📚 Historical Context

In the book of Revelation, written by the apostle John during the Roman Empire's persecution of early Christians, Babylon is depicted as a symbol of corrupt worldly powers, likely representing Rome with its idolatry and moral decay. This chapter portrays the judgment and fall of Babylon, serving as a prophetic warning to believers. The voice from heaven urges God's people to separate from this system to avoid sharing in its sins and resulting plagues.
