Babylon or Christendom

We live at a moment when Babylon, or Christendom, is filling itself afresh with this boast, just previous to her overthrow, when she is to meet the doom of the potter's vessel or of the millstone. This boast is defiance; it is not faith in God, but real disavowal of His claims. It is the denial of her subjection to Him, of her being in the place of the steward's wife, answerable to Him and His judgment. It is the very characteristic that completes her identification with that Babylon which says, "I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow." It leaves her ready for the judgment, as the potter's vessel in the valley of the son of Hinnom, so also of the millstone in the hand of the Angel in Rev. 18. Words of Truth
