Special Studies - Revelation Chapter 18
The Fall Of End Time Babylon The Great
Revelation 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
[
Note:
“And after these things”. After what things? After chapter seventeen where the whore is worshiping the devil in the one world beast system.
]
Revelation 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Revelation 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
[
Note:
All nations have worshiped the devil as though he were CHRIST. These kings are not the ten horns spoken of in Revelation chapter seventeen which are fallen angels. These are the miry clay, that mix with those angels in Revelation seventeen and are the earthly kings that mix with the ten fallen angels that are represented in the ten toes of king Nebuchadnezzar’s image in his dream in Daniel chapter two. The earthly kings are represented by the clay and the fallen angels that are given power "as kings" for one our with the beast are the represented by the iron as shown in the image of Daniel chapter two.
The merchants of the earth is the baal way. Buy and sell. If you don’t take the mark of the beast, you cannot buy or sell. Be prepared before this comes about. Remember the five virgins that went to buy oil for their lamps? In order to buy, they had to take the mark. They did not know TRUTH, so they worshiped the devil and his baal system. The five virgins that did keep their lamps full with OIL went in for the wedding, and JESUS shut the door. When the five that did not keep their lamps full returned and knocked on the door, JESUS said: Depart from ME, I never knew you (not an exact quote).
There is something important to notice here; the angel cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen. Babylon the great has fallen morally. It’s the habitation of evil spirits. At this point in time, the process of the hour of temptation is coming to an end.
Many rapture deceivers claim that the church has been raptured away to the marriage supper of the LAMB before the hour of temptation starts on the earth. We can see these things are sequential because it says “And after these things” as this chapter starts, indicating that it is after the things of Revelation chapter seventeen. The point is that Babylon is fallen, yet the marriage supper of the LAMB does not take place until the next chapter (chapter nineteen), and even in chapter nineteen, the chapter starts out with “And after these things”, meaning even the things of this chapter are sequential to the next chapter. So, when you find yourself as the prey of a deceiver, or notice someone else being deceived, destroy their deception with TRUTH. Show the victim and the deceiver these verses and explain to them the TRUTH. Expose the deceivers and their deception. If the deceiver is not deceiving intentionally, you may gain both.
Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Revelation 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

