Revelation: The Terrible and the Good - Pt 11
Revelation: The Terrible and the Good - Pt 11
By Stephen Bennett
(Rev: Chapter 18) March 3 / 2022
Adriquel the Affable
Today… I John, received some inside information from Angel Adriquel about all the things that fell out of the sky when the 7th bowl of judgement was poured out into the air (Rev 16:17). After flying a couple of times with my new found bodyguard, I had been curious about what they were. He looked at me with his wings outstretched, saying, “I hope you get this.” Then he warmly explained.
“Beloved John… about 2000 years into the future, man’s inventions spread beyond the earth to the stars. In the sky, will be air-planes you saw, they have wings and people travel in them above the world. There are silver and gold round shaped satellites with mirrors, that communicate to earth and beyond, and huge space stations like giant wheels, suspended in space above the earth. People fly there, to live a while and study the stars in the heavens.” I must have looked like a wide-eyed child. Today… I am completely flabbergasted at what happens in 2000 year time! Adriquel just laughed at me, flapping his wings.
Now… I say today, as I feel like it’s another day here, and as I’ve said, I may have only been in heaven a very short while, perhaps minutes in the transcendence of time. I don’t know how long my writing assignment has taken, or how much longer I’ll be here, or even where I’ll be after it is over, but every day this journey gets more and more astonishing. I’m old, but I feel like Abraham and Sarah must have felt; a renewed sense of energy and youthful curiosity, ready for new things (Genesis 21:1-7).
Adriquel also said this amazing thing. “In 2000 years, they will also have warfare that is conducted from space into the heavens and earth, called star-force; flinging missile fire balls at great speed to earth like lightning bolts, to destroy enemies and win wars and disputes between nations. The Lord had that in mind, when He considered the 7th bowl to be poured into the air; because the time of His wrath is where everything becomes His domain to reign. The only war that will be coming from the heavens is when King Jesus returns to earth. The space in the air is completely His domain; at the end, mankind, aliens, devils, or satan the old prince of the air, cannot use the airspace ever again, as it’s only the Lord’s for ever more.”
I John, understood that everything I saw fall to earth, was the Lord’s judgement to literally… clear the air, and make way just for Him and all of heaven to return to earth. Marvellous… thanks Adriquel!
I must say at this point, every angel I have observed or heard in the heavenly realm are huge, intimidating, with deep intensely loud resonating voices, low in tone, or high pitched eagle screechy, depending on the moment. Adriquel is always great conversation, and helped clarify, or wisely enlighten me with many of my questions.
Then, ‘after these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority and the earth was illuminated with his glory. And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a habitation of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird” (Rev 18:1-2).
Planet Prison
The angels proclamation is so loud, yet, likened to a deep sigh at the end of an era. Its God given authority is global, to such a degree, it lit up the entire earth, commanding all to “Listen!” I saw it was true now, the great whore had fallen from the beast as I wished, maybe died in her own vomit after all that drinking! But no-one mourned her demise or missed her influence at the end. Her legacy left, is the world becoming like one big religious and economic prison; full of her foul frog demons and evil fallen angel spirits, in an unclean world where most people lived bound in the cages of their life, oppressed by some form of darkness.
The destroyed Babylon, now abandoned to all demonic forces, is God’s judgment against the people’s wickedness. Babylon in her political character had evil relationships with every nation, described as fornication. The nations, kings and merchants had also become drunkards like the whore; in their own versions of religiosity, success, and obscene wealth, via an abundance of the deceiving luxuries they’d created. In doing so, they distracted the majority of the world’s populations to chase after all the wrong things in life, blinding them to God (Rev 18:3).
Final Warning - Get Out of the Jail
The decree continued; but it was ‘another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people. lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.” (Rev 18:4-5). God’s voice commanded firmly, that all must leave the deceptions of religion and the world, not to tolerate or live in it anymore, or her sins and plagues will become yours (as with bowl 7, Rev 16:19). It means that some of God’s people are in the great harlots deceptive religion and they must walk away from it!
Jesus is coming back, ‘that He might present her (the Church) to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.’ (Eph 5:27). I John, also remembered our prophet Jeremiah who 700 years previously had made the same call to Israel, to “flee from the midst of Babylon and every one save his life!” (Jer 51:6, 50:8). If you are in any deception; get out, time is short!
