Revelation 18: Consulting the Commentaries
https://christrose.news/2025/01/revelation-18-consulting-
commentaries.html
Summary
Revelation 18 highlights the fall of Babylon, symbolizing the corrupt
world system and its ultimate destruction under God's judgment.
Commentators explore Babylon as a center of idolatry, materialism,
and oppression, contrasting the earthly lament over its fall with the
heavenly rejoicing at God's justice.
Brooks, K.
Brooks identifies Babylon as both an ecclesiastical and political
entity embodying confusion and rebellion against God. He highlights
its pride in materialism and its persecution of God's people,
culminating in divine judgment.
Unique Contribution: Brooks connects Babylon's fall to the pride and
anti-Christian motives of earthly systems. He emphasizes the
distinction between glorifying materialism and the everlasting Gospel.
Application: Christians must remain true to the Gospel and resist the
allure of worldly pride and materialism.
Wiersbe, W.W.
Wiersbe interprets Babylon as a symbol of the godless world system,
emphasizing its ruin as judgment against materialism and spiritual
adultery. He warns believers to separate from worldly influences to
avoid sharing in Babylon's plagues.
Unique Contribution: Wiersbe links Babylon's fall to the broader
biblical theme of spiritual purity and separation from evil.
Application: The church must identify and reject the "Babylons" of
its time, living for eternal values rather than temporary pleasures.
Hamilton, J.M., Jr.
Hamilton describes Babylon's destruction as a new exodus for God's
people, echoing Old Testament themes. He frames the fall as a call to
holiness, contrasting earthly lament with heavenly vindication and joy.
Unique Contribution: Hamilton ties Revelation 18 to Israel's exile
and restoration, showing God's consistent pattern of deliverance.
Application: Believers should trust in God's justice and separate
from sin to participate in His ultimate victory.
MacDonald, W.
MacDonald details Babylon's comprehensive corruption—spiritual,
economic, and political. He underscores God's justice in destroying
the city and the ultimate triumph of His righteousness.
Unique Contribution: MacDonald examines Babylon's trade in human
lives and moral decay, portraying it as a system of exploitation.
Application: Christians must rejoice in God's justice and remain
steadfast in faith, rejecting materialistic and exploitative values.
Pugh, G.
Pugh interprets Revelation 18 as a detailed depiction of Babylon the
Great's destruction, emphasizing its symbolic representation of the
corrupt world system's collapse, particularly its economic and social
dimensions. He explores the interplay between Babylon's pride,
materialism, and idolatry, culminating in God's decisive and just
judgment.
Unique Contribution: Pugh highlights Babylon as a center of
materialistic idolatry and satanic deception. His focus on the
symbolic and literal interpretations of Babylon enriches the
understanding of its dual nature as both a historical influence and
an eschatological reality. He also provides a thorough analysis of
the economic, social, and spiritual consequences of Babylon's
destruction.
Application: Believers are urged to resist materialism and the
idolatry of wealth by pursuing spiritual riches and heavenly-
mindedness. Pugh connects this to practical teaching, such as guiding
children to prioritize eternal values over temporal luxuries.
Additional Notes
Strengths: Pugh offers a meticulous breakdown of Babylon's societal
and economic structures, linking its destruction to themes of divine
justice and retribution.
Challenges: While rich in detail, Pugh’s interpretation heavily
relies on symbolic language, which might limit its application for
those seeking a strictly literal understanding.
Walvoord, J.F.
Walvoord views Babylon as a literal city and a symbol of global
rebellion against God. He explores the distinct judgments on
religious and commercial Babylon, connecting their fall to Christ's
Second Coming.
Unique Contribution: Walvoord emphasizes the detailed sequence of
Babylon's judgment, showing how it fulfills God's plan.
Application: Believers are called to separate from Babylon's values
and prepare for Christ's return.
Green, D.D.
Green sees Babylon's judgment as a total collapse of corrupt systems.
He highlights its pride and materialism as leading to divine
retribution, with believers called to rejoice in God's justice.
Unique Contribution: Green focuses on the lament of those who
profited from Babylon, showing their misplaced trust in temporary
wealth.
Application: Christians should place their security in Christ, not in
worldly systems destined for destruction.
Akin, D.L.
Akin interprets Revelation 18 as a funeral dirge for the corrupt
world system. He emphasizes the finality of Babylon's destruction and
its contrast with the eternal security found in Christ.
Unique Contribution: Akin examines the seductive allure of Babylon
and its spiritual implications for believers.
Akin exalts Jesus in his commentary on Revelation 18 by focusing on
the ultimate triumph of Christ over the corrupt world system
symbolized by Babylon. He emphasizes that the fall of Babylon
showcases Christ’s sovereignty, justice, and worthiness as the only
true source of security and salvation.
Akin underscores that the destruction of Babylon is not random but
part of Christ’s sovereign plan to defeat sin, evil, and rebellion.
This reveals Jesus as the ultimate authority over all earthly powers
and systems.
In contrast to the temporary wealth and power of Babylon, Akin points
believers to the eternal security found in Christ. He emphasizes that
Jesus alone provides true wealth and joy that cannot be destroyed.
Akin frames the fall of Babylon as a demonstration of Christ’s
victory over spiritual adultery, materialism, and idolatry. This
victory magnifies Jesus as the one who rescues His people from these
snares.
Akin calls believers to reject the allure of Babylon and instead live
in worshipful devotion to Christ. He contrasts the fleeting allure of
worldly wealth with the eternal riches of knowing and serving Jesus.
Application: The church must reject the deception of sin and worldly
wealth, living for Christ alone.
In these ways, Akin points readers to Christ as the exalted Savior
and King who alone deserves allegiance, offering eternal hope in
contrast to the judgment and destruction awaiting the world’s systems.
