“The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’
· The mourners: those who had been bewitched by her fornication, and those who had been gainers by her wealth and trade – the kings and the merchants of the earth. (MH)
· Even Babylon’s friends will stand at a distance from her fall. Though they had been partakers with her in her sinful pleasures and profits, they were not willing to bear a share in her plagues. (MH)
Ezekiel 26:17 And they will take up a lamentation for you, and say to you: How you have perished…….
Isaiah 21:9 ….”Babylon is fallen, is fallen! And all the carved images of her gods He has broken to the ground.”
