Contextual Overview

¹ AFTER these things, I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened by his glory. ² And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, and has become a habitation of those possessed with devils, and the shelter of every foul spirit and the shelter of every unclean and detestable bird and the shelter of every unclean and loathsome wild beast. ³ Because all nations have drunk of the wine of her wrath, and the kings of the earth have committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the power of her trade. ⁴ And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, O my people, so that you may not become partakers of her sins, and are not smitten by her plagues. ⁵ For her sins have reached up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. ⁶ Reward her even as she has rewarded you, and return unto her a double portion according to her works: in the cup which she has mixed, mix for her double. ⁷ For as much as she has glorified herself and lived deliciously, give her so much torment and sorrow: for she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow and shall see no sorrow. ⁸ Therefore, her plagues shall come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be burned with fire: for mighty is the LORD God who judges her.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For her sins have reached unto heaven - So in Jeremiah 51:9, speaking of Babylon, it is said, “For her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.” The meaning is not that the sins of this mystical Babylon were like a mass or pile so high as to reach to heaven, but that it had become so prominent as to attract the attention of God. Compare Genesis 4:10, “The voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.” See also Genesis 18:20.

And God hath remembered her iniquities - He had seemed to forget them, or not to notice them, but now he acted as if they had come to his recollection. See the notes on Revelation 16:19.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Revelation 18:5. Her sins have reached unto heaven — They are become so great and enormous that the long-suffering of God must give place to his justice.
