The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 71
book of Isaiah. As can be seen below, Psalms 137:8 tells of the destruction of the daughter of
Babylon and Isaiah tells us that the daughter of Babylon is a virgin who shall no longer be tender
or delicate (Isaiah 47:1). In the Bible a virgin is a symbol of someone who serves the true God of
heaven (Matthew 25:1-13; 2 Corinthians 11:1-3; & Revelation 14:4). This particular virgin is the
symbol of a nation that serves the true God of heaven. This virgin nation (the daughter of
Babylon) is no longer tender or delicate. This would indicate that she is no longer loyal to the
God of heaven. This is a picture of a nation that was once Christian and has now turned its back
on God as described in Revelation 18:2
above. The complete text of Psalms 137:8 and Isaiah
47:1 are shown below:
O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that
rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. (Emphasis Added) (Psalms 137:8)
Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the
ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more
be called tender and delicate. (Emphasis Added) (Isaiah 47:1)
