To.
the land.
 The land of Shinar, the place and the home of avowed opposition to God (see Gen. 11:2), where this incarnation of wickedness should have a house established; and he set upon her own base. The Jewish nation — that is to say, that which is publicly owned as such, although there will be a true remnant which will have this place before God — will become openly apostate, and will then be seen in its real Babylonish character. The fulfillment of all this will take place during the sway of the antichrist, who will be an apostate Jew (Dan. 11:37) as well as the denier of the Father and the Son. (1 John 2). (Zechariah 5 by E. Dennett)
