Babylon, "the Great"

“Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,

‘So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence,

and will be found no more;

and the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will be heard in you no more,

and a craftsman of any craft will be found in you no more,

and the sound of the mill will be heard in you no more,

and the light of a lamp will shine in you no more,

and the voice of bridegroom and bride will be heard in you no more…’” (Revelation 18:21-23).

Babylon, the proud City of Man, "laid waste in a single hour." 18:17) The arts, the crafts, the industries, the arenas, the markets, the meeting places and all the joys of life sink like a millstone into the sea.

All because of a tiny germ... 

“The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity" (1 John 2:17, The Message).
