Bible Question:
kalos, Gods best to you this morning.I was watching this special on the history channel yesterday. Back at the peak of it's power it was considered the cultural and religious center of the then known world. Revelation 14 and later chapters reference is made to Babylon,Could this be a symbolic reference to Rome and the Roman empire? In Christ, lionheart |
Bible Answer: 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great is the central message of this flying angel. Spoken of in the past tense suggests that the author sees the event as so certain that he can represent it as done. Babylon can be used one of two ways here: (1) literally and (2) figuratively. Some futurists have argued for the literal city of Babylon. Preterists have argued for Jerusalem. Others argue for Rome. This issue will be discussed in Revelation 17 and 18 at great length.'
