For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
En solo una hora, toda esa inmensa riqueza desapareció por completo. Todos los capitanes de barcos, tripulantes, marineros y cualquiera que se ganara la vida del comercio marítimo se quedaron a distancia, viendo cómo todo se desplomaba.
La gran riqueza de Babilonia se destruyó en una hora, y todos los que dependían del comercio marítimo observaron su caída desde lejos.
📚 Contexto Histórico
The Book of Revelation was written by the Apostle John around AD 95 during the persecution of Christians under the Roman Empire, a time when the empire's wealth and power through trade and conquest were at their peak. In Chapter 18, Babylon is depicted as a symbol of corrupt worldly systems, particularly those built on greed and commercial excess, representing cities like Rome that oppressed believers. This verse illustrates the sudden judgment of God on such systems, showing how those who profited from them, like sailors and merchants, are left in shock and mourning.
