ISB ~ Revelation 14 v20

the city:Called “Babylon” (14:8). one thousand six hundred stadia: About 185 miles. Some take this to mean that divine judgment will extend over the land of Israel, which is roughly this distance measured north to south. Others read the number as symbolic of completeness (40 x 40 stadia) and envision a worldwide judgment. Either way, the horrific quantity of blood indicates the severity of God’s wrath on those who defy him.
