GOD’S JUDGMENTS DO NOT CONVERT MEN.

Barnes’ note on Rev. 9:20, reads as follows:—

“And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues. One-third part is represented as swept off, and it might have been expected that a salutary effect would have been produced on the remainder, in reforming them, and restraining them from error and sin. The writer proceeds to state, however, that these judgments did not have the effect which might reasonably have been anticipated. No reformation followed; there was no abandonment of the prevailing forms of iniquity; there was no change in their idolatry and superstition.”
