Exegesis
The conjunction hoti introduces the temporal-causal clause mia hora elthen hē krisis sou {μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἦλθεν ἡ κρίσις σου | mi-âi hṓ-ra ḗl-then hē krí-sis sou} ‘because in one hour your judgment came’, with the dative marking a precise moment and the aorist verb marking the event as a completed, decisive act. Participial structures are rendered as finite clauses for clarity, the repetition of terms preserved for rhetorical intensity, and the abrupt timing maintained to reflect sudden divine action.
In context — Revelation 18:10
They stood far away because they feared her torment , and they said, “Alas, alas, Babylon the great, the mighty city, because in one hour your judgment has come.”
