[§297] Rev 18:6-7: Modern Babylon Rewarded Double for Her Works

This podcast explains the imagery and symbolism used by John in revelation 18:6-8, which describe the Lord’s judgment on Modern Babylon at the time of the Second Coming. These verses say: “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. 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. 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.”   The double judgment is an idiom that expresses a complete judgment that is equal to a punishment that fits the crime. This judgment comes because Modern Babylon arrogantly and pridefully glorifies herself in luxurious living conditions. She claims to sit as a queen that is above and beyond judgment or punishment. She also claims that because she is no widow, she shall see no sorrow. Her logic is completely circular. She is the great whore who has no husband and whose sorrow is therefore eternal.   The plagues of Babylon will come in one day as a literal judgment, similar to the fall of ancient Babylon to the Persian armies of Cyrus in a single day. This one-day judgment shall bring about four conditions that include death and morning, as well as a famine that is both physical and spiritual. The fourth condition is fire that will burn Modern Babylon completely. God will bring about these four conditions, for the power of God is far superior to the power of Babylon. -------------------------- Chapters 00:00 Welcome to Unveiling Jesus Christ 00:30 Introduction to Revelation 18:6-8 01:42 Modern Babylon is Rewarded a Double Judgment (Rev 18:6)            12:57 Babylon is Rewarded Double Unto Her Double   17:16 The Spiritual and Physical Judgment of Babylon 24:28 Babylon is Judged for Pride and Luxurious Living (Rev 18:7)  29:43 Babylon Claims She is No Widow 35:59 Babylon’s Plagues Come in One Day (Rev 18:8) 39:19 The Four Conditions Reflecting Babylon’s Fall -------------------------- 🔗 Where to Find More from Unveiling Jesus Christ ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UnveilingJesusChrist ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unveilingjesuschrist/ ► Website: https://www.unveilingjesuschrist.com/
