All Commentaries on Revelation 16:4 Go To Revelation 16
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Upon the rivers. That is, on the Roman provinces in Italy, and Rome itself. This is the last stroke employed by the Almighty for the total destruction of Rome. The divine judgment being executed, the Angel of the waters, that is, the Angel that presided over the Roman states, cries out, (ver. 5, 6.) thou art just (Pastorini)
