ok folks, in the bible, babylon (or religious confusion) is referred to as female. God instructs his people to "come out of her". The seven-headed beast referred to in the bible book of revelation is actually the seven major religious denominations (see the book of revelation) also known as babylon. These religions and religious leaders will preach peace to deceive mankind, but their actions will not match their words. they will wage war in the name of peace. This is what Prince is talking about when he says "And I saw an angel come down unto me In her hand she holds the very key Words of compassion, words of peace And in the distance an army's marching feet (1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4) But behold, we will watch them fall". The bible promises, however, that these seven religious denominations will fall; "sing it while we watch them fall". This is a beautiful song about the hope of things getting better for christians everywhere, even though at the moment they seem to be getting worse. |
