**Verse 3**
*No man could learn that song;* could experience the joy which that song expressed.

**Verse 4**
*Not defiled with women;* with idolatry, a sin often characterized in the Scriptures by the metaphor here employed.--*Virgins;* pure in their fidelity to the worship of Jehovah.

**Verse 13**
*Their works;* the memory and reward of their works.

**Verse 16**
*And the earth was reaped.* This reaping by the Lamb represents, perhaps, the gathering of the good, as the second reaping ([Revelation 14:17-19](../../../kjv/revelation/14/17-19)) plainly denotes the general summoning of the wicked to judgment and retribution.

**Verse 20**
*Unto the horse-bridles;* that is, in depth. The bridle of the horse dipping into the surface of water through which the rider is passing, indicates to him the depth of the flood.--*A thousand and six hundred furlongs;* over a vast extent of ground. These expressions are designed to indicate the greatness and the extent of the destruction with which the enemies of God will finally be overwhelmed.
