Jeremiah Chapter 51 verses 36 & 37

As we declare verse 35 against Satan and his kingdom, God will respond with verses 36 & 37 - "Therefore, thus saith the Lord, behold I will plead thy cause (we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous, 1 John 2:1), and take vengeance for thee (once we thoroughly purge our hearts of all that is of Babylon and in disgust plead verse 35 against her), and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry and Babylon shall become a heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment, and a hissing without an inhabitant".
Remember "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord" (Rom:12:19). Praise God that he is just and righteous in all his ways. When his righteous wrath is done - Babylon will be reduced to a "dwelling place for dragons", in other words, fit only for demons to dwell there. See, Hell was intended by God to be a "dwelling place for demons", the lake of fire a final dwelling place for every being in rebellion against him. He never intended for man to go there. It is not his intention that any soul should perish. When Babylon's sea and her springs are dried up, man can no longer dwell there. Amen.
It is interesting that a result of judgment is to become a "dry place". A dry place is anywhere there is an absence of water for water is necessary to sustain life, so we could say Babylon will become a place unable to sustain life and indeed IS a place unable to sustain true spiritual abundant life. In the end of days, all who thirst must go to Jesus for he is the water of life. Interestingly, Jesus said "when the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest and finding none". This leads me to believe Babylon and Hell are in the end, one and the same or at the least, Hell is the destiny for all who remain in Babylon, for Hell is a dry place, completely lacking water, where there is no water forever and all who end up there will forever be "seeking rest and finding none" (rest from their torment). No wonder it is an astonishment and a hissing. This is a repeat of Jeremiah 25:9 and a repeat of verse 41. In fact, she'll be such an astonishment among the nations that all the kings of the earth (remember, we are all created by God, therefore we are all royalty, we are all kings) who have committed fornication with her and lived deliciously with her shall bewail her and lament for her when they see the smoke of her burning. Standing afar off for fear of her torment, saying "Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her, for no man buyeth any more"(Rev:18:9-11). No more will money be used. No more will one person benefit and prosper at the expense of another. See, once Babylon falls, buying and selling go with her. God's kingdom operates on love, freely giving and receiving. Money isn't necessary because love will see to it that all are cared for and all needs are met.
We could in our lifetime see a world wide economic collapse so great that buying and selling become impossible. Buying and selling are Satan's way of bringing all men into a "constant dependency on him" (remember Nimrod?). When his kingdom is judged and destroyed, all that is of him will go too. No wonder the merchants of the earth, all who are caught up in Babylon's system of buying and selling, "cast dust on their heads and cried, weeping and wailing saying alas, alas that great city" (Rev:18:19). Yet as the world mourns over her, (all who have the mark whose names are not written in the Lamb's book of life), God commands his people to rejoice over her (Rev:18:20), as well we naturally should do anyway, without a command from God. We should all rejoice to see her fall, not to see people suffer but to see this world finally free from Satan's kingdom and influence.
