Notes

Revelation 18:4

you will not share in her sins: Being connected to the evil city might result in sharing its punishment and even engaging in its sins (see Genesis 13:8–13; 19:1–29; compare Jeremiah 51:6, 45).

Revelation 18:4–8

This second poetic response (see study note on Revelation 18:1–24) warns from heaven to escape the doomed city.

Revelation 18:1–24

This chapter includes seven poetic responses to the fall of Babylon or Rome (refer to the study note on Revelation 17:5).

Revelation 17:1–19:10

The main drama in this section shows the powers that stand against God and cause the persecution and suffering of God’s people. Rome’s power attracted and impressed many people (Revelation 17:6). John clearly describes Rome's sins and shares God's judgment (Revelation 17:3–18) before he describes Rome’s fall (18:1–24) and heaven’s response to that fall (19:1–10).
