ACC ~ Revelation 11 v5

RECEIVING THE SAME HARM. TYCONIUS: This means that should anyone wish to harm the church, as one condemned he is consumed by a fire, which harms in the very same manner as a sort of reciprocal judgment. That is, he receives justly that very thing which he desired to inflict unjustly. Or, in a good sense this means that through the prayers of the church’s mouth one is consumed spiritually by fire so that one might be changed for the better, since when one is turned away from error, error ceases and one is saved. COMMENTARY ON THE APOCALYPSE 11.5.

THOSE WHO HARM THE CHURCH. CAESARIUS OF ARLES: Should anyone harm the church or wish to harm her, through the prayers of her mouth he shall be consumed by a divine fire either in the present age for his correction or in the future age for his damnation. EXPOSITION ON THE APOCALYPSE 11.5, HOMILY 8.
