Rev 14:8 | MHM | STEP | v. 8 : The second angel follows and announces, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great!” The preaching of the gospel has weakened antichristian power and led to Babylon’s fall. Babylon means Rome here, known for its wickedness, pride, and idolatry. Its fall is certain because God has said it will happen. Rome’s evil, in corrupting and misleading the nations, is the reason for its destruction (Revelation 14:8 ).
