And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. Rev 18:1 This angel heralds the fall of the world system headed by the beast.

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. Rev 18:2 corrupt men corrup everything they touch.     At the time of the end man has corrupted every system.

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. Rev 18:3 prostitution is rampant as virtually all men have sold themselves to the devil in order to gain wealth and financial security.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues. Rev 18:4 At some point in the near future a line will be drawn such that those who cross it become part of the problem that is the world system of finance, business, conversation and politics.

For her sins have reached unto heaven, and the Lord has remembered her iniquities. Rev 18:5 Injustice is an abomination to the Lord.     The systems of men are now rampant with injustice and inequity.     He will destroy those who corrupted the systems and the systems themselves.

Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she has filled fill to her double. Rev 18:6 Selfish ego-centric people have populated the earth in conflict with the Lord's plan for us to be like Him - lovers and givers.

How much she has glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Rev 18:7 Financial security at all costs is the heart of the wicked.

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 who judges her. Rev 18:8 The Day Of Wrath is one day in which all the injustice and wickedness is destroyed from the face of the earth.

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, Rev 18:9 love not the world no the things of the world.     Yet most people love the world and the things that are in it.

Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city!     for in one hour is your judgment come. Rev 18:10 When the stock market crashes all those whose livelihoods depend on it are devastated.     What we see here is a global crash of the unified world financial system.

And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buys their merchandise any more: Rev 18:11 We see that is financial destruction.

The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, Rev 18:12 Materialism and commerce empowered by materialistic people.

And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. Rev 18:13 Merchandise of all sorts including the souls of men.

And the fruits that your soul lusted after are departed from you, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from you, and you shall find them no more at all. Rev 18:14 Materialism is the driving force behind the world economy.     economic collapse results in personal collapse.

The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, Rev 18:15 All those who have sold themselves into the world financial system will be crushed as it collapses.

And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! Rev 18:16 We see how they worshipped her.

For in one hour so great riches is come to nought.     And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, Rev 18:17 A global economy is a set up for a global collapse.     Those who are building the global economy are foolish not to see the risk.

And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! Rev 18:18 It was truly amazing but now it is dust.

And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and 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. Rev 18:19 Again, we see the world worshipping the global economy and world financial system that it empowered.

Rejoice over her, you heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets; for the Lord has avenged you on her. Rev 18:20 Because people of faith were excluded from the world financial system they rejoice at its collapse.

And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. Rev 18:21 There will be no world financial system in the Millennial Kingdom.

And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in you; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in you; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in you; Rev 18:22 The machinery of the world economy will grind to a halt never to be reactivated.

And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in you; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in you: for your merchants were the great men of the earth; for by your sorceries were all nations deceived. Rev 18:23 Our current administration (Biden) is practicing sorcery by insituting policies that are touted as good while in reality they are self-destructive.

And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. Rev 18:24 Those entrenched in power are always manipulated by Satan to come against the plan of the Lord.
