Revelation 18:8
_ _ death — on herself, though she thought herself secure even from the death of her husband.
_ _ mourning — instead of her feasting.
_ _ famine — instead of her luxurious delicacies (Revelation 18:3, Revelation 18:7).
_ _ fire — (See on Revelation 17:16). Literal fire may burn the literal city of Rome, which is situated in the midst of volcanic agencies. As the ground was cursed for Adam’s sin, and the earth under Noah was sunk beneath the flood, and Sodom was burnt with fire, so may Rome be. But as the harlot is mystical (the whole faithless Church), the burning may be mainly mystical, symbolizing utter destruction and removal. Bengel is probably right in thinking Rome will once more rise to power. The carnal, faithless, and worldly elements in all churches, Roman, Greek, and Protestant, tend towards one common center, and prepare the way for the last form of the beast, namely, Antichrist. The Pharisees were in the main sound in creed, yet judgment fell on them as on the unsound Sadducees and half-heathenish Samaritans. So faithless and adulterous, carnal, worldly Protestant churches, will not escape for their soundness of creed.
_ _ the Lord — so B, C, Syriac, and Andreas. But A and Vulgate omit. “Strong” is the meaning of God’s Hebrew name, “EL.”
_ _ judgeth — But A, B, and C read the past tense (Greek, “krinas”), “who hath judged her”: the prophetical past for the future: the charge in Revelation 18:4 to God’s people to come out of her implies that the judgment was not yet actually executed. |
Revelation 18:8
Therefore — as both the natural and judicial consequence of this proud security Shall her plagues come — The death of her children, with an incapacity of bearing more. Sorrow — of every kind. And famine — In the room of luxurious plenty: the very things from which she imagined herself to be most safe. For strong is the Lord God who judgeth her — Against whom therefore all her strength, great as it is, will not avail. |
Revelation 18:8
Therefore shall her plagues come in (e) one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong [is] the Lord God who judgeth her.
(e) Shortly, and at one instant. |
