Revelation 18:18

Interpretation based on the study:  Crying after I AM to have vision of insight, to be joined in union in intimate relating with Essence, Way.  Received into Yahwah's unremitting Presence, kept alive in full flame by Word Eternal in resemblance to I AM.  Restored unto Original Pattern, humanity gathered into the household and rule of Aloha.

Lamsa:  And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like to this great city!

Magiera:  And they cired over it as they were watching the smoke of its burning and saying, What [city] is like the great city?"

Etheridge:  and cried, while beholding the smoke of her burning, saying, What is like to this great city!
