→Chapter 18
|<span id="18:7"></span> How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

|To the extent that she glorified herself, and lived luxuriously, give her just as much torment and sorrow! She says in her heart, 'I sit as a queen, I am not a widow, and I will never be sorry'!

|Compare with: "And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it. Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments." (Isaiah 47:7–9)
While Rev. 18:7 makes no direct mention of loss of children, the parallelism is indicative that the said characteristic/event is nonetheless implied. Compare with Rev. 2:23, where God warns of killing spiritual Jezebel's ''children''. Parallelism? Could Babylon the Great be the same power as the Jezebel mentioned in the letter to the angel of the church in Thyatira?
