The Fall of Babylon. . 1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, M YSTERY , B ABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH . 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. Here we have a new vision, not as to the matter of it, for that is contemporary with what came under the three last vials; but as to the manner of description, c. Observe, 1. The invitation given to the apostle to take a view of what was here to be represented: Come hither, and I will show thee the judgment of the great whore, &c., Revelation 17:1 ; Revelation 17:1 . This is a name of great infamy. A whore [in this passage] is one that is married, and has been false to her husband's bed, has forsaken the guide of her youth, and broken the covenant of God. She had been a prostitute to the kings of the earth, whom she had intoxicated with the wine of her fornication. 2. The appearance she made: it was gay and gaudy, like such sort of creatures: She was arrayed in purple, and scarlet colour, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls, Revelation 17:4 ; Revelation 17:4 . Here were all the allurements of worldly honour and riches, pomp and pride, suited to sensual and worldly minds. 3. Her principal seat and residence-- upon the beast that had seven heads and ten horns; that is to say, Rome, the city on seven hills, infamous for idolatry, tyranny, and blasphemy. 4. Her name, which was written on her forehead. It was the custom of impudent harlots to hang out signs, with their names, that all might know what they were. Now in this observe, (1.) She is named from her place of residence-- Babylon the great. But, that we might not take it for the old Babylon literally so called, we are told there is a mystery in the name; it is some other great city resembling the old Babylon. (2.) She is named from her infamous way and practice; not only a harlot, but a mother of harlots, breeding up harlots, and nursing and training them up to idolatry, and all sorts of lewdness and wickedness--the parent and nurse of all false religion and filthy conversation. 5. Her diet: she satiated herself with the blood of the saints and martyrs of Jesus. She drank their blood with such greediness that she intoxicated herself with it; it was so pleasant to her that she could not tell when she had had enough of it: she was satiated, but never satisfied. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-7-13" class="com-number"

> 일곱 대접을 가진 일곱 천사 가운데 하나가 와서 나에게 말하였습니다. "이리 오너라. 많은 물 위에 앉아 있는 큰 음녀가 받을 심판을 너에게 보여 주겠다. 땅의 왕들이 그 여자와 음행하였고, 땅에 사는 사람들이 그 음행의 포도주에 취하였다." 천사가 성령으로 나를 광야로 데려갔습니다. 거기서 나는 한 여자가 진홍빛 짐승 위에 앉아 있는 것을 보았습니다. 그 짐승은 온몸이 하나님을 모독하는 이름들로 가득하였고, 일곱 머리와 열 뿔을 가지고 있었습니다. 그 여자는 자주색과 진홍색 옷을 입고, 금과 보석과 진주로 단장하였으며, 손에는 가증한 것들과 그 음행의 더러운 것들이 가득 담긴 금잔을 들고 있었습니다. 그리고 그 이마에는 한 이름이 적혀 있었는데, 비밀, 큰 바벨론, 음녀들과 땅의 가증한 것들의 어미였습니다. 나는 그 여자가 성도들의 피와 예수의 증인들의 피에 취해 있는 것을 보았습니다. 나는 그 여자를 보고 크게 놀랐습니다. (계 17:1-6)
여기서 우리는 새로운 환상을 받는다. 내용 면에서는 앞선 마지막 세 대접이 보여 준 것과 동시대적이지만, 묘사 방식이 다르다. 다음 다섯 가지를 주목하라.
**첫째, 사도에게 주어진 초청이다(계 17:1).** "이리 오너라. 큰 음녀가 받을 심판을 너에게 보여 주겠다." 이것은 매우 불명예스러운 이름이다. 이 본문에서 음녀란 결혼하였으나 남편의 잠자리를 배신하고, 젊었을 때의 인도자를 저버리며, 하나님의 언약을 어긴 자를 가리킨다. 그 여자는 땅의 왕들을 간음에 빠뜨렸고, 자신의 음행의 포도주로 그들을 취하게 하였다.
**둘째, 그 여자의 모습이다.** 이는 그런 부류의 존재들처럼 화려하고 눈부셨다. 그 여자는 자주색과 진홍색 옷을 입고 금과 보석과 진주로 단장하였다(계 17:4). 여기에는 세상적인 명예와 부, 화려함과 교만함 등 감각적이고 세속적인 마음에 맞는 온갖 유혹들이 가득하였다.
