The Fall of Babylon - When the King Dethrones the Queen

2 cities: Jerusalem and Babylon; the city of God and the city of Man. So Augustine illustrated. Isaiah's prophecy is fleshed out in this difficult passage.

1. The fall: A queen without a throne, verses 1-7
2. The cause: Pride goes before the fall, verses 8-11
3. A religion without a Savior, verses 12-15
