The indictment against Yahweh’s Wife and her Ultimate Redemption
 

REVELATION CHAPTER 18

 

 

 

1 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority NT:1849  exousia (ex-oo-see'-ah); of force and competency through delegated influence, and the earth was illuminated NT:5461 photizo (fo-tid'-zo); with rays of brilliant light with his glory NT:1391 doxa (dox'-ah); of honor, praise, and worship.

 

2 And he cried NT:2896 krazo (krad'-zo); out with a screaming exclamation mightily NT:2478 ischuros (is-khoo-ros'); from NT:2479; -forcibly, boisterously, and valiantly with a loud voice NT:5456 phone (fo-nay'); a public address, saying, “Babylon NT:897 Babulon (bab-oo-lone'); of Hebrew origin [OT:894]; tyrannical and full of bitterness of wormwood the great NT:3173 megas (meg'-as); fearful and strong is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons NT:1140 daimonion (dahee-mon'-ee-on); who are devil gods, a prison for every foul NT:169 akathartos (ak-ath'-ar-tos); impure demonic lewd acting spirit, and a cage NT:5438 phulake (foo-lak-ay'); from NT:5442; used for isolation as a guard for observation and for every unclean and hated NT:3404 miseo (mis-eh'-o); a persecuting bird NT:3732 orneon (or'-neh-on); neuter of a presumed derivative of NT:3733; that fly’s about!

 

3 For all the nations NT:1484 ethnos (eth'-nos); that are foreign pagan and non-Jewish have drunk of the wine NT:3631 oinos (oy'-nos); a primary word (or perhaps of Hebrew origin [OT:3196]); that is fermented for intoxication of the wrath NT:2372 thumos (thoo-mos'); from NT:2380; for the purpose of a sacrifice because of her fornication 4202 porneia (por-ni'-ah); from NT:4203; who acts as a harlot from adulteress idolatry from unlawful lust with, the kings NT:935 basileus (bas-il-yooce’); who are of lesser ruling royalty of the earth have committed fornication NT:4203 porneuo (porn-yoo'-o); of unlawful sex through idolatry with her, and the merchants NT:1713 emporos (em'-por-os); from NT:1722 and the base of NT:4198; who are wholesalers that travel throughout all of the earth have become rich through the abundance NT:1411 dunamis (doo'-nam-is); of its miraculous power of her luxury NT:4764 strenos (stray'-nos); through voluptuous strength."

 

4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share NT:4790 sugkoinoneo (soong-koy-no-neh'-o); as co-participants because of your fellowship in her sins NT:264 hamartano (ham-ar-tan'-o); that causes you to miss the mark and not share in the prize, and lest you receive of her plagues NT:4127 > plege (play-gay'); caused by calamity.

​

5 For her sins NT:3421mnemoneuo (mnay-mon-yoo'-o); with its assigned punishment have reached NT:2852> kollao (kol-lah'-o); as sticking glue-up to heaven, and Yahweh NT:2316 theos (theh'-os); the Supreme Divinity has remembered NT:3421 mnemoneuo (mnay-mon-yoo'-o); through the memory of these rehearsals of her iniquities NT:91 adikeo (ad-ee-keh'-o); from NT:94; which were unjust, actively, immoral socially, or in a physical way offensive.

 

6 Render NT:591 apodidomi (ap-od-eed'-o-mee); as a reward to her just as she rendered to you and repay her double according to her works; in the cup NT:4221 poterion (pot-ay'-ree-on); of fate that its contents are a drought which she has mixed NT:2767 kerannumi (ker-an'-noo-mee); for pouring a mingled drink and, mix double for her.

 

7 In the measure NT:3745 hosos (hos'-os); of greatness that she glorified NT:1392 doxazo (dox-ad'-zo); of esteeming and magnifying herself and lived luxuriously NT:4763 streniao (stray-nee-ah'-o); from a presumed derivative of NT:4764; in her strength, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart NT:2588 kardia (kar-dee'-ah); where the thoughts and feelings reside, 'I sit as queen NT:938 basilissa (bas-il'-is-sah); feminine from NT:936; to rule, and am no widow  NT:5503 chera (khay'-rah); as being deficient in lacking a husband, and will not see sorrow.'

 

8 Therefore her plagues will come in one day — death and mourning and famine NT:3042 limos (lee-mos'); in destitution. And she will be utterly burned NT:2618 katakaio (kat-ak-ah'-ee-o); from NT:2596 and NT:2545; completely to the ground with fire, for strong NT:2478 ischuros (is-khoo-ros'); from NT:2479; forcible, boisterous, and valiant is the Master NT:2962 kurios (koo'-ree-os); the supreme Yahweh NT:2316 theos (theh'-os); the Supreme Divinity who judges NT:2919 krino (kree'-no); with a judicial decision for the punishment of her.

