Russ, you make a convincing argument about Babylon's location, I have never heard that perspective before - much to consider. Thank you!

Dear brother Russ Having a great passion for bible prophecy ever since I came to Christ way back in the 60’s, I’ve been listening to some of your teachings on the book of Revelation. I was curious and a bit surprised about your feeling that Babylon the Great was Jerusalem. I myself for years was puzzled and about this woman, who she was. I read and studied all the interpretations. I did my own studies, and yet I was frustrated that I could not come up with an adequate, simple interpretation that I could be satisfied with. But finally in 2000, as I sat down once again to study chapters 17 & 18 of the last book of the Bible, I got a revelation. And I put it on the internet: http://babylonthegreat.ldministries.net/ Since Babylon the Great was around in John’s day ridding on the 6th head of the seven headed beast that was; and since the five previous heads that had already fallen, were under her burden; and I’m assuming you believe that she is still alive and well established to this day ruling over the kings of the earth, and seducing the nations…so you believe she’s Jerusalem? The ten kings under orders of the AC when he rises up will go out and destroy her. Will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. I agree with you…Babylon under the antichrist will become super satanic. The habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and cage of every unclean and hateful bird. Or it will fall, be destroyed; but a whole new whorish system will be raised up. No longer will the leader of the world bow down to her; no, rather all will bow down to the dragon and the beast; and their idol of the dark 666 order. So as I put forth in my writing online, I believe Babylon is here and well, and ruling, and is great, very great! But when the end time leader rises up he will destroy this present Babylonish system only to form and even more whorish, demonic infested one. Love your teachings on the spiritual realm. Jude 2 David
