Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 18:9-24

Reactions to Babylon’s fall (18:9-19:5)Those who grew prosperous through their commerce with the city weep and mourn at its destruction. The rulers of the nations stand afar off, watching the destruction but doing nothing to help the city in its distress (9-10).

Like the rulers they are guided by motives that are entirely selfish. They are distressed... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 18:9-20

Revelation 18:9-20. And the kings of the earth, &c.— In the very solemn manner described in the verses before us, by an angel, and by a voice from heaven, is declared the fall of Rome, and her destruction by fire; and then are set forth the consequences of her fall, the lamentations of some, and the rejoicings of others. The kings of her communion, who have committed fornication, and lived deliciously with her, bewail and lament her fall, (Revelation 18:9-10.) But what kings were they, who... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 18:12-13

Isaiah 23; Ezekiel 16:9-13; Ezekiel 27:12-24). There are seven categories into which these 29 items fall. These categories are precious metals and gems, clothing, furnishings, spices, food, animals and implements, and people. People are even buying and selling other human beings."Persons are ’bought and sold’ (and... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 18:1-24

The Fall of BabylonIn the last c., the fall of Rome, and the manner of its fall, were prophetically announced.

Yet they serve their purpose in encouraging God’s people to faith and endurance when at any time wickedness and worldliness... read more
