Revelation 18

 

¹& AFTER THESE THINGS I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, HAVING GREAT POWER; & THE EARTH WAS LIGHTENED WITH HIS GLORY. 2: & HE CRIED MIGHTILY WITH A STRONG VOICE, SAYING,

BABYLON THE GREAT IS FALLEN, IS FALLEN,

& IS BECOME THE HABITATION OF DEVILS, & THE HOLD OF EVERY FOUL SPIRIT, & A CAGE OF EVERY UNCLEAN & HATEFUL BIRD. 3: FOR ALL NATIONS HAVE DRUNK OF THE WINE OF THE WRATH OF HER FORNICATION, & THE KINGS OF THE EARTH HAVE COMMITTED FORNICATION WITH HER, & THE MERCHANTS OF THE EARTH ARE WAXED RICH THROUGH THE ABUNDANCE OF HER DELICACIES.  4: & I HEARD ANOTHER VOICE FROM HEAVEN, SAYING, COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, THAT YE BE NOT PARTAKERS OF HER SINS, & THAT YE RECEIVE NOT OF HER PLAGUES. 5: FOR HER SINS HAVE REACHED UNTO HEAVEN, & GOD HATH REMEMBERED HER INIQUITIES. 6: REWARD HER EVEN AS SHE REWARDED YOU, & DOUBLE UNTO HER DOUBLE ACCORDING TO HER WORKS: IN THE CUP WHICH SHE HATH FILLED FILL TO HER DOUBLE. 7: HOW MUCH SHE HATH GLORIFIED HERSELF, & LIVED DELICIOUSLY, SO MUCH TORMENT & SORROW GIVE HER: FOR SHE SAITH IN HER HEART,

I SIT A QUEEN,

& AM NO WIDOW,

& SHALL SEE NO SORROW

Again, the mirrored likeness of the great Babylon who once reigned     

Christ cannot be any more demanding at this moment. His counsel is loud. Where else could His people be that they would not be enlightened of their situation?        

Christianity has become the birthplace of the unclean spirits - souls. Souls in forms of priests, ministers & TV gods are steadily entering Her circle. The church has become the sanctuary of the closet gay & pedophile.        

The various offspring of the beast recognize little but themselves & their obsession for wealth. They demand that others look after the world's hungry, & homeless children.

She & Her harlots do sit like a queens, thinking they are in need of nothing.

 

8: THEREFORE SHALL HER PLAGUES COME IN ONE DAY, DEATH, & MOURNING, & FAMINE; & SHE SHALL BE UTTERLY BURNED WITH FIRE: FOR STRONG IS THE LORD GOD WHO JUDGETH HER       

A day is a year, the span it shall take to undress Her & show Her nakedness to what She has become. Perhaps a world wide movie?

 

9: & THE KINGS OF THE EARTH, WHO HAVE COMMITTED FORNICATION & LIVED DELICIOUSLY WITH HER, SHALL BEWAIL HER, & LAMENT FOR HER, WHEN THEY SHALL SEE THE SMOKE OF HER BURNING, 10: STANDING AFAR OFF FOR THE FEAR OF HER TORMENT, SAYING, ALAS, ALAS, THAT GREAT CITY BABYLON, THAT MIGHTY CITY! FOR IN ONE HOUR IS THY JUDGMENT COME. 11: & THE MERCHANTS OF THE EARTH SHALL WEEP & MOURN OVER HER; FOR NO MAN BUYETH THEIR MERCHANDISE ANY MORE:       

She will be judged in one hour - 1/24th of a year - about 15 days & will be made desolate by her followers

- will it be because of Arabs not losing Armageddon.

The ministers, the priests & TV gods - merchants of the earth - shall fall, as the empire will.

