20 Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
20 And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found.
20 Every island fled and not a mountain was to be found.
20 Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
20 And every island disappeared, and all the mountains were leveled.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Revelation 16:20
Commentary on Revelation 16:17-21
(Read Revelation 16:17-21)
The seventh and last angel poured forth his vial, and the downfal of Babylon was finished. The church triumphant in heaven saw it and rejoiced; the church in conflict on earth saw it and became triumphant. God remembered the great and wicked city; though for some time he seemed to have forgotten her idolatry and cruelty. All that was most secure was carried away by the ruin. Men blasphemed: the greatest judgments that can befal men, will not bring to repentance without the grace of God. To be hardened against God, by his righteous judgments, is a certain token of sure and utter destruction.
