People's Bible Notes for Revelation 18:6


Re 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you. This is addressed to those who have meted out her judgments. The divine principle of judgments is that every one shall be rewarded "according" to his works. What they sow, "that" shall they reap. And double unto her double according to her works. This power shall have returned upon it in double portion what it has meted out to others.
