‏ Revelation of John 18:3-6

v. 3: The reason for Babylon’s fall is given. She has led all nations into spiritual adultery and sin, using her wealth and luxury to keep people loyal to her. Her evil influence has spread everywhere, and she has drawn many into her sins (Revelation 18:3 a).

v. 4: God calls His people to come out of Babylon so they will not share in her sins or her punishment. This shows that God still has people among the wicked, but they must separate themselves to be safe (Revelation 18:4 b).

v. 5: Babylon’s sins have reached up to heaven, and now God remembers her evil deeds. When sin becomes so great, God’s judgment will surely come down to earth (Revelation 18:5 c).

v. 6: God commands that Babylon should be paid back double for what she has done. Her punishment will match her wickedness and cruelty. God’s people are called to be part of this judgment, acting under His direction (Revelation 18:6 d).
