BABYLON THE GREAT – IS FALLEN!

Revelation 18:1-24

AFTER THESE THINGS, I (John) SAW – ANOTHER ANGEL, COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN, HAVING GREAT AUTHORITY, AND THE EARTH WAS ILLUMINATED – WITH HIS GLORY!  AND HE CRIED, MIGHTILY, WITH A LOUD VOICE, SAYING, “BABYLON THE GREAT – IS FALLEN, AND HAS BECOME – A DWELLING PLACE OF DEMONS, A PRISON FOR EVERY FOUL SPIRIT, AND A CAGE FOR EVERY UNCLEAN AND HATED BIRD!  FOR ALL THE NATIONS HAVE DRUNK OF THE WINE OF THE WRATH OF HER FORNICATION; THE KINGS OF THE EARTH HAVE COMMITTED FORNICATION – WITH HER; AND THE MERCHANTS OF THE EARTH HAVE BECOME RICH – THROUGH THE ABUNDANCE OF HER LUXURY!”

AND I HEARD ANOTHER VOICE – FROM HEAVEN, SAYING, “COME OUT OF HER – MY PEOPLE (The Children Of Israel); LEST, YOU SHARE IN HER SINS, AND LEST, YOU RECEIVE OF HER PLAGUES!  FOR HER SINS HAVE REACHED TO HEAVEN, AND GOD (GOD Almighty) HAS REMEMBERED HER INIQUITIES!  RENDER TO HER, JUST AS SHE – RENDERED TO YOU; AND REPAY HER – DOUBLE, ACCORDING TO HER WORKS; IN THE CUP, WHICH SHE HAS MIXED – MIX DOUBLE FOR HER!  IN THE MEASURE, THAT SHE GLORIFIED HERSELF, AND LIVED LUXURIOUSLY (Sensually); IN THE SAME MEASURE – GIVE HER TORMENT AND SORROW; FOR SHE SAYS – IN HER HEART, ‘I SIT – AS QUEEN, AND AM NO WIDOW, AND WILL NOT SEE SORROW!’  THEREFORE, HER PLAGUES WILL COME IN ONE (Literal) DAY — DEATH, AND MOURNING, AND FAMINE!  AND SHE WILL BE UTTERLY BURNED – WITH FIRE; FOR STRONG IS – THE LORD GOD (GOD Almighty), WHO JUDGES HER!”

“THE KINGS OF THE EARTH, WHO COMMITTED FORNICATION AND LIVED LUXURIOUSLY WITH HER, WILL WEEP AND LAMENT FOR HER, WHEN THEY SEE – THE SMOKE OF HER BURNING; STANDING AT A DISTANCE – FOR FEAR OF HER TORMENT, SAYING, ‘ALAS, ALAS, THAT GREAT CITY, BABYLON, THAT MIGHTY CITY!  FOR IN ONE HOUR – YOUR JUDGEMENT HAS COME!’”

“AND THE MERCHANTS OF THE EARTH WILL WEEP AND MOURN – OVER HER; FOR NO ONE BUYS THEIR MERCHANDISE ANYMORE: MERCHANDISE OF GOLD AND SILVER, PRECIOUS STONES AND PEARLS, FINE LINEN AND PURPLE, SILK AND SCARLET, EVERY KIND OF CITRON WOOD, EVERY KIND OF OBJECT OF IVORY, EVERY KIND OF OBJECT OF MOST PRECIOUS WOOD, BRONZE, IRON, AND MARBLE; AND CINNAMON AND INCENSE, FRAGRANT OIL AND FRANKINCENSE, WINE AND OIL, FINE FLOUR AND WHEAT, CATTLE AND SHEEP, HORSES AND CHARIOTS, AND BODIES AND SOULS OF MEN (Human Trafficking, Sex Trafficking, Satanic Ritual Abuse, Human Sacrifices, Cannibalism, etc.)!  THE FRUIT, THAT YOUR SOUL LONGED FOR – HAS GONE FROM YOU; AND ALL THE THINGS, WHICH ARE RICH AND SPLENDID – HAVE GONE FROM YOU; AND YOU SHALL FIND THEM – NO MORE AT ALL!  THE MERCHANTS OF THESE THINGS, WHO BECAME RICH – BY HER; WILL STAND AT A DISTANCE – FOR FEAR OF HER TORMENT, WEEPING AND WAILING, AND SAYING, ‘ALAS, ALAS, THAT GREAT CITY (Babylon), THAT WAS CLOTHED – IN FINE LINEN, PURPLE, AND SCARLET, AND ADORNED WITH GOLD, AND PRECIOUS STONES, AND PEARLS!  FOR IN ONE (Literal) HOUR, SUCH GREAT RICHES CAME TO NOTHING!’  EVERY SHIPMASTER, ALL WHO TRAVEL BY SHIP, SAILORS, AND AS MANY AS TRADE ON THE SEA; STOOD AT A DISTANCE, AND CRIED OUT, WHEN THEY SAW – THE SMOKE OF HER BURNING, SAYING, ‘WHAT IS LIKE – THIS GREAT CITY (Babylon)?’”

