Apocalipse 14:12 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 14:12

Here is the patience of the saints
That which has required their patience, and about which it has been exercised, what they have been patiently waiting for, namely, the destruction of antichrist; and now it will be come, and patience will have its perfect work; see ( Revelation 13:10 ) here are they that keep the commandments of God;
and not the inventions of men, and the traditions of antichrist, but the ordinances of the Gospel, as they were at first delivered, without any adulteration and corruption; and who kept them because they were enjoined by God, and from a principle of love to him, and with a view to his glory: these are distinguished from the worshippers of the beast, and were preserved throughout the apostasy; these are the witnesses who will now be risen, and the remnant of the woman's seed, with whom the dragon made war by the beast: and these are the hundred and forty and four thousand who are before described; these will be in a very glorious and comfortable church state; the word will be purely preached, and the ordinances truly administered, and the doctrines of the Gospel will be heartily embraced and professed: it follows, and the faith of Jesus;
meaning either the grace of faith, of which Jesus is the object, author, and finisher; and which these saints will have from him, and exercise upon him in a very strong and comfortable manner; and which, and the profession of it, they will hold fast to the end; or else the doctrine of faith, concerning the person, office, and grace of Jesus Christ, the faith once delivered to the saints, which they will have contended for, stood fast in, and now will hold in a pure conscience: these seem to be the words of John, declaring the faith, patience, and obedience of the saints of these times.

Apocalipse 14:12 In-Context

10 também o tal beberá do vinho da ira de Deus, que se acha preparado sem mistura, no cálice da sua ira; e será atormentado com fogo e enxofre diante dos santos anjos e diante do Cordeiro.

11 A fumaça do seu tormento sobe para todo o sempre; e não têm repouso nem de dia nem de noite os que adoram a besta e a sua imagem, nem aquele que recebe o sinal do seu nome.

12 Aqui está a perseverança dos santos, daqueles que guardam os mandamentos de Deus e a fé em Jesus.

13 Então ouvi uma voz do céu, que dizia: Escreve: Bem-aventurados os mortos que desde agora morrem no Senhor. Sim, diz o Espírito, para que descansem dos seus trabalhos, pois as suas obras os acompanham.

14 E olhei, e eis uma nuvem branca, e assentado sobre a nuvem um semelhante a filho de homem, que tinha sobre a cabeça uma coroa de ouro, e na mão uma foice afiada.