Lot was also told to leave ancient Sodom (Gen 19:15-22), to no longer be living around Babylonian lustful sins or it’s plagues. The end call now, is the final one for the world. The extreme evils of the world of Babylon reaches the heavens again in the end days; over time the evils are all compounded, glued together and piled up, like the bricks of the tower of Babel where it all started (Gen 11:5-9). God then remembers her iniquities as in the days of old (Jer 51:9), and then His final judgement time arrives.
The final warning is decreed, “Come out of her my people.” It is also an invitation to come into something else; God’s future thoughts, that He also promises through Jeremiah for Israel. ‘Thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a future and a hope’ for those who believe (Jer 29:11).
Burned Forever
So… God has judged the great abomination whore spirit of the world; enough is enough! Her torment and sorrow is to be paid back double for all her pride, deception, and making herself ‘Queen of the planet.’ There is no mercy in this payback for the apostasy history of Babylon; it’s a final, sudden, double-hit-of-torment against all that she has done. And the time is upon us when her plagues will all manifest in just one-day, causing great death, mourning and famine, to those who could not let go of her delusions and enticements.
Her ultimate end is now here, and ‘she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her’ (Rev 18:6-8). Like Babylon City’s fall in Daniels day (Dan 5:24-10), God’s finger wrote the message, and finished that kingdom in one evening.
God in heaven now makes the end-time decree, and the nations mourn like no other time in history. The riches of the world, technology and the modern complexities of life, utterly control the peoples of nations. Letting it all go is not an easy task, causing great anxiety and grief on every human who resists. The spirit of Babylon’s fall is sudden; human greatness, strength and power, is now judged and powerless. It leaves a world in deep mourning; a grief beyond whatever they could have imagined.
In just one hour the burning of Babylon is everywhere, the stench of her spiritual stains of delusion now fully exposed in all the nations, obvious to many. They cry the deepest tears of lament, with hopeless wailing, as all their security in economy and the ownership of things is consumed and worthless. Rich rulers, leaders, business people, influencers, celebrities, people who think they’re somebody, are now no-body’s; who just stand, and watch in fear with great torment, as everything burns (Rev 18:9-10).
End of Merch
‘And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more:’ (Rev 18:11). It’s the final end of all trade, shops and centres; the global death of Merch… gone! All the stuff we buy sell and desired, that ran our lives.
The gold, silver, precious stones and metals, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet, all precious wood, objects of ivory, bronze, iron and marble. Fine herbs, wine, oils, foods, flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, cars, human slaves and trafficking, “and all the fruit that you longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all” (Rev 18:12-14). Every bucket list of desire, and vision is finalised down to nothing in one hour. So much for the five year plans!
Every entrepreneur, businessman, trader, and merchant of all goods and services, stands on earth in shivering tormented fear, not knowing what to do, but weep and wail, crying out, ‘that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold, and precious stones and pearls! For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.’ (Rev 18:15-17).
Many jumped from high towers, bridges and into ravines, as the caged foul spirits of suicide rampaged. The choking deceitfulness of riches became glaringly apparent (Matt 13:22, Mark 4:19), and left just an empty hope in all those who denied God; all they could see in the future, was a fat nothing. The news spread everywhere; the breakdown of all Babylon continued its sudden implosion, both in the spiritual and the economy.
Where’s Your Treasure?
The news is on all outlets; that the supply chains of all global merch are shut down, ‘and every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea,’ came to a halt and just watch as Babylon burned. Those who had supplies of bagged dust, threw it on their heads and just cried out like babies (Rev 18:17-19). “Ouai ouai… we’re in a big heap of trouble!” Quivering lips, weepy eyes; great men no more! They’d become filthy rich through her trade, but now ‘in one hour she is made desolate.’ It wasn’t repentant sad, but woe-is-me sad; as they’d lost their economy of riches, and the feeling was just… emptiness.
I John, thought of the words of Jesus, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matt. 6:19-21).
The merchants hearts were not in heaven but woven into the burning black smoke of dead products swirling around the earth. Their character, flimsy weak; all they could do is cry like children losing their toys. Momma…!

