Revelation 18:6
_ _ Addressed to the executioners of God’s wrath.
_ _ Reward — Greek, “repay.”
_ _ she rewarded — English Version reading adds “you” with none of the oldest manuscripts. But A, B, C, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic omit it. She had not rewarded or repaid the world power for some injury which the world power had inflicted on her; but she had given the world power that which was its due, namely, spiritual delusions, because it did not like to retain God in its knowledge; the unfaithful Church’s principle was, “Populus vult decipi, et decipiatur.” “The people like to be deceived, and let them be deceived.”
_ _ double — of sorrow. Contrast with this the double of joy which Jerusalem shall receive for her past suffering (Isaiah 61:7; Zechariah 9:12); even as she has received double punishment for her sins (Isaiah 40:2).
_ _ unto her — So Syriac, Coptic, and Andreas. A, B, and C omit it.
_ _ in the cup — (Revelation 18:3; Revelation 14:8; Revelation 17:4).
_ _ filled — literally “mixed.”
_ _ fill to her double — of the Lord’s cup of wrath. |
Revelation 18:6
Reward her — This God speaks to the executioners of his vengeance. Even as she hath rewarded — Others; in particular, the saints of God. And give her double — This, according to the Hebrew idiom, implies only a full retaliation. |
Revelation 18:6
(7) 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.
(7) The provocation of the godly, and the commandment of executing the judgment of God, stand on three causes which are here expressed: the unjust wickedness of the whore of Babylon, in this verse, her cursed pride opposing itself against God, which is the fountain of all evil actions, (Revelation 18:7) and her most just damnation by the sentence of God, (Revelation 18:8). |
