After these things I [John] saw another angel come from heaven. He had tremendous power, and his glory lit up the earth. He cried out in a powerful voice, 

        “Fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen! She has become a home for demons. She is a prison for every evil spirit, every unclean bird, and every unclean and hated beast. All the nations fell because of the wine of her fornications. The kings of the earth had lusted after her. Her luxurious wealth has made the merchants of the earth rich.”
