Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 18:5

for her sins have reached even unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.For her sins have reached even unto heaven ... There is something resembling the quality of "glue" in the metaphor here. As Beckwith said, "The thought is not that the sins cleave to the skies, but that they cleave to each other, forming a mass reaching to heaven."[29] Moffatt saw it as a "gluing together of the leaves comprising a roll";[30] Rome's sins would make a roll reaching all the way to heaven!

Revelation 18:1-8.

Her sins, like the bricks used to build the tower of Babel (Genesis 11:3-4), have accumulated so they finally reach heaven. She has exhausted God’s patience (cf. Jeremiah 51:9). God has noticed and remembered her sins, and because He is righteous, He must judge them. read more
