The final prophecy The Fall of Bablyon - America - Revelation 18 - Confirms Jeremiah 51, Isaiah 13
After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority and the earth was illuminated with his splendor. With a mighty voice he shouted:
Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!
She has become a home for demons
and a haunt for every evil spirit,
and a haunt for every detestable bird.
For all the nations have drunk
the maddening wine of her adulteries.
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,
and the merchants of the earth
grew rich from her excessive luxuries.
then I heard another voice from heaven say,
Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins,
so that you will not receive any of her plagues,
for her sins have piled up to heaven,
and God has remembered her crimes.
Give back to her as she has given,
pay her back double for what she has done,
Mix her a double portion from her own cup.
Give her as much torture and grief
as the glory and luxury she gave herself.
In her heart she boasts,
I sit as a queen, I am not a widow,
and I will never mourn,
Therefore, in one day her plagues,
will over take her: death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,
for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury
see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. Terrified at her torment,
they will stand far off and cry:
Woe! Woe, O great city,
O Babylon, city of power!
In one hour your doom has come!
The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more -
cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls, fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth, every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble, cargoes of cinammon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour, and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and carriages, and bodies and souls of men.
They will say, The fruit you longed for is gone from you, All your riches and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered. The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn and cry out:
Woe! Woe, O great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls!
In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!
Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. When they see the smoke of her burning, the will exclaim, Was there ever a city like this great city? They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out:
Woe! Woe, O great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth!
In one hour she has been brought to ruin!
Rejoice over her, O heaven! Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets! God has judged her for the way she treated you.
Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said,
With great violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down , never to be found again.
The music of harpists and musicians, and flute players and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again.
No workman of any trade will ever be found in you again.
The sound of the millstone will never be heard in you again.
The light of the lamp will never shine in you again.
The voice of the bridegroom and the bride will never be heard in you again.
Your merchants were the worlds great men.
By your magic spell all the nations were led astray. In her was found the blood of the prophets and of the saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth. Revelation of Jesus Christ 18: 1 - 24
The Lord is warning his church to come out of sin and repent. Without holiness, no one will see the Lord. We cannot claim to walk as Jesus did and live in sin. All liars will be in the lake of fire. It is written:
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars - their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfer. This is the second death. Revelation 21: 8
Once saved always saved is a lie. It is written: Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy. Without holiness no one will see the Lord. - Hebrews 12 : 14
