Because the church had continued to drink up the waters of Babylon, it had become ruined, corrupted, and worthless (13:7), being good for nothing (13:10), which was to be cast away and destroyed (13:14).
Kwa sababu Kanisa lilikuwa limeendelea kunywa maji ya Babeli, lilikuwa limeharibika, kupotoshwa, na kukoswa thamani (13:7), walikuwa hawafai tena kwa lolote (13:10), isipokuwa kutupwa na kuharibiwa (13:14).