Revelation 18:4 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.
[
Note:
In order for the voice from Heaven to say: “Come out of her, my people”, it makes me believe that the Voice belongs to GOD, for the voice says “my people”. Even if the voice is not GOD’S Voice, it would be spoken by GOD’S Will. Also, in order for the voice to say: “Come out of her”, meaning come out of Babylon (confusion), it must be speaking to those that have taken the mark of the beast and joined the one world Babylonian system. If these people, GOD'S people, GOD'S children that were supposed to be the Bride of CHRIST, had not taken the mark of the beast, they would not be in her (Babylon the great) in the first place.
In previous studies, we have learned that Zerubbabel (the 144,000), which consists of twelve thousand from each of the listed tribes of Israel in Revelation chapter seven, receives The Seal Of GOD. We could see that this is during the hour of temptation because it happens after Revelation chapter six, which is the development of the one world system as noted in the Seals. And chapter seven opens with the same statement to show sequence (which says “And after these things”, meaning after the things of Revelation chapter six). I believe that those that GOD calls out of her (end time Babylon) are those who Zerubbabel finishes that Temple with by calling them out of Babylon, and that they are shown at the end of Revelation chapter seven.
When GOD Speaks, HE does so through HIS election by the Voice of THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Notice that this verse (Revelation 18:4) says “And I heard another voice”. I don’t believe this refers to another voice other than the angels voice that stated that Babylon is fallen. In other words, the angel is telling John what has happened. I believe that the previous Voice is the angel telling John that of THE HOLY SPIRIT Speaking through GOD’S seven thousand, the election has resulted in the fall of Babylon the great.
I believe that this current Voice (“another voice”) happens by way of Zerubbabel as he finishes building The End Time Temple Of The LORD. GOD’S seven thousand, the election are delivered up for a testimony against satan. All who hear THE HOLY SPIRIT Speak through GOD’S seven thousand the election will hear it in their own language. Zerubbabel (the 144,000) hear GOD’S seven thousand, the election give their testimonies. When they hear, and being Sealed with The Seal Of GOD, they come out of confusion and finish building the end time Temple of The LORD, using GOD’S seven thousand (the stone with seven eyes) as the plummet stone to keep the line on TRUTH straight. In other words, the 7000 is the first voice, or regarding the first voice that is the stone with seven eyes, GOD'S seven thousand, the election bringing down king Nebuchadnezzar's image without hands. And the second voice where GOD says "Come out of her, MY people is Zerubbabel (the 144,000 of Revelation, chapter seven) or regarding Zerubbabel finishing The End Time Temple Of The LORD. Zerubbabel finishes that Temple by bringing GOD'S children out of Babylon the great, and this brings down the devil's system.
The end time Temple is made of wood.
Wood=trees=people. Again, this is what brings down Babylon the great. For more information on Zerubbabel and the end time Temple of The LORD, study the post: “The End Time Temple Of The LORD”. Keep in mind that this is what I see when I look at these Scriptures. The reader should decide for his or her self what these Scriptures mean. Even if “another voice” refers to the voice after the angel spoke, these things still hold true with the rest of Scripture, for when GOD Speaks during the hour of temptation, HE Speaks through HIS seven thousand, and Zerubbabel finishes the end time Temple as a result of hearing the seven thousand give their testimonies.
To see the multitude that wash their robes in the Blood of the LAMB after Zerubbabel is Sealed with the Seal of GOD in Revelation chapter seven, read the section of Scripture below Zerubabel’s Sealing in Revelation chapter seven. I believe this multitude is the end time Temple of The LORD.
The plagues are The Cup Of WRATH. It’s the Cup that JESUS asked FATHER if it could be passed in the garden of Gethsemane. JESUS did not want to pour that Cup out on the children. It is not possible to pass that cup. Every drop will be poured out upon the children.
]
Revelation 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
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.
Revelation 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
[
Note:
“Reward her even as she rewarded you”; how did she reward you? They Crucified HIM!
Remember the posts: “These Little Ones” parts one and two? What happened? GOD let out HIS Vineyard to husbandmen, and that Vineyard was Israel.
What did the husbandmen do? They tried to take GOD’S Vineyard. What did Israel do? Israel worshiped satan.
GOD divorced Israel. Now it’s time for GOD’S vengeance. But GOD will take Israel back. Watch or read the posts; it’s heart wrenching. You will see GOD’S feelings in the verses of that post.
Just as GOD’S election receive a double Blessing, those that are against GOD will receive a double portion of vengeance.

Revelation 18:8 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.
Revelation 18:9 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,
Revelation 18:10 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.
[
Note:
Even though the voice from Heaven will call HIS people out of her (Babylon), those who stay in Babylon will receive of her plagues. The famine of the end time is not for food, but for hearing the Word of GOD. The plagues include a strong deception. Our GOD is a consuming FIRE, but Babylon will be burned with the fake fire (the devil’s deception, the strong delusion). What day shall her plagues come? It’s The LORD’S Day. The hour of her judgment is the hour of temptation.
Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
Amos 8:12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
Amos 8:13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
2 Thessalonians 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2 Thessalonians 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
2 Peter 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Joel 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
Joel 2:2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
Joel 2:3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
Joel 2:4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
Joel 2:5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
Joel 2:6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
Joel 2:7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
Joel 2:8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
Joel 2:9 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
Joel 2:10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
Joel 2:11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Joel 2:29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
Joel 2:30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

Revelation 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
Revelation 18:12 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,
Revelation 18:13 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.
Revelation 18:14 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.
Revelation 18:15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
Revelation 18:16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
Revelation 18:17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
Revelation 18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
Revelation 18:19 And they cast dust on their heads, 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.
[
Note:
Remember in Revelation chapter seventeen? She is decked with all manners of stones and pearls, and scarlet and purple. She thinks she is royalty, but she is just a whore, doing all manner of abominations. In one hour her judgement comes; the hour of temptation. The merchants will not be able to sell their false doctrine. They will stand far off and weep, separated because judgment starts at the pulpit. And what good would all these delicacies be once we are in our spirit bodies as written in 1 Corinthians chapter fifteen? It is the things of GOD that matter. The things of Babylon the great are the things of Sodom and Egypt.
1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
Revelation 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Revelation 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
Note: Jerusalem, where the two witnesses are killed is the center of Babylon the great.

