Revelation18:21
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great milstone , 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 .
For a Sign or Symbol
of the irreparable Ruine of Rome signified by that great Milstone which had ground to Powder so many of God's Holy Ones.
By this Sign God shews his Prophet, 1. That Rome shall be ruined. 2. That is shall be done with violence. 3. That it shall be a total, utter Ruine, from whence it shall never recover.
Marginal references: Jer. 51.64.
