Matthew Poole and continuators on Revelation 11:10

10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another , because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt upon the earth .

It is plain by the repeating of the same words in the close of the Verse, that by those that dwell upon the earth are meant earthly carnal Men, whether Papists or Atheists; Men that are mad upon their Lusts; for these are those in whose Consciences faithful and powerful Preaching breeds a torment and uneasiness, so as they always count Godly Ministers their Enemies (as Ahab told Elijah) and are not able to bear their Words (as the Israelites could not bear the words of Amos.)

These therefore shall keep Holiday, when they see these their Enemies conquered, and shew all signs and expressions of Joy. These Preachers were they that hindred them from a quiet sleep in their Beds of Lusts,

And though they fought against them only with a Fire going out of their Mouths, as Prophets declaring the Will of God to be contrary to their lewd practices, and denouncing God's Wrath against those that did such things; yet their Preaching made their Heads ake, partly by alarming their Consciences so as they often flew in their faces; and by it they were exposed to the reproach of People, as living directly contrary to the Divine Rule, and in defiance of his Law; thus they torment wicked Men, who therefore always did, and always will triumph in their suppression, or in any evil that shall betide them. And as they see their suppression greater than ever before, (as it will be undoubtedly during these three years and an half,) so the Triumph of lewd and wicked Men will be proportionably more, tho it will be but like a Widows Joy for a short time, for it will appear that their dead Bodies were not put into the Grave.
