Exegesis
What follows is a tricolon of phylakē {φυλακὴ | phu-la-kē} ‘prison, haunt’ each governing pantos pneumatos akathartou {παντὸς πνεύματος ἀκαθάρτου | pan-tòs pneú-ma-tos a-ka-thár-tou} ‘of every unclean spirit’, pantos orneou akathartou {παντὸς ὀρνέου ἀκαθάρτου | pan-tòs or-né-ou a-ka-thár-tou} ‘of every unclean bird’, and pantos thēriou akathartou kai memisēmenou {παντὸς θηρίου ἀκαθάρτου καὶ μεμισημένου | pan-tòs thē-ri-ou a-ka-thár-tou kai me-mi-sē-me-nou} ‘of every unclean and hated beast’. This anaphora underscores the comprehensive defilement and horror of the fallen city.
In context — Revelation 18:2
He shouted with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen—fallen is Babylon the great! Now she has become a dwelling place for demons, a prison for every unclean spirit, a prison for every unclean bird, and a prison for every unclean and detested beast.”
