Commentary on Revelation 15:4

Theological / Devotional

Who shall not fear thee? Compare Jer. 10:7. The message of the first angel in Rev. 14 was, “Fear God, and give glory to him.” The saints had heeded this appeal, and now that their pilgrimage is over they join in this wonderful ascription of praise to the glory of God. Compare the cry of the worshipers of the beast, “Who is like unto the beast?” (ch. 13:4).

Glorify thy name. Compare Ps. 86:9.

Holy. Gr. hosios (see on Acts 2:27; cf. on ch. 13:34). The adjective appears with reference to God in the LXX of Deut. 32:4.. This is the first of three reasons given why men should glorify their Maker. The other two are, “for all nations shall come and worship before thee,” and “for thy judgments are made manifest.”

Thy judgments. Here, doubtless, particularly the judgments of God against the beast, his image, and his worshipers.
