Not according to Rev 11v8 (with Rev 14v8, 17v18) it's not...which clearly states 'the great city' is Jerusalem (which is also called Babylon, Sodom, Egypt and a harlot to describe its spiritual and moral condition under Antichrist during the Great Tribulation when He sits in the Temple (in Jerusalem) claiming that he is God, Dan 9v27, 11v31, 12v1,7, Matt 24v15,21, 2Thess 2v1-12, Rev 13v14-18)
One would have to be suffering from intellectual dishonesty to reject Scripture's own plain words!

I think a big mistake that has occurred in end times prophetic studies today is looking to the past or present world issues and events to determine scriptural meaning. But the Bible defines itself by itself. But I think if you study Old Testament scripture it is abundantly clear that Mystery Babylon is end times Jerusalem.Mystery babylon does not exist today. It is not a present day nation/church/system. It will be established in the end times, just like the antichrist, false prophet etc. will be all in the future. And Jerusalem, during the end times will be it. There is really no other Biblical explanation for it at all. I think from the moment the Antichrsit, who the Jews will receive as their Messiah, comes on the scene and makes his 7 year covenant, Israel will be come the biggest promoter of this man as the Savior of the world and be the center of his worship and deifiication. Thus the whole world will become "drunk" with fornication as they worship the false christ who is centered and operating out of Jerusalem.
