Revelation 18: Babylon Falls, Kings Weep

Babylon Falls, Kings Weep

This a probably a different Babylon in this chapter than the one mentioned in Chapter 17. The Babylon in Chapter 18 has some characteristics that are not contained within the Babylon of Chapter 18, such as great city, port city (coastal), habitation, marketplace, guilty of greed and self-indulgence and destroyed by sudden act of God (Dave Guzik). In verse 9 we read "and the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning." That means the leaders (not all necessarily will be kings) who were connected to her and benefiting from her (power, greed, ungodly things) will lose the influence and power they had with Babylon as it will fall. As I stated in yesterday's post, the Lamb wins again.

Revelation 11: The Seventh Trumpet

The Seventh Trumpet

The seventh trumpet sounded and the loud voices that came from Heaven said in Revelation 11:15 "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever." What does this mean? This means that the kingdom of the world belongs to Jesus. But the world isn't one kingdom as it has 7 continents (currently) and many countries with different rulers and methods of governing. But once that 7th trumpet sounds, Jesus will rule all. It won't matter what continent or country you live in. No matter what city, town or state, Jesus will have rule over all. Not for a short while. Not for a week. Not for a year, but "forever and ever."
