Revelation 18:10
standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’
(a) Babylon; see entry for Rev. 14:8.
(b) The hour of His judgment. Elsewhere the Bible speaks of a day of judgment (see entry for Matt. 10:15). But in Revelation, it is an hour of judgment (Rev. 14:7).
