Mystery Babylon

Rev 17:18 And the woman that you saw is the great city which has dominion over the kings of the earth.”

Rev. 18:1 “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!
It has become a dwelling place of demons,
a haunt of every foul spirit,
a haunt of every foul and hateful bird;
3 For all nations have drunk[a] the wine of her impure passion,
and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her,
and the merchants of the earth have grown rich with the wealth of her wantonness.”

Rev 17 & 18 speaks of this great city. Rev 18:24
And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints,
and of all who have been slain on earth.”

Very similar to Rev. 11;8--8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which is allegorically[a] called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified.

Rev. 11:49 Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’ 50 that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation, 51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechari′ah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.

Matthew 23:37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not!

Sad but the great city called Babylon is Jerusalem

Agree or disagree?

Disagree...

"That's an interpretation that goes back 2,000 years...

Disagree. I actually just posted this in another thread:

"Sigh. That's an interpretation that goes back 2,000 years and did not age well. In a sense, you could say the NWO is a spiritual descendant of Rome, but can you really say that Rome fulfills all the following?

-Pollutes her land
-Kills her own people
-Wealthy consumerist nation
-Peoples of the world flow into her (immigration)
-Immigrants come to perform manual labor for her
-Rules over the kings of the Earth
-Deceives the nations with her sorceries (pharmakeia)
-Merchants of the world do commerce with her
-Is God's battleaxe and weapons of war, used by God to lay waste to the nations
-Made the whole world drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication (originator of the sexual revolution, main producer of porn)
-Guilty of the blood of children
-Ascended to the heavens
-Will be destroyed by civil war and then fire
-Contains a large population of Christians whom God tells to flee
-Contains a large population of Jews
-Has a wall which will fall

The Bible has a lot to say about Mystery Babylon. When you combine everything that Revelation, Isaiah, Daniel, Jeremiah say about her, it's obvious we aren't talking about ancient Babylon. It's also not Rome, unless you think Rome is going to rise again to be a world superpower."

I am not saying I agree with your views or disagree. But generally, it comes down to 7 Mountains [Rome] vs 7 hills [Israel]. I would like to add, for the fun of it, what mountains the USA have.

• Great Smoky Mountain Range.
• Green Mountains.
• Longfellow Mountains.
• Blue Ridge Mountains, USA.
• White Mountains.
• Berkshires.
• Hawaii, Oahu [Walanae/Koolau] Mountains

USA technically has 7 Mountain Ranges!

Once you throw out the Holy Spirit inspired identity of "the city, the great one" as Jerusalem (for this indeed was where our dear Lord was crucified), you've gone down the dangerous road of intellectual and spiritual dishonesty...

Blood of the prophets are only found in Jerusalem

Luke 11:50 that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation, 51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechari′ah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary

Woe to you! for you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed.

Completely incorrect.

Look at the context. Jesus is talking about bloodguiltiness. The generation who saw Him are guilty of the blood of all the prophets if they reject His witness.

Are you seriously suggesting that every prophet ever killed literally died in Jerusalem? You are just plainly incorrect. Abel, for instance, who is one of the listed persons in the very verses you quote died before Jerusalem was even established. John died at Patmos. Many other prophets died outside of Jerusalem.

Think before posting please.

I think we are finished if you cant accept scripture
