Apocalisse 18:5 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 18:5

For her sins have reached unto heaven
Or "have followed unto heaven"; one after another, in one age after another, until they have been as it were heaped up together, and have reached the heavens; the phrase denotes the multitude of them, God's knowledge and notice of them, and the cry of them to him; see ( Genesis 18:20 ) ( Jonah 1:2 ) the Alexandrian copy and Complutensian edition read, "have cleaved", or "glued", and so the Syriac and Arabic versions seem to have read; her sins were as it were soldered together, and stuck fast to her, and being joined and linked together, made a long chain, and reached to heaven, and cleaved to that, and cried for vengeance:

and God hath remembered her iniquities;
and is about to punish her for them; for as forgiveness of sin is signified by a non-remembrance of it, so punishment of sin by a remembrance of it, and of the persons that commit it; see ( Revelation 16:19 ) .

Apocalisse 18:5 In-Context

3 Poiché tutte le nazioni han bevuto del vino dell’ira della sua fornicazione, e i re della terra han fornicato con lei, e i mercanti della terra si sono arricchiti con la sua sfrenata lussuria.
4 Poi udii un’altra voce dal cielo che diceva: Uscite da essa, o popolo mio, affinché non siate partecipi de’ suoi peccati e non abbiate parte alle sue piaghe;
5 poiché i suoi peccati si sono accumulati fino al cielo e Dio si è ricordato delle iniquità di lei.
6 Rendetele il contraccambio di quello ch’ella vi ha fatto, e rendetele al doppio la retribuzione delle sue opere; nel calice in cui ha mesciuto ad altri, mescetele il doppio.
7 Quanto ella ha glorificato se stessa ed ha lussureggiato, tanto datele di tormento e di cordoglio. Poiché ella dice in cuor suo: Io seggo regina e non son vedova e non vedrò mai cordoglio,
The Riveduta Bible is in the public domain.
