Babylon is a city to contrast Jerusalem. She is wicked while Jerusalem is Pure. Women produce four cells only one of which becomes an egg suitable for fertilization. They show three lonely women at the beginning and several times there after which would not be enough cells to produce a fertile egg unless the implied fourth would be the city herself. Similarly they show three joyous women with a man as the fourth this makes a person picture a prophecy in Genesis that the seed of the woman would crush the serpents head. Also the fourth son being Judah and also the fourth generation from Our Father Abraham. Feet usually dirty and on the ground symbolize death but they got them Havin a party in the air and clean. I’m not exactly sure if many of these aspects are planned but their is a contrast with the heads and the feet. The feet are all on the same level while the heads move up with the man at top. Just some of the things I noticed that are interesting.
