The Two Babylons was a religious pamphlet initially produced by the Scottish theologian Alexander Hislop in 1853, later expanded in 1858 and finally created as a book in 1919.

 The Two Babylons: Christmas and Lady-day
That mistletoe bough in the Druidic superstition, which, as we have seen, was derived from Babylon, was a representation of the Messiah, "The man the branch." The mistletoe was regarded as a divine branch *--a branch that came from heaven, and grew upon a tree that sprung out of the earth.
Babylon was, at that time, the centre of the civilised world; and thus Paganism, corrupting the Divine symbol as it ever has done, had opportunities of sending forth its debased counterfeit of the truth to all the ends of the earth, through the Mysteries that were affiliated with the great central system in Babylon.
Finally, the monuments of Babylon show that the goose possessed a like mystic character in Chaldea, and that it was offered in sacrifice there, as well as in Rome or Egypt, for there the priest is seen with the goose in the one hand, and his sacrificing knife in the other.

 THE TWO BABYLONS
The second Babylon, is the beast empire, it emerges from the Euphrates region and has the characteristics of the old Babylonian, Persian and Greek Seleucid empires.(13: 1-7) It oppressed both Israel and the saints (6th trumpet) and is judged in the 6th vial.
Babylon was situated on the Euphrates and traded her wealth, similarly Jerusalem should have dispensed her wealth — living waters, but she had become a source of poison.
Babylon became therefore a symbol for apostasy and persecution and it is fitting that it is a pseudonym for both Jerusalem and Rome.

 Chapter 01   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
In leading proof of the Babylonian character of the Papal Church the first point to which I solicit the reader's attention, is the character of MYSTERY which attaches alike to the modern Roman and the ancient Babylonian systems.

 The Two Babylons: Table of Contents
Hislop's work has lately been questioned, most notably by Ralph Woodrow's book "The Babylon Connection" (excerpts at http://users.clarkston.com./rcorson/2babylons.htm).
I have read that particular book and find it unconvincing and confusing in its own right and still feel that "The Two Babylons'" inclusion on this website is warranted as a scholarly work delving into the area of error within the church (wherever it's found and from wherever it came— ultimately IS Babylon).
You will not get too far in your research of church history without coming across references to this book and that is the reason we have included it here— a reference work not as something to be used to beat someone else over the head with (like some use the Bible itself).
