For the voice, of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth, etc.] That is, antichrist, to whom a mouth speaking blasphemies has been given, and which he has opened in blasphemy against God, attributing that to himself which belongs to God; blaspheming his name, his tabernacle, and them that well in heaven; (see <661305>Revelation 13:5,6 <530204>2 Thessalonians 2:4); by reason of the enemy and avenger; which are very proper characters of antichrist, who is the enemy of Christ and of his people, and breathes out vengeance against them; as the same titles are also given to the Scribes and Pharisees, the implacable enemies of Christ, (<190802>Psalm 8:2).
