Commentary

Commentary on Revelation 16:11

Theological / Devotional

Blasphemed. Men confirm their perverse hatred of God. Their attitude under the fourth plague (see on v. 9) persists unabated.

God of heaven. See on ch. 11:13.

Their pains. That is, the effects of the plagues (v. 10).

Their sores. That is, the effects of the first plague (v. 2). Apparently the sores of the first plague are not immediately fatal, at least not in all cases. Apparently, also, the plagues fall successively rather than simultaneously, and their effects persist (see on v. 2).

Repented not. See on v. 9.
