Another Angel Says, Babylon The Great Fell, It Fell!
18 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority. And the earth was illuminated by his glory. 2 And he cried-out with a strong voice, saying “Babylon the great fell, it fell! And it became a dwelling-place of demons, and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean bird, and a prison of every unclean and hated wild-beast. 3 Because all the nations have drunk from[a] the wine of the passion[b] of her sexual-immorality, and the kings of the earth committed-sexual-immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth became-rich by the power of her luxury”.
A Voice Says, Come Out of Her, My People. Babylon’s Judgment Comes In One Day
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying “Come out of her, my people, so-that you will not participate in her sins, and so that you will not receive of her plagues, 5 because her sins reached as far as heaven, and God remembered her wrongs. 6 Render[c] to her as indeed she herself rendered, and double[d] the doubles in accordance with her works. Mix double for her in the cup in which she mixed. 7 To the degree she glorified herself and lived-luxuriously[e], to that degree give her torment and mourning. Because she says in her heart that ‘I sit as queen and I am not a widow, and I will never see mourning’, 8 for this reason her plagues will come in one day— death[f] and mourning and famine— and she will be burned-up with fire, because the Lord God, the One having judged her, is strong[g].
The Kings of The Earth Weep
9 “And the kings of the earth having committed-sexual-immorality with her and lived-luxuriously will weep and beat-their-breasts over her when they see the smoke of her burning, 10 while standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment, saying ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city— because your judgment came in one hour’.
The Merchants of The Earth Weep
11 “And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargo[h] anymore— 12 cargo of gold and of silver and of precious stone and of pearls, and of fine-linen and of purple and of silk and of scarlet, and everything made-of-citron wood, and every object made-of-ivory, and every object from very-precious wood and brass and iron and marble, 13 and cinnamon and spice and incense and perfume and frankincense, and wine and olive-oil and fine-flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and of horses and of carriages, and of bodies[i]— even[j] souls of people. 14 And[k] the fruit of [l] the desire of your soul departed from you; indeed all the rich things and shining things perished from you, and people will never find them anymore. 15 The merchants of these things, the ones having become-rich from her, will stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning, 16 saying ‘Woe, woe, the great city, the one having been clothed-with fine-linen and purple and scarlet, and having been gilded with gold, and with precious stone and pearl— 17 because so much wealth was desolated in one hour!’
All Who Work The Sea Weep
“And every helmsman[m] and everyone sailing to a place and sailors and all-who work the sea stood at a distance, 18 and were crying-out while seeing the smoke of her burning, saying ‘What city is like the great city?’ 19 And they threw dirt on their heads and were crying-out, weeping and mourning, saying ‘Woe, woe, the great city by which all the ones having ships at sea became-rich because-of her preciousness[n]— because she was desolated in one hour!’
Saints Celebrate
20 “Celebrate[o] over her, heaven and saints and apostles and prophets— because God judged your judgment[p] from her!”
A Strong Angel Says Babylon Will Never Be Seen Again
21 And one strong angel picked-up a stone like a large millstone and threw it into the sea, saying “In this manner, Babylon the great city will be thrown-down with violence and never found again. 22 And a sound of harpists and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters will never be heard in you again. And every craftsman of every craft will never be found in you again. And a sound of a mill will never be heard in you again. 23 And a light of a lamp will never shine in you again. And a sound of a bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Because your merchants were the princes of the earth. Because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery, 24 and in her the blood of prophets and saints was found, even of all the ones having been slain upon the earth”.
Jesus Prays: Father, Glorify Your Son
17 Jesus spoke these things, and having lifted-up His eyes to heaven, said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, so that the Son may glorify You— 2 just as You gave Him authority over all flesh in order that as to all that[a] You have given Him, He may give eternal life to them. 3 And this is eternal life: that they may be knowing You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ Whom You sent-forth. 4 I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given to Me that I should do. 5 And now Father, You glorify Me with Yourself with the glory which I was having with You before the world was.
I Have Revealed Your Name To The Men You Gave Me. Keep Them In Your Name
6 “I revealed Your name to the men whom You gave to Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me. And they have kept Your word. 7 They have now come-to-know that all[b] things that You have given to Me are from You— 8 because I have given them the words which You gave to Me, and they received them, and truly understood that I came forth from You, and believed that You sent Me forth. 9 I am praying[c] for them. I am not praying for the world, but for the ones whom You have given to Me— because they are Yours; 10 indeed all[d] My things are Yours, and Yours, Mine[e]. And I have been glorified in them. 11 And I am[f] no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep[g] them in[h] Your name which You have given to Me, in order that they may be one, just as We are. 12 When I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given to Me. And I guarded them, and none of them perished— except the son of [i] destruction, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to You. And I am speaking these things in the world so that they may have My joy made-full in themselves.
I Have Given Them Your Word. Set Them Apart In The Truth, Which Is Your Word
14 “I have given them Your word, and the world hated them— because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I am not praying that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the[j] evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world— 17 set them apart[k] in[l] the truth. Your word is truth. 18 Just as You sent Me forth into the world, I also sent them forth into the world. 19 And I am setting apart Myself for them, in order that they may also be set apart in truth.
May These And The Ones Believing Through Them All Be One
20 “And I am not praying for these ones only, but also for the ones believing in Me through their word, 21 that[m] they may all be[n] one[o]— just as You, Father, are in Me and I am in You, that[p] they also may be in Us— in order that the world may be believing that You sent Me forth. 22 And I have given them the glory[q] which You have given to Me in order that they may be one just as We are one, 23 I in them and You in Me; in order that they may be perfected into one— in order that the world may be knowing that You sent Me forth, and loved them just as You loved Me.
Father, I Want Them To Be With Me And See The Glory You Have Given Me
24 “Father, as to what[r] You have given to Me, I desire that those ones also may be with Me where I am, in order that they may be seeing My glory which You have given to Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
Father, I Made You Known To Them In Order That Your Love May Be In Them
25 “Righteous Father, indeed the world did not know You— but I knew You. And these ones knew that You sent Me forth. 26 And I made Your name known to them, and will make it known, in order that the love with which You loved Me may be in[s] them, and I may be in them”.
