Greetings dfriars! According to Revelation 14:8 [Dan. 4:30], Babylon (the world's political and religious system) is overthrown by the Lamb of God. Literal Babylon was overthrown in 689 B.C. and again in 539 (Isaiah 21:9, Jeremiah 51:8). Sennacherib sacked the city of Babylon in 689 B.C. and Nebuchadnezzar raised it to its height of glory. Cyrus, king of Persia, took it without resistance (2 Chr. 36:22), and Darius Hystaspis besieged, took it, and destroyed its walls (Ezra 4:24, Neh. 12:22, Dan. 5:31). King Xerxes plundered it, and Alexander the Great planned to restore Babylon. However, Babylon never regained its population. - Nolan |
