14:8 See Isaiah 21:9.
14:8 This alludes to Jeremiah 51:7. In view of verse 10 that follows and the Jeremiah allusion is seems appropriate to conclude that it is this “wine of God's furious opposition” that is in view here. Of course human language is being used to describe God so while his intense opposition to sin is clear, words like “fury” and “anger” should not be understood in terms of fallen human nature.

14:8 Babylon is probably a cryptic designation for Rome (see 16:19; 17:5-9); it represents earthly power and corruption. The coming of God as judge (14:7) includes the end of earthly powers.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἔπεσεν, ἔπεσεν, Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη
fell fell Babylon ¬the great
This second angel is speaking as if Babylon has literally fallen down. He means that the city has been destroyed. The repetition of the word fallen is emphatic and indicates complete destruction. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Babylon the Great has been completely destroyed” or “God has completely destroyed Babylon the Great”
Note 2 topic: translate-names
Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη
Babylon ¬the great
The word Babylon is the name of an ancient city that founded an empire whose armies destroyed Jerusalem and the temple in 586 B.C.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη
Babylon ¬the great
Since the ancient city of Babylon was destroyed centuries earlier, the angel is not speaking literally of that city. The angel is using Babylon to symbolize some other city or empire. The specific identity of that city or empire is a matter of interpretation rather than translation. Alternate translation: “the great city that is like Babylon” or “the great empire that is like Babylon”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ἣ & πεπότικεν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη
who & ˱she˲_/has/_given_to_drink all the pagans
The angel is speaking of the city of Babylon as if it were a living thing that caused the nations to drink from a certain cup. The angel means that the rulers of the city did this, symbolically (See: next note). If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “whose rulers caused all the nations to drink”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
πάντα τὰ ἔθνη
all the pagans
The angel says all here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “nations throughout the world”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐκ τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς, πεπότικεν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη
of the wine ˱of˲_the rage ˱of˲_the sexual_immorality ˱of˲_her ˱she˲_/has/_given_to_drink all the pagans
This second angel is speaking as if Babylon has literally caused the nations to drink a certain kind of wine. This means, in the first instance, that Babylon led the nations to commit sexual immorality with her. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “caused all the nations to give in to passions that led them to commit sexual immorality with her”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐκ τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς
of the wine ˱of˲_the rage ˱of˲_the sexual_immorality ˱of˲_her
In the second instance, as in 14:3, having immoral sexual relations is a symbolic image for worshiping idols. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to worship idols as she did”
