Jesus uses the same language as that used by the prophets to describe the temporal judgment against ancient nations, in this case against ancient Babylon. You have to invent and then jump through literalist hoops to make this language speak of actual cosmic phenomenon.

I don't have a twelve step program to describe my epistemology. I don't think the subject is that complicated. Mine is quite simple. There are two ways of looking at things; man's way and God's way, more specifically Christ's way. Unbelievers suppress the truth and invent their own way of looking at the world. Believers in Jesus Christ are to have the mind of Christ and so we are to bring His Word to bear on every subject. It ain't high-falutin or rocket science.

Amen!

If politics were not involved here, I wonder how many on this thread would still be in disagreement with you and Scripture?
