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,

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.

11. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more;

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, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

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.

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,

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!

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,

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, 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.

20. Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

KEY VERSE: 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.

DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY

Babylon depicts rebellion at its peak and any system that opposes God and His righteousness. Right early, after the flood, this evil system, started to manifest when men decided against the will of God, to “make brick, and burn them thoroughly… and build [themselves] a city and a tower whose top may reach to heaven” (Genesis 11:3,4). It took the intervention of God to confound their language and put the evil plot to naught.

The lamentation over the destruction of Babylon in the text is three fold. First, the kings of the earth, then the merchants and the sea men also bemoaned their losses through the destruction of Babylon. But in verse 20, heaven rejoiced for the just judgment of God over her.

In the local parlance, it is said that “every day is for the thief, but one day is for the owner of the house”. Evil will not last forever. Satan who came to the Garden of Eden to pollute man and the earth will surely be judged together with all those who have aligned themselves with him and all his lawlessness.

There is no part of this planet that the evil influences of Satan will not be found – among the enlightened and the primitive people. Even in the churches, the influences of satanic works are still manifest in worldliness, suspicions, gossips, tribalism and even outright persecution among brethren! All persons who continue to live their lives without repentance and in disobedience to the word of God, like Babylon will receive His judgment.

The only way to escape the imminent judgment on all those who kick against God in rebellion like Babylon of old, is to come and bow before the Lord in total repentance and absolute surrender. Christ remains the Cornerstone and the only Hope of escape from God’s judgment. Embrace Him today and be at peace with God.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: No matter how long it may seem to take, evil will surely fall.
