Exegesis
The perfect verb peptōkan {πέπτωκαν | pép-tō-kan} ‘they have fallen’ portrays a decisive collapse of panta ta ethnē {πάντα τὰ ἔθνη | pán-ta ta éth-nē}, setting the stage for subsequent coordinated indictments.
In context — Revelation 18:3
Because from the wine of the wrath of her fornication, all the nations have fallen, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich from the power of her luxury .
