Who is Sheshach and why was she called the praise of the earth?
Sheshach is another name for Babylon. This great country has the praise from all the earth for the wealth of various kinds that are acquired by the nations of the world. This is caused by Babylon’s payments to foreign countries for the great amount of goods that is bought from the various nations of the world. These goods are described in Revelation, chapter 18. The praise is not really praise, but envy. This envy will later change to contempt and hate for Babylon by most of the nations of the world.
