4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
  • Christ is calling His people out of confusion and into the truth.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
  • It is interesting to note that God remembers Babylon's iniquities. Yet pardons Israel
  • Jeremiah 50:20 In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.

    20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
  • Revelation 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

    8 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 God who judgeth her.
    9 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.
  • She says that she is ''no widow'', so you see, She has prematurely wed the wrong husband.

  • The elect of Israel, they wait and know our wedding feast and marriage to Christ, our husband, shall soon take place.
  • Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
    2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
    3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
    4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
8 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 God who judgeth her.
  • The fire will continue to cleanse throughout the millennium
  • Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.

  • The ''kings of the earth'', Are the inhabitants of Babylon, ''The Kenites''
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
  • Jeremiah 51:8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so she may be healed.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
  • We see here why some will still fall at the end of the millennium, as they personally witness God's victory. They still mourn for Satan's and his city of deception.
  • God shall have no mercy on them at that time.

13 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.
  • Note, the last object is the ''souls of men''
  • Satan's men have always dealt in souls and would have the elect's souls, If it was possible
