Jeremiah 51:33 · World English Bible
For Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: “The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time when it is trodden. Yet a little while, and the time of harvest comes for her.”
The daughter of Babylon is the desiring emotion born of the carnal man, and she is brought to the threshing floor where husk is beaten from grain, the moment the spirit within separates what is real in a person from what is only chaff of appetite. Babylon is that outer, fleshly self, and its daughter is the run of cravings it produces; the appointed threshing is the inner sorting that cannot be put off much longer.

ESOTERIC
The daughter of Babylon is the desiring emotion born of the carnal man, and she is brought to the threshing floor where husk is beaten from grain, the moment the spirit within separates what is real in a person from what is only chaff of appetite. Babylon is that outer, fleshly self, and its daughter is the run of cravings it produces; the appointed threshing is the inner sorting that cannot be put off much longer.
The reading is a harvest inside mankind, drawing near. The circular signs pressed into the crops are taken as the light beings' electromagnetic word that this end-time separation of grain from husk has come.
Israel: Isis the spirit joined to Ra the mind and El the god within, the whole awakened self. Babylon: the carnal, outward man ruled by the flesh. Daughter: the desires and cravings of the emotions that the carnal self produces. Threshingfloor: the inner ground where the true grain is beaten free of the husk of appetite.
Esoteric lens
Of everything I wanted today, what was really mine?
Craving is seen clearly and then set down, and what remains is the part of you that was never craving. Nothing is destroyed, it is separated.
Sort what you actually want from what merely passes through you wanting something. The work is telling grain from husk inside your own desires.
The senses pull in every direction, and the steady person learns which pulls to act on and which to let pass. Discernment, not suppression, is the practice.