**셋째, 그 여자의 주된 거처이다.** 그 여자는 일곱 머리와 열 뿔을 가진 짐승 위에 앉아 있었으니, 이는 곧 일곱 언덕 위에 세워진 도시 로마를 가리키며, 우상 숭배와 폭정과 신성 모독으로 악명 높은 곳이다.
**넷째, 그 여자의 이름이다.** 이마에 이름이 새겨져 있었다. 뻔뻔한 창녀들이 자기 이름이 새겨진 표를 달아 모든 이가 자기 정체를 알게 하는 풍습이 있었다. 이 이름에서 다음을 주목하라. (1) 그 여자는 거처지의 이름을 따라 '큰 바벨론'이라 불린다. 그러나 이것이 문자 그대로의 옛 바벨론이 아님을 알게 하려고, 그 이름에 비밀이 있다고 알려 준다. 이는 옛 바벨론을 닮은 또 다른 큰 도시이다. (2) 그 여자는 자신의 악명 높은 행실에서 이름을 얻었다. 단순한 음녀가 아니라 음녀들의 어미로서, 음녀들을 키우고 양육하며 우상 숭배와 온갖 방탕함과 악함으로 훈련시켰으니, 모든 거짓 종교와 더러운 행실의 어미요 양육자이다.
**다섯째, 그 여자의 양식이다.** 그 여자는 성도들과 예수의 증인들의 피로 배를 채웠다. 그 여자는 그 피를 너무도 탐욕스럽게 마셔서 스스로 취할 지경이 되었다. 그 피가 너무도 달콤하여 아무리 마셔도 만족하지 못했으니, 배는 불렀으나 결코 흡족하지 않았다.

이 장은 앞서 계시된 적그리스도의 사악함과 멸망에 관한 것들을 또 다른 방식으로 나타낸다. 적그리스도는 앞에서 짐승으로 묘사되었으나, 여기서는 큰 음녀로 묘사된다. 이 장은 네 부분으로 나뉜다. 첫째, 사도는 이 악한 여자를 보도록 초청받는다(계 17:1-2). 둘째, 그 여자의 모습이 묘사된다(계 17:3-6). 셋째, 그 비밀이 설명된다(계 17:7-12). 넷째, 그 여자의 멸망이 예고된다(계 17:13-18).

The Fall of Babylon. . 7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. Here we have the mystery of this vision explained. The apostle wonders at the sight of this woman: the angel undertakes to open this vision to him, it being the key of the former visions; and he tells the apostle what was meant by the beast on which the woman sat; but it is so explained as still to need further explanation. 1. This beast was, and is not, and yet is; that is, it was a seat of idolatry and persecution; and is not, that is, not in the ancient form, which was pagan; and yet it is, it is truly the seat of idolatry and tyranny, though of another sort and form. It ascends out of the bottomless pit (idolatry and cruelty are the issue and product of hell), and it shall return thither and go into perdition. 2. This beast has seven heads, which have a double signification. (1.) Seven mountains --the seven hills on which Rome stands; and (2.) Seven kings --seven sorts of government. Rome was governed by kings, consuls, tribunes, decemviri, dictators, emperors who were pagan, and emperors who were Christian. Five of these were extinct when this prophecy was written; one was then in being, that is, the pagan emperor; and the other, that is, the Christian emperor, was yet to come, Revelation 17:10 ; Revelation 17:10 . This beast, the papacy, makes an eighth governor, and sets up idolatry again. 3. This beast had ten horns; which are said to be ten kings which have as yet received no kingdoms; as yet, that is, as some, shall not rise up till the Roman empire be broken in pieces; or, as others, shall not rise up till near the end of antichrist's reign, and so shall reign but as it were one hour with her, but shall for that time be very unanimous and very zealous in that interest, and entirely devoted to it, divesting themselves of their prerogatives and revenues (things so dear to princes), out of an unaccountable fondness for the papacy. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-14-18" class="com-number"

> 그러자 천사가 나에게 말하였습니다. "어찌하여 놀라느냐? 내가 그 여자와, 그 여자를 태우고 있는 일곱 머리와 열 뿔을 가진 짐승의 비밀을 너에게 말해 주겠다. 네가 본 그 짐승은 전에 있었으나 지금은 없으며, 곧 무저갱에서 올라와 멸망으로 들어갈 것이다. 땅에 사는 사람들 곧 창세 이래로 생명책에 그 이름이 기록되지 못한 사람들은, 전에 있었으나 지금은 없다가 다시 나타날 그 짐승을 보고 놀랄 것이다. 여기에 지혜를 가진 마음이 필요하다. 일곱 머리는 그 여자가 앉아 있는 일곱 산이다. 또 그것들은 일곱 왕이다. 다섯은 이미 쓰러졌고, 하나는 지금 있으며, 다른 하나는 아직 오지 않았다. 그가 올 때에는 잠시 동안만 머물러야 한다. 전에 있었으나 지금은 없는 그 짐승은 자신이 또한 여덟째 왕이면서 일곱 왕에 속하며, 멸망으로 들어간다. 네가 본 열 뿔은 아직 나라를 받지 못한 열 왕이지만, 그들은 그 짐승과 함께 왕으로서 한동안 권세를 받는다. 이들은 한 뜻을 품고 자기의 힘과 권세를 그 짐승에게 넘겨준다." (계 17:7-13)
여기서 이 환상의 비밀이 해석된다. 사도는 이 여자를 보고 크게 놀랐다. 천사는 사도에게 이 환상을 해석해 주겠다고 나서며, 그 여자가 탄 짐승이 무엇을 의미하는지 말해 준다. 그러나 설명을 들어도 여전히 더 깊은 해석이 필요하다. 다음 세 가지를 주목하라.
