Gen Z: Revelation 18
1After all that, I saw another angel vibe down from heaven, flexing mad power; the earth was lit up by his glory.
2He shouted super loud, "Babylon the great is down, down bad, and is now the crib for demons and all the sus spirits, a cage for every unclean and nasty bird."
3All the nations got lit off the wine of her bad vibes, and the kings of the earth got cozy with her, while the merchants got rich off her fancy snacks.
4I heard another voice from heaven say, "Yo, my people, bounce outta there so you don’t catch her bad juju or her plagues."
5Her sins hit the heavens, and God hasn’t forgotten her wrongs, no cap.
6Pay her back just like she did to you, double up on her for her shady deeds: fill her cup double what she served.
7She flexed hard and lived it up, so give her that same torment and sorrow; she thinks, "I’m a queen, no widow, and won’t see no pain."
8So, her plagues are coming in one day: death, mourning, and famine; she’s gonna be straight-up burned with fire: for the Lord God judging her is goated.
9The kings of the earth who got cozy with her will cry and mourn when they see her smoke rising.
10They’ll stand far off, shook by her torment, saying, "Dang, that great city Babylon, that strong city! In one hour, your judgment hit hard."
11The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn for her; nobody's buying their stuff anymore, fr.
12The goods of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, and all that fancy wood? Gone.
13And all the vibes like cinnamon, fragrances, oils, wine, and even the souls of men are outta here.
14The fruits you were all about are gone, and everything you thought was fire is lost; you won’t find them again, periodt.
15The merchants who got rich off her will stand far off, crying and wailing, feeling the vibes.
16They’ll say, "Dang, that great city, decked out in fine linen, purple, and gold, is done!"
17In one hour, all that wealth is wiped out. Every ship captain and crew stood far off, shook.
18They cried when they saw her smoke, saying, "What city compares to this great city?"
19They tossed dust on their heads, crying and wailing, saying, "Dang, that great city, where all the rich got rich from her vibes! In one hour, she’s done."
20Rejoice over her, heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets; God got your back on her.
21A strong angel picked up a stone like a huge millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "That great city Babylon is gonna be tossed down and never found again."
22The sound of musicians and craftspeople will be gone forever in you; no one will be found doing their craft anymore, and the millstone sound will be done.
23The light of a candle won't shine anymore in you; the bride and bridegroom's voices will be silent; your merchants were the big shots of the earth; through your sorcery, all nations got played.
24And in her was found the blood of prophets, saints, and all the slain on the earth.
