Revelation 16:17

“And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air, etc.] Or “upon the air”, as the Alexandrian copy, Syriac and Arabic versions, read; by which is meant the kingdom of Satan, he being the prince of the power of the air, (<490202>Ephesians 2:2) not that he has power over the air, to raise or lay winds and storms in it at pleasure; but he is so called because he is the prince of that posse of devils, the principalities and powers of darkness, that have their dwelling in the air; hence the air, encompassing the whole earth, stands for the kingdom of Satan all the world over: and this vial differs from all the rest; that whereas the rest only affect some part or branch of the antichristian…”

“angel--so ANDREAS. But A, B, Vulgate, and Syriac omit it. into--so ANDREAS (Greek, "eis"). But A and B, "upon" (Greek, "epi"). great--so B, Vulgate, Syriac, Coptic, and ANDREAS. But A omits. of heaven--so B and ANDREAS But A, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic omit. It is done--"It is come to pass." God's voice as to the final consummation, as Jesus' voice on the cross when the work of expiation was completed, "It is finished."”

“And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air - This introduces the final catastrophe in regard to the “beast” - his complete and utter overthrow, accompanied with tremendous judgments. Why the vial was poured into the air is not stated. The most probable supposition as to the idea intended to be represented is, that, as storms and tempests seem to be engendered in the air, so this destruction would come from some supernatural cause, as if the whole atmosphere should be filled with wind and storm; and a furious and desolating whirlwind should be aroused by some invisible power. And there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven - The voice of God. See the notes on Revelation…”

“And the seventh poured out his phial upon the air - Which encompasses the whole earth. This is the most weighty phial of all, and seems to take up more time than any of the preceding. It is done - What was commanded, Rev 16:1. The phials are poured out. Revelation 16:18”

“16:17 When the seventh . . . bowl is poured out, an unexpected event occurs. The enemies of God had assembled themselves for battle, but when the decisive moment arrives, instead of the battle comes the shout, “It is finished!” Jesus uttered these same words from the cross when he had finished his work (John 19:30). No one can ultimately fight God. Therefore, this scene pictures an end to rebellion against God. What remains are various descriptions of the end.”
