1 Revelation 18

2 The Coming Economic Earthquake

3 Economic Center of the World will be destroyed - Rev. 18

4 The Economic Center of the World will be Destroyed Rev. 18:1 After these things I saw another angel, who possessed great authority, coming down out of heaven, and the earth was lit up by his radiance.

5 The Economic Center of the World will be Destroyed Rev. 18:2 He shouted with a powerful voice: Fallen, fallen, is Babylon the great! She has become a lair for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detested beast.

6 A Reason the Economic Center of the World will be Destroyed Rev.18:3 For all the nations have fallen from the wine of her immoral passion, and the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have gotten rich from the power of her sensual behavior.

7 A Plea for God s People to Flee Rev. 18:4-5 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out of her, my people, so you will not take part in her sins and so you will not receive her plagues, because her sins have piled up all the way to heaven and God has remembered her crimes.

8 God Judges Babylon because of her wicked deeds Rev. 18:6 Repay her the same way she repaid others; pay her back double corresponding to her deeds. In the cup she mixed, mix double the amount for her.

9 God Judges Babylon because of her wicked deeds Rev. 18:7 As much as she exalted herself and lived in sensual luxury, to this extent give her torment and grief because she said to herself, I rule as queen and am no widow; I will never experience grief! (Isaiah 47:8-11)

10 God Judges Babylon because of her wicked deeds Rev. 18:8 For this reason, she will experience her plagues in a single day: disease, mourning, and famine, and she will be burned down with fire, because the Lord God who judges her is powerful!

11 Kings, Merchants and sea Captains Lament the destruction of Babylon Rev. 18:9-19

12 Kings lament Babylon s destruction Rev. 18:9 Then the kings of the earth who committed immoral acts with her and lived in sensual luxury with her will weep and wail for her when they see the smoke from the fire that burns her up.

13 Kings lament Babylon s destruction Rev. 18:10 They will stand a long way off because they are afraid of her torment, and will say, Woe, woe, O great city, Babylon the powerful city! For in a single hour your doom has come!

14 Merchants lament Her Destruction Rev. 18:11-12a Then the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn for her because no one buys their cargo any longer- cargo such as gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all sorts of things made of citron wood, all sorts of objects made of ivory

15 Merchants lament Her Destruction Rev. 18:12-13 all sorts of things made of expensive wood, bronze, iron and marble, cinnamon, spice, incense, perfumed ointment, frankincense, wine, olive oil and costly flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and four-wheeled carriages, slaves and human lives.

16 Merchants lament Her Destruction Rev. 18:14-15a (The ripe fruit you greatly desired has gone from you, and all your luxury and splendor have gone from you they will never ever be found again!) The merchants who sold these things, who got rich from her, will stand a long way off because they are afraid of her torment.

17 Merchants lament Her Destruction Rev. 18:15b-17a They will weep and mourn, saying, Woe, woe, O great city dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet clothing, and adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls because in a single hour such great wealth has been destroyed!

18 Sea captain s lament her Doom Rev. 18:17b-18 And every ship s captain, and all who sail along the coast seamen, and all who make their living from the sea, stood a long way off and began to shout when they saw the smoke from the fire that burned her up, Who is like the great city?

19 Sea captain s lament her Doom Rev. 18:19 And they threw dust on their heads and were shouting with weeping and mourning, Woe, Woe, O great city in which all those who had ships on the sea got rich from her wealth because in a single hour she has been destroyed!

20 Heaven will Rejoice when Babylon is Judged Rev. 18:20 (Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, for God has pronounced judgment against her on your behalf!)

21 Promise of Babylon s Destruction Rev. 18:21-22a Then one powerful angel picked up a stone like a huge millstone, threw it into the sea, and said, With this kind of sudden violent force Babylon the great city will be thrown down and it will never be found again! And the sound of the harpists, musicians, flute players, and trumpeters will never be heard in you again

22 Promise of Babylon s Destruction Rev. 18:22b-23 No craftsman who practices any trade will ever be found in you again; the noise of a mill will never be heard in you again. Even the light from a lamp will never shine in you again! The voices of the bridegroom and his bride will never be heard in you again.

23 Reason s for Babylon s Doom Rev. 18:23b-24 For your merchants were the tycoons of the world, because all the nations were deceived by your magic spells! The blood of the saints and prophets was found in her, along with the blood of all those who had been killed on the earth.

38 He is no fool who gives what he can not keep to gain what he can not loose - Jim Elliot
