AMP Footnotes
Lit soul.
Lit the rising sun. Using this phrase, or just the rising, was the ancient way of referring to the east. A dry Euphrates would enable massive armies to travel quickly from the region of Iraq (Babylonia) to territory north of Israel (Syria) in preparation for the battle at Har-Magedon (v 16).
This is the third of the seven promised blessings. See note 1:3.
These are metaphorical statements referring to a believer who is always expecting the return of Christ, and maintains a lifestyle (the clothing) of which he will not be ashamed when that day comes.
The name means “mountain of Megiddo” and indicates a region west and slightly south of the Sea of Galilee.
A talent weighs about a hundred pounds.
