This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
A second time (deuteron). Adverbial accusative, a heavenly encore.
They say (eirēkan). Perfect active indicative of eipon. “They have said,” not an “aoristic” perfect for “they say,” but vivid dramatic perfect as in Rev 5:7 and the form in ̇an instead of ̇asin as in Rev 18:3; Rev 21:6.
Goeth up (anabainei). Linear present active indicative of anabainō, “keeps on going up,” “a last touch to the description already given (Rev 18:21.) of Babylon’s utter collapse” (Swete). The smoke of the city’s ruin (Rev 14:11; Rev 18:8., and Rev 18:18) instead of incense (Rev 8:4). Cf. Isa 34:9.
