The Three Angels and Babylon's Fall
6Then I saw another angel flying overhead, with the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation and tribe and tongue and people. 7And he said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. Worship the One who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and the springs of waters.” 8Then a second angel followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, who has made all the nations drink the wine of the passion of her immorality.”…

He said in a loud voice
The phrase "He said in a loud voice" emphasizes the urgency and importance of the message being delivered. In the Greek, "loud voice" is "φωνῇ μεγάλῃ" (phonē megalē), indicating a proclamation meant to be heard by all. This reflects the angel's role as a divine messenger, ensuring that the message reaches every corner of the earth. The loudness signifies the authority and the critical nature of the announcement, urging immediate attention and response.

Fear God
The call to "Fear God" is a central theme in Scripture, rooted in the Hebrew concept of "yirah," which encompasses reverence, awe, and respect. This fear is not about terror but about recognizing God's majesty and holiness. It is a call to acknowledge God's sovereignty and to live in a way that honors Him. In the context of Revelation, it serves as a reminder of God's ultimate authority over creation and history.

and give Him glory
To "give Him glory" means to acknowledge God's supreme worth and to honor Him through worship and obedience. The Greek word for glory, "δόξα" (doxa), implies a recognition of God's divine nature and His deeds. This phrase calls believers to live lives that reflect God's character and to publicly declare His greatness, especially in a world that often denies His existence.

because the hour of His judgment has come
This phrase highlights the immediacy and certainty of God's judgment. The "hour" signifies a specific, divinely appointed time, underscoring the prophetic nature of Revelation. The Greek word "κρίσις" (krisis) for judgment indicates a decisive act of justice. Historically, this reflects the biblical theme of God's righteous judgment, which is both a warning to the unrepentant and a promise of vindication for the faithful.

Worship Him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters
This call to worship is a reminder of God's role as Creator. The phrase echoes the language of Genesis, affirming God's sovereignty over all creation. The mention of "heavens, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters" encompasses the entirety of the created order, emphasizing that all of nature is under God's dominion. This serves as a call to recognize God's power and to respond with worship, aligning with the biblical narrative that creation itself testifies to God's glory and majesty.

(7) Saying . . .--These words declare what ought to be the effect of the gospel. Those to whom it is preached are sitting inactive on the earth. They must be roused to fear God and give Him glory. They must not fear the powers of evil, the wild beasts, &c., or be afraid of their terror (1Peter 3:14-15). They must realise that there is an hour of judgment at hand, which will discriminate between the worshippers of the world and of God. Let them learn to worship the Creator of all, and to turn from the worship of lesser and lower.

If we ask when this gospel angel appeared, our answer must be that the whole cycle of the gospel preaching is included in the vision, though doubtless there have been ages when the light of the glad tidings of God has gone forth with revived lustre, and when the warnings against easy acquiescence in evil have been given with unmistakable distinctness.

Verse 7. - Saying with a loud voice. Λέγων, "saying," in nominative, though agreeing with the accusative ἄγγελον," angel." The "great voice" is characteristic of all the heavenly utterances (ver. 2; Revelation 11:12, 15, etc.). Fear God, and give glory to him. Thus the angel proclaims the gospel in opposition to the second beast, who bids those that dwell on the earth to make an image to the first beast (cf. Revelation 13:14). Compare the effect of the coming judgment, described in Revelation 11:13. For the hour of his judgment is come. This is the reason given for the fear mentioned. That it has effect is seen by Revelation 11:13. Is come; that is to say, is at hand. And worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. As remarked above, the angel thus directly opposes the invitation of the second beast to pay homage to the first beast. Again we have the fourfold enumeration of objects of creation, denoting the universal nature of the assertion (cf. on ver. 6).
