3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”

A. People of all nations have fallen at the feet of immorality. All nations have participated in fornication. They have committed fornication with her.

B. The second part of this verse makes reference to the control of world wealth. The great harlot has, in promoting immorality, made many people rich.

C. Think about pornography for a minute. Many are made rich in the filming, production, and sale of such pictures. The same is true with gambling, prostitution, alcohol and many other immoral matters.
