Studies in Prophecy
Glorified Herself
“7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.” (Rev 18:7-8 KJV)

“5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.” (Rev 18:5-6 KJV)
The sins and destruction that Babylon causes are so terrible that God will reward her double for her deeds. This comes from her lifestyle and the way she treats others.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. (Rev 18:4 KJV)
God will still call people to Him during this time. He will call them to come out of Babylon and not take part in her sins. If they refuse to come out, they will be stricken with the plagues that are about to be poured out on Babylon. These are people that have not taken the mark.
