Babylonia was situated in the area known as Mesopotamia which means "between the rivers" in Greek. This area was in the Near East in roughly the same geographical position as modern Iraq. Two great rivers flowed through this land: the Euphrates and the Tigris. Along these two rivers were many great trading cities such as Ur and Babylon on the Euphrates.
Babylonia is placed on a flat plain and the Tigris and Euphrates rivers flow through it. Their course flows from Anatolia and Syria to the Persian Gulf. Mountains surround the East and North sides of the plain, the Zagros chain and Kurdistan, and the Syrian and Arabian deserts are in the west and south.
The development of civilization in the area was fueled by the existence of the Euphrates which was a perfect place for trade. To the north they could trade up the river to Syria and beyond and could be place with the cities of Sumer to the south. It became a large city full of economics benefits with lots of merchants and tradesmen, so that many people felt attracted to live there.

Explanation:
In his sermon "Sinners In The Hands of An Angry God", Jonathan Edwards gave a detailed description of what life is for those who stay away from the almighty God. He chooses to address this speech/ sermon to try to get the colonies back on tract to God and shy away from material things.
In this specific passage of the sermon, Edwards is describing in graphic details the fate of those who sin. He presents an image of hell "<em>gaping for them, flames gather(ing) and flash(ing) about them</em>" while "<em>the devil is waiting for them</em>". This parallel language structure projects an image of hell as enormous, daunting and dangerous, which it rightly is. But with the choice of words that he employs, he was able to instill a sense of fear in his listeners. This word is so effective as it <em>presents an image of hell as something that is open wide, welcoming them for an eternal life of suffering</em>. He verbally perfects showing an image that will frighten them and make then turn away from their sins.
