THE BOOK OF REVELATION: M. M. NINAN The "Fall of Babylon" to Cyrus the Great c.539 BC, depicted in a medieval tapestry. (Rev 18:3) because of the wine of the anger of her fornication which all the nations have drunk. And the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her. And the merchants of the earth became rich from the power of her luxury. • It is a rich commercial center which did commerce with all the rest of the commercial cities of the world (Rev 18:4) And I heard another voice from Heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that you may not be partakers of her sins, and that you may not receive of her plagues. 258
THE BOOK OF REVELATION: M. M. NINAN (Rev 18:5) For her sins joined together, even up to Heaven, and God has remembered her unjust deeds. (Rev 18:6) Reward her as she has rewarded you, and double to her double, according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix double to her. (Rev 18:7) As much as she has glorified herself and has lived in luxury, so much torment and sorrow give her. For she says in her heart, I sit as a queen, and I am not a widow; and I do not see mourning at all. (Rev 18:8) Therefore her plagues will come in one day, death and mourning and famine. And she will be consumed with fire, for the Lord God who judges her is strong. This is describing 3 sins she is guilty of. (1) "She has glorified herself". (2) "She lived in luxury" (3) "I sit as a queen, and I am not a widow, and do not see no mourning at all" It echoes the ancient prophecy on Babylon: Isa 47:7-8 And you said, I shall be a mistress forever; so you did not lay these things to your heart, nor remembered the latter end of it. Now then hear this, O pleasure seeker, who lives carelessly; who says in her heart, I am, and none else is; I shall not sit as a widow, nor shall I know the loss of children. But these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come on you in their fullness for the multitude of your sorceries, and for the great power of your enchantments. For you have trusted in your wickedness; (Rev 18:9) And the kings of the earth who have committed fornication and lived in luxury with her will weep for her, and will wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning; (Rev 18:10) standing afar off for fear of her torment, saying, Woe! Woe to the great city, Babylon, that strong city! For in one hour your judgment came. (Rev 18:11) And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their cargo any more; The following verses describes the cargo the Babylon the great commercial city traded with (Rev 18:12) the cargo of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and every ivory vessel, and every vessel of very precious wood, and of bronze, and of iron, and of marble, (Rev 18:13) and cinnamon, and incenses, and ointment, 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. 259
