Heaven vs Babylon

Revelation gives us a detailed account of the fall of Babylon. The Revelator also show us how the wealthy kings and nobles of this earth are going to weep and lament over Babylon's fall.

However, for God's people there is a different story. God's people are actually going to rejoice over the fall of Babylon because they are looking for a heavenly city whose builder and maker is God. They will be ushered into the marriage supper of lamb and will receive everlasting joy and rest. What a contrast between this earth Babylon and the New Jerusalem.
