The "woes" are part of a series of judgments that God unleashes upon the earth during the end times. The first woe is associated with the fifth trumpet, and the second woe with the sixth trumpet. These woes are characterized by intense suffering and calamity. The second woe includes the release of four angels bound at the Euphrates River, leading to a massive army and widespread destruction. This reflects the severity of God's judgment and the fulfillment of prophetic events. The passing of the second woe indicates a transition in the narrative, moving towards the final stages of God's plan.<p><b>Behold, the third woe is coming shortly.</b><br>The use of "behold" serves as a call to attention, emphasizing the imminence and seriousness of what is to follow. The third woe corresponds to the seventh trumpet, which heralds the final series of judgments known as the bowl judgments. These are the most severe and lead directly to the return of Christ and the establishment of His kingdom. The phrase "coming shortly" underscores the urgency and inevitability of these events. This aligns with the prophetic nature of Revelation, where time is often compressed to convey the certainty of God's plan. The third woe culminates in the ultimate defeat of evil and the fulfillment of God's promises, as seen in the subsequent chapters of Revelation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_second_woe.htm">The Second Woe</a></b><br>This refers to the second of three woes announced by an eagle flying in mid-heaven in <a href="/revelation/8-13.htm">Revelation 8:13</a>.

(Omit the word "and," which weakens the proclamation.) The eagle flying in mid-heaven had announced the three woe trumpets. A voice now reminds us that two of these had passed, just as at the close of the fifth trumpet a voice proclaimed that the first woe was past. We must remember, too, that the angel which descended from heaven declared that the end should not be delayed beyond the sounding of the seventh trumpet; the last woe trumpet, therefore, is the trumpet which will usher in the closing woe and the finishing of the mystery of God. Whatever view we adopt concerning the interpretation of the Apocalypse must be governed by the plainly declared fact that the seventh trumpet brings us to the very end. The next verse only serves to make this plainer.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/revelation/11.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 14.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">The second woe is past.</span> The full description of this woe occupies <a href="/revelation/9-13.htm">Revelation 9:13-11:14</a>. The account describes the natural spiritual punishment which is inflicted upon men in consequence of their sins (<a href="/revelation/9-13.htm">Revelation 9:13-21</a>). This is insufficient to lead men to avert the final judgment by timely repentance. We have then a further description of God's long suffering, and the rejection of his mercy, accompanied by an assurance of the safety of the faithful (<a href="/revelation/10-1.htm">Revelation 10:1-11:10</a>). This brings us to the end of the world (<a href="/revelation/11-11.htm">Revelation 11:11-14</a>), just as the sixth seal led to the same termination (<a href="/revelation/7-12.htm">Revelation 7:12-17</a>), and both are followed by the seventh, which gives a reference to the eternal peace of heaven. <span class="cmt_word">And, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.</span> Omit "and." It is not said, in the case of the other "woes," that they come <span class="accented">quickly.</span> In his description of the preservation and glorification of the Church under the form of the "witnesses," the writer had been led to anticipate in some degree what follows under the seventh trumpet. Thus the seventh comes <span class="accented">quickly.</span> When events have progressed so far that the faithful Church is ascended to heaven with her Lord, then immediate]y follows the eternal rest set forth under the seventh trumpet. But this period is described as "the third woe," because it is the period of time final punishment of the wicked; and it is the judgment of the ungodly which is the theme of the trumpet visions, although mention is incidentally made of the preservation and reward of the just. This is the time foretold in <a href="/revelation/10-7.htm">Revelation 10:7</a>. Just as in the case of the seals, the period of the seventh seal is recorded but not described, so here, in the case of the seventh trumpet, its advent is recorded, and its nature is indicated in ver. 18, but no further description is given of the <span class="accented">woe</span>; only a slight reference to the bliss of those who are secure in heaven. Thus St. John does not attempt a complete picture of either the blessings of heaven or the woes of hell. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/revelation/11-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">The</span><br /><span class="grk">Ἡ</span> <span class="translit">(Hē)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article - Nominative Feminine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> </span><span class="str2">The, the definite article.
