Footnotes

1: “And all those who have been slain”

Did this thing that is represented by “Babylon” really kill all the innocent people who have been killed? It depends on how you interpret “Babylon.” If it is sinful, selfish attitudes, then yes. If it is something else then it may be hyperbole, meaning that it killed most of them.
