And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
A - `one.'
Millstone. Compare the judgment on Egypt at the Red Sea (Exodus 15:5; Exodus 15:10; Nehemiah 9:11), and the doom of Babylon, the world-power (Jeremiah 51:63-64).
With violence - `with impetus.' This prophecy is regarded as still to be fulfilled.
