Jeremiah 51:46
Compare all
44 I will punish aBel in Babylon,
And I will bring out of his mouth what he has swallowed;
And the nations shall not stream to him anymore.
Yes, bthe wall of Babylon shall fall. 
45 “Mya people, go out of the midst of her!
And let everyone deliver1 himself from the fierce anger of the Lord. 
46 And lest your heart faint,
And you fear afor the rumor that will be heard in the land
(A rumor will come one year,
And after that, in another year
A rumor will come,
And violence in the land,
Ruler against ruler), 
47 Therefore behold, the days are coming
That I will bring judgment on the carved images of Babylon;
Her whole land shall be ashamed,
And all her slain shall fall in her midst.
48 Then athe heavens and the earth and all that is in them
Shall sing joyously over Babylon;
bFor the plunderers shall come to her from the north,” says the Lord.

Jeremiah 51:46

Literally, "And beware lest your heart faint, and ye be afraid because of the rumour that is heard in the land: for in one year shall one rumour come, and afterward in another year another rumour; and violence shall be in the land etc." The fall of Babylon was to be preceded by a state of unquiet, men' s minds being unsettled partly by rumors of the warlike preparations of the Medes, and of actual invasions: partly by intestine feuds. So before the conquest of Jerusalem by the Romans the Church had similar warnings Matthew 24:6-7.
