Here we have a symbolic representation of the harlot's destruction. A great millstone would be the one turned by animals in contrast to one women turned by hand. A mighty angel (Compare Revelation 5:2; Revelation 10:1) casting such a stone into the sea would clearly demonstrate the finality of Babylon's judgment. Once it had been cast into the sea, such a stone would not be seen again. This is very similar to Jeremiah 51:61-64. This is the second occurrance of the expression "no more at all." (verse 14) It will occur four times in the next two verses to verify the finality of this judgment.
