Inhabiters of the earth
Inhabiters of the earth
A designation of those mentioned in the Revelation, who, notwithstanding the successive judgements that fall upon them, cling to the earth as settlers there, and against whom ‘woe, woe, woe’ is pronounced. Rev 8:13; Rev 17:2. During Christ’s rejection from the earth God’s call has been to heaven, hence to have the character of dwelling on earth is a denial of the heavenly calling. In Rev 12:12 the Editors omit the words ‘inhabiters of.’