Return to the Lord
The heavenly voice cried out, “Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!” (Rev 18:20). Right in that moment I John, a disciple of our Lord, felt the emotions, prayers and cries of every man, woman and child of God over the centuries of history; ones who’d suffered at the hands of the merchandisers of false religion, and the continual world systems of trading empires that had crushed their lives.
Their cry for judgment had been avenged by the Lord. But, I could now hear them singing many songs in languages I’d never heard. The spirit world is stirred and new song is beginning. Ancient Babylon will no longer control the world religiously, politically, or economically… ever again!
Then in this theatre of heaven I saw a great muscular angel that looked like a giant hulk of a being with wings. He picked up a huge round stone, and in a type of symbolic ritual, he threw it sideways into a vast ocean, like a skipping stone discus. The stone’s eventual splash seems higher than a mountain, and its rapid descent into the sea’s depths, decrees the finality of Babylon forever.
The angel declared, “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore’ (Rev 18:21). It is the end; people may search, look and pine for the old life, but like the flight of that sinking stone in the ocean blue, it will never be found. It’s now a last chance hurrah; you must return to the Lord!
(Now click this link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCWu3AiQTBM for the song Scotland Rise by Stephen Bennett, blog author).
The incredible sight of hulk angel, echoed again Prophet Jeremiah’s words. “Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that would come upon Babylon… and Jeremiah said to Seraiah… when you have finished reading this book you shall tie a stone to it, and throw it out into the river Euphrates… you shall say, “Babylon shall sink and not rise from the catastrophe that I will bring upon her. And they shall be weary…”’ (Jer 51:60-64). In the end of days, the words of Babylon prophecy, are completed in its final entirety.
No Sound No Craft No Voice
The Lord then showed me a specific thing that is dear to Him. Music, arts and the creativity crafts of all mankind on earth. All of those industries sadly disappeared, and their voice is not heard again. The recording studios, live venues, millions of music bands and artists of all genres were shut down forever, living in a world of silence. “The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. And no craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore. And the sound of the millstone shall not be heard in you anymore.” (Rev 18:22).
The familiar things in all the art industries on earth, ended; just like that. I wondered why, and all I could think of is, that God was going to replace it all with His sounds and creativity from heaven, but when… I didn’t know. All God’s musicians better be ready; there’s a new sound coming!
And the angel declared again “the light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore. And the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and all who were slain on the earth.” (Rev 18:23-24).
The end-time ominous silence, devoid of light and the joyous voices of the sounds of the Holy Spirit and the Church are gone. The intimacy of new fresh love, of people who are free, doesn’t exist. The delusions of the ways of the world had brought all its voices to nothing. The original Babylon (Gen 11:1-9) had sought to bring people together as one, to reach God with a unifying language, worshiping all together. In the end-times, it is the antichrist worship and a false one-world church, that never really works. The Babylon revived Roman end-time empire of world economy and trade, seeks global domination, and is then destroyed to be no more.
Sorcery Sucks
I remind you, that in heaven’s theatre, where I am, and it does feel like forever… I see the great men of earth, used by satan and his sorcery, who have unwittingly brought into this apocalypse. The elite, and great influential men of the earth, who make trillion dollar fortunes from all manner of business and trade, like war, oil, ships, stocks, real-estate, food, computer and phone companies, airlines, minerals of earth, money, drugs and medicines and a million other things, these global traders deceived the nations through that sorcery!
In the global journey of Babylonic history is the killing of the slain, the prophets, believers and saints. Their blood is shed; drained into the great cup of the whore, so the flexing muscles of demon Babylon, can push its way forward in the agendas of the great deception. Whatever time in history you are living in reading this, be it 122, 522, 922, 1222, 1522, 1822, 1922 or 2022, I remind you again; this sorcery is always at work right until the end of Babylon; that which you have just read and witnessed with me. There’ll also come a future day where the current global narrative of deceiving and forced oppressive compliance gains momentum, centred around human health and its control!
Let us recap: sorcery in the original Greek, is the word pharmakeia. It mean’s magic, sorcery, witchcraft, enchantment, drugs or medication, often found in connection with some form of idolatry (see Galatians 5:20, Exodus 7:11,22, Exodus 8:18, Isaiah 47:9, and Rev 18:23). The biblical meaning of sorcery, is the use of power gained from the assistance or control of evil spirits, especially for divining: necromancy.
