In 51:7, Babylon was described as a gold cup in YHWH's hand, whereby the nation was made drunk and foolish. Getting drunk from the wine is a metaphor for receiving God's judgment. The gold cup as well as the one held by the woman dressed in purple and scarlet, glittering with gold, precious stone and pearls (Re 17:4), characterize arrogance and perversion.
Babylon is abundant in treasures, yet neither her waters nor her wealth shall secure her. Destruction comes when they did not think of it. Wherever we are, we are to remember the Lord our God; and in the times of the greatest fears and hopes, it is most needful to remember the Lord.
