Who is the following scripture referring to???

Revelation 18:10-24:

10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,

13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!

17 For in one hour 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,

18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;

23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Revelation 18:10 "Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come."
The final battles of this earth age will be quick and more than likely, take less than an hour. The battles will take place in two locations; The battle of Armageddon to be at Meddigo [the gathering place of the crowd in Jerusalem], and the battle of Hammon-Gog [see Ezekiel 38 and 39], which I believe will be in the Christian nations. It is only the wicked that God will consume in these battles. Many use II Peter 3 to show how "all the world will burn"; however, in the proper translation we read, it is "all the evil rudiments [elements]" that shall burn. Remember this is a spiritual struggle.
God's children who do not bow to Satan, or take his name, or number are not part of the evil rudiments of this earth, and will not burn. They are the pure bride of Christ.
Revelation 18:11 "And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:"
These merchant's products were the sweet, religious trinkets, and robes of Satan's world wide religious system. No man will ever buy or need any of Satan's religious order again, for Jesus Christ will be on the earth, and His kingdom will be without end.
Revelation 18:12 "The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,"
Notice that all these items go to make up the royalty of Satan's world wide religious order. They make up the fineries for the leaders, and priests, and for the offerings, and the many structures necessary to worship Satan, as he wishes to be worshipped. Satan's church, and entire religious system will be impressive to the ordinary man, but to God's elect it will be a cheap imitation of the real thing.
Revelation 18:13 "And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men."
Satan's sole mission is capturing the souls of men and women, boys and girls. Satan will offer you anything your heart desires to tie you to his system. If you are not sealed in your mind [forehead] that the first christ is Satan, you will sell your soul cheap to him in ignorance, for you will think he is Jesus Christ. Satan will own the world, for God will have given it to him, to use it to deceive all the peoples of the world. Satan will and can offer you anything, and he deliver it just to buy your soul. In fact the only price he requires payment in full, is your soul.
Revelation 18:14 "And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all."
Your fruits are what you reap from what you have planted, and the fruit then comes from the stems of your plantings. In the time of Satan's one world religious system, there will be no fruit yielded, and all ripe fruit will be harvested with a cycle [not picked], and piled to burn. Remember in the parable of the fig tree, that tree that Jesus cursed had no fruit, but only leaves. Ripe fruit must be harvested in season. Why?
All those who will make a stand against Satan and his religious system are already sealed. Those without the seal, which is the understanding of God's Word [the Bible] will have taken Satan's [the Antichrist's] "Mark of the Beast", his name and his number. Like we were told by Joel the prophet, the world will be like a wilderness, barren for the truth of God's word. There will not be a harvest, because the "seed lay in the barns [churches], and had not been planted". The pastures will become a wilderness, because there is no one in them feeding.
The only word that will be taught, or even spoken aloud in the days of the Antichrist's religious order, will be the words of the Antichrist's religion. It will be accepted as the truth, because it will sound like the truth, and backed up by Satan's [the Antichrist's] many miracles, wonders, and deceptions. The Christians who do not know God's Word, simply will not believe the true man of God in that day, and if that is you, they will think you to be insane. When the religious system of the Antichrist is in place, we can not plant seed anymore, thus we are told by Jesus to think not ahead of time what we will say, but to allow the Holy Spirit to speak through us [Mark 13:9-11].
Mark 13:9 "But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony against them."
Mark 13:10 "And the gospel must first be published among all nations."
Mark 13:11 "But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit."

