And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Revelation 14:8/18:2,4
"Let not the unbeliever rejoice over the fallen state of the church, for it is an omen of no good to the world.
---for, while we admit the fact that the churches, as bodies, have become sadly degenerate, yet we firmly believe there are many true-hearted Christians in the different denominations, who mourn over the desolations of Zion."
