Note: The great city of Babylon was the capital of an ancient kingdom founded by the first descendants of Noah soon after the flood. It was a very great city with high walls, and the entrances were one hundred gates of solid brass. They believed that the city was unconquerable, but according to the sure Word of prophecy, it was defeated by an inferior kingdom. A pile of brick that once formed a part of the city of Babylon is stored in the British Museum in London today. All the past glory of that city is now buried in the rubbish heap of history.
