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.
(the 9th hour of the day by Roman standards, it was approx 1 hour from the time the second plane struck to the time that tower fell. And it was approx 1 hour from the time the first plane struck to the time the last plane to hit a target struck the pentagon.)
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her;
(interesting…who wept? What fell….the WORLD TRADE CENTER…and what happened…)
for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
(The New York Stock Exchange for the first time closed it’s doors and they would remain closed until September 17th, 2001. IN THAT TIME, all those MERCHANTS representing the whole world’s kingdoms, could not sell their merchandise and they wept because NOT BECAUSE OF LIVES LOST…but because of MAMMON…because “No Man buyeth their merchandise any more:” and what about the merchandise of these merchants prophecied in scripture…what did they sell at the NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE…?))
12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts,(Cattle) and sheep, and horses, and chariots,
(GM, TOYOTA, CHRYSLER, FORD etc, etc)
and slaves
(Third world labor forces),
and souls of men.
(including but not limited to those very souls on the exchange floor having sold their very souls daily for mammon…and now this Angel of Revelation 18:1 is about to prophesy to the wicked in the land, to speak against The Modern Assryian…and what is it that he prophesies?)
14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
(FAMINE…HE PROPHECIES FAMINE! Then he begins to address again the righteous in the land and is now prophesying in the immediate timeframe…)
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
(and there was plenty of Weeping and Wailing…and the whole world feared the torment of the Modern Assyrian and continues to do so to this very day in fear of the Radical Extremist with Jihad in their hears as opposed to the Peace Loving Muslims of the world.)
16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city,
(in the days following due to the response of the people of New York to rise to the occasion, the city was first dubbed in honor by another country, and then touted itself to be as did the rest of this country to be “THE GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD!” So much so that the David Letterman show which along with the NYSE remained shut down until September 17th, made the announcement on that show as he addressed the nation and the entire world and to this day ever since, the opening for THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN continues to boast…”From New York City, THE GREATESt CITY IN THE WORLD)
that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought.
(Again, while the intial impact of the first plane to hit closed the NYSE, the collapse of the first tower insured that the NYSE CAME TO A DEAD STOP and their riches, of those whom live not for assets but for profits, came to NOTHING for one week))
And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
(many are the photos seen taken from ships in the harbor who witnessed and then…)
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads,
(preachers throughout the nation called for repentance, and prayer for revival in the land…casting dust upon their heads, and as well did those volunteers who rushed to help who themselves when the towers collapsed were then covered with dust in footage and photos that remain to this day…and upon those buildings collapsing, of which David Koresh in Surviving Audio sermons nearly 16 years prior prophesied of the passage of Revelation 18:1 verbatim…”and you aint gonna believe how Bad he brings them down (is fallen, is fallen) HE is going to bring it down WITH A CRASH!” Verbatim the statement was forewarned…and of those on the ground there were those covered with dust)
and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
(And now, in the next verse comes instruction to the children of God both Living and martyred along with the host of Heaven to…)
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
(this is how, they were to repay Babylon for that which she had given them, this his how they were to repay her double. THEY WERE TO REJOICE IN HER ANGUISH…as does the very HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD as noted and personified as “Wisdom” prophesying in Proverbs to Mock the wicked in their calamity to laugh at them in their derision. For in there was nothing they needed to do…the did not need to stoop to the levels of the Modern Assyrian, they needed only trust God…for the passage delclares that “GOD HATH AVENGED YOU ON HER…” and in the passage of Chapter 17 in the last few verses leading to this chapter it is noted that God moves the hearts of the Kings of the earth to perfom his will. While one can blame Osama Bin Laden, another the CIA, another the Masons, another the Illuminati….no matter the truth behind the event, it was God who moved the wicked and then let the agenda of heaven be seen in the events. OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER, HOUR AFTER HOUR AFTER HOUR AFTER HOUR, DAY AFTER DAY, AFTER DAY, AFTER DAY, AFTER DAY for 3 weeks….3 numbers were repeated even moreso than the phrase “9/11” in that timeframe, driven into the collective conscious of this entire nation and broadcast to the world…..”4, the number of planes HiJacked….19….the number of Hijackers alleged to have committed that atrocity…and to this day, if you ask for a flight number of any one of those 4 planes, most could not tell you, and of those who could one number stands out beyond all the rest, the one plane that did not make it’s target…flight 93. HOUR AFTER HOUR, AFTER HOUR, AFTER HOUR…DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY….a matter of Divine retribution on the table being made tangible to this world from that which is not to the wicked tangible at all until it is too late…the hand of God, in the Hearts of men….4.19.93
4.19.93
4.19.93
4.19.93
4.19.93 over, and over, and over like a broken record…and as for those plagues in the early part of Revelation 18 which have not yet been seen as obviously manifest and that all consuming fire, it along with the next passage is on the horizon…)
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
(And now the Wicked in the Land in vs 20 are addressed directly along in audience with the righteous sitting silent and watching and praying as JUDGEMENT is announced against BABYLON of the nation, the MODERN ASSYRIAN)
UPDATE: January 12, 2013******
When I originally posted this in April of 2011, 95% or better of Revelation 18 could be seen as having been fulfilled. KEEP in mind this Angel of Revelation 18 when delivering this message is doing so at a time MOST of the events in his message have ALREADY OCCURRED! At the timeframe of April 2011, None of Vs 21 had occurred, the Plagues are still on the HORIZON to be
