Revelation 18:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 18:5

3 For all the nations ^ahave drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, ^band the merchants of the earth have become rich through the¹ abundance of her luxury.”

4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, ^a“Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.

5 ^aFor her sins have reached to heaven, and ^bGod has remembered her iniquities.

6 ^aRender to her just as she rendered¹ to you, and repay her double according to her works; ^bin the cup which she has mixed, ^cmix double for her.

7 ^aIn the measure that she glorified herself and lived¹ luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as ^bqueen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’

8 Therefore her plagues will come ^ain one day—death and mourning and famine. And ^bshe will be utterly burned with fire, ^cfor strong is the Lord God who¹ judges her.

The World Mourns Babylon’s Fall

9 ^a“The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her ^bwill weep and lament for her, ^cwhen they see the smoke of her burning,

10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ^a‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! ^bFor in one hour your judgment has come.’