Revelation 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
Revelation 18:21 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.
[
Note:
Study the parable of the vineyard. It is in “These Little Ones”; watch it or read the article at "whattheBiblereallysays".
GOD would send HIS prophets early (early Light, meaning with TRUTH), and they would stone them and kill them.
What is this great millstone being cast into the sea (sea of people)? Is it possible that it is the stone with seven eyes? The stone cut out of the mountain without hands? The stone with seven eyes is GOD’S seven thousand that Zerubbabel (the 144,000) uses as a plummet stone to finish the end time Temple of The LORD.
It’s the stone that strikes king Nebuchadnezzar’s image on the toes, mixed with iron and miry clay, bringing down the one world system. It’s how GOD makes HIS enemies HIS footstool.
What is a millstone used for? It’s used for making bread. What Bread does this millstone make? The Bread Of Life. TRUTH! What is spoken by GOD’S seven thousand, the election? TRUTH! What is spoken by Zerubbabel (the 144,000)? TRUTH! What will destroy confusion (Babylon the great)? TRUTH!
]
Revelation 18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
Revelation 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Revelation 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
[
Note:
Who was it that JESUS said was responsible for the blood of the prophets? It was those Pharisees that were the tares of Revelation 2:9 and 3:9, and called out as being of their father, the devil in John 8:44.
And so, GOD takes back HIS Vineyard. The baal system that Lot’s wife looked back upon because she missed the lifestyle there is no more.
Two women with stork’s wings (indicating strength) will carry this woman (the harlot one world system) off in an ephah (basket) and take her to the place of non existence. She will be no more.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Luke 11:50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
Luke 11:51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
Zechariah 5:5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.
Zechariah 5:6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
Zechariah 5:7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
Zechariah 5:8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
Zechariah 5:9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
Zechariah 5:10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
Zechariah 5:11 And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
I cannot be sure, but I think these two women with stork’s wings are two churches. It’s not related to the uncleanness of a stork, but of the strength of stork’s wings. It’s just my opinion, but I think these two churches are Smyrna and Philadelphia.
By verse Mark 11:27, you can see who JESUS is speaking to:
Mark 11:27 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
Mark 11:28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
Mark 11:29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Mark 11:30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
Mark 11:31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
Mark 11:32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
Mark 11:33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
And by verse Mark 12:1 (which is immediately after verse Mark 11:33), you can see that JESUS is still speaking to the same people.
Mark 12:1 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
Mark 12:2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
Mark 12:3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
Mark 12:4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
Mark 12:5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
Mark 12:6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
Mark 12:7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
Mark 12:8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
Mark 12:9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
Mark 12:10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
Mark 12:11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Mark 12:12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
By the information in this note, you can see who it was that tried to take GOD’S Vineyard.
It’s those who say they are Jews and are not, but do lie, and are of the synagogue of satan. It’s the offspring of cain, whose father is the devil. And they, along with their father the devil and the fallen angels are the leaders of the one world beast of Revelation 13:1. The whore is GOD’S children chasing after and worshiping the beast and it’s leader, the devil.
This is Babylon the great, and they worship the devil in a disgusting way like a dog licking his master’s hand.
The following two churches are election. They both identify the tares.
Smyrna:
Revelation 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Revelation 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Philadelphia:
Revelation 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
Revelation 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
Revelation 3:13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
And here are the people (GOD’S children) that the beast system forms out of; this is who satan rules over. And yes, they worship him like a dog licking his master’s hand:
Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship G4352 him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
G4352
προσκυνέω
proskuneō
pros-koo-neh'-o
From G4314 and probably a derivative of G2965 (meaning to kiss, like a dog licking his master’s hand); to fawn or crouch to, that is, (literally or figuratively) prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore): - worship.
All, except the election, that is. And remember, GOD said: “Come out of her, MY people”, so that they do not partake of HIS WRATH. That means if GOD’S children repent while they are still in flesh, they are forgiven and make the first resurrection. The post: “The End Time Temple Of The LORD” shows how this will happen for those that do make it. I recommend watching the video at thelastgeneration website or reading the article at the whattheBiblereallysays website. It will greatly increase your knowledge of how these things come about.

This concludes chapter eighteen of the book of Revelation. In chapter nineteen we will cover: Rejoicing in Heaven, The Marriage Supper of the LAMB, and The Rider on a White Horse.
