Revelation 15:4

Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. WHO SHALL NOT - `Who is there but must fear thee?' Compare Moses' song, , on the fear which God's judgments strike into the foe. THEE. So 'Aleph ('), Syriac; but A B C, Vulgate, Cyprian, reject "thee." ALL NATIONS SHALL COME. Alluding to : cf. ; . The conversion of all nations shall be when Christ shall come, and not until then; the first moving cause will be Christ's manifested judgments prepa...

1-4 Seven angels appeared in heaven; prepared to finish the destruction of antichrist. As the measure of Babylon's sins was filled up, it finds the full measure of Divine wrath. While believers stand in this world, in times of trouble, as upon a sea of glass mingled with fire, they may look forward to their final deliverance, while new mercies call forth new hymns of praise. The more we know of God's wonderful works, the more we shall praise his greatness as the Lord God Almighty, the Creator and Ruler of all worlds; but his title of Emmanuel, the King of saints, will make him dear to us. Who that considers the power of God's wrath, the value of his favour, or the glory of his holiness, would refuse to fear and honour him alone? His praise is above heaven and earth....

Verse Revelation 15:4. _WHO SHALL NOT FEAR THEE_] That is, _All should fear_ and worship this true God, because he is just and true and holy; and his _saints_ should love and obey him, because he is their _King_; and they and all men _should_ acknowledge his judgments, because they are _made manifest_....

WHO SHALL NOT FEAR THEE, O LORD - Reverence and adore thee; for the word “fear,” in the Scriptures, is commonly used in this sense when applied to God. The sense here is, that the judgments about to be inflicted on the beast and his image should and would teach people to reverence and adore God. There is, perhaps, included here also the idea of awe, inasmuch as this would be the effect of punishment. AND GLORIFY THY NAME - Honor thee - the name being put for the person who bare it. The sense is, that, as a consequence of these judgments, men would be brought to honor God, and to acknowledge him as the Ruler of the earth. FOR THOU ONLY ART HOLY - That is, in these judgments he would show himself to be a holy God; a God hating sin, and loving righteousness and truth. When it is said that he “only” is holy, the expression is used, of course, in a comparative sens

EXPOSITION REVELATION 15:1 AND I SAW ANOTHER SIGN IN HEAVEN. The last time we had this expression was in Revelation 12:1., where the history of the war between Satan and the Church was begun. Once more we have a new departure, the seer again, as it were, returning to the beginning? in order to trace the course of the punishments inflicted on men for their worship of the devil. Revelation 15:1. gives a short summary of this, which is expanded in Revelation 16:1.; and it is introduced, as usual, by a vision of the saints in glory, in order to comfort and s

WHO SHALL NOT FEAR THEE, O LORD,.... At this time the people of the Jews shall seek after Christ, and fear him and his goodness; the forces of the Gentiles shall be brought into Zion, whose heart shall then fear, and be enlarged; the fear of the Lord will be in all places, and in all men, both Jews and Gentiles, Hosea 3:5 AND GLORIFY THY NAME? by ascribing all divine perfections to him, giving him divine worship and adoration, and attributing the whole of salvation to him, and the glory of all that is done for his church, and against its enemies: FOR THOU ONLY ART HOLY; not only perfectly holy, as man, but infinitely and essentially holy, as God, and the fountain of holiness to his people, as Mediator: this character seems to be given in opposition to antichrist, who arrogantly assumes the title of holiness to himself, when it only belongs to Christ....

THE PREPARATION FOR THE VISION OF THE BOWLS. Revelation 15:1. which are the last: an indication that we are nearing the end of the tragedy. Revelation 15:2. Before the plagues are poured out from the bowls we have a new vision of heaven and the triumphs of the redeemed. GLASSY SEA: _ cf._ Revelation 4:6. MINGLED WITH FIRE: this addition to the description of the _heavenly_ sea is difficult to explain. The crystal light of the sea of glass is reddened as by fire, and The red glow on the sea spoke of the fire through which the martyrs passed, and yet more of the wrath about to fall upon the world which had condemned them (Swete). This seems to be the only possible explan

"Who shall not fear thee, Lord, and glorify thy name? for _thou_ only _art_ holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. And after that. looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled."--15:4-8. The apostle looks again and "behold, the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven is opened." The tabernacle of the testimony was the Holy of Holi...
