Revelation 18:14-16

¹⁴ The ripe fruits and delicacies for which your soul longed have gone from you, and all your luxuries and dainties, your elegance and splendor are lost to you, never again to be recovered or experienced!

• The root of all evil, which as we have discussed so often is the love of money, also known as the Great Whore, or Babylon, will never come back into being. Jesus brings in the way of faith when He returns and worldliness will be cast out so the Fruit of the Spirit will abound. 
• Then the cares and anxieties of the world and distractions of the age, and the pleasure and delight and false glamour and deceitfulness of riches, and the craving and passionate desire for other things creep in and choke and suffocate the Word, and it becomes fruitless. Mark 4:19
• The Word will be the One ruling and governing the world and Jesus and His Bride will not be fruitless when He returns. 
• The cares of this world do not allow us to truly enjoy life. When Jesus returns that will all change and it will scare those who have only trusted in worldly wealth. They will mourn over what they perceive to be a loss, but their tears will be turned into joy.
• But we have to remember that not everything changes right when Jesus returns, that will occur a thousand years later when our Father comes and makes everything new. So when Jesus comes back our guests will still have fear and doubts. This is why Jesus will rule the world with an Iron Rod, Revelation 2:27.
• And He Who is seated on the throne said, See! I make all things new. Also He said, Record this, for these sayings are faithful (accurate, incorruptible, and trustworthy) and true (genuine). Revelation 21:5 (This occurs after Jesus' Millennial Reign.)
• God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, neither shall there be anguish (sorrow and mourning) nor grief nor pain any more, for the old conditions and the former order of things have passed away. Revelation 21:4

¹⁵ The dealers who handled these articles, who grew wealthy through their business with her, will stand a long way off, in terror of her doom and torment, weeping and grieving aloud, and saying,

¹⁶ Alas, alas for the great city that was robed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, bedecked and glittering with gold, with precious stones, and with pearls!
