The Babylon spoken of here is America. There can be no doubt. "One Nation Under God" seems to be less than half a nation under God these days. It seems that we've thrown away, that which made us great. Just as Isreal did, we have turned our back on God. We, as a nation will be "thrown down" and merchants the world over will weep for there will be no America to buy their goods anymore.
REV 18:23 Meaning was relevant then and even more relevant today. It means the human light or spirit is not bright due to the weathy merchants aka masters of this world-Evil Corporations that spin lies, illusions or sorcery on all humans and all the countries are deceived. Eg. Medi-Pharma Cartells that kill Pharmakia in ancient Greek: Sorcery or creating spells with illusions, potions and drugs.
When i read Rev 18, I think abut the woman taken in adultry that they wanted to stone but Jesus said he that is without sin let him cast the 1st stone. We are the Woman that has been taken in adultry , humanity We go a whoring after all these materialist things that religion/satan offers us. Jesus wrote on the ground, meaning he is gonna write on our hearts GO AND SIN NO MORE, HIS BAPTISM OF FIRE
Revelation 18:23 says the candle will light no more and the voice of the bride and groom will be heard no more.the walks in a miraculous way I bless your name Amen
My biggest take away from Revelation 18 is in verse 4 "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". Many of gods people are still in and worshiping this false beast/church. Wake up and come out of her/it. Confess sins to god and not the pope. Call no man father but almighty god in heaven.
21 This 'millstone' is a very, very heavy stone (maybe 10-20,000 pounds) shaped perfectly round into a wheel; grains such as corn, wheat is placed under it and it is rolled over the grain to CRUSH the grain into very fine flour or fine corn meal; when such stone / weight is dropped into the sea, it very quickly sink to the bottom of the sea and 'Will Never' be found again, ...HER REWARDS. WOW!

When it comes to pass the witnesses will finally know for sure what the great city, or false church or wealthy but sinful nation is spoken of here; in the Holy Book of Revelation 18:1- Because of current global tensions--the "Great City" refers to what--clearly the nations are deceived and her sins flagrant--angering God.......
9-19 'the great city' or 'babylon the great' received her plagues that day, and the moring after there is death, and mourning, and famine as she she is be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. All Kings of the earth, merchants, captians of ships, cry, cry, cry, over her/ their partner in sin/ crime because their relationship is forever-over /finished with her. WOW!
18 above... she earned the title 'Babylon the Great'; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived; She seduced all kings... now she shall receive her reward for her actions... Lots of blood is on her hand, now she must pay for her actions... The 'love' of / for money is the root to all evil; Ships sailed from afar to do buisness with her... She controled World-Wide buying and selling in 18.
Jesus - Matthew 23:37 - O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. Jerusalem KILLED the PROPHETS
Babylon San Francisco. The city will be destroyed by an earthquake. California's electricity will be knocked out. The United Nations Conference on International Organization (UNCIO) was a convention of delegates from 50 Allied nations that took place from 25 April 1945 to 26 June 1945 in San Francisco, United States.
The image of the dragon and the whore sitting on his back is much older than the Church of Rome; and is more deeply entrenched in the hearts and minds of the men of the world than merely the Catholic Church. It goes back to about 100 years after the flood, when Nimrod began to be mighty in the earth, and the turning away of the hearts and minds of men against God and against His Anointed. Psalm 2
Babylon the great is the false religion where kings of the earth and rulers (wild beast)fornicate with her she is like a prostitute because she has relations with all of them
Menno- that's the beast of Rev 13, who gives power to first beast, which is Rome. Look at all the ones reaching out. This is 500th anniversary of protestant ref.and ROME says it's over as all the Lutherans are rejoining Rome. Who is SHE to say it's over, she didn't start it, Bible believing Christians did. Deadly wound - healed. She runs kings and the world's commerce . BTW all US pres. R royalty!
Remember one cannot serve both God, and Mammon ( money ) so the system of money is what Has been taken away here... Merchandising, wood, stone, silver, and gold, and......it not speaking of any one nation, but the monetary system of the whole world.....some are richer than others... Is all.....
I was looking for the phrase this week, "come out of her my people" which I entered but I
Did not get any result. Luckily I found it by myself today. I just thought you might like to
See that. I must admit I only searched the 1st page. But thinking it was such a oft quoted
Phrase I thought it would have come up quickly, even the first selected. I put in both Old and
New testaments.
I believe that Revelation chapter 18 refers to the USA. And that the part about the whole world watching what happens to USA; was also conveyed many years later in 1775 by an Angel who appeared to George Washington. Google Search "George Washington's Vision" and see what the Angel showed George Washington...especially the Third Great Peril that was ahead for that future nation.
WOW! In 18 she has earned the title 'Babylon the Great'; She was and still is so good at what she do/did therefore all nations of the world desires her (directly or indirectly)... And she shall receive her reward for her actions... Lots of blood is on her hand, now she must pay for her actions... The 'love' of/for money is the root to all evil. World-Wide buying and selling in 18. WOW!
It is true that all the kings of the Earth have fornicated with the Roman Catholic church. The Catholic church created Islam to control Middle East then the situation ran out of their control. Together, the two satanic religions control 75% of the earth. Our Messiah will utterly destroy these religions and send their beneficiaries to eternal torment. Come Lord Jesus come.
Rev. 18:5-8 - GOD said HE wouldn't remember the repentant sins of a sincere heart; but in verse 5, HE says, to the wicked nation, that HE has remembered their sins
Orrilille is right with his answer.Remember folks,your imaginations,your feelings,your ideas,and what you you own will not save you.Get your head and faith in Gods word and look up words to find out the meaning.Don't be lazy and just say "you think,you guess".Trust in the Lord's words and in Him.Spend time on Him.Bet your not lazy when you collect your paycheck.
