Matthew Poole and continuators on Revelation 14:9

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand ,

God letteth his Servant Iohn know, That during the Reign and Rage of Antichrist, as he would have Ministers of the Gospel that should preach the Truth, and mind Men to keep themselves from Idols, worshipping God alone; and others that should assure them the Papacy should go down, mystical Babylon should fall; so he would have others that should give warning to Men and Women of those dreadful Plagues that should come upon them that entred themselves in this great City, either worshipping the Devil after the Pagan manner, or the Image of the Beast, i. e. committing Idolatry after the Antichristian Popish Fashion, or that should either be subject to this idolatrous Head, or be a Soldier to fight for it. What those Judgments should be, God sheweth in v. 10. and possibly there is not a more severe Denunciation of Judgment in the whole Book of God.
