Commentary

Commentary on Revelation 9:13

Theological / Devotional

Sixth angel. That is, the second woe (see on chs. 8:13; 11:14; cf. ch. 9:12).

Four horns. Textual evidence is divided (cf. p. 10) between this and the reading “horns.” For the horns on the altar of incense in the ancient wilderness tabernacle see Ex. 37:26.

The golden altar. Doubtless the same altar as the one where the angel had ministered the prayers of the saints (ch. 8:3–5).