“THEY THREW DUST ON THEIR HEADS, AND CRIED OUT, WEEPING AND WAILING, AND SAYING, ‘ALAS, ALAS, THAT GREAT CITY (Babylon), IN WHICH, ALL, WHO HAD SHIPS ON THE SEA, BECAME RICH – BY HER WEALTH!  FOR IN ONE HOUR – SHE IS MADE DESOLATE!’”

“REJOICE OVER HER, O HEAVEN, AND YOU – HOLY APOSTLES AND PROPHETS (Of GOD Almighty); FOR GOD (GOD Almighty) HAS AVENGED YOU – ON HER!”

THEN, A MIGHTY ANGEL, TOOK UP A STONE – LIKE A GREAT MILLSTONE, AND THREW IT – INTO THE SEA, SAYING, “THUS, WITH VIOLENCE, THE GREAT CITY, BABYLON, SHALL BE THROWN DOWN, AND SHALL NOT BE FOUND ANYMORE!  THE SOUND OF HARPISTS, MUSICIANS, FLUTISTS, AND TRUMPETERS, SHALL NOT BE HEARD IN YOU ANYMORE!  NO CRAFTSMAN OF ANY CRAFT SHALL BE FOUND IN YOU ANYMORE; AND THE SOUND OF A MILLSTONE SHALL NOT BE HEARD IN YOU ANYMORE!  THE LIGHT OF A LAMP SHALL NOT SHINE IN YOU ANYMORE; AND THE VOICE OF BRIDEGROOM AND BRIDE SHALL NOT BE HEARD IN YOU ANYMORE!  FOR YOUR MERCHANTS WERE – THE GREAT MEN OF THE EARTH (DEMON-POSSESSED CONSPIRATORS); FOR BY YOUR SORCERY (Pharmakeia: Drugs) – ALL THE NATIONS WERE DECEIVED (By Satan)!  AND IN HER WAS FOUND – THE BLOOD OF PROPHETS (Of GOD Almighty) AND SAINTS (The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), AND OF ALL, WHO WERE SLAIN ON THE EARTH!”

Revelation 19:1-3

AFTER THESE THINGS, I HEARD – A LOUD VOICE OF A GREAT MULTITUDE IN HEAVEN, SAYING, “ALLELUIA!  SALVATION, AND GLORY, AND HONOR, AND POWER – BELONG TO THE LORD OUR GOD (GOD Almighty)!  FOR TRUE AND RIGHTEOUS – ARE HIS (GOD Almighty’s) JUDGMENTS, BECAUSE HE (GOD Almighty) HAS JUDGED THE GREAT HARLOT, WHO CORRUPTED THE EARTH – WITH HER FORNICATION; AND HE (GOD Almighty) HAS AVENGED ON HER, THE BLOOD OF HIS SERVANTS – SHED BY HER!”  AGAIN, THEY SAID, “ALLELUIA!  HER SMOKE RISES UP – FOREVER, AND EVER!”
