“Babylon” in Revelation 18 is a symbolic name for the corrupt, idolatrous world power opposed to God, drawing on ancient Babylon in Mesopotamia, the empire that destroyed Jerusalem and exiled Judah. Its fall portrays God’s final judgment on a prosperous but morally corrupt system that seduces nations and persecutes his people.
