Revelation 18:21-24 covers the third and final part of "A Dirge for Babylon." We are still working with the idea that We must understand God’s judgment against Babylon!
In vv. 1-3 we saw that 1) We must understand the pronouncement of his judgment.
Then, in vv. 4-5 we learned that 2) We must understand the call to avoid his judgment.
In vv. 6-8 we saw that 3) We must understand the definition of his judgment.
In vv. 9-19 we learned the 4) We must understand the lament of those judged.
In v. 20 we saw that 5) We must understand the joy that his judgment will bring.
Now, in v. 21 we see that 6) We must understand the picture of God's judgment.
And in v. 22, we began to unpack the idea that 7) We must understand the totality of God's judgment.
We considered in v. 22a a) The end of the artistic realm.
Now, we also consider b) The end of the economic

Then, we start discussing the idea that 8) We must understand the reasons for his judgment.
Here, in v. 23b we discover the first reason is a) She practiced deceptive sorcery.
