Revelation 18:3 Context
1And after these things, I saw another Angel come downe from heauen, hauing great power, and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2And he cryed mightily with a strōg voyce, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of deuils, and the hold of euery foule spirit, and a cage of euery vncleane and hatefull bird: 3For all nations haue drunke of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the Kings of the earth haue committed fornication with her, & the Merchants of the earth are waxed rich thorow the abundance of her delicacies. 4And I heard another voice from heauen, saying, Come out of her, my people, that yee be not partakers of her sinnes, and that yee receiue not of her plagues: 5For her sinnes haue reached vnto heauen, and God hath remembred her iniquities.