Pharma World
It is rooted in pharmakeia where the word pharmacy comes from, directly from the future medieval Latin pharmacia, from the Greek pharmakeia. NOTE: It is, “a healing or harmful medicine, a healing or poisonous herb; a drug, poisonous or magic potion; a dye, raw material for physical or chemical processing…” especially in humans. The demonic spiritual sorcery is conducive to alignment with drugs or human altering medical substance. It affects the God created human body, for it can open people to the spirit world, becoming infected and deceived in thought and deed.
The end-time deceptions of sorcery, the pharmakeia we have seen thus far in this revelation theatre vision, will eventually propel the human race toward the terrible consequences of rapidly losing their rights and freedoms: to ultimately be forced to take the Mark of the Beast (where you can’t buy or sell without it (Rev 13:16-17).
The economic journey to facilitate this, is through the complete world control of the nations through a demonic one world government. Again, primarily through evil spirits at work, especially in the pharma world. I John, say to you, that it will not be a shock to those in the future that experience this; remember it is foretold in the scriptures and this revelation vision…
The great men of the earth, with inventive minds to create a new utopia for mankind, are blinded by the whore and given to their delusions of grandeur as gods of the earth, ruled finally by the antichrist. They deceive the nations through demonic sorcery, spells and medicine; the necromancy that dulls the minds of humanity to be deceived and delusional. Now as I have witnessed, and you have read; this all ends! God has His own reset for mankind; praise the Lord!
I just realised you may wonder about all this knowledge? Sometimes, up here, angels like Adriquel tell me, but usually… as I literally see God’s words, and I am inside them, understanding arrives and I write. It feels like I’m re-writing His script, with eyes wide open, planting for the future end of days; its all heady… but hey… I’m just a fisherman, what do I know!
New Sound Coming
Listen…! I now begin to hear great and mighty sounds in heaven, unheard of before; there is a lightness in the air, the smell of millions of horses are stirring. The heavy judgements clear the airways for glorious revelatory culminations in my writing; it is the massive ‘Alleluia!’ sounds of heaven’s world. God’s great reset begins with the sounds of heaven!
I hear the keys of David rattling loud, for the new music sound, song and words of declaration to come forth (Rev 3:7-8, Isaiah 22:22). God our Father Maker is setting the stage for the war-ship worship of the second coming of His Son Jesus Christ King of kings, and the establishment of His glorious kingdom. Get ready for heaven’s planned universe reset!

‘In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit (because his disciples names are written in heaven in the Book of Life) and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes (the disciples). Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see; for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it.”” (Luke 10:21-24).
Jesus will return to reset everything, make sure you know Him!
Jesus said,“… do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet.’ Mark 13:7. “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.” John 14:1.
“But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers” 1 Peter 4:7.
‘He (Jesus) who testifies to these things says,“Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”’ Rev 22:20.
‘And He (Jesus) said to them, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” Mark 4:9. “Blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” (Luke 11:28).

PRAYER OF FAITH: The Call to give your life to Jesus Christ.
No matter where you are in your Christian walk, Jesus is with you; in your triumphs and trials, to the end! If you have never known God; know this;
“Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world (ages)” Amen’ Matthew 28:20. ’But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come’ Matthew 24:13-14.
Pray this prayer from your heart and your spirit will come alive to God, for with him there is hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
“My Father in heaven, I give you my life, I repent of all my sin, recreate me brand new. I give you my heart. Fill me Lord Jesus Christ with Your Holy Spirit. I believe You died for me on the cross, and by Your shed blood, you washed away my sins once and for all. Raise me from my deadness of my life to live a new life, just like you Jesus, when you were raised from the dead; I believe you did that. Make my spirit reborn, and let me come alive too filled with Your Holy Spirit.”
“I believe I belong to you Lord. Help me to know you well, teach me Your ways, that I become all that I am meant to be. Help me to love and find love. I thank you Lord that you will always be with me.”
If you have genuinely prayed this prayer to Jesus Christ, in your seeking of God, or you’re coming back to Him, DM instagram or FB or email. Talk to other Christians you may know, and seek to find a Church where you can grow.