**첫째, 이 짐승은 전에 있었으나 지금은 없고 또 있다.** 곧 이 짐승은 이교적 우상 숭배와 박해의 자리였고, '지금은 없다'는 것은 이교적 형태가 사라졌음을 뜻하며, '또 있다'는 것은 비록 형태가 다를지라도 여전히 우상 숭배와 폭정의 자리임을 의미한다. 이 짐승은 무저갱에서 올라오니, 우상 숭배와 잔인함은 지옥의 산물이며, 거기로 되돌아가 멸망으로 들어갈 것이다.
**둘째, 이 짐승에게는 일곱 머리가 있으며, 이는 이중적 의미를 가진다.** (1) 일곱 산은 로마가 서 있는 일곱 언덕이다. (2) 일곱 왕은 일곱 가지 통치 형태이다. 로마는 왕, 집정관, 호민관, 10인 위원회, 독재관, 이교 황제, 기독교 황제 순서로 다스림을 받았다. 이 예언이 기록될 당시 다섯은 이미 지나갔고, 하나 곧 이교 황제가 당시에 있었으며, 또 다른 하나 곧 기독교 황제는 아직 오지 않았다(계 17:10). 이 짐승, 곧 교황제가 여덟 번째 통치자가 되어 다시 우상 숭배를 세운다.
**셋째, 이 짐승에게는 열 뿔이 있으니, 이는 열 왕이다.** 어떤 이들은 이 왕들이 로마 제국이 무너질 때까지 일어나지 않을 것이라 하고, 다른 이들은 이 왕들이 적그리스도의 통치가 끝날 무렵이 되어서야 일어날 것이라 한다. 그들은 그 짐승과 함께 잠시 동안 왕 노릇을 하겠지만, 그 기간 동안 매우 일치하고 매우 열성적으로 그 짐승의 편에 서서, 왕들에게 그토록 소중한 특권과 재산까지 바쳐 가며 교황제에 온전히 헌신한다.

The Fall of Babylon. . 14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. 15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. 18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. Here we have some account of the downfall of Babylon, to be more fully described in the following chapter. I. Here is a war begun between the beast and his followers, and the Lamb and his followers. The beast and his army, to an eye of sense, appear much stronger than the Lamb and his army: one would think an army with a lamb at the head of them could not stand before the great red dragon. But, II. Here is a victory gained by the Lamb: The Lamb shall overcome. Christ must reign till all enemies be put under his feet; he will be sure to meet with many enemies, and much opposition, but he will also be sure to gain the victory. III. Here is the ground or reason of the victory assigned; and this is taken, 1. From the character of the Lamb: He is King of kings and Lord of lords. He has, both by nature and by office, supreme dominion and power over all things; all the powers of earth and hell are subject to his check and control. 2. From the character of his followers: They are called, and chosen, and faithful. They are called out by commission to this warfare; they are chosen and fitted for it, and they will be faithful in it. Such an army, under such a commander, will at length carry all the world before them. IV. The victory is justly aggrandized. 1. By the vast multitude who paid obedience and subjection to the beast and to the whore. She sat upon (that is, presided over) many waters; and these waters were so many multitudes of people, and nations, of all languages; yea, she reigned not only over kingdoms, but over the kings, and they were her tributaries and vassals, Revelation 17:15 ; Revelation 17:18 . 2. By the powerful influence which God hereby showed he had over the minds of great men. Their hearts were in his hand, and he turned them as he pleased; for, (1.) It was of God, and to fulfil his will, that these kings agreed to give their kingdom unto the beast; they were judicially blinded and hardened to do so. And, (2.) It was of God that afterwards their hearts were turned against the whore, to hate her, and to make her desolate and naked, and to eat her flesh, and burn her with fire; they shall at length see their folly, and how they have been bewitched and enslaved by the papacy, and, out of a just resentment, shall not only fall off from Rome, but shall be made the instruments of God's providence in her destruction. return to ' Top of Page ' Revelation Rev 16 Revelation Rev Revelation Rev 18 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain and are a derivative of an electronic edition that is available on the Christian Classics Ethereal Library Website.

