People's Commentary (NT)
Revelation 9:21
Neither repented they of their murders. In the Crusade against
the Albigenses, conducted by Rome in the thirteenth century, it is
estimated that one million martyrs perished.
Nor of their sorceries. Tricks to deceive, so characteristic of
the priests.
Nor of their fornications. This term may mean spiritual
fornication or apostasy, and it may mean literal fornication. In either
sense it is true of the religious features of the fifteenth century.
Nor of their thefts. Thefts in resorting to deceptions and
impostures to extort money from the people. Tetzel's mission to Germany
early in the sixteenth century is an illustration. Instead of
repentance after the great judgment on the Eastern Church, the Western
Church grew worse and worse.
