Revelation 14:8



And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

·        The wickedness of Babylon will make her fall just (MH)

·        “Prophetically, ‘Babylon’ sometimes refers to a literal city, sometimes to a religious system, sometimes to a political system, all stemming from the evil character of historic Babylon.” (Walvoord)

Isaiah 21:9  And look, here comes a chariot of men with a pair of horsemen!”  Then he answered and said, ‘Babylon is fallen, is fallen!  And all the carved images of her gods He has broken to the ground.”

Jeremiah 51:7  Babylon was a golden cup in the LORD’S hand, that made all the earth drunk.  The nations drank her wine; therefore the nations are deranged.
