Apocalipsis 14:9 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 14:9

And the third angel followed them
The two preceding ones, and that very quickly; by whom is meant not Luther, and his associates in the Reformation, as some think; nor his successors, or the ministers of the Gospel in general from his time till Christ's second coming, as others have thought; but a set of Gospel ministers in the spiritual reign of Christ: the first set of them publish the everlasting Gospel, which leads on to the ruin of antichrist; the second set proclaim the downfall of Rome, and this third set denounce the wrath of God upon all that have professed the Popish religion: saying with a loud voice;
as the first angel did, with like authority and vehemence, in order to strike terror, and express indignation: if any man worship the beast and his image;
give in to the idolatries of the church of Rome, and embrace, maintain, and defend the Popish religion, which bears a resemblance to the worship of the Heathens, and is the very image of Rome Pagan; see ( Revelation 13:4 Revelation 13:12 Revelation 13:15 ) and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand;
openly profess Popery, and swear allegiance to the man of sin, and do all they can to support his interest; see ( Revelation 13:16 Revelation 13:17 ) .

Apocalipsis 14:9 In-Context

7 Gritaba a gran voz: «Teman a Dios y denle gloria, porque ha llegado la hora de su juicio. Adoren al que hizo el cielo, la tierra, el mar y los manantiales».

8 Lo seguía un segundo ángel que gritaba: «¡Ya cayó! Ya cayó la gran Babilonia, la que hizo que todas las naciones bebieran el excitante vino de su adulterio».

9 Los seguía un tercer ángel que clamaba a grandes voces: «Si alguien adora a la bestia y a su imagen, y se deja poner en la frente o en la mano la marca de la bestia,

10 beberá también el vino del furor de Dios, que en la copa de su ira está puro, no diluido. Será atormentado con fuego y azufre, en presencia de los santos ángeles y del Cordero.

11 El humo de ese tormento sube por los siglos de los siglos. No habrá descanso ni de día ni de noche para el que adore a la bestia y su imagen, ni para quien se deje poner la marca de su nombre».
