rwp@Revelation:17:1 @{I will show thee} (\deix soi\). Future active of \deiknumi\. It is fitting that one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls should explain the judgment on Babylon (16:19|) already pronounced (14:8|). That is now done in chapters strkjv@Revelation:17; 18|. {The judgment of the great harlot} (\to krima ts porns ts megals\). The word \krima\ is the one used about the doom of Babylon in strkjv@Jeremiah:51:9|. Already in strkjv@14:8| Babylon is called the harlot. \Porns\ is the objective genitive, "the judgment on the great harlot." {That sitteth upon many waters} (\ts kathmens epi hudatn polln\). Note triple use of the article \ts\. In strkjv@Jeremiah:51:13| we have \eph' hudasi pollois\ (locative in place of genitive as here). Babylon got its wealth by means of the Euphrates and the numerous canals for irrigation. Rome does not have such a system of canals, but this item is taken and applied to the New Babylon in strkjv@17:15|. Nahum (Nahum:3:4|) calls Nineveh a harlot, as Isaiah (Isaiah:23:16f.|) does Tyre.

rwp@Revelation:18:5 @{Have reached} (\ekollthsan\). First aorist passive (deponent) indicative of \kolla\, old verb (from \kolla\, gluten, glue), to cleave to, to join one another in a mass "up to heaven" (\achri tou ouranou\). Cf. strkjv@Jeremiah:51:9; strkjv@Zechariah:14:5|. {Hath remembered} (\emnmoneusen\). First aorist (prophetic) active indicative of \mnmoneu\, here with the accusative (\adikmata\, iniquities) instead of the genitive (Colossians:4:18|).
