 {I will show thee} (deix(9320)soi). Future active of
deiknumi. It is fitting that one of the seven angels that had
the seven bowls should explain the judgment on Babylon ( 16:19 )
already pronounced ( 14:8 ). That is now done in chapters  Re 17  18 . {The judgment of the great harlot} (	o krima t(8873) porn(8873) t(8873)
megal(8873)). The word krima is the one used about the doom of
Babylon in  Jer 51:9 . Already in  14:8  Babylon is called the
harlot. Porn(8873) is the objective genitive, "the judgment on the
great harlot." {That sitteth upon many waters} (	(8873) kath(886d)en(8873)
epi hudat(936e) poll(936e)). Note triple use of the article 	(8873). In
 Jer 51:13  we have eph' hudasi pollois (locative in place of
genitive as here). Babylon got its wealth by means of the
Euphrates and the numerous canals for irrigation. Rome does not
have such a system of canals, but this item is taken and applied
to the New Babylon in  17:15 . Nahum ( Na 3:4 ) calls Nineveh a
harlot, as Isaiah ( Isa 23:16f. ) does Tyre.
