Day 2 / Tuesday

Revelation 18:1-5 After these things I saw another Angel coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was illumined with His glory. 2 And He cried with a strong voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great! And she has become a dwelling place of demons and a hold of every unclean spirit and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird; 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the fury of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the power of her luxury. 4 And I heard another voice out of heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that you do not participate in her sins and that you do not receive her plagues; 5 For her sins have accumulated up to heaven, and God has remembered her unrighteousnesses.
