Revelation 18:10
"Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas,
alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city!
for in one hour is thy judgment come."
In the description of the destruction of the city of Babylon given in Rev. 18, we read that her judgment will come in one hour (vs. 10), and that in one hour she shall be made desolate (vs. 19), and as an illustration of the suddenness and completeness of her destruction, "And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all (Rev. 18:21).
She is to be destroyed by Fire as well (Rev. 18:8, 9, 18, and this is in exact harmony with the words of Isaiah; "And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah (Is. 13:19). The prophet Jeremiah makes the same statement; "As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein (Jer. 50:40). The prophecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah cannot be fulfilled unless there is to be a Future Babylon that shall be destroyed.
In Rev. 16:17-19, we are told that Babylon will be destroyed by an Earthquake, with lighting and great thunder. So it appears since, Sodom and Gomorrah were first set on fire and then swallowed up by an earthquake, that the rebuilt city of Babylon will be set on fire, and then an earthquake will cause the burning city to fall into a "Lake of Fire" and the city like a "Millstone" (Rev. 18:21 will sink below the surface of the earth as into the sea, and be swallowed up so that it will be impossible to ever use her stones for building purposes, and the land shall become a Wilderness where no man shall ever dwell. And the Kings of the earth, and the merchants, and the ship-masters, and sailors, and all who have profited by her merchandise, will stand afar off and cry, and wail because of her destruction, but the heavens will rejoice for God will have rewarded her Double according to her work, and BABYLON WILL BE NO MORE
As to the probability of the ancient city of Babylon being rebuilt, just look at the events in the past years in that part of the world; It looks to be happening.
Amen!!
