Revelation 18:21
_ _ a — Greek, “one.”
_ _ millstone — Compare the judgment on the Egyptian hosts at the Red Sea, Exodus 15:5, Exodus 15:10; Nehemiah 9:11, and the foretold doom of Babylon, the world power, Jeremiah 51:63, Jeremiah 51:64.
_ _ with violence — Greek, “with impetus.” This verse shows that this prophecy is regarded as still to be fulfilled. |
Revelation 18:21
And a mighty angel took up a stone, and threw it into the sea — By a like emblem Jeremiah fore — showed the fall of the Chaldean Babylon, Jeremiah 51:63-64. |
Revelation 18:21
(13) And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast [it] into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
(13) The third prediction, as I said See Revelation 18:1 based on a sign, and the interpretation of it: the interpretation of it is in two sorts, first by a simple proposal of the thing itself, in this verse, and then by declaration of the events, in the verses following. |
- a mighty:
- This was to represent the violence of her fall, and that she should never rise again; which is further illustrated by varied emphatic expressions taken from the ancient prophets. But Rome is still standing and flourishing, and honoured by many nations as the metropolis of the Christian world; she still resounds with singers and musicians; she still excels in arts, which serve for pomp and luxury; she still abounds with candles, and lamps, and torches, burning even by day, as well as by night; and consequently this prophecy has not been, but remains to fulfilled.

- Thus:
Exodus 15:5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
Nehemiah 9:11 And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.
Jeremiah 51:63-64 And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, [that] thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates: ... And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far [are] the words of Jeremiah.
|
- and shall:
Revelation 18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft [he be], shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