The two people, which are the two witnesses, who do speak out will be given special powers by God to stand directly against Satan and the people of the world, and they will use those powers against Satan [the Antichrist], and his system. This is why they will be hated. When Satan rises up and kills these two witnesses, at the appointed time, the end of Satan's "city of Babylon [confusion]", it will fall.
Because Babylon [the Antichrist's world wide religious system] is fallen, all things that were part of it will never be again. Ever! In this one hour the entire system is shown for the filth it is, and destroyed.
Revelation 18:15 "The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,"
The things of this earth age of the flesh is all gone. The entire religious system, and all that belonged to it [it's evil rudiments] are destroyed in one hour. They risked their entire lives and business on a five months period [Revelation 9:5, 10], and lost it all in one hour.
In II Peter 3:10, "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements [evil rudiments in the Greek text] shall melt with fervent heat, the earth [age] also and the works [evil works] that are therein shall be burned up." Friend, God is the consuming fire that will do this, as we read in Hebrews 12:29.
Revelation 18:16 "And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!"
Revelation 18:17 "For in one hour so great riches is come to naught. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood a far off,"
Remember, the "sea" are the "peoples of the world", and these sailors and their ships are those who dealt in the merchandising in goods and souls in the Antichrist's religious system. The Kenites are the main suppliers, they will fill the wants of the religious system then, as they are doing today.
Revelation 18:18 "And cried when they saw the smoke of their burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!"
They mourned as the clouds of deception arose and cleared away, and the truth was revealed, and the reality of the end of their godless system came into sight. Their time of cheating, and being the thieving bunch of bandits that they have been sense the ancient days are over.
Revelation 18:19 "And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour she is made desolate."
Upon the day of the Lord, at the seventh trumpet, in that one hour all confusion, lies, and exactly who is behind them, will be revealed. The truth will not only be revealed, but all the evil rudiments that went to make it up will also be destroyed. And immediately, "in the wink of an eye," all souls will be changed from these flesh bodies into their spiritual bodies, and the Kingdom of Jesus Christ will begin. We will be in the new millennium age.
It will be a time of great rejoicing for the saints of God, and those of the bride of Christ. However, to all those who were taken in and deceived by Antichrist, and took his name, and number [the Mark of the beast]; it will be a time of great shame; of weeping and much sorrow. The tears are for the lost Satanic system that they sold themselves into.
Revelation 18:20 "Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles [saints] and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her."
On that day, the "day of the Lord", God will avenge all the wrong that was done in this earth age. Even to the death of the prophets of old, that were killed by the Jewish "Kenite" religious leaders. He will also avenge all those who wronged you. This is why Jesus asks you to wait until this day to settle all accounts. All wrongs will be made right.
In Romans 12:19 Jesus tells us through the apostle Paul, "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written Deuteronomy 32:35[/B]], [I]Vengence is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."
Revelation 18:21 "And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Bab'-y-lon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all."
It is at this time that Jerusalem will be totally destroyed, and all parts of that religious system gone forever. This will start a New city of Jerusalem; with a new temple, and Jesus Christ will rule His kingdom from there. Not one stone will be left standing of the old temple, upon each other, but all will be thrown down and swept clean. This will be the "New Jerusalem" of the Millennium age of Ezekiel 40-48, where we will serve Jesus Christ out of.
Do you see why you will not see Jesus Christ while you are still living in your flesh body? At the sounding of the seventh and last trump, every thing in and of this earth age will be done away with, and you will be in another dimension. Your body will be changed instantly into its eternal body, and this earth age of the flesh will be finished forever. Any person coming to you claiming to be Christ while you are in your flesh body, while grandma is in the nursing home, and the hospital is down there on the corner, is a fraud, a cheat and a liar. When Jesus Christ returns that "great city of Babylon" and all that is part of it is gone forever.
Revelation 18:22 "And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;"
There will be no musicians, no craftsman, or builders of any kind: no doctors or shop keepers in that Millennium kingdom for the things that are needed to fill the needs and desires of this flesh body are over. There will be no flesh bodies anywhere, anymore. We will see the wonderful conditions that shall exist in the twenty first and twenty second chapters.
Revelation 18:23 "And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived."
No part of that system will exist any more. This millstone is used to work over God's people, and it and those taking part in it will be gone; removed.
Revelation 18:24 "And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."
