Babylon has Fallen!

Babylon had Fallen, what's the meaning behind this statement at Revelation 18, and who was it referring to?

[Hawaiian Dreams]

Revelation 18 says that Babylon was a great city. The way it describes that city makes it far and away the greatest city on earth. Merchants will make their riches off her. Merchants who were the world's great men.

Only one city comes to my mind in our generation. But we don't know when the prophecy expressed in Revelation will happen.

Babylon, in the Book of Revelation 18 ,is referring to the Fall of ALL false religions. (verse 11 of 18 says “And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore”), what you're referring to here. Is speaking of the money, “merchants”, stores, manufactures, businesses ,etc. brings in from the MANY religious holidays. But also the MANY religious items used. In the sense of weeping, once false religions are done away with. There will NOT be anyone to buy their items.

How we know it's NOT referring to an actual city. Is the fact that a literal city can NOT commit fornication with humans. Though NOT speaking literally either). Yet Babylon, or false religion has done so with the “kings of the Earth.” there were ONLY “KINGS”, in the days of old, still some today. But it's basically referring to all Government officials. (verse 3*For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury”). MANY religions and their followers seem to align themselves, with governmental laws that goes against Jehovah God and Jesus. peace

Revelation is about the international happenings of mankind going through the awakening process

the Book of Revelation, in it's entirety, is referring to what's happening during the time of the END, which is now. and what will soon happen. but what "international happenings" and "awakenings" are you referring to? do you mind explaining?

Yes and no . Its mainly a allegory of the full transformation of the mind as well as the ending/ going into the 6th root race of man

This is a video I saw a day or 2 ago that I find interesting and perhaps you will enjoy it and get some good contemplation out of it like I did https://youtu.be/R1GS8PTB0oQ

not true, it has nothing to do with any story. it's based on what's happen now, has happen, and what will happen. for instance, in the Book of Revelation, it speaks of John writing letter to different Christian congregations of his day ,(Rev. 3:1,7,14). it had NOTHING to do with one's mind. and thanks concerning the video. but I'm sure it's what man had to say, and they lean on their OWN understanding, NOT Jehovah God or Jesus ,(Pro. 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding). the ONLY man I tend to believe is the Son of Jehovah God, so I'll have to pass. peace

I thought the video was interesting, Maya El! Thanks for posting it. It also supports the idea of oneness, that there is only God. There is nothing outside of God. All life resides in the spirit.
