Commentary

Commentary on Revelation 8:2

Theological / Devotional

I saw. See on ch. 4:1.

The seven angels. Although he has nowhere previously mentioned these seven angels, John evidently takes for granted that their identity is sufficiently established by the statement of the fact that they are “the seven angels which stood before God.”

Stood. Rather, “stand.”

Seven trumpets. In the present vision the seven angels blow their trumpets to announce forthcoming divine judgments (see on vs. 5, 6).
