Reward her even as she has rewarded you
6 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.
All of the countries around the world are thinking "it is time for payback". God is giving them the green light.
7 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.
When I was in high school I heard about "big American cars" and I didn't know what they were talking about. Then I spent a year in England and I knew immediately. They had these tiny three wheeled cars. After graduating college I went to Taiwan, and it was stunning, everyone rode a bicycle. There were so many bicycles that it was hard to find a spot on the sidewalk to put yours. I was in Taipei when the first McDonald's opened and then for the first time we began to see fat little Chinese kids.
8 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 entire world has been holding up the US, our standard of living is not due our labor but theirs. The US dollar is held up by billions of people on this earth. In one hour they will all throw it down onto a bonfire and burn it up. Imagine a person with a net worth of $1 million in the US. That is not a lot, perhaps their house is worth $400k and they have savings and a retirement account. That 600k in the bank seems like a comfortable buffer against anything that might happen. Now suppose in one hour the US dollar drops ten fold. 600k is only worth 60k. But that is only if you have it on hand, you can't get it out of the bank because all the banks are broke, and you can't get it from your brokerage account either. It takes 3 days to settle a trade in a brokerage account and since the banks are bankrupt how would you cash the check. Within days there is no gasoline because who can afford it, the trucks delivering everything stop running because who can afford that. The electricity will go out, the businesses shut down, and you will have rioting and looting in the streets.
9 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,
The whole world will see the images of the great cities in the US burning. Perhaps they are bombed by our enemies, perhaps it is from the looting and riots. NYC, LA, DC, Miami, Chicago, San Fran, they will all go up in flames.
10 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.
Think about that, most countries will see what is going on but will be afraid to come near to the US because of the fear of her torment. How horrible it will be in the US.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
Once again, the US is the biggest consumer nation on Earth. This cannot refer to the Vatican, it does not refer to China or Russia and it must be a superpower with global influence.
12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
The souls of men, this movie "The Sound of Freedom" was a critical requirement to precede this judgement, it is important to see that the sins are laid out for all to see before the judgment is given. Likewise with Epstein, just one more reason for the rest of the world to attack us before they also take part in the torments of the US.
14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
This is a picture of the great depression.
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
Everyone will be scrambling to say they had nothing to do with the sins of the US, nothing to do with Pfizer, or the Pandemic, or the vaccine, etc.
16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
Every shipmaster tells us the goods came to the US by boat. No country has as many ports as the US. The US has the biggest navy in the world which every shipmaster depends on. The only mechanism where great riches can come to naught in one hour is the stock market. Russia has been fighting with Ukraine for a year and their riches have not come to naught. However, the NYSE and the Nasdaq can both collapse in a single hour.
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
You see, the Great Babylon makes every merchant on earth rich and it is by sea trade. This has to refer to the US.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
We have been praying for years concerning the pandemic, the vaccine, the election fraud, the corruption, the arrogance, the pride, the lasciviousness, the fornications, the adulteries, the lies, and all the rest.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
This is what a stock market collapse looks like. Everyone tries to sell, no one buys. The price falls like a stone. What happens is there are "open orders" on the market. Suppose a stock is trading at $100 but when it was $50 you put in an order to buy it at $49, but it never hit that price and you never deleted your order. People put in sell at the market and all of a sudden all those open orders get filled before you have a chance to cancel them.
22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
Say goodbye to the US music industry, to the artists, and to various industries and manufacturers. Another picture of the Great Depression.
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Connect this word to the Lord's word that they will be marrying and giving in marriage right up until the flood hits. This event is not the end of the tribulation it is the start. Peter says that judgment must begin with the house of God, and that means at the end of the church age judgement must begin with the church. Some will be raptured and some will be judged with the apostate church.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
