877. Verse 8. And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
"And there followed another angel," signifies manifestation from the Lord: "saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen," signifies the condemnation and destruction of those who have transferred to themselves the Divine Power of the Lord: "that great city," signifies devastation and destruction as to all things of doctrine among them: "because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication" signifies the adulteration of all things of the good of heaven and the church by dire falsities of evil.
