Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

There are three groups of men in the book of Revelation 18:19-20 who can be dragged by the sin of Babylon up to perdition as follows:

  1. The kings, namely those who have position in the world such as the king, president, employee, et cetera, but they do not have the one in heaven, namely they do not become the priests and kings.
    Revelation 18:9-10
    18:9. "The kingsof the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,
    18:10. "standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.'


  2. [Revelation 18:11-16] The merchants.
    Revelation 18:11,16
    18:11. "And the merchantsof the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore:
    18:16. "and saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!


    Those are the people who just trade physically but not spiritually. It means that they are not active in the ministry of the body of Christ, so they will surely enter the building of Babylon.

  3. The shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea.
    Revelation 18:17-19
    18:17. 'For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.' Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance
    18:18. "and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What is like this great city?'
    18:19. "They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.'


    Men who trade on the sea often forget God or they actively minister to God but for the worldly thing only.

These groups of men will surely be dragged by the sin of Babylon, namely evil, uncleanness, and bitterness. They inherit the characteristics of Babylon, so they are destroyed with her in one hour.

Revelation 18:20
18:20. "Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!"

We must worship God for one hour, including the fasting prayer, all night-long prayer to become the heavenly men or the spiritual ones like Jesus as follows:

  1. The prayer is the process of tearing the flesh with all of its lust, so we can receive the will of God in our life whatever risk may come.
    Mark 14:36-38
    14:36. And He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will."
    14:37. Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?
    14:38. "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."


    We obey God or the true teaching Word whatever risk may come.

    1 Peter 1:22
    1:22. Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,

    If we become obedient, we will be purified to live in holiness, and we can love one another. As a result, we experience the heavenly bliss even though in the midst of sufferings.

  2. God equips the holy man with the ministry and Holy Spirit's gift.
    Ephesians 4:11-12
    4:11. And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
    4:12. for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,


    1 Peter 2:9-10
    2:19. For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully.
    2:20. For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God.


    The Gentiles must worship God a lot, so we receive His mercy that appoints us to become the priests and kings. It is the heavenly position, so we are used in the revival of the building of the body of Christ or the one of Holy Spirit in the last rain.

    Acts 20:24,26-27
    20:24. "But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
    20:26. "Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.
    20:27. "For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.


    Do not shun! We must minister to God faithfully until the finish line.

  3. We must worship God a lot, so we experience the renewal of life from the fleshly men to the spiritual ones like Jesus.
    Luke 22:41-44
    22:41. And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and prayed,
    22:42. saying, "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done."
    22:43. Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him.
    22:44. And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.


    The hard stone, namely the hard heart is changed into the gentle one. It means being strong and of good courage. We are anointed by Holy Spirit. We do not get disappointed and desperate as well as leave God but we keep trusting and hoping God.

    Ephesians 3:16
    3:16. that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

    As a result, Holy Spirit will work in our life

    The results are as follows:

    • Romans 8:11
      8:11. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

      Holy Spirit is able to protect and take care of our life in the midst of the crises of the world.
      Holy Spirit gives life to us. It means that He finishes all of impossible problems.

    • John 7:37-39
      7:37. On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
      7:38. "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."
      7:39. But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.


      Holy Spirit gives us satisfaction in the midst of the wilderness of the world, so we do not look for the worldly satisfaction. We do not fall into the sin of Babylon.

    • Romans 15:16
      15:16. that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

      Holy Spirit purifies the Gentiles who are decay to produce fragrance. We are used to become the witness of Jesus. We are changed up to perfection like God.

God blesses us.
