Revelation 18:23

Finality of Babylon’s Fall

21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, ^a“Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and ^bshall not be found anymore.

22 ^aThe sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore.

23 ^aThe light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, ^band the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For ^cyour merchants were the great men of the earth, ^dfor by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.

24 And ^ain her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who ^bwere slain on the earth.”

Revelation 18:24 >>

Revelation 18:22 And the voice of harpers. It is this third angel who declares the silence and desolation of the city now. And the sound of a millstone. In the mills grinding food for the people. The mills were hand-mills, usually worked by women as a domestic duty.
