Vincent, [1886]\nA cloud\nThe expression occurs seven times in Revelation, and in all of them is connected with the Son of Man.\nRainbow\nSee on Rev 4:3.\nPillars of fire\nCompare Rev 1:15.\nIn his hand (\u1f10\u03bd)\nThe roll of Rev 5:1-14 was on the hand (\u1f10\u03c0\u03af, see Rev 5:1), being too large to be grasped within it. The roll was on the right hand; the little book is in the left. See on Rev 10:5.\nCried (\u1f14\u03ba\u03c1\u03b1\u03be\u03b5\u03bd)\nSee on Mar 5:5.\nAs when\nThe when of A.V. is unnecessary.\nRoareth (\u03bc\u03c5\u03ba\u1fb6\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9)\nOnly here in the New Testament. Peter uses \u1f60\u03c1\u03cd\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1\u03b9 for the voice of the lion. See on Pe1 5:8. The verb here is originally applied to the lowing of cattle, expressing the sound, moo-ka-omai. Both Aristophanes and Theocritus use it of the roar of the lion, and the former of thunder. Homer, of the ring of the shield and the hissing of meat on the spit.\nSeven thunders\nThe Jews were accustomed to speak of thunder as \"the seven voices.\" Compare the sevenfold \"voice of the Lord,\" Psa 29:1-11.\nAs usual, interpretation has run wild as to the seven thunders. As a few illustrations may be cited: Vitringa, the seven crusades; Daubuz, the seven kingdoms which received the Reformation; Elliott, the bull fulminated against Luther from the seven-hilled city, etc.\nTo write\nAccording to the injunction in Rev 1:11.\nHis hand\nAdd \u03c4\u1f74\u03bd \u03b4\u03b5\u03be\u03b9\u1f70\u03bd the right, and see on Rev 10:2.

Possibly with allusion to the cry how long (Rev 6:10).\nShall begin to sound ((\u03bc\u03ad\u03bb\u03bb\u1fc3 \u03c3\u03b1\u03bb\u03c0\u03af\u03b6\u03b5\u03bd)\nWrong.
