Then a mighty angel took up a stone
like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence
the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.
- · Reminds us of what Jesus said in Matthew 18:6: But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. This applies to Babylon in Revelation 18, because she led others into sin. It is a terrible thing to sin unto yourself; it is even more terrible to lead others into sin. (DG)
- · Will this fall hurt us? We will only be hurt to the extent that we invest ourselves in the mentality of commercial Babylon’s materialism and worldliness. (DG)
Isiah 51:63 Now it shall be, when you have finished
reading this book that you shall tie a stone to it and throw it out into the
Euphrates.
Judges 9:53 But a certain woman dropped an upper
millstone on Abimelech’s head and crushed his skull.
