Revelation i8:17-18




“For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.’  Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance and cried out when they say the smoke of her burning, saying, “What is like this great city?’


  • ·        Even Babylon’s friends will stand at a distance from her fall. (MH)

  • ·        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)

Isaiah 23;14  Wail, you ships of Tarshish!  For your strength is laid waste.

Ezekiel 27:29-31  All who handle the oar, the mariners, all the pilots of the sea will come down from their ships and stand on the shore.  They will make their voice heard because of you; they will cry bitterly and cast dust on their heads…….
