⚫ Egypt, Assyria and Babylon (Symbolic)
Rev. 16 [...]
"And the great city became three parts, and the cities of the nations fell down; and Babylon the great was remembered before God, to have given her the cup of the wine of the indignation of his wrath." (Vs. 19, Diag.) The great city Babylon is Satan's organization. The Lord, by his 'measuring line', has disclosed to his people the three parts of Satan's organization, typically represented by Egypt, Assyria and Babylon. [...] The Lord has disclosed the three portions of Satan's organization and given a vision of his own army to the "kings of the east" that they might assault and expose not merely the ecclesiastical division of the enemy's organization, but also the commercial and political part thereof. When before Belshazzar Daniel said: "Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians," Daniel pictured God's faithful people. (Dan. 5:28) Likewise they see that Satan's organization is about to be divided and given to the "kings of the cast". Source : 🇺🇸 1930 - Light, Vol 2, page 62, page 63 + Cover |
