My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 18:16

My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 18:16

Before Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to watch and pray, something so simple, but they let their physical bodies take over and they fell back asleep. In these last hours of time you need to hear His voice. When He tells you something, it is very important, but most ignore my voice or just discuss it and go on with what they were doing. You will see many things start to happen shortly and if you do not hear and obey His voice,... it will mean death for some of you....Jesus has only your best interest in mind. Christ knows you heart, and if you are truly His you will hear His voice. He awakes many of you at 3am on the dot, but most will roll over and go back to sleep. There are a few who will get up and pray. Your day is filled with so many things and Jesus is the last thing many of you give your time to. But Christ needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you and only when you are still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the rest of your day is so busy you do not have time for Him,... but you need to make time, for time is short and the Lord has instructions for you.

Revelation 18

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! Rev. 18:16

that great city... As in the lesson before this, we must realize this "Babylon" is a city in this chapter ruled by the antichrist, and also the apostate church destroyed in chapter 17 by the antichrist. These plagues jump back and forth from the city to the church, but we must remember that the harlot Babylon is destroyed by man and the city Babylon is destroyed by God.

in fine linen... has to do with the wealthy world. All of this describes the finery in this evil city. "purple, and scarlet" are Godly colors.
These items were common commodities in the ancient world and were the source of great immense financial gain. Those materialistic, unrepentant people mourn as God brings His judgment against Babylon, knowing these items will never be found again.

This obviously refers to an economic and political situation rather than a religious one. The mourning of the merchants is similar to that of the kings: Woe! Woe, O great city… ! (Rev. 18:16)

Thus the three earthly worlds will lament the destruction of literal Babylon and cry, “Alas, alas that great city,” realizing that her judgment is sudden and from heaven. They will all see her burning and weep and wail because her riches have come to naught in “one hour,” as in Rev. 18:10,17,19; Isa. 47:11; Jer. 50:26; 51:8
