_ _ another — So Vulgate. But A, B, Syriac, and Andreas add, “a second”; “another, a second angel.”
_ _ Babylon — here first mentioned; identical with the harlot, the apostate Church; distinct from the beast, and judged separately.
_ _ is fallen — anticipation of Revelation 18:2. A, Vulgate, Syriac, and Andreas support the second “is fallen.” But B, C, and Coptic omit it.
_ _ that great city — A, B, C, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic omit “city.” Then translate, “Babylon the great.” The ulterior and exhaustive fulfillment of Isaiah 21:9.
_ _ because — So Andreas. But A, C, Vulgate, and Syriac read, “which.” B and Coptic omit it. Even reading “which,” we must understand it as giving the reason of her fall.
_ _ all nations — A, B and C read, “all the nations.”
_ _ the wine of the wrath of her fornication — the wine of the wrath of God, the consequence of her fornication. As she made the nations drunk with the wine of her fornication, so she herself shall be made drunk with the wine of God’s wrath. |
Revelation 14:8
And another angel followed, saying, Babylon is fallen — With the overthrow of Babylon, that of all the enemies of Christ, and, consequently, happier times, are connected. Babylon the great — So the city of Rome is called upon many accounts. Babylon was magnificent, strong, proud, powerful. So is Rome also. Babylon was first, Rome afterwards, the residence of the emperors of the world. What Babylon was to Israel of old, Rome hath been both to the literal and spiritual "Israel of God." Hence the liberty of the ancient Jews was connected with the overthrow of the Babylonish empire. And when Rome is finally overthrown, then the people of God will be at liberty.
Whenever Babylon is mentioned in this book, the great is added, to teach us that Rome then commenced Babylon, when it commenced the great city; when it swallowed up the Grecian monarchy and its fragments, Syria in particular; and, in consequence of this, obtained dominion over Jerusalem about sixty years before the birth of Christ. Then it began, but it will not cease to be Babylon till it is finally destroyed. Its spiritual greatness began in the fifth century, and increased from age to age. It seems it will come to its utmost height just before its final overthrow.
Her fornication is her idolatry; invocation of saints and angels; worship of images; human traditions; with all that outward pomp, yea, and that fierce and bloody zeal, wherewith she pretends to serve God. But with spiritual fornication, as elsewhere, so in Rome, fleshly fornication is joined abundantly. Witness the stews there, licensed by the Pope, which are no inconsiderable branch of his revenue. This is fitly compared, to wine, because of its intoxicating nature.
Of this wine she hath, indeed, made all nations drink — More especially by her later missions. We may observe, this making them drink is not ascribed to the beast, but to Babylon. For Rome itself, the Roman inquisitions, congregations, and Jesuits, continually propagate the idolatrous doctrines and practices, with or without the consent of this or that Pope, who himself is not secure from their censure. |
Revelation 14:8
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the (a) wrath of her fornication.
(a) Of her fornication, by which God was provoked to wrath. |
