In the previous chapter God's judgment was upon the evil "religious" system of Babylon and the false prophet. This week we learn of the absolute destruction of the beast's vast economic and political system.An angel proclaims the destruction of Babylon, specifically making mention of her pervasive wickedness. The city-nation of Babylon, in the end times, is not only a hub of commerce and power, but of sin, idolatry and sensuality, as well (Revelation 18:1–3).
The sins of Babylon are enormous, and her judgment from God will be in proportion to that sin. The rapid nature of this judgment is first mentioned here, then further noted in later verses (Revelation 18:4–8).
John hears another voice warning "my people" to flee the city. This parallels the Old Testament warning given to Lot to evacuate Sodom in advance of God's judgment (Genesis 19:12–13). Not only does God want "His people" to avoid being caught up in the sins of Babylon, but He also warns them that tangible judgment is coming, and they need to flee.
