1181. Verse 21. And one strong angel took up a stone as it were a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall Babylon be cast down, that great city, and shall be found no more.

"And one strong angel took up a stone, as it were a great millstone, and cast it into the sea," signifies all the confirmations of their doctrine from the Word cast down into hell with them; "saying, Thus with violence shall Babylon be cast down, that great city, and shall not be found any more," signifies the total destruction of that doctrine and religion, and that they shall not rise again.
