Daniel P. Barron

With violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down.

It sounds good to say:


I'm not about violence; be it physical, emotional, or verbal.

But not all violence is bad. "With violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down." i "The day of the Lord comes, Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger." ii And "wounds of a friend" are "faithful." iii

  1. Revelation 18:

    21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.

     ^

  2. Isaiah 13:

    9 Behold, the day of the Lord comes,
    Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger,
    To lay the land desolate;
    And He will destroy its sinners from it.

     ^

  3. Proverbs 27:

    6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
    But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

     ^
