Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Robertson: Rev 22:15 - Without

Without ( exō ).

Outside the holy city, with which compare Rev 21:8, Rev 21:27. Dustierdieck supplies an imperative: "Out, ye dogs."

Robertson: Rev 22:15 - The dogs

The dogs ( hoi kunes ).

Not literal dogs, but the morally impure (Deu 23:18; 2Ki 8:13; Psa 22:17, Psa 22:21; Mat 7:6; Mar 7:27; Phi 3:3). Dogs in the Oriental cities are the scavengers and excite unspeakable contempt.

Robertson: Rev 22:15 - The sorcerers

The sorcerers ( hoi pharmakoi ).

As in Rev 21:8, where are listed "the fornicators and the murderers and the idolaters,"all "outside"the holy city here as there "in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, the second death."Both are pictures (symbolic language) of hell, the eternal absence from fellowship with God. Another time Jesus spoke of "the outer darkness"(eis to skotos to exōteron , Mat 8:12; Mat 22:13; Mat 25:30), outside of lighted house, as the abode of the damned. Another symbol is the worm that dies not (Mar 9:48).

Robertson: Rev 22:15 - Every one that loveth and maketh a lie

Every one that loveth and maketh a lie ( pās philōn kai poiōn pseudos ).

An interpretation of pāsin tois pseudesin (all liars) of Rev 21:8 and of poiōn pseudos (doing a lie) of Rev 21:27. Satan is the father of lying (Joh 8:44) and Satan’ s home is a congenial place for those who love and practise lying (2Th 2:12). See 1Jo 1:6 for not doing the truth and see also Rom 1:25; Eph 4:25.

Vincent: Rev 22:15 - Dogs

Dogs ( οἱ κύνες )

The A.V. omits the article " the dogs." Compare Phi 3:2. This was the term of reproach with which the Judaizers stigmatized the Gentiles as impure. In the Mosaic law the word is used to denounce the moral profligacies of heathen worship (Deu 23:18). Compare Mat 15:26. Here the word is used of those whose moral impurity excludes them from the New Jerusalem. " As a term of reproach, the word on the lips of a Jew, signified chiefly impurity; of a Greek, impudence . The herds of dogs which prowl about Eastern cities, without a home and without an owner, feeding on the refuse and filth of the streets, quarreling among themselves, and attacking the passer-by, explain both applications of the image" (Lightfoot, on Phi 3:2).

Vincent: Rev 22:15 - Sorcerers

Sorcerers

See on Rev 9:21, and compare Rev 21:8.

Vincent: Rev 22:15 - Whoremongers

Whoremongers ( πόρνοι )

Rev., better, fornicators .

Vincent: Rev 22:15 - Maketh

Maketh ( ποιῶν )

Or doeth . Compare doeth the truth , Joh 3:21; 1Jo 1:6. See on Joh 3:21.

Wesley: Rev 22:15 - Without are dogs

The sentence in the original is abrupt, as expressing abhorrence. The gates are ever open; but not for dogs; fierce and rapacious men.

JFB: Rev 22:15 - But

So Coptic. But A, B, HIPPOLYTUS, ANDREAS, and CYPRIAN omit.

JFB: Rev 22:15 - dogs

Greek, "the dogs"; the impure, filthy (Rev 22:11; compare Phi 3:2).

JFB: Rev 22:15 - maketh

Including also "whosoever practiceth a lie" [W. KELLY].

Clarke: Rev 22:15 - Without are dogs

Without are dogs - All those who are uncircumcised in heart. The Jews call all the uncircumcised dogs. "Who is a dog? Ans. He who is not circumcised."Pirkey Elieser, chap. 29

Clarke: Rev 22:15 - And sorcerers

And sorcerers - See the note on Rev 21:8.

Defender: Rev 22:15 - dogs

The inclusion of "dogs" along with whoremongers, murderers and other gross sinners would indicate that the sin of being a "dog" is another flagrant perversion of God's moral law. The most likely connotation of such a pejorative would be the sin of sodomy, commonly practiced by the licentious Gentiles of John's time in their pagan temple worship (Rom 1:26, Rom 1:27). This meaning is derived from God's command in Deu 23:7, Deu 23:18 : "There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel. Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the Lord thy God." The sin of homosexuality, as well as prostitution of any kind, is "abomination to the Lord," and whatsoever "worketh abomination" shall not enter the city (Rev 21:27)."

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Haydock: Rev 22:15 - Without

Without are dogs; meaning unbelievers, and whosever loveth and maketh a lie, i.e. all the wicked, who have not walked in the ways of truth. (Witham)

Gill: Rev 22:15 - For without are dogs // And sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters // And whosoever loveth and maketh a lie

For without are dogs,.... That is, without the holy city are such persons who are comparable to dogs for their filthiness, impudence, and voraciousness, as are persecutors, heretics, and apostates, Mat 7:6. Some think Sodomites are intended, as in Deu 23:18. So Abarbinel and others interpret the law; and who abound in the Roman jurisdiction, called therefore Sodom, Rev 11:8 and indeed all wicked men, who will be cast out into outer darkness, may be signified hereby. The Jews say ^k,

"when a man dies, if he be worthy (or righteous) he descends in the likeness of a lion to receive "his" soul, but if not, in the likeness of "a dog", concerning which David says, Psa 22:20.''

And sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters; characters of the antichristian party, who will have no place in this city, or glorious kingdom of Christ; See Gill on Rev 21:8.

And whosoever loveth and maketh a lie; who loves both to invent and tell lies, and loves to hear them told by others; meaning more especially the doctrinal lies of antichrist, which are spoken in hypocrisy by him, and his followers are given up to believe.
