God Ties Babylon's Fall to the Passage of a House Divided Cannot Stand

Question on Facebook:

"I was wondering if as I look at a word in the New Testament Greek word like divide in Satan’s kingdom is divided how do I know the Old Testament word for divide is the same meaning since it’s a different word as the Hebrew word or number. Would it be the context"

McCann reply:

Usually we look for a N.T. quote of an O.T. verse that would give equivalent words. But if we don't have that, then we look for similar context. For example, God links the word divided in Luke 11:17,18 with Babylon's fall through the phrase "brought to desolation".

Brought to desolation is translation of the Greek word ereemoo (#2049) which is found only 5 times in N.T.

Twice it is used in relationship to kingdom/house (see Matthew 12:25) divided.

And three times, #2049 is used in reference to Babylon (Revelation 17:16, Revelation 18:17,19). The two references in Revelation 18 have to do with Babylon's fall.

And since ereemoo (#2049) is used in the context of a house/kingdom divided falling (again see Luke 11:17,18), as well as Babylon's fall in Revelation 18:17,19, we know that Babylon's fall (the kingdoms of this world) is language that has to do with division at the time of the end.

Therefore, as we read Daniel chapter 5 that describes the historical fall of Babylon, we find that the Lord gave Daniel ability to interpret the writing on the wall which included language of Babylon being divided:

Daniel 5:25 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.

The word “divided” used here (#6537/see also #6536) would be equivalent to the N.T. word “divided” concerning a house divided cannot stand.
