SCRIPTURE

"Ho Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon." — Zechariah 2:7 (ASV)

Deliver yourself, O Zion
Or make your escape, you that belong to Mount Zion, the city of the living God, and ought to have your abode there, and not in Babylon: flee from thence, that dwells [with] the daughter of Babylon ;
in any of the antichristian states, who are the daughters of Babylon, the mother of harlots, (Revelation 17:5) so it may be rendered, "that inhabits the daughter of Babylon" F11 ; dwells in any of the cities, towns, and villages, belonging to it.
