**Verse 6**
*They are worthy;* they deserve this retribution.

**Verse 11**
*And repented not of their deeds.* Experiencing the bitter fruits and consequences of sin has little tendency to bring men to repentance and salvation in this life; and we have no reason to expect any different result in the life to come. Ruin brought by transgression induces, not sorrow and repentance, but a certain insane resentment and despair.

**Verse 15**
The words of this verse seem to be intended as those of Christ; but their connection with the context is not obvious.

**Verse 16**
*Armageddon.* The meaning of this name is not understood, although various conjectural explanations of it have been attempted.

**Verse 19**
*Divided into three parts;* that is, perhaps, broken up by the earthquake, and destroyed.

**Verse 21**
That the outpouring of the seven vials is intended to represent a series of judgments and calamities brought upon the enemies of God, is very plain; but in applying the several symbols to specific events in history which have since occurred, commentators have been extremely divided in opinion.
