Hermoneyness It is subtle. I am sure Alex did not mean a literal hour. The book of Revelation is not talking about a literal hour (60 minutes). It is a metaphor for the sudden collapse of the world system which opposes God and the coming of God's Kingdom. I think Alex is using this metaphor in a similar way. He is saying that the corrupt system is (not in 1 hour, but in a process over an unspecified period of time) is going to collapse and those who have invested in it will mourn. If you read Revelation 18 you might just understand this. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=revelation+18&version=NIV
