Matthew Poole and continuators on Revelation 16:20

20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found .

These are the Effects of great Earthquakes, See ch. 6.14. Some, by Islands and Mountains, understand the Inhabitants of both. I know not whether those reverend Authors, who by this term understand their Idol-worship and Superstition, or Ecclesiastical Dignities (I suppose because the Heathens and Iews in imitation of them, committed Idolatry on Mountains, and high Hills) be not here too critical.
