Description

The 10 kings were the first to mourn the destruction of Babylon and then came the traders whose goods nobody would buy. Picking up from Verse 14 of Chapter 18 of the Book of Revelation, Irish Scripture Scholar Frances Hogan continues to explain the sudden collapse of the antichrist’s empire. 

Every luxury and every system of the antichrist is wiped out within the hour. The third group to mourn the destruction of Babylon are the sea-faring men - another group that made fortunes from the system. We see a power collapse with the kings and an economic collapse in all other aspects. While one side laments, another rejoices; we see God’s people rejoicing and celebrating the fruition of God’s judgment. The Lord will destroy the destroyer of the earth and the church will live in absolute union with God.
