Matthew Poole and continuators on Revelation 12:10

10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven , Now is come salvation , and strength , and the kingdom of our God i, and the power of his Christ : for the accuser of our brethren is cast down who accused them before out God day and night .

Iohn undoubtedly heard this Voice as in the third Heaven, whither he was caught; but it is not only expressive of the Joy and Satisfaction which the glorious Angels, and glorified Saints had, upon their knowledge of what was done upon the Earth, but prophetical of the great Joy should be over all the Church, upon Constantine's stopping the Persecution, and restoring Peace to the Church, by casting out all Pagan Idolatries and Superstitions.

Temporal Salvation, and Deliverance from Persecutors.

How God hath shewed himself a strong and mighty God.

Now Christ hath shewn his Power.

For the Devil, who incessantly accuseth the Saints, is overcome. Two things are here observable, 1. That the holy Angels call the Saints Brethren. 2. That the Accusers of Christians, for their Piety towards God, are of their Father the Devil, for his Works they do. Informers show who is their Father, by accusing others, by murthering the Servants of God. They differ no more than as elder and younger Brethren, both are Children of the same Father.

And the King of Kings who reigneth over all the Earth.
