713、“大巴比伦在神面前被想起，要把那盛神烈怒的酒杯递给她”表示那时天主教宗教信条的毁灭。“巴比伦”作为一座城，如此处，表示在宗教信条和教义方面的这种宗教说服或宗教形式(AR 631节)。“要把那盛神烈怒的酒杯递给她”表示摧毁，直到只有邪恶和虚假；“神烈怒的酒杯”就表示这一点(参看AR 631, 632节)。
713. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of His wrath. This symbolizes the destruction also at that time of the dogmas of the Roman Catholic religion.
As a city, as it is here, Babylon symbolizes the Roman Catholic religion in respect to its dogmas and doctrines (no. 631). To give her the cup of the wine of the fury of God's wrath means, symbolically, to destroy it to the point that nothing but evil and falsity remains. That this is the symbolic meaning of the cup of the wine of the fury of God's wrath may be seen in nos. 631, 632 above.
[2] 16:20 [Then every island fled away, and mountains were not found. This symbolically means that there was no longer any truth of faith, nor any goodness of love.] 1

713. 'And great Babylon came into remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the growing anger of His wrath' signifies the destruction also at that time of the dogmas of the Roman Catholic form of religion. By 'Babylon' as a city, as here, is signified that form of religion as to its dogmas and doctrinal tenets (631). By 'to give unto her the cup of the wine of the growing anger of God's wrath' is signified to devastate until there is nothing but evil and untruth. That this is signified by 'the cup of the wine of the growing anger of God's wrath' may be seen above (631-632).
713. And great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the wrath of His anger, signifies then the destruction also of the dogmas of the Roman Catholic religion. By "Babylon" as a city, as here, is signified that religious persuasion as to its dogmas and doctrinals, (631). By "giving her the cup of wine of the wrath of the anger of God," is signified to devastate until there is nothing but evil and falsity; that this is meant by "the cup of the wine of the wrath of the anger of God," see above, (631, 632).
713. "Et Babylon magna venit in memoriam coram Deo, dare illi poculum vini excandescentiae illae Ipsius," significat tunc etiam destructionem dogmatum Religiosi Catholico Romani. - Per "Babylonem" ut urbem, ut hic, significatur Religiosum illud quoad ejus dogmata et doctrinalia (631); per "dare illi poculum vini excandescentiae irae Dei" significatur devastare usque ut non sit nisi quam malum et falsum; quod id per "poculum vini excandescentiae irae Dei" significetur, videatur supra (631, 632).
