet, which is the sixth, will now have done sounding, when the four angels, bound in the river Euphrates, shall have been loosed, and they, with their horsemen, shall have done what they were designed to do; when the two witnesses shall have been slain, and are raised again, and ascended to heaven; and the things attending, or following thereon, as the earthquake, and slaughter, and the conversions of men, are accomplished. [And] behold the third woe cometh quickly ; immediately, upon the passing of the other; namely, the sounding of the seventh trumpet, as follows.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-19 - Before the sounding of the seventh and last trumpet, there is the usua demand of attention. The saints and angels in heaven know the right of our God and Saviour to rule over all the world. But the nations me God's wrath with their own anger. It was a time in which he wa beginning to reward his people's faithful services, and sufferings; an their enemies fretted against God, and so increased their guilt, an hastened their destruction. By the opening the temple of God in heaven may be meant, that there was a more free communication between heave and earth; prayer and praises more freely and frequently going up graces and blessings plentifully coming down. But it rather seems to refer to the church of God on earth. In the reign of antichrist, God' law was laid aside, and made void by traditions and decrees; the Scriptures were locked up from the people, but now they are brought to the view of all. This, like the ark, is a token of the presence of God returned to his people, and his favour toward them in Jesus Christ, a the Propitiation for their sins. The great blessing of the Reformatio was attended with very awful providences; as by terrible things in righteousness God answered the prayers presented in his holy temple no opened __________________________________________________________________
