 "A shout of command." The word employed, being peculiar in the New Testament to this passage, cannot but have special force. Outside Scripture it is used for a general's call to his soldiers, for an admiral's to his sailors, or sometimes more generally as a cry to incite or encourage. It seems most appropriate as conveying a word of command to those in immediate relationship. Not a hint drops of a shout for the world, for men at large, to bear. (On 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 by W. Kelly)
 If angels now minister to the saints, as we know they did to Him also, how suitable to hear of "archangel's voice" when they thus gather round Him! (On 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 by W. Kelly)
 The Lord Himself will come as the Head of His heavenly army, dispersed for a time, to gather them to Himself. He gives the word. The voice of the archangel passes it on, and the trumpet of God is sounded. (1 Thessalonians 4 by J.N. Darby)
 It is a solemn act of God’s power, which seals the Christians’ life and the work of God, and brings the former into the glory of Christ as His heavenly companions. (1 Thessalonians 4 by J.N. Darby)
 The Apostle declares that the dead saints were in the same position as Jesus who had died. God had not left Him in the grave; nor would He those who had, like Him, been there. (1 Thessalonians 4 by J.N. Darby)
 "With archangel's voice," brings in the highest of heavenly creature glory to attend the Lord on that transcendent occasion. (On 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 by W. Kelly)
