What does Revelation 18 teach about God's judgment?

Answered in 1 source

Revelation 18 depicts God's judgment upon false prophets and their followers, illustrating the consequences of rejecting His righteousness.

Revelation 18 details God's judgment on the false prophets and merchants of the earth, who profit from a religion built on self-righteousness rather than true faith. The passage illustrates that those who are involved in false religion, likened to merchants, will face severe consequences for their actions. As a result, they stand afar off, weeping and wailing over their impending judgment, unaware of the futility of their positions without the righteousness of Christ.

The identity of these merchants, as discussed in the sermon, emphasizes that they are not merely institutions but represent individuals caught in the web of falsehood. These false prophets and merchants stand to gain materially and reputationally from the allure of worldly religion, yet they remain blind to their spiritual poverty. They think themselves rich but are, in fact, under God's judgment and doomed to eternal separation from Him. This judgment is sure and serves to remind believers of the importance of true righteousness, which is only found in Christ.
