4-7 Then those who are in ignorance of good and truth, because of a lack of them, will be brought to the Lord. (11)
8 They will depart from Babylon. 11 (11)
11 because they have vastated the church. (3)
12-13 It is without any truth. (3, 4)
14-16 Their destruction at the time of judgment, (15)
17 because she has destroyed the church. (15, 3)

21-24 Babylon will be destroyed because she is against the Lord. (3)
25-30 They are to be wholly destroyed, (3)
31-32 on account of the love of ruling, (3)
33-34 because they do not refrain from destroying the church which the Lord establishes and redeems. (3)
35-38 All things appertaining to them from firsts to lasts have been destroyed by means of falsities. (3)

For out of the north there comes up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they are fled, they are gone, both man and animal.
