1 And after these things, I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great power and the earth was enlightened by his 2 glory. And he cried with a mighty voice, saying; "She is fal"len! the great Ba"bylon is fallen! and "is become an habi"tation of demons, "and a station of "every unclean spirit, "and station of

1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power: and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3 For all nations have

drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her de4 licacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not par

I heard another voice from heaven, saying;

takers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues:
