Matthew Poole and continuators on Revelation 14:12

12 Here is the patience of the saints : here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus .

God having in the former Chapter shewn his Servant Iohn the Reign and Rage of Antichrist in his time of 42 Months, and in this Chapter, what shall be the end both of him, and all his Adherents, here concludeth with telling him, This is a Period of time wherein the Patience of his holy Ones will be tried, both in waiting for their Deliverance, and also in their patient induring Antichrists Oppression and Tyranny.

And here will be the trial of Men, whether they will keep to the Faith of Christ, and Obedience of God's Commandments, by comming out, or keeping in this spiritual Babylon: Those that come out of her will shew both; those that keep in that idolatrous Communion, will shew neither.
