Revelation 18:8




“Therefore her plagues will come in one day – death and mourning and famine.  And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.


  • ·        The destruction of commercial Babylon will come suddenly, and with completeness (utterly burned with fire). (DG)

  • ·        When destruction comes on a people suddenly, the surprise is a great aggravation of their misery (MH)

Ezekiel 28:2…. Because your heart is lifted up, and you say, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods.  In the midst of the seas,”  Yet you are a man, and not a god, though you set your heart as the heart of a god.

Zephaniah 2:15  This is the rejoicing city that dwelt securely that said in her heart, ‘I am it, and there is none besides me.”  How has she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down!  Everyone who passes by her shall hiss and shake his fist.
