There are 2 “Babylon” mentioned in the Bible. The “literal Babylon” and the ” symbolic Babylon” which is called the “Mystery Babylon”. What do you believe about it? Is there anyone here who believes that it is the Vatican City?

The reformers believed the Papacy was the Antichrist.

Yes, it’s the RCC

Those are the best two resources i know of that will help explain.

Its a type of the sin city. Human power under Satan’s sway. But often serving God’s purpose of judgement.

Mystery babylon is the trinity catholic church
Mystery because nobody can explain the trinity -
Luther had the tendency to cansider the Catholic chuch as a Babylon. But Bablyon is more a type of human evil than anything else.

No. Mystery Babylon is harlot Israel who turned her back to God for the last time after she crucified her God and Messiah, and then went after His lambs, persecuting believers to death. Her judgment is documented in the book of Revelation while some prophecies are recorded in Mat 23:34-39 and 1 Thes. 2:14-16, while some of the parables that Jesus taught were set against rebellious Israel (Mat 22:1-14 comes to mind also).

To simplify for you, the beasts in the Bible usually represent the repressive empires like for example Rome was represented by a beast with teeth of iron in the book of Daniel
-
Mystery Babylon is the Papal system.
-
anyone who believes the Catholic church is babylon is probably in a cult. just saying.

Doreen ….The Two Babylons in PDF … This book will blow your mind !

It was Jerusalem and it fell in 70AD.
-
Babylon is the nation Israel.
-
i believe it is talking about the worlds system & it’s sin filled ways of doing things & the power of darkness that controls it.

Obviously it is Catholic priest openly letting Gay marriage taking place inside churches..

Babylon is an antichristian mindset. It includes islam, RCC, modern Judaism, wall street, Hollywood, etc.
You gotta compromise to take part. -
Political sectarian Xtianity and their corrupting of the powers that be. In the reformation a mother gave birth to many daughters. These together then separated church and state. Now a secular beast is raised up. They will burn the harlots and their mother. The prophecy of Habakkuk explains it. Tis the little book “open” in the hand of the Revelation 10 angel.

The ultimate thing is be sure that you are truly saved for you to see what will happen in the future after rapture. The best seat to view is in the balcony…that’ s in heaven. We are now on
church age➡Rapture➡Tribulation➡Millenium ➡Eternity. And of course, may we not forget to tell others about Jesus Christ our Lord God and Saviour. -
I don’t believe it is the Vatican. If I had to make a guess, I would say the United Nations is more likely.

I read a interesting article about this
It claimed it was the USA and that the prostitute on deep harbors was the status of liberty. It was originally commissioned to be a tribute to the god of fertility isis.
Remember John who peened it had to discribe it in his best way. He was familiar with the statue as the Greek were still worshiping idols -
We have to look at all the possibilities, because we know it has to be something.
So far, it’s the most compelling.

Look at verse 18 the great city is Jerusalem Israel and rome were attaching the church together
-
Las Vegas may be not Vatican.
-

-
Could be several places and Vatican is a heavy candidate
