Ancient Babylon reached the pinnacle of its glory during the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar (604-562 BC). It was undoubtedly one of the most powerful cities of ancient times. At its center stood the majestic palace of the god Marduk, alongside the towering structures that defined the skyline. The Euphrates River distinctly divided the city into two halves, flowing beneath the walls that encircled Babylon, effectively disturbing and purifying the air throughout the city.
As described by historians like Herodotus, King Nebuchadnezzar constructed massive fortresses with walls 24 meters wide and 97 meters high. The city was renowned for its beauty, featuring colorful buildings: yellow outer walls, blue city gates, and red palaces, … Despite this splendor, the prophecy from Isaiah 13:19-20 stated that Babylon would be destroyed and never rebuilt.
Revelation 18:8 is a significant message about the destruction of another Babylon. This message emphasizes similarities to what is found in Revelation 14:8
And another angel followed, saying, “Babylonis fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”
Revelation 14:8
