Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
A second time (deuteron). Adverbial accusative, a heavenly encore.
They say (eirhkan). Perfect active indicative of eipon. "They have said," not an "aoristic" perfect for "they say," but vivid dramatic perfect as in Revelation 5:7 and the form in -an instead of -asin as in Revelation 18:3; Revelation 21:6.
Goeth up (anabainei). Linear present active indicative of anabainw, "keeps on going up," "a last touch to the description already given (Revelation 18:21 ff.) of Babylon's utter collapse" (Swete). The smoke of the city's ruin (Revelation 14:11; Revelation 18:8 f., Revelation 18:18) instead of incense (Revelation 8:4). Cf. Isaiah 34:9 f.
