What does the Bible say about Babylon and judgment?

In Isaiah 47, Babylon is portrayed as a symbol of opposition to God, embodying those who do not belong to the elect of God but rather follow false doctrines and self-righteousness. Babylon is associated with pride and self-worship, where individuals boast of their own works to attain purity, yet God calls them to humility, proclaiming that their end is judgment (Isaiah 47:1-6). Such judgment is not arbitrary but just, as it reflects the glory of God upon those who have set themselves against Him, willingly participating in spiritual fornication against their Creator. Scriptural passages like Revelation 17 and 18 further elaborate on this judgment, illustrating God's definitive stance against all opposing forces, highlighting the necessary righteousness of God in executing judgment.
