Joe: Alright, so we're talking about Isaiah 21. What can you tell me about this chapter?

Bible Expert: Well, Isaiah 21 is a prophecy about the fall of Babylon. It talks about God's judgment on Babylon, and how it will be taken over by the Medes. It also mentions the "burdensome stone" that will ultimately bring about Babylon's collapse.

Joe: Wow, that's pretty intense. So what does this "burdensome stone" represent?

Bible Expert: It's a metaphor for the armies that will come to conquer Babylon. It signifies how strong and powerful they will be.

Joe: Interesting. So what happens to Babylon in the end?

Bible Expert: It will be completely destroyed, and its people will be taken away into captivity. It will be a total and complete defeat.

Joe: Wow, that's a pretty harsh punishment. So why is God so angry with Babylon?

Bible Expert: Babylon had rejected God's laws and chosen to worship false gods instead. God saw this as a form of rebellion and punishment was necessary to remind them of His power.
