Messengers are sprinting from every direction, each one racing to tell the next, all carrying the same news to the king of Babylon: 'Your city is falling, piece by piece.'

And look, here comes a chariot full of men, with two horsemen. And he responded and said, 'Babylon has fallen, has fallen! And all the carved idols of her gods have been smashed to the ground.'

You will not escape from his power, but you will definitely be captured and handed over to him. You will see the king of Babylon face to face, and he will speak with you directly, and you will be taken to Babylon.
