8/2/2026
This podcast explains provides an explanatory overview of the symbols used by John to describe the physical fall of Modern Babylon in Rev 18:9-19 and the three groups of people who will mourn the sudden fall and burning of Babylon in one day and one hour. The three groups or classes of mourners include the kings of the earth, who represent the leaders empowered by the Great Whore of false religion in the modern nations, the merchants who benefit from the manufacture and sale of Babylon’s worldly goods, and the mariners or seamen who benefit from shipping of Babylon’s goods worldwide.
This podcast also provides an in depth explanation of Revelation 18:9-10, which states: “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, 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.”
