BOOK OF REVELATION

17 - The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and then a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It’s done!”

     18 And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was upon the earth, so great was that earthquake. {Isaiah 24:2/Rev.1:4.}

     19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drink fully the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. {Full cup of consequences.}

     20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, fell from heaven [ouranos - heaven, heavens, sky]. And they cursed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so great. {The higher and faster moisture rises, the bigger and greater the hail. And it forms in layers.}

             Paraphrased     

9 - And the kings of earth, who committed sexual immorality {were in bed with ‘her’} and lived in luxury with her, will weep and mourn when they see the smoke of her {$ity Babylon upon the seven continents/hills} burning. 10 They will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and will say, “Alas! Alas! That great city, that mighty city, Babylon! For in one hour your judgment comes.” 

     11 And the merchants of earth will weep and mourn for her. For no one buys their cargo anymore, 12 products of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen and silk and scarlet cloths, all fragrant woods, and articles of ivory, and fine wood, bronze, iron and marble, 13 cinnamon, spice, incense, perfumes and ointments, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, slaves, and human souls [psuche - soul, life, self, inner being] {human beings}. 14 “And the ripe fruit of you and the delicacies for which you lusted/longed for have gone from you. All your sumptuous splendors are lost and will not be found again.” [Ripe fruit - opóra - harvest, late summer, autumn.]

     15 The merchants of these things, who grew wealthy from her (the $ity) will stand far off, in fear of her torment, loudly weeping and mourning, 16 “Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, with jewels, and with pearls! 17 For in a single hour all that wealth has been laid waste.”

     And all shipmasters and seafaring men/traders, sailors and all whose - trade is on the sea - {in the past much more was done by sea} stood far off 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, “What city was like the great city?!” 19 And they threw dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out, “Alas, alas, for the great city - where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her costliness! For in one hour is she has laid waste.

20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, for God, for you, has given judgment against her!” {As you have done so shall it fall upon you.. reaping what you sow..}

     21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and will be found no more, 22 and the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will be no longer be heard in you, and no craftsman of any craft will be found - in you - any more, no more sound of the mill, will be heard in you. 23 The light of a lamp will not shine in you any more, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any more, for her merchants were the great ones of earth, and all nations were deceived by your sorcery [pharmakeia - sorcery, witchcraft, magic, enchantment, spells, deception, corruption, beguilement]. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of - all - who have been slain upon earth.” {Empire.}

BOOK OF REVELATION IN PICTURES - LESSON FOUR - THE MYSTERY CITY

Chapters 17 And 18

A strange thing!

A city,

                          called a woman,                      

"..riding upon a (red) beast..
 ..having seven heads and ten horns" (17:3)

We met this beast in Lesson Three.

The woman, called "Babylon"

And Harlot - Greek word "pornos"

- Who did corrupt the earth with her "porneia"

(translated wantonness, etc.) (From 19:2)

- The city reigns over the kings/politicians of the Earth, who are in bed with her.

And she made the merchants wealthy.  (Verse 18:3)

 

In one hour such great wealth is brought to ruin! -

The merchants will weep because no one buys their merchandise anymore — 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 cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and chariots; and human beings as slaves. (Verses 18:11-13,17)

She sits on seven hills, 

making them drunk with her wine (17:2,9) Corrupting the earth. (Verse 19:2)

Her judgment/results/consequences will come in one day,

death, mourning, famine and fire. (18:8)

And great hail... debris? (16:21)

Come out of her, my people - (18:4)

The ten horns of the red beast, which are kings/divisions/toes during very last days,

will hate her, consume her, and make her desolate. (17:16)

Extreme socialism will (at last)..

 ..do away with extreme capitalism

(which embraced "pornos" to "sell").

And on her forehead (psyche)...

Is written,

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,

THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS

AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS

OF THE EARTH.

(Mystery Babble - all untruth?)

And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints,

and of all who were slain upon earth. (18:24)

"In one hour" she crashes?                              

                                 And "in one day" she will fall.

When Comes The Crash?

Early on in my walk with the Lord, before I knew His Word at all, He ministered a verse to me. What I was getting my reading from in those first days was a book of daily scripture readings organized into related verses. I had no idea of context at that time.

The verse He ministered was "blessed is she who believes for there shall be a performance of those things told her by the Lord". Which I read as He will do what He has said He will do.

And He did.

In my morning reading and prayer time today, when I read Paul, while at storm tossed sea saying, "take heart men, for I believe it will be just as God has told me". I immediately thought of Bible prophecy, which I've gone into elsewhere on here, and blogged a "super short summary" of yesterday.

'But when does Babylon crash?" I thought, realizing it to be a hole in what I've learned as to upcoming things. So I prayed, asking the Lord, when does Babylon (the whole money thing) crash.

Then I was reminded there will be drought - Rev. 12:16 and Luke 23:28,31. And next, how the drought condition is caused by some sort of thermonuclear, war related event. The 'pause' of Rev. 7:1 being over.

Sounds logical, right? The Great Money System crashes after these two.

