In the Greek, "fruit" (καρπός, karpos) often symbolizes the results or outcomes of one's actions or desires. Here, it represents the culmination of Babylon's (symbolizing worldly systems) pursuit of wealth, power, and pleasure. The "soul's desire" indicates a profound yearning that goes beyond mere physical needs, touching on the spiritual and emotional cravings that often lead individuals away from God. Historically, this reflects the opulence and decadence of ancient empires, which prioritized material wealth over spiritual integrity.has departed from you The Greek word for "departed" (ἀπέρχομαι, aperchomai) suggests a complete and irreversible separation. This indicates a divine judgment where the things once cherished and pursued are permanently removed. In the context of Revelation, this is a warning of the transient nature of worldly pursuits. Archaeologically, this can be seen in the ruins of once-great cities that now lie in desolation, serving as a testament to the fleeting nature of human glory.all your luxury and splendor "Luxury" (τρυφή, tryphē) and "splendor" (λαμπρότης, lamprotēs) denote not just wealth, but an extravagant lifestyle characterized by excess and indulgence. These terms highlight the allure of materialism and the temptation to prioritize earthly riches over spiritual wealth. Historically, this reflects the grandeur of cities like Rome and Babylon, known for their opulence and decadence. Scripturally, it serves as a reminder of the dangers of allowing material wealth to overshadow spiritual values.have vanished The word "vanished" (ἀπόλλυμι, apollymi) implies total destruction or disappearance. This is not merely a loss but an obliteration, emphasizing the finality of God's judgment on Babylon. It serves as a stark reminder of the impermanence of earthly treasures and the ultimate futility of placing hope in them. This echoes Jesus' teaching in <a href="/matthew/6-19.htm">Matthew 6:19-20</a> about storing treasures in heaven rather than on earth.never to be seen again This phrase underscores the permanence of Babylon's downfall. The Greek construction here emphasizes the irrevocable nature of this judgment. Historically, it reflects the fate of many ancient civilizations that once thrived but are now lost to history. Scripturally, it serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of turning away from God and the eternal nature of His judgments. It calls believers to focus on eternal values and the kingdom of God, which will never fade away.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/revelation/18.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(14) Directly addressed to Babylon herself.And the fruits that thy soul . . .--Rather, And the fruits (or, the harvest) of the desire of thy soul (that, namely, which thy soul lusteth after) departed (not "are departed:" the word expresses the thought that these things "departed once for all") from thee, and all things that are rich and that are glorious perish from thee, and thou shalt not find them any more. The descriptive passage is interrupted by this verse, in which Babylon herself is addressed. It is in harmony with the fervour of the whole chapter that the descriptive tone should for a moment give place to this apostrophe. The fruits to which the eye of desire had looked so longingly as to a harvest of delight departed. The desire of the wicked has perished.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/revelation/18.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 14. And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all; all things that were dainty and splendid are perished from thee, and [men] shall find, etc. The Textus Receptus reads ἀπῆλθεν, "are gone," as in 1; ἀπώλοντο is found in א, 7, and about twelve other cursives; ἀπώλετο is supported by A, R, C, P, and others, besides many versions and Fathers. This verse, containing a direct address to Babylon. has been thought by Vitringa and others to be misplaced; but this is unnecessary (cf. the similar circumstance in vers. 21-24). <a href="/commentaries/revelation/18-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>“The ἡ (hē) Article - Nominative Feminine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> The, the definite article.
