Fall of Commercial Babylon   

     Revelation chapter 18 deserves a look as we follow the miracles. 

     In his vision John saw another angel coming down from heaven. "With a mighty voice he shouted:

     'Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great. She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit... For the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth commit adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.'"

     "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues, for her sins are piled up to heaven... When the kings of the earth who ... shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her." 

     "Terrified by her torment, they will stand far off and cry: 'Woe! Woe, O great city. In one hour your doom has come.'" 

     "The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more. Every sea captain and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off."

     "Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: 'With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again. Your merchants were the world's great men.'"

     "By your magic spell all the nations were led astray. In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth."
