Revelation 18:20

18 ^aand cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ^b‘What is like this great city?’

19 ^a“They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! ^bFor in one hour she is made desolate.’

20 ^a“Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you¹ holy apostles and prophets, for ^bGod has avenged you on her!”

Finality of Babylon’s Fall

21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, ^a“Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and ^bshall not be found anymore.

22 ^aThe sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore.

23 ^aThe light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, ^band the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For ^cyour merchants were the great men of the earth, ^dfor by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.

24 And ^ain her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who ^bwere slain on the earth.”
