“The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,”
Revelation 18:15 (KJV)
Commentary on Revelation 18:15
The merchants standing afar off for fear of her torment reveals self-preservation overcoming commercial loyalty. Their weeping and wailing demonstrates grief over financial loss, not moral conviction. The distance they maintain shows fear of sharing her judgment. Reformed theology recognizes that worldly relationships ultimately prove shallow—based on mutual benefit, not covenant love. The merchants' response contrasts heaven's rejoicing (v. 20), revealing different value systems. Their tears are for lost profits, not lost souls or justice served.