 

9 "The kings of the earth who committed fornication NT:4203 porneuo (porn-yoo'-o); of unlawful sex through idolatry and lived luxuriously NT:4763 streniao (stray-nee-ah'-o); from a presumed derivative of NT:4764; in her strength with her will weep NT:2799 klaio (klah'-yo); with loud wailing and lament NT:2875 kopto (kop'-to); with beating their breast in grief for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,

 

10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas NT:3759 ouai (oo-ah'-ee); at last grief!, alas NT:3759 ouai (oo-ah'-ee); at last grief!, that great city NT:4172 polis (pol'-is); with walls of Babylon NT:897 Babulon (bab-oo-lone'); of Hebrew origin [OT:894]; tyrannical and full of bitterness of wormwood, that mighty city NT:2478 ischuros (is-khoo-ros'); from NT:2479; that has great force! For in one hour your judgment NT:2920 krisis (kree'-sis); of a tribunal of damnation through the Divine Law of Torah has come.'

 

11 "And the merchants NT:1713 emporos (em'-por-os); from NT:1722 and the base of NT:4198; who are wholesalers that travel throughout all of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise NT:1117 gomos (gom'-os); of cargo and wares anymore:

 

12 merchandise of gold NT:5557 chrusos (khroo-sos'); ornaments and coins and silver NT:693 argureos (ar-goo'-reh-os); from NT:696; that include currency, precious stones and pearls NT:3135 margarites (mar-gar-ee'-tace); from oysters, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood NT:2367 thuinos (thoo'-ee-nos); from a fragrant tree, every kind of object of ivory NT:1661 elephantinos (el-ef-an'-tee-nos); from the elephant, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble;

 

13 and cinnamon and incense NT:2368 thumiama (thoo-mee'-am-ah); for religious service, fragrant oil NT:3464 muron (moo'-ron); of myrrh and frankincense, wine and oil NT:1637 elaion (el'-ah-yon); of the olives, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls NT:5590 psuche (psoo-khay'); which is the mind and will of men.

 

14 The fruit that your soul longed for NT:1939 epithumia (ep-ee-thoo-mee'-ah); in lusted for what is forbidden has gone from you, and all the things which are rich NT:3045 liparos (lip-ar-os'); with sumptuousness and splendid have gone NT:622 > apollumi (ap-ol'-loo-mee); and been destroyed from you, and you shall find them no more at all.

 

15 The merchants NT:1713 emporos (em'-por-os); from NT:1722 and the base of NT:4198; who are wholesalers of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear NT:5401 phobos (fob'-os); and terror of her torment, weeping and wailing,

 

16 and saying, 'Alas NT:3759 ouai (oo-ah'-ee); at last grief!, alas NT:3759 ouai (oo-ah'-ee); at last grief!, that great city NT:4172 polis (pol'-is); with walls that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold NT:5553 chrusion (khroo-see'-on); plated ornaments and precious stones and pearls!

 

17 For in one hour such great riches came to nothing NT:2049 eremoo (er-ay-mo'-o); as to lay waste.' Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance NT:3113 makrothen (mak-roth'-en); adverb from NT:3117; a long way off

 

18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like this great NT:3173 megas (meg'-as); fearful and strong city NT:4172 polis (pol'-is); with walls?'

 

19 "They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, 'Alas NT:3759 ouai (oo-ah'-ee); at last grief!, alas NT:3759 ouai (oo-ah'-ee); at last grief!, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth NT:5094 timiotes (tim-ee-ot'-ace); of expensive costliness! For in one hour she is made desolate NT:2049 eremoo (er-ay-mo'-o); in laying waste.'

 

20 "Rejoice NT:2165 euphraino (yoo-frah'-ee-no); from NT:2095; well done be of a good frame of mind over her, O heaven, and you holy NT:40 hagios (hag'-ee-os); who that are sacred, and ceremonially consecrated apostles NT:652 apostolos (ap-os'-tol-os); that are ambassadors of the Gospel with miraculous powers and prophets NT:4396 prophetes (prof-ay'-tace); who are inspired foretellers, for Yahweh has avenged NT:2917 krima (kree'-mah); from NT:2919; by going to Law to judicially decide the punishment for you on her!"

 

21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw NT:906 ballo (bal'-lo); with violence it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence NT:3731 hormema (hor'-may-mah); with the suddenness of an attack the great city Babylon NT:897 Babulon (bab-oo-lone'); of Hebrew origin [OT:894]; tyrannical and full of bitterness of wormwood shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.

 

22 The sound of harpists NT:2790 kitharoidos (kith-ar-o'-dos); who is a lyre singer, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman NT:507 technites (tekh-nee'-tace); and artisan of any craft NT:5078 techne (tekh'-nay); of trade or artwork shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone NT:3458 mulos (moo'-los); that grinds in hardship shall not be heard in you anymore.

 

23 The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride NT:3565 numphe (noom-fay'); who is a betrothed girl shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants NT:1713 emporos (em'-por-os); from NT:1722 and the base of NT:4198; who are wholesaler traders were the great men NT:3175 megistanes (meg-is-tan'-es); were the grandest masters of the earth, for by your sorcery NT:5331 pharmakeia (far-mak-i'-ah); from NT:5332; pharmaceutical drugs of spell giving potions by witchcraft all the nations NT:1484 ethnos (eth'-nos); that are pagan and non-Jewish were deceived NT:4105 planao (plan-ah'-o); by roaming away from the safety of truth of Torah.

 

24 And in NT:1722 en (en); and because of her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain NT:4969 sphazo (sfad'-zo); as a butchered animal sacrifice slaughtered violently on the earth."
