THE FALL OF BABYLON AND VICTORY OF HEAVEN REVELATION 17, 18 Babylon is a symbol of disobedience and opposition towards God, thus some people believe that Babylon is the civil capital of the kingdom of the Antichrist. She is: Characterized by corruption, "the mother of harlots." Violent, she sits as a crowned queen on a murderous beast. Sitting on many waters, many populations submit to her authority. Adorned as a bride for the Dragon and the Beast. Insolent, writing on her forehead: "Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth" (17:5). Heaven declares her fall under the curse many times [18], and asks the believers to avoid her (18:4-8), whereas she is lamented by the kings of the earth, who submitted to her and shared in her corruption (18:9-10), and the merchants of the earth, who temporally benefited from her trade (18:11-16), as well as the middlemen (18:17-20). Heaven confirms her fall (18:12-24): [Some people believe that Rev. 17 talks about the fall of the ecclesiastical Babylon while Rev. 18 talks about the fall of the commercial or civil Babylon.] 1. The removal of people of amusement. 2. Her loss of craftsmen. 3. Her loss of even the essential things needed for life: "the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore" 22. 4. Total darkness: "the light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore." 5. Cessation of happiness and childbirth. 59
