How preachers through history handled this text
7 public-domain excerpts on Revelation 11, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“Before the sounding of the seventh and last trumpet, there is the usual 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 met God's wrath with their own anger. It was a time in which he was beginning to reward his people's faithful services, and sufferings; and their enemies fretted against God, and so increased their guilt, and hastened their destruction. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Revelation 11:14–25 (Public Domain)
