The mystical city of "Babylon the Great" is no longer a mystery, for all a person has to do is look at ancient Babylon as its prototype, or "original used as model". So, what was ancient Babylon noted for ? Revelation 18:23 says that Babylon the Great has made a name with "spiritistic practices" ("sorceries", KJV) At Isaiah 47, it says: "Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit down on the ground where there is no throne, O daughter of the Chal·deʹans, for never again will people call you delicate and pampered.......Sit there silently and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chal·deʹans; No more will they call you Mistress of Kingdoms........You trusted in your wickedness.......But calamity will come upon you, and none of your charms will stop it. Go ahead, then, with your spells (Hebrew cheber meaning "a spell" or use of magical power) and your many sorceries (Hebrew kesheph, meaning "magic"), with which you have toiled from your youth........You have grown weary with the multitude of your advisers. Let them stand up now and save you, those who worship the heavens, who gaze at the stars, those giving out knowledge at the new moons (or the zodiac, astrology) about the things that will come upon you."(Isa 47:1, 5, 10-13) And at Jeremiah 51:47, Jeremiah wrote of ancient Babylon: "Therefore look ! the days are coming when I (God, whose name is Jehovah, see Isa 12:2, KJV) will turn my attention to the graven images of Babylon. All her land will be put to shame and all her slain will fall in her midst." Ancient Babylon was filled with false religious idols, graven images. And at Ezekiel 21:18-22, it says of King Nebuchadnezzar (reigned 625-582 B.C.E.) of ancient Babylon, who was deciding whether to attack Rabbah of the Ammonites or Jerusalem: "And the word of Jehovah again came to me, saying: “As for you, son of man, mark out two ways for the sword of the king of Babylon to come.........For the king of Babylon stops to use divination at the fork in the road, where the two roads branch off. He shakes the arrows. He consults his idols; he examines the liver. The divination in his right hand is pointed toward Jerusalem, to set up battering rams, to give the word for slaughter, to sound the battle cry, to set battering rams against the gates, to throw up a siege rampart, to build a siege wall." So, ancient Babylon was a false religious empire within itself, in which Isaiah 46:1 says: "Bel (the principle god of ancient Babylon, and also later called Marduk, and was part of the Sumerian triad of Bel, Anu and Enki) bends down, Neʹbo (after which Nebuchadnezzar was named, and means in Akkadian "O Nebo, Protect the Heir") stoops over. Their idols are loaded on animals, on beasts of burden, like baggage that burdens the weary animals." Of the fertility goddess Ishtar, she was very prominent in Babylonian worship and was found to have had some 180 altars to her alone in the city, and was part of another Babylonian triad or trinity of gods, that of Sin, the moon-god, Shamash, the sun-god and Ishtar, the fertility goddess, showing that ancient Babylon was extremely religious, and is well noted by historians as a center of false religion. Thus, with ancient Babylon being the center of false religion, then this now explains what Babylon the Great is at Revelation chapters 17-19, the false religions of the world, a global empire that encompasses every single religion except for the "one faith" of the true religion (Eph 4:5), and why those of the "one faith" rejoice to see Babylon the Great destroyed, saying: "Praise Jah ! The salvation and the glory and the power belong to our God, because his judgments are true and righteous. For he has executed judgment on the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood of his slaves that is on her hands."(Rev 19:1-3) The "one faith" is the one seen at Isaiah 2:2-4: "In the final part of the days (that began in 1914), the mountain of the house of Jehovah (or true worship of Jehovah) will become firmly established above the top of the mountains (or political governments), and it will be raised up above the hills (or institutions people of the world look up to), and to it all the nations will stream." "And many peoples will go and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will instruct us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For law will go out of (symbolic) Zion, and the word of Jehovah out of (symbolic) Jerusalem." "He will render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they learn war anymore."
Mr. Sherlock Holmes, you need to clearly identify the great city (Babylon the Great) because there is the commandment from God in Rev.18:4 "Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues." So how can we come out from the great city (Babylon the Great) if we do not know which city it is ? It is a serious commandment from God. If we do not come out from that great city we will be destroyed together with Babylon the Great. Because you are teaching about the Babylon the Great therefore you made yourself responsible for identification of that great city. So which city is it ? What is the name of that great city which reigns (rules) over the kings of the Earth (political rulers in the world) (Rev.17:18)

Great Video Robert! That Mysterious City that is Prophesied of by Jesus will one day appear in full view and it will be seen at the time we will see that Mystery Man of Sin that is still yet to appear! That Great City will be in existence when the 10 Rulers will be in Existence! That Great City will be seen when we see the Two Witnesses and the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem! So many Events that will be taking place at the Time of that Mystery City being revealed! Cities can be built so quickly these days as we see happen so quickly in the Middle East! One Day all will be seen! There will be People of God living in that City just as Lot lived in Sodom and just before she will be destroyed God will call them out just as Lot was called out! I Love Revelation Chapter 18 as it describes so clearly the Imports of that City and her influence with those Merchants and People!
@@LastDaysDetective Amen Robert, God always calls out His People and Leads them out just Prior to Judgment! He removes them so that they are just within Sight of the Judgment!
