And it shall come to pass in that day, etc.] When the vials are pouring out: [that] a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; the Targum renders it, a great tumult, or noise of killing; and the Septuagint, an ecstasy: it refers to the earthquake, and the slaughter of seven thousand men of name, and the fright upon that, (<661113>Revelation 11:13) and they shall lay hold everyone on the hand of his neighbour, and shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour; there will be a revolution, upon this tumult, in several of the antichristian states; and the kings of them shall hate the whore, make her desolate, eat her flesh, and burn her with fire, (<661716>Revelation 17:16) or, “his hand shall be cut off by the hand of his neighbour”f309; (see <381117>Zechariah 11:17), the power of antichrist shall be destroyed by neighbouring Christian princes.
