ヨハネの黙示録 18:15-17 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 18:1-24

The overthrow of wickedness. This, in symbolic form, is the real subject of this chapter. Wickedness shall be utterly and forever destroyed. I. A GLORIOUS ANGEL PROCLAIMS THIS . (Cf. Revelation 18:1 as to this angel.) Then such overthrow must be: 1 . Righteous. 2 . Blessed. 3 . Divine. Had it been possible for men to affect this, it would have been done long since. II. GOD 'S PEOPLE RECEIVE COMMAND . 1 . To separate themselves from sin. From... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 18:9-24

Lamentations over the fall of Babylon. In our previous study of "Babylon the great," we had occasion to remark that there were three forms under which a great Babylon might be recognized. 1 . In that worldwide spirit of alienation from God which has corrupted every form of human life everywhere. 2 . In any Church which, allying itself with the world power, fornicates therewith, and puts itself on the throne instead of God. 3 . Most manifestly of all in the papal Church, where... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 18:9-24

The fall of the corrupt in human life. "And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her," etc. All along through my remarks on the Apocalyptic visions of this book I have not only discarded any attempt at a literal interpretation, but have affirmed that, as a rule, such interpretations of dreams or visions can seldom, if ever, from the nature of the case, be correct; and more especially so with the visions and dreams recorded in this book. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 18:15

The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her (cf. Revelation 18:11 ), shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment. The future tense is now used (see on Revelation 18:9 ); cf. Revelation 18:10 , where the same thing is related of' the kings. Weeping and wailing (cf. Revelation 18:9 , where, however, we have κόψονται , "wail," instead of, as here, πενθοῦντες , "mourn:" cf. also Revelation 18:11 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 18:16

And saying, Alas, alas that great city! Most authorities omit "and." Woe, woe, the great city! (nominative case); exactly as in Revelation 18:10 . That was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls. She that was clothed, etc. Decked; "gilded," as in the Revised Version margin, as in Revelation 17:4 . The identity of description of the woman and Babylon is another proof of the essentially identical nature of the two (see... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 18:17

For in one hour so great riches is come to nought; because ( ὅτι ) in one hour was made desolate that so great wealth. This is given as the reason of the "Woe, woe!" of Revelation 18:16 , and is to be connected with the preceding clauses. (On "one hour," see Revelation 18:10 , where the same reason is given as in this verse.) And every shipmaster; pilot; found only here and in Acts 27:11 . And all the company in ships; and every one who saileth to a place. Such is... read more

And saying, Alas, alas ... - notes on Revelation 18:10.That was clothed in fine linen - In the previous description Revelation 18:12-13, these are mentioned as articles of traffic; here the city, under the image of a female, is represented as clothed in the most rich and frivolous of these articles.And purple, and scarlet - See the notes on Revelation 17:3-4. Compare Revelation 18:12 of this chapter.And decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls - notes on Revelation 17:4. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 18:17

For in one hour - In a very brief period - so short, that it seemed to them to be but one hour. In the prediction Revelation 18:8, it is said that it would be “in one day” (see the notes on that place); here it is said that, to the on-lookers, it seemed to be but an hour. There is no inconsistency, therefore, between the two statements.So great riches is come to nought - All the accumulated wealth of so great and rich a city. This should have been united with Revelation 18:16, as it is a part... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 18:15-21

Revelation 18:15-21. The merchants, ship-masters, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, weep and wail For they can no longer import or export commodities for her, or convey strangers to and fro, for there is an end of all her gains, wealth, and glory. These lamentations are copied from the like lamentations over Tyre, (Ezekiel 26:0. and 27.,) and are equal to the most mournful strains of the Greek tragedians over Thebes or Troy. In all, they stand afar off In a mixture of terror and... read more
