Revelation 18:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 18:6

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.
