Read Revelation 18:21 Using Other Translations
What does Revelation 18:21 mean?
And a mighty angel
Not Christ, nor one of the ministering spirits, but some man or
set of men, perhaps the same with him in ( Revelation
18:1 )
took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into
the sea;
just as Jeremiah took a stone and bound it to his book after he
had read it, and cast it into the river Euphrates, as a sign and
token of the destruction of old Babylon, ( Jeremiah
51:63 Jeremiah
51:64 ) ( Exodus 15:5 ) (
Nehemiah
9:11 )
saying, thus with violence shall that great city be thrown
down, and
shall be found no more at all;
which is expressive of the utter destruction of Rome, and of the
violence, force, and power with which it will be destroyed, and
of the suddenness and swiftness of its destruction, and of the
irrecoverableness of its state and condition.
