Rev. 16:21• 21And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. (Rev. 16:21)
• The hail, in smiting plagues and sweeping judgments (Isa. 28:17). (“Job 38-42:6” by S. Ridout)
• This thought is emphasized in the hail, the frozen drops of rain. Those gentle showers which water the earth that it may bring forth its fruits, turned into death-dealing wrath! For a Christ-rejecting world there is laid up “wrath against the day of wrath,” of which the hail is a figure (Ex. 9:22; Hag. 2:17; Ps. 18:12; Rev. 16:21). And yet these fearful judgments—God’s “strange work” —will tell forth the glory of a righteousness, inflexible as well as full of love. “Praise Him... fire and hail; snow and vapors; stormy wind fulfilling His word” (Ps. 148:8). (“Job 38-42:6” by S. Ridout)
