Theological / Devotional

Destroying mountain. The reference is plainly to Babylon, but inasmuch as the city was situated in completely flat country, the expression must be understood figuratively of her great dominating power. Daniel uses a similar figure for God’s kingdom (Dan. 2:34, 35, 44, 45; cf. Rev. 17:9, 10).