After thermonuclear, I would imagine is when the world beast/governance (of Rev. 12:1-10) becomes stronger. In the course of that of course is the seven year false peace treaty. (Middle East and Israel? And called 'world peace'?)

"In the midst of the treaty, the" (place of?) "daily prayers is taken away," Daniel 12:11.

"One thousand two hundred and ninety days - three and a half Hebrew years, plus one Hebrew month, which is thirty days - later, will be set up the abomination" (apparatus?) "of desolation" (666?).

"And blessed is the one who waits, and comes to the one thousand, three hundred and thirty-five days" - which is forty-five days later(?) - Daniel 12:12.

But the question partly remains. When 'exactly' does Babylon crash in the midst of all that.

After thermonuclear, after drought.. "The ten kings which rule one final hour with the" 'big' (world) "beast will desolate Babylon" the great $ity which embraced "pornos" (the Greek word translated "harlot") which enchanted the nations and seven continents, "ruining the earth". (See Rev. 12:15)

"The merchants will weep. For no one buys.. anymore."

1 John 2:27 was also in my morning readings.

Rev. 14:6-9 - Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people. He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”

A second angel followed and said, “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,’ which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.”

A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, he too will [have to] drink of the wine of the wrath of God.. (Man's fiery results.)

Revelation #7 - Crash In One Hour

= also (R.18:2-19,24 + 17:2) ( the 2nd = part of the prophecy sentence)
Revelation 18:2-19, 24 (Young's Literal Translation)
"..and the angel did cry in a great voice, saying, `Fall, fall did Babylon the Great, and she became a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird - because of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom" (greek word "pornos") "have all the nations drunk" (and seven hills/continents) "and the kings of the earth with her did commit whoredom" (were in bed with her) "and merchants of the earth from the power of her enchantments were made rich. - And I heard another voice out of the heaven, saying, `Come forth out of her, My people, that ye may not partake with her sins, and that ye may not receive of her plagues, - because her sins did follow -- unto the heaven" (she shook her fist at heaven) "and God did remember her unrighteousness. - Render to her as also she did render to you, and double to her doubles according to her works; in the cup" ("golden cup" of side effects, i.e. perversions, murders, abortions, etc, etc) "that she did mingle, mingle to her double. -  `As much as she did glorify herself and did revel, so much torment and sorrow give to her, because in her heart she saith, I sit a queen, and a widow I am not, and sorrow I shall not see; - because of this, in one day, shall come her plagues, death, and sorrow, and famine; and in fire she shall be utterly burned, because strong [is] the Lord God who is judging her; - and weep over her, and smite themselves for her, shall the kings of the earth, who with her did commit whoredom and did revel, when they may see the smoke of her burning, - from afar having stood because of the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city! Babylon, the strong city! because in one hour did come thy judgment. - `And the merchants of the earth shall weep and sorrow over her, because their lading no one doth buy any more; - lading of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearl, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyne wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious wood, and brass, and iron, and marble, - and cinnamon, and odours, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies and souls of men. - `And the fruits of the desire of thy soul did go away from you, and all things -- the dainty and the bright -- did go away from you, and no more at all mayest thou find them. - The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, far off shall stand because of the fear of her torment, weeping, and sorrowing, - and saying, Woe, woe, the great city, that was arrayed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded in gold, and precious stone, and pearls -- because in one hour so much riches were made waste!" (collapse in one hour) -  `And every shipmaster, and all the company upon the ships, and sailors, and as many as work the sea" (i.e. trade) "far off stood, - and were crying, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like to the great city? - and they did cast dust upon their heads, and were crying out, weeping and sorrowing, saying, Woe, woe, the great city! in which were made rich all having ships in the sea, out of her costliness -- for in one hour was she made waste... ..On the streets of Babylon is found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."
Revelation 17:2 - (Contemporary English Version)
"Every king on earth has slept with her, and her shameless ways are like wine that has made everyone on earth drunk.” (And immoral.)

The whole sentence:  R.12:14(USA) + (R.6:12-17 + 13:13@1945) + (Mt.24:1,2 + Dan.12:11a) + [Lk.23:31 + R.12:16 + Mk.13:8] + [Dan.12:11,12 + R.13:17 + Mt.24:15] = [R.20:4b\R.2:10 + Dan.12:12] + (R.18:2-19,24 + 17:2)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
In other words, what I have gathered will likely unfold concerning Bible 'end' times prophecy is there will be a seven year peace treaty of the nations of the world. (Or just in the Middle East as some think?) In "the midst" or middle of this 'peace' the Wailing Wall, a place of daily worship and petition in Jerusalem, will be taken away and removed. And roughly three and one half years later, the "abomination which desolates" (666) will be "set-up" affecting "buying and selling" for forty five days, with the last ten days becoming critical (Revelation 20:4b and 2:10). [Daniel 9:27; 12:11,12 and Matthew 24:1,2]
 ~ I'm on the look out for a verse or verses which mention a 'marriage' of two world political powers.. The (world) beast of Rev 13:1-10 married to or infiltrated by the political force which has in it Rev 20:4b.
