8And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. And I fell at his feet to worship him.

Commentaries on Revelation 19:10

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10I fell at his feet to worship him - Great as this angel was, St. John could not mistake him either for Jesus Christ, or for God the Father; nor was his prostration intended as an act of religious worship. It was merely an act of that sort of reverence which any Asiatic would pay to a superior. His mistake was, the considering that he was under obligation to the angel for the information which he had now received. This mistake the angel very properly…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10And I fell at his feet to worship him - At the feet of the angel. See the notes on Revelation 19:9. This is a common posture of adoration in the East. See Rosenmuller‘s “Morgenland, in loco.” notes on 1 Corinthians 14:25.

Or it may be that…Read the comment

It exemplifies the corrupt tendencies of our fallen nature that even John, an apostle, should have all but fallen into…Read the comment
