Babylon fell in a single hour when the Euphrates river was diverted and the Persians marched right in and slaughtered all the princes drunk from an all night wine kegger. The city was completely self contained, it had an infinite amount of water but the gate to that water did not go to the floor of the river. All the watchmen were asleep. That very night the hand of God wrote on the wall:
And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
29 Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
30 ¶In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
There have been 3 Babylons, proto Babylon: the people of Babel, the neo Babylonian Empire, most whose most famous king was Nebuchadnezzar and Mystery Babylon, which will also fall in an hour like the other two. Like the other two, the third will never be inhabited again.
