Verse 20 the Apostle John inspired by the Holy Spirit

writing that which he is commanded to write, which he sees witnesses, begins in verse 20 by writing,

rejoice over her. Who's her, Babylon? You Evans, rejoice you people of God. Rejoice apostles and prophets.

For God has judged her with the judgment she imposed on you. Then, verse 21, a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into

the sea and said, with such violence, the great city of Babylon will be

thrown down and get used to this phrase, never to be found again.

Verse 22.

The music of the harpists and musicians,

pipers and trumpeters will never be heard in you again.

No worker of any trade will ever be found in you again. No worker of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone

will never be heard in you again. The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The

voice of the bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again.

Your merchants. Some refer to them as the elite, the technocrats. Some say globalists. We're the world's important people.
