Destruction of Babylon

By

SYNOPSIS – The complete destruction of Babylon is God’s response to the persecution by “her” of the “saints” – Revelation 18:9-24 .  The book of Revelation now presents its detailed description of the destruction of “ Babylon ,” and the justification for this action. In part, the demise of the “ Great City ” is due to the hatred of the “ ten horns ,” the “ ten kings ” who are allied with the “ Beast from the Sea ” in their God-driven campaign to desolate and “ burn her utterly with fire ” - ( Revelation 17:16 ).

Kings of the East

OVERVIEW - The “Kings of the East” are identical to the “Kings of the Earth” and allied with the “beast from the Sea” – Revelation 16:12-19 . The contents of the “ sixth bowl of wrath ” present the reader with an image of an army led by the “ kings from the sun-rising .” This force launched an invasion from beyond the Euphrates River. The picture was derived from Old Testament prophecies about the overthrow of ancient Babylon by the “ Medes and Persians ” under the leadership of Cyrus the Great. Once more, God was about to employ a “pagan” force to destroy “ Babylon ,” only this time it was the “ Great Whore ” - End-time “ Babylon .” - [ Photo by Kyle Glenn on Unsplash ].
