What does the great millstone symbolize in Revelation?

Answered in 1 source

The great millstone symbolizes the sure and complete destruction of Babylon and her false practices.

In Revelation 18, the great millstone represents not only the judgment against Babylon but also the irreversible nature of her destruction. When cast into the sea, it signifies that the allure and influence of false religion—depicted as Babylon—will be entirely eradicated. This imagery emphatically conveys that all worldly systems built on deception, self-righteousness, and rebellion against God will come to an end. Furthermore, Christians are reminded that their lives should not be conformed to the patterns of this world, but rather anchored in the truth of the Gospel that leads to eternal life, as the world will ultimately face God's judgment.
