Apocalipse 18:24 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 18:24

And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints,
&c.] Such as before mentioned, in ( Revelation 18:20 ) this is another reason of her destruction, besides her luxury and idolatry, namely, her shedding the blood of the saints, with which she is said to be drunk, and therefore blood is now given her to drink, ( Revelation 17:6 ) ( 16:6 ) for she will now be found guilty of slaying the witnesses, who are meant by the prophets and saints, that have been from the beginning of the apostasy:

and of all that were slain upon the earth:
not only of those that have been slain in the city of Rome, but of all those that have been slain throughout the empire; they being slain by her order, or with her consent, and she conniving at it, encouraging it, and therefore will be justly chargeable with it all; see ( Matthew 23:31 Matthew 23:32 Matthew 23:35 ) the Ethiopic version adds, "for the name of Christ".

Apocalipse 18:24 In-Context

22 E em ti não se ouvirá mais o som de harpistas, de músicos, de flautistas e de trombeteiros; e nenhum artífice de arte alguma se achará mais em ti; e em ti não mais se ouvirá ruído de mó;

23 e luz de candeia não mais brilhará em ti, e voz de noivo e de noiva não mais em ti se ouvirá; porque os teus mercadores eram os grandes da terra; porque todas as nações foram enganadas pelas tuas feitiçarias.

24 E nela se achou o sangue dos profetas, e dos santos, e de todos os que foram mortos na terra.
