A Prophecy Concerning Babylon

GOD: Master of the Nations
(A Hypothetical Apocalyptic Rendering)
God is mustering the armies of His wrath against the inhabitants of Babylon, [the center of a formidable political world power of underground organized crime- involved in a secret bid for worldwide domination ( combined with internal and external support groups and members). This chapter foretells the destruction of Babylon by the Medes (the “Liberators of Justice”) and the Persians (under the command of Cyrus- commissioned as a specialized task force for this purpose) who are expressly mentioned as the principal agents in the overthrow of the Babylonian monarchy.”

NEXT: In Revelation 13, John records the drama focusing in on two evil characters symbolized as a Water Monster and an Earth Monster. These symbolized the final corrupt political and religious leader (Anti-Christ) and the Kingdom of Babylon that would attempt worldwide prominence.

Jamieson, Fausset, Brown Commentary.- “And I will set among them a sign and I will send from them those who escape [“from the tokens of the divine displeasure”] to the nations…” – a banner on a high place, to indicate the place of meeting for the dispersed Israelite exiles, preparatory to their return to their land. The Gentile survivors spared by God shall act as missionaries to their several nations and represent it.
