The Cities of the Nations fall - Babylon comes in Remembrance before God

At the Seventh (and final) Plague a great earthquake (Re.16:17-18 below) divides the great CITY Babylon into three parts; the cities of the nations fall, and great Babylon comes into remembrance before God to give her the fierceness of His wrath (Re.16:19 below).

At the Sixth SEAL (an event occurring prior to PLAGUE events) there will be a great earthquake (Re.6:12), which will move every mountain (continent – Ps.104:6 below) and island out of their places (Re.6:14); an earthquake so catastrophic that it will cause the continents and islands to begin to drift.

At the Seventh PLAGUE (Re.16:17 below), the cities of the nations will fall (Re.16:19 below). Every island will be gone and every mountain (continent - Ps.104:6 below) will be no more (Re.16:20 below) as the continents collide (at the fall of Babylon - Jer.50:46 below), to come together as one landmass.

The ten horns will hate the whore (Babylon), and God will put in their hearts to fulfill his will; in one day Babylon will be utterly destroyed (Re.17:16-17, Re.18:8-9, Re.18:18 below).

The ten horns “kingship” will be brief; ONE HOUR (Re.17:12 below), just prior to the battle of Armageddon.


Re.16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

Re.16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, [and] so great.

Re.1619 And the great city (Babylon - Re.17:18, Re.18:10, Re.18:;16, Re.18:18 below, Re.11:8, Isa.1:21) was divided into three parts, and THE CITIES OF THE NATIONS FELL (Jer.50:46 below): and great Babylon CAME IN REMEMBRANCE before God (Re.18:5 below), TO GIVE unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

Re.16:20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found (Ps.104.6 below).

Re.16:21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, [every stone] about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Ps.104:6 Thou coveredst it (the earth) with the deep as [with] a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

Jer.50:46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations (Re.16:18-20 above).

Re.17:12 And the TEN HORNS which thou sawest are TEN KINGS, which have received no kingdom (Re.17:17 below) as yet; but receive power as kings ONE HOUR WITH the (scarlet coloured) beast.

Re.17:16 And the TEN HORNS (Re.17:12 above) which thou sawest upon the (scarlet coloured) beast, THESE SHALL HATE THE WHORE (Babylon - Re.17:1, Re.17:5), and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire (Re.18:8-9 below).

Re.17:17 For God hath put in their hearts (the ten horns) to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom (Re.17:12 above) unto the (scarlet coloured) beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

Re.17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great CITY (Babylon), which reigneth over the kings of the earth (Re.18:9 below).

Re.18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God HATH REMEMBERED her iniquities (Re.16:19 above).

Re.18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in ONE DAY (Jer.50:30 below), death, and mourning, and famine; and SHE SHALL BE UTTERLY BURNED WITH FIRE (Re.17:16 above): for strong is the Lord God who JUDGETH her (Jer.50:15).

Re.18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her (Re.18:3), shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning (Re.17:16, Re.18:8 above, Re.19:3),

Re.18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great CITY Babylon, that mighty city (Re.17:18 above)! for IN ONE HOUR (Re.18:17 below) IS THY JUDGMENT COME (Jer.50:15).

Re.18:16 And saying, Alas, alas, that GREAT CITY (Re.18:21, Re.11:8, Isa.1:21), that was clothed in FINE LINEN, AND PURPLE, AND SCARLET, AND DECKED WITH GOLD, AND PRECIOUS STONES, AND PEARLS (Re.17:4, Dan.11:38)!

Re.18:17 For in ONE HOUR (Re.18:10 above, Re.18:19 below) so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off.

Re.18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning (Re.17:16, Re.18:8-9 above), saying, What CITY is like unto this GREAT CITY (Re.18:16 above)!

Re.18:19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great CITY (Re.17:18, Re.18:18 above), wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in ONE HOUR is she made desolate (Re.18:10, Re.18:17 above).

Jer.50:30 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that DAY (Re.18:8 above), saith the Lord.
