Bible Commentary for Revelation 11:9

Wesley's Notes for Revelation 11:9


11:9 Three days and a half - So exactly are the times set down in this prophecy. If we suppose this time began in the evening, and ended in the morning, and included (which is no way impossible) Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the weekly festival of the Turkish people, the Jewish tribes, and the Christian tongues; then all these together, with the heathen nations, would have full leisure to gaze upon and rejoice over them.



People's Bible Notes for Revelation 11:9


Re 11:9 And they . . . shall see their dead bodies three days and an half. "Look upon their dead bodies" (Revised Version). During a period of three and a half days their bodies shall be seen in the street of the city slain, and all shall see them. They shall be conspicuous. This would seem to point to a period of three and one-half years.
