My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 18:8

My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 18:8

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

Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her” Rev. 18:8

her plagues come... These could include those (of 16:1ff), but must be the special destruction of the city as well, described as “plagues and mourning and famine”.

in one day... (see verses 10, 17, 19). The special judgments on Babylon take place in a brief period of time. (Daniel 5:30), records that Babylon of old fell in one day.
(Isaiah 47:9). “But these two [things] shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, [and] for the great abundance of thine enchantments”.
This is saying that Babylon's destruction will not be progressive. The wicked city (system), will be instantly destroyed. (Dan 5:25-28, 30), records a similar fate that befell ancient Babylon; the city fell the very night that God wrote its doom on the wall of the king's palace.

Babylon's doom is certain and cannot be avoided. No one can change God's plans or keep Him from accomplishing what He purposed to do as Nebuchadnezzar discovered above in Daniel. Or in this case his grandson Belshazzar (Dan. 5:13-30).

Four plagues upon Babylon:

1. Death

2. Mourning

3. Famine

4. Utterly burned with fire

who judgeth her... The suddenness and completeness of the destruction of Babylon are emphasized by this prophecy, proving that the judgment is yet future (Rev. 18:8, 18:10, 18:17, 18:19-21; Isa. 13:20; Jer. 50:13, 50:13, 50:39-40; 51:29-43).

Death, mourning, and famine, also fire, will come on the city in one day (Rev. 18:8).

Lamentation over the Destruction of Literal Babylon

The lamentation over the destruction of Babylon is to be done by three earthly worlds, showing the greatness and universality of her commerce, influence, and her luxurious centralization, Rev. 18: 9-19.
