A great lamentation by shipmasters and sailors Revelation 18:17-19: In a single hour the power of Rome would be lost and all her vast wealth wiped out. All ship captains, pilots, and navigators and all that live by seafaring also lamented the downfall of Rome. She had made them rich, but now they mourn because they have no more cargo to deliver. As the seafaring men watch what happened to Rome they could only lament, "What city could be compared to the great city!"

Their lamentation was so great that they threw dust on their heads, wept, and grieved. In one single hour God's wrath waxed hot against Rome and she was destroyed. Those that had been made rich through her extravagance grieved. Wealthy Rome has been destroyed and has become a desert! We again see that without Christ there is great loss.
