The warning voice from heaven: v. 4. And I heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. v. 5. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. v. 6. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works; in the cup which she hath filled, fill to her double. v. 7. How much she hath glorified herself and lived deliciously, so... read more

“Her Sins Have Reached unto Heaven” Revelation 18:1-13 We have seen that the scarlet woman represents the false religion of human wit and fashion. It is found in every age. There is not a city, town, or village where it does not seek to allure men from Christ. The mischief is that so many really godly people are misled by it. In this they resemble Obadiah, who hid the prophets in a cave and fed them but was hand and glove with Ahab. To all such, who are endeavoring to keep in touch with the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Revelation 18:1-24

The vision of the destruction of Babylon as directly resulting from the government of God is now given. It is announced, "Fallen is Babylon." Her condition is described as that of a habitation of demons, the prison of unclean spirits. Nations, kings, and merchants who have lived and ruled and traded on the principles of Babylon are involved in her fallen condition. A remnant is called out from Babylon before the destruction comes. The angel pronounces a retributive sentence, "As she rendered .... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Revelation 18:1-24

Mystic and Commercial Babylon Revelation 17:1-18 and Revelation 18:1-24 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The seventeenth chapter of Revelation discusses what we call mystic Babylon; and the eighteenth presents commercial Babylon. Personally, we believe that there will be a union of apostate protestantism with apostate Catholicism. This is discussed in chapter seventeen. Then, we believe that Babylon will be rebuilded. We are quite aware of Isaiah's prophecy concerning the former Babylon, which was to be... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 18:4

THE CALL TO SEPARATION‘Come out of her, My people.’ Revelation 18:4‘Babylon the great’ ( Revelation 18:2) typifies for us in this twentieth century the ungodly world. In this world you and I are living and must live. Are we of it? Do we belong to it? Once we were of the world, worldly. Have we come out of the world? Have we cast out of our hearts the worldly spirit? Remember, ‘the friendship of the world is enmity with God,’ and if we are to serve God we must resolve to come out of the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 18:1

‘After these things I saw another angel coming down out of Heaven, having great authority, and the earth was lightened with his glory.’ Another great angel is seen as involved with the fulfilling of God’s final purposes. Note that none of these angels are ever named apart from Michael, who is named because he is the angel prince of Israel (Revelation 12:7). While prominent, they maintain an anonymous position for they seek no glory for themselves. They are all equally God’s servants and none... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 18:1-8

The Destruction of Babylon the Great (chapter 18). The Fall of Babylon the Great (Revelation 18:1-8 ). We now have in more detail an explanation of the mystery of the prostitute. The connections between Revelation 18:0 and Jeremiah 50, 51 stress that the essential nature of the prostitute parallels Babylon. Compare Jeremiah 51:25 with Revelation 18:8, Jeremiah 50:8; Jeremiah 51:6; Jeremiah 51:45 with Revelation 18:4; Jeremiah 51:9 with Revelation 18:5; Jeremiah 17:18; Jeremiah 50:15; Jeremiah... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 18:2

‘And he cried with a mighty voice saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great, and is become a habitation of devils, and a haunt of every unclean spirit and a haunt of every unclean and hateful bird”.’ The angel declares that Babylon the Great is fallen. Becoming a haunt of birds is a favourite indication of dreadful judgment (Isaiah 34:11; Isaiah 34:14; Zephaniah 2:14). ‘Babylon is fallen, is fallen’ comes from Isaiah 21:9 where emphasis is laid on the destruction of its idols and images... read more
