My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 18:20

My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 18:20

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

Rejoicing over the Destruction of Literal Babylon



Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. Rev. 18:20


Rejoice over her... Three times heaven is told to rejoice:
1. When Satan is cast out (Rev. 12:12)
2. When literal Babylon is destroyed (Rev. 18:20)
3. When the marriage of the Lamb is come and His wife is ready (Rev. 19:7)
thou heaven, and... Angels are to share with apostles and prophets in rejoicing because God has taken vengeance on His enemies. The angel will exhort the tribulation martyrs (6:9-11), to rejoice, not over the deaths of those doomed to eternal hell, but, because God’s righteousness and justice will have prevailed.
God has taken vengeance on the ones who killed his prophets and apostles and even his blessed Son. Finally, all of those martyred by these have been avenged.
The long-awaited moment of vindication, retribution and vengeance for which the martyred tribulation believers had prayed for (in Rev. 6:9-10), and for which all the redeemed have hoped, that time has arrived.
These final verses picture from within the results of the collapse of the Babylonian system. The finality of its destruction is shown by the six fold repetition of the phrase "no more at all". The stone cast into the sea depicts the violence and permanence of the destruction. The Babylonian system began (in Genesis 10), and has continued uninterrupted in one form or another to the present day. But one day it will suddenly "sink," never to return.


As the world mourns the destruction of Babylon, the saints are told to rejoice because God has judged her for the way she treated you (Rev. 18:20).
Here we have the command for the heavenly world to rejoice over the destruction of Babylon. The literal reading of the verse makes more clear, “Rejoice over her, O heaven, and ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets; for God did judge your judgment upon her.” This means that the angels and redeemed mankind and all creatures in heaven will have passed or sanctioned this particular judgment of God upon Babylon and will rejoice because He has done it in His own justice.
