It is day 364.

We are reading Revelation 2 John chapter 18, 19, and 20, the letter to the Hebrews chapters 9 and 10, as well as Proverbs chapter 31 verses 26 through 29.

The Revelation to John chapter 18, the fall of Babylon.

After this, I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority.

And the earth was made bright with his splendor.

And he called out with a mighty voice, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great.

It has become a dwelling place of demons, a haunt of every foul spirit, a haunt of every foul and hateful bird.

for all nations have drunk the wine of her impure passion.

And the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich with the wealth of her wantonness.

Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues.

For her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

Render to her as she herself has rendered, and repay her double for her deeds.

Mix a double draught for her in the cup she mixed, as she glorified herself and played the wanton.

So give her a like measure of torment and mourning, since in her heart she says, A queen I sit, I am no widow, mourning I shall never see.

So shall her plagues come in a single day, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she shall be burned with fire.

For mighty is the Lord God who judges her.

And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and were wanton with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning.

They will stand far off in fear of her torment and say, Alas, alas, you great city, you mighty city Babylon.

In one hour has your judgment come.
