Revelation 11:13 Revelation 11:13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. This verse contains the concomitant effects of the witnesses’ ascension. And the same hour (that is, at the same time) there was a great earthquake, viz. great commotions, overturnings, and terrible shakings of nations, in the kingdom of the beast. \ And the tenth part of the city fell This city is that city \ mystical Babylon; that great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth. \ And the tenth part of that great city is one of the ten kingdoms, whose kings have formerly given their power, and strength, and kingdom unto the beast, \ till the words of God shall be fulfilled: which (most probably) is the Kingdom of England; which will then certainly fall; that is, either fall off totally and finally from mystical Babylon, the Pope and Church of Rome; or else fall, that is to say, it will be utterly ruined and destroyed for adhering to, partaking with and subjecting under the anti-Christian yoke, power, and dominion of the beast and whore of Rome. For when the Lord shall glorify the house of his glory \ then that nation and kingdom that will not serve him shall perish, and be utterly wasted. \ But my opinion is, that England, Scotland, and Ireland will then fall off totally and finally from the Pope, and Church of Rome; And that the King will join with those other kings of the earth, that then shall hate the whore (mystical Babylon) and make her desolate, and naked; and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire \ as God hath revealed and declared they shall do. And in the earthquake were slain seven thousand names of men: onomata anyrwpwn that is, a great number of Roman grandees, renowned papists, cardinals, prelates and romish clergy men, popish bishops, priests, etc. And the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. The remnant, that is, the rest of the men of name, which were not killed in this earthquake, were affrighted; that is, amazed, and converted from popery, to the glory of God.
