‏ Revelation of John 15:2-4

Verse 2. A sea of glass] A spacious lucid plain around the throne, from which fiery coruscations were continually emitted: or, the reflection of the light upon this lucid plain produced the prismatic colours of the most vivid rainbow.

Over the beast, and over his image] See the notes on Re 13:1-18.

Verse 3. They sing the song of Moses] That which Moses sang, Ex 15:1, when he and the Israelites, by the miraculous power of God, had got safely through the Red Sea, and saw their enemies all destroyed.

And the song of the Lamb] The same song adapted to the state of the suffering, but now delivered Christians.

Great and marvellous are thy works] God's works are descriptive of his infinite power and wisdom.

Lord God Almighty] Nearly the same as Jehovah, God of hosts.

Just and true are thy ways] Every step God takes in grace or providence is according to justice, and he carefully accomplishes all his threatenings and all his promises; to this he is bound by his truth.

Verse 4. Who shall not fear thee] That is, All should fear and worship this true God, because he is just and true and holy; and his saints should love and obey him, because he is their King; and they and all men should acknowledge his judgments, because they are made manifest.
