Verses 21-24 of Revelation chapter 18 provide us with one more glimpse of Babylon’s fall. This great city, the headquarters and capital of the Antichrist during the days of the tribulation, and the symbol of all that is immoral and godless during those days, will be destroyed by God. And its destruction will be so complete, that no one will ever inhabit it again. Its pride and prosperity will be devastated. Its reputation as a mighty city and as the home of the Antichrist’s godless government will be wiped out. The entire city will simply cease to be. In many ways, this is reminiscent of the scene that happened during the Old Testament, when God stopped the people of Babel from building their tall tower. They were attempting to make a name for themselves by building a great tower that would reach into the heavens. But that building project was brought to an abrupt end by God. And the city of Babylon, rebuilt and restored to power and prominence during the tribulation, will also have its days of glory cut short. Its wealth, renown, power and prestige will be destroyed by God. Never to be seen again.
