Revelation 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
As this chapter starts we see another angel with great power that shine light over all the earth. We need to understand that as chapter 18 starts that the religious Babylon or Mystery Babylon has been destroyed and we now have Babylon The Great or the government and business Babylon, and remember to that the effects of everything that is happening is world wide. We are at the point where people have taken the mark of the beast or been protected by God if they were not killed for their commitment to God. This angel cries Babylon the great has fallen and evil is running rampant. All the leaders and kings of the earth think they are above everybody because of their riches that they gained from the people of the earth that took the mark. There is no sin that is not running wild at this point. The kings and governments of this time are in total control because they were able to get the people to worship the beast. Do we not see today how easy it is for government to control so much?
