Revelation 19:15

ὀξεῖα. B2 vg[729] prefix, Primas[730] substitutes δίστομος.

[729] Vulgate.
[730] Primasius, edited by Haussleiter.

τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς ὀργῆς. Cyp[731] Primas[732] syr[733] read irae; א sah. Or. put τοῦ θ. after τῆς ὀργῆς; 95 before τοῦ οἴνου.

[731] St Cyprian as quoted by Haussleiter.
[732] Primasius, edited by Haussleiter.
[733] Syriac.

15. ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ. Song of Solomon 1:16, proving, if proof were needed, the identity of the “Son of Man” of that passage with “the Word of God” of this. For the meaning, see the notes there.

πατάξῃ τὰ ἔθνη. God is said to smite men with plagues, e.g. Zechariah 14:18, but nowhere else with a sword. Are we to infer from 1 Chronicles 21:12 what this sword will be? Certainly the ascription to the Lord of the fierce struggles of a human warrior is markedly avoided.

καὶ αὐτὸς ποιμανεῖ. Lit. “shall be their shepherd,” as in Revelation 2:27; Revelation 12:5. Of course in all three places the reference is to Psalms 2:9.

καὶ αὐτὸς πατεῖ. Isaiah 63:2. The twice repeated pronoun is very emphatic: it is He who shall fulfil the promised vengeance for which the elect have cried so long.

τὴν ληνὸν τοῦ οἵνου τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς ὀργῆς. Cf. Revelation 14:8; Revelation 14:10; Revelation 14:19; Revelation 16:19.