source-manifest/mhm— Matthew Henry Complete Commentary (PD)- evidence_grade: T_theological
> 이들은 어린양을 대적하여 싸울 것이지만, 어린양이 그들을 이길 것이다. 어린양은 주들의 주이시며 왕들의 왕이시기 때문이다. 또한 어린양과 함께 있는 사람들 곧 부르심을 받고 택하심을 받은 신실한 사람들도 그들을 이길 것이다. 그리고 천사가 나에게 말하였습니다. "네가 본 물 곧 그 음녀가 앉아 있는 곳은 백성들과 무리들과 나라들과 언어들이다. 또 네가 본 열 뿔과 그 짐승은 그 음녀를 미워하여 그를 황폐하게 하고 벌거벗기며, 그 살을 먹고, 불로 완전히 태워 버릴 것이다. 이는 하나님께서 자기의 뜻을 이루게 하시려고 그들의 마음을 움직여, 한 뜻을 품게 하시고, 하나님의 말씀이 다 이루어질 때까지 그들의 나라를 그 짐승에게 넘겨주게 하셨기 때문이다. 그리고 네가 본 그 여자는 땅의 왕들을 다스리는 큰 도시다." (계 17:14-18)
여기서 다음 장에서 더 충분히 묘사될 바벨론의 멸망이 예고된다. 네 가지를 주목하라.
**첫째, 짐승과 그 추종자들, 그리고 어린양과 그 추종자들 사이에 전쟁이 시작된다.** 육신의 눈으로 보면, 짐승과 그 군대가 어린양과 그 군대보다 훨씬 강해 보인다. 어린양을 선두로 한 군대가 그 크고 붉은 용 앞에서 버틸 수 있을 것 같지 않다.
**둘째, 어린양이 승리를 거둔다.** "어린양이 그들을 이길 것이다." 그리스도께서는 모든 원수가 그의 발아래 굴복할 때까지 다스리셔야 한다. 그분은 많은 원수와 큰 저항을 만나시겠지만, 반드시 승리를 거두실 것이다.
**셋째, 승리의 근거와 이유가 제시된다.** 이는 두 가지에서 나온다. (1) 어린양의 성품으로부터이다. 그분은 주들의 주이시며 왕들의 왕이시다. 그분은 본성과 직분으로 인해 만물 위에 최고의 통치권과 권세를 가지신다. 땅과 지옥의 모든 권세가 그분의 제어와 다스림 아래 있다. (2) 그분의 추종자들의 성품으로부터이다. 그들은 부르심을 받고 택하심을 받고 신실한 자들이다. 그들은 이 전투를 위해 사명을 받아 부르심을 받았고, 그 일에 합당하도록 택하심을 받았으며, 신실하게 그 일을 감당할 것이다. 이러한 군대가, 이러한 사령관 아래, 마침내 온 세상을 이끌 것이다.
**넷째, 이 승리가 더욱 크게 드러난다.** (1) 짐승과 음녀에게 복종하고 순종한 자들의 엄청난 무리를 통해서이다. 그 여자는 많은 물 위에, 곧 수많은 백성들과 나라들과 모든 언어 위에 앉아 있었다. 그 여자는 왕국들 위에서만이 아니라 왕들 위에서도 다스렸으니, 왕들이 그 여자에게 조공을 바치고 종처럼 섬겼다(계 17:15, 18). (2) 하나님께서 위대한 자들의 마음 위에 드러내신 강력한 영향력을 통해서이다. 그들의 마음이 그분의 손안에 있으며, 그분께서 뜻하신 대로 그들을 돌리신다. 이 왕들이 자기 나라를 짐승에게 넘겨준 것은 하나님으로부터, 곧 하나님의 뜻을 이루기 위한 것이었으니, 그들은 이를 행하도록 사법적으로 눈이 멀고 완고하게 되었다. 그리고 나중에 그들의 마음이 음녀를 미워하는 방향으로 돌려진 것도 하나님으로부터이다. 그들은 마침내 자신들의 어리석음을 깨닫고, 교황제에 의해 어떻게 홀리고 종이 되었는지를 알며, 정당한 분노로 로마에서 등을 돌릴 뿐만 아니라 하나님의 섭리 안에서 로마의 멸망을 이루는 도구가 될 것이다.
