6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a
watchman, let him adeclare what he seeth.
7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
8 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:
9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men,
with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said,
aBabylon is fallen, is
fallena; and all the graven images
of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
10 aO my threshing, and the corn of
my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel,
have I declared unto you.

9a Babylon is fallen, is fallen
We hear that symbolically Babylon represents the wicked fallen world, but one
must notice that all nations which are not a part of Israel has such a burden
declared upon it. And such it is, either one joins itself unto 'Israel' in the
Lord and become a part of Zion/Jerusalem in him or else they are in effect
against or not a part of the Lord and of all such, they shall fall who are not
attached to the LORD. For there are but two churches, the Church of God and
the church of the devil, and if one is not a part of 'Israel' which is the
representative of those who are the Lord's, who have prevailed in him, then
they are of the other and their burden unto destruction is great and paralleled
with that of the godless nations of the earth which are not counted as a part
of God's Zion, his Jerusalem.
