Commentaries on Revelation 10:11
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11Thou must prophesy again - Thou must write, not only for the instruction of the Jews in Palestine, but of those in the different provinces, as well as the heathens and heathen emperors and potentates in general.

Let us seek to be taught by Christ, and to…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 11Unlike Ezekiel, who prophesied only for Israel, John must prophesy about (or against) all the people of the world. There is debate about whether "about" or "against" is the best translation. "About" allows for both promise and judgment (see both in Revelation 21:24–27).Read the comment
