REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirty - The Wheat and the Weeds - Continue

As we previously noted, the proud city of Babylon experienced a disastrous fall from power in 539 B.C.E. Then the cry was heard: "She has fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen!"  The great seat of the world empire has fallen to the armies of Medo-Persia under Cyrus the Great. Although the city itself survived the conquest, her fall from power was real and it resulted in the release of her Jewish captives.  They returned to  Jerusale to reestablish  pure worship there. -ISAIAH21:9; 2 CHRONICLES 36:22, 23; JEREMIAH 51:7, 8.
