The story of the fall of Babylon is a story of God’s justice and mercy. Babylon was a powerful and wicked empire that oppressed many nations, including the people of Judah, whom God had chosen as his special people. Babylon worshiped false gods and defiled the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem. God sent prophets to warn Babylon of its impending doom, but they did not repent. God also promised to restore his people from captivity and bring them back to their land. In 539 BC, God used Cyrus the Great, the king of Persia, to overthrow Babylon in a swift and unexpected attack. Cyrus was a benevolent ruler who allowed the Jews and other captives to return to their homelands and rebuild their temples. The fall of Babylon was a fulfillment of God’s word and a demonstration of his sovereignty over the nations 🙏✝️ #motivationalquotes #jesuschrist #christianity #bibleverse
