Judgment of the Great Harlot

4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
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.

Revelation 18:4-10 (Spoke 22, Cycle 3)

The earthly history of the Bible culminates in the judgment and destruction of the "Great City" known as "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH" which is followed by the creation of the New Heavens and New Earth. This culmination is recorded in the final book, Revelation, which resides on Spoke 22 (Tav). This pattern is prefigured in the alphabetic passages of the third chapter of the Book of Lamentations which contains 66 verses divided into 22 triplets correpsonding to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The first three verses begin with Aleph, the next three with Bet, and so forth. This is one of the richest alphabetically structured passages. It has many links to the content of the books on the corresponding Spokes. Case in point: the alphabetic sequence culminates in the final triplet of Tav verses which correspond to the specific content of the Book of Revelation quoted above:

• TAV AV Lam 3:64 Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
• TAV AV Lam 3:65 Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
• TAV AV Lam 3:66 Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.

It is particularly significant that the specific content of these three verses follow the same sequence as the verses in Revelation. Here is a table to display the correlations:

We find this kind of thematic correlation between the Bible Wheel and the Alphabetic Verses throughout Scripture, as shown in the Table of Alphabetic Links and KeyLinks.
