Bible prophecy - Revrlation 18 - Babylon destroyed.

Merchants weeping

Revelation 18:1 thru 11

And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having

great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is

fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit,

and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the

kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of

the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people,

that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her

iniquities.Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double

according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and

sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow,

and shall see no sorrow.

Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine;

and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who

judgeth her.

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously

with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke

of her burning,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.

And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man

buyeth their merchandise any more:

Revelation 18:15

The merchants, which were made rich by her, shall

stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

And saying, Alas, alas, that great city...
