Commentary on Revelation 11:10
Theological / DevotionalDwell upon the earth. See on ch. 3:10.
Make merry. Gr. euphrainō, “to rejoice,” “to make merry.” Euphrainō is translated “be merry” in Luke 12:19. Now relieved from the torment, that is, the convicting testimony, of the two witnesses, the wicked quiet their consciences by losing themselves in merriment.
Send gifts. A sign of rejoicing see Esther 9:22).
Tormented. By the convicting power of their prophecy (see v. 3). There are few greater tortures than that of a guilty conscience. When truth and righteousness are constantly presented before the willful sinner, they often become intolerable to him.
