Bible Question: what is the place of the daugther of babylon in the present day and how it affects a believer today? |
Bible Answer: O virgin daughter of Babylon. The prophet depicted Babylon as a virgin in the sense of never before having been captured. Babylon sat like a royal virgin in the dust, experiencing complete humiliation. The “throne” was gone, taken by Persian power, and the empire never recovered from being robbed of its power, its people, and its name. The former royal virgin is depicted as a slave woman forced to exchange royal garments for working clothes, who must lift her garment to wade through the water as she serves like a slave traversing the river in her duties. Such duties in the E belonged to women of low rank, fitting imagery for Babylon’s fall into degradation. John F. MacArthur, Jr., The MacArthur Study Bible, (Dallas: Word Publishing) 1997.