 

12: THE MERCHANDISE OF GOLD, & SILVER, & PRECIOUS STONES, & OF PEARLS, & FINE LINEN, & PURPLE, & SILK, & SCARLET, & ALL THYINE WOOD, & ALL MANNER VESSELS OF IVORY, & ALL MANNER VESSELS OF MOST PRECIOUS WOOD, & OF BRASS, & IRON, & MARBLE, 13: & CINNAMON, & ODOURS, & OINTMENTS, & FRANKINCENSE, & WINE, & OIL, & FINE FLOUR, & WHEAT, & BEASTS, & SHEEP, & HORSES, & CHARIOTS, & SLAVES, & SOULS OF MEN. 14: & THE FRUITS THAT THY SOUL LUSTED AFTER ARE DEPARTED FROM THEE, & ALL THINGS WHICH WERE DAINTY & GOODLY ARE DEPARTED FROM THEE, & THOU SHALT FIND THEM NO MORE AT ALL. 15: THE MERCHANTS OF THESE THINGS, WHICH WERE MADE RICH BY HER, SHALL STAND AFAR OFF FOR THE FEAR OF HER TORMENT, WEEPING & WAILING, 16: & SAYING, ALAS, ALAS,

THAT GREAT CITY,

THAT WAS CLOTHED IN FINE LINEN, & PURPLE, & SCARLET, & DECKED WITH GOLD, & PRECIOUS STONES, & PEARLS! 17: FOR IN ONE HOUR SO GREAT RICHES IS COME TO NOUGHT. & EVERY SHIPMASTER, & ALL THE COMPANY IN SHIPS, & SAILORS, & AS MANY AS TRADE BY SEA, STOOD AFAR OFF, 18: & CRIED WHEN THEY SAW THE SMOKE OF HER BURNING, SAYING, WHAT CITY IS LIKE UNTO THIS GREAT CITY!       

Only the Vatican conforms to the description of both the harlot & the city, for it is also a city        

The ships in the sea are the religious dwellings under Her leaders. The sea is people, tongues, & nations

 

19: & THEY CAST DUST ON THEIR HEADS, & CRIED, WEEPING & WAILING, SAYING, ALAS, ALAS, THAT GREAT CITY, WHEREIN WERE MADE RICH ALL THAT HAD SHIPS IN THE SEA BY REASON OF HER COSTLINESS! FOR IN ONE HOUR IS SHE MADE DESOLATE. 20: REJOICE OVER HER, THOU HEAVEN, & YE HOLY APOSTLES & PROPHETS; FOR GOD HATH AVENGED YOU ON HER. 21: & A MIGHTY ANGEL TOOK UP A STONE LIKE A GREAT MILLSTONE, & CAST IT INTO THE SEA, SAYING,

THUS WITH VIOLENCE SHALL THAT GREAT CITY BABYLON BE THROWN DOWN, & SHALL BE FOUND NO MORE AT ALL.

22: & THE VOICE OF HARPERS, & MUSICIANS, & OF PIPERS, & TRUMPETERS, SHALL BE HEARD NO MORE AT ALL IN THEE; & NO CRAFTSMAN, OF WHATSOEVER CRAFT HE BE, SHALL BE FOUND ANY MORE IN THEE; & THE SOUND OF A MILLSTONE SHALL BE HEARD NO MORE AT ALL IN THEE;       

Once the church begins to fall, there is no recovery.        

Where she governed the people, the people govern her.

The millstone is steadily grinding the real truth, far away from the churches, a way to reach all people without government & religious intervention.

THE LIGHT OF A CANDLE SHALL SHINE NO MORE AT ALL IN THEE; THE

VOICE OF THE BRIDEGROOM AND OF THE BRIDE SHALL BE HEARD NO MORE AT ALL IN THEE

Where else do we hear these voices

How much clearer must Christ be in defining the beast, Christianity?

FOR THY MERCHANTS WERE THE GREAT MEN OF THE EARTH; FOR BY SORCERIES WERE ALL NATIONS DECEIVED.

She & Her merchants have deceived all nations & their peoples!

 

24: & IN HER WAS FOUND THE BLOOD OF THE PROPHETS, & OF SAINTS, & OF ALL THAT WERE SLAIN UPON THE EARTH.
