Up to this moment, the empire of the antichrist looked completely secure but from this point, we see the sudden collapse of the empire. Irish Scripture Scholar begins this episode with Verse 7 of Chapter 18 of the Book of Revelation. The seven plagues set in motion the destruction of the city; now we see the complete end to the empire of the antichrist and those in it mourning the destruction.

St. John, using the language of the prophets, gives us the mourning of the economic collapse of the earth in detail. The 10 kings with the 10 horns are helpless and the traders of the earth have nobody to buy their goods; they all lament the fallen Babylon. Those who mourn the collapse are the ones who most benefit from it but, all that Scripture says must be fulfilled.
