	Babylon (New Testament) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Babylon was later the nominal seat of a Latin archbishop, of a Chaldean patriarch and of a Syrian archbishop.
		The connection with the actual historical city of Babylon is purely metaphorical, as the connection of "Jerusalem" in the poetry of William Blake can bear no relation to the actual history or geography of the city of Jerusalem.
		Virtually all New Testament scholars believe that "Babylon" is here used as a metaphor or euphemism for the power of the Roman Empire, which was oppressing the nascent church as the Babylonian empire had oppressed the Jewish people in Old Testament times.

	What is the whore of Babylon / mystery Babylon?
		The fact that the whore of Babylon is referred to as a mystery likely means that we cannot be completely certain as to her identity.
		The whore of Babylon will at one time have control over these kings (Revelation 17:18), but at some point the kings will turn on her and destroy her (Revelation 17:16).
		Again, the whore of Babylon is a mystery…but we can be fairly certain about the nature and identity of the great and terrible whore of Babylon.

	Rome or Jerusalem? A Study of the Whore of Babylon in Revelation

	The Whore of Babylon
		In another tract, Hunting the Whore of Babylon, we looked at nine arguments given by fundamentalist Dave Hunt for his claim that the Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon from Revelation 17—18.
		This passage tells us several things about the Whore: (1) She is an international power, since she "sits on many waters," representing different peoples (17:15), and she has committed fornication with "the kings of the earth," and she has inflamed "the dwellers on earth" with her fornication.
		Continuing in chapter 18, John sees the destruction of the Whore, and a number of facts are revealed which also show that she cannot be the Catholic Church.

	Hunting the Whore of Babylon
		Hunt states, "She [the Whore] is clothed in ‘purple and scarlet’ (verse 4), the colors of the Catholic clergy." He then cites the Catholic Encyclopedia to show that bishops wear certain purple vestments and cardinals wear certain red vestments.
		The purple and scarlet of the Whore are contrasted with the white of the New Jerusalem, the Bride of Christ (Rev. 19:8).
		Hunt states that the Whore "has ‘a golden cup [chalice] in her hand, full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.’" This is another reference to Revelation 17:4.

	THE WHORE OF BABYLON - REVELATION
		Scott Hahn in his tapes THE END on the book of Revelation argues for the position, that the Whore of Babylon is not Rome, which persecuted the Catholic Church, but instead is apostate, worldly Jerusalem which rejected the Messiah.
		"On her forehead was written a name, which is a mystery, ‘Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth.’ I saw that the woman was drunk on the blood of the holy ones and on the blood of the witnesses to Jesus.
		And so, the Whore of Babylon is a code name for the corrupt Jerusalem of the 33 - 70 AD time period, upon whom God's judgment fell.

		It is like a city (“Babylon the great”) and it is like a harlot (“the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth”).
		“Babylon the great” is in large part the spirit of materialism (seeking identity and security and stimulation through the acquisition and enjoyment and accumulation of money and things).
		Admit to him that you are thirsty, that the Whore's cup doesn't satisfy—and simply ask him to give you this living water of a love relationship with God.

	The Whore of Babylon?
		Christian Rome did not exist in St. John's day, and throughout this passage the whore is spoken of in present tense, which means she existed at the time St. John penned the Apocalypse.
		The whore is "decked with gold and precious stones and pearls" (vs 4).
		Gold liturgical vessels and utensils have been part of the true religion ever since ancient Israel, and since the Catholic Church is the successor to the Israelite religion, it is not surprising that she, too, would use gold vessels.

	A Woman Rides the Beast - A City on Seven Hills
		The first thing we are told about the woman is that she is a "whore" (Revelation 17:1), that earthly kings "have committed fornication" with her (verse 2), and that "all the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication" (verse 3).
		History is replete with sayings that mocked the church's false claim to celibacy and revealed the truth: "The holiest hermit has his whore" and "Rome has more prostitutes than any other city because she has the most celibates" are examples.
		As for ancient Babylon itself, it wasn't even in existence during the past 2300 years to "reign over the kings of the earth." Babylon lay in ruins while pagan Rome and later Catholic Rome, the new Babylon, was indeed reigning over kings.

	Whore of Babylon
		By contortions of interpretation (not biblical literalism) some groups and individuals equate the Whore in Revelation 17:9 with the Catholic Church since Rome is the famous city of seven hills and the Church's principal See is Rome.
		First, the historical Babylon was the pagan power which persecuted the People of God, the Jews, between 610 and 538 BC, destroying the Temple and dispersing the people.
		The Babylon of John's day, Rome, stands for the kingdom of the future Antichrist and is no more likely to be situated in Italy than Rome needed to be situated in Babylonia (modern Iraq).

		Rome is certainly a humongous catalyst to bringing "her" into a full manifestation, just as the "revival" in non-Catholic circles is another catalyst that will lead to "her" unveiling.
		the whore of Babylon when it is evident that it is a major player in the evolution of this "lady" is not logical nor complimentary to common sense.
		I am certainly not saying in any way this man is to be considered as the false prophet to come, but use it as an example that there most likely are things in the future that could bring forth such a man who could be a major influence on all the religions of the world.

		John's attention is drawn to the inscription boldly emblazoned upon the woman's forehead: 'MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH" (Revelation 17:5) Sadly enough, the Roman Catholic Church fits the description "mother of harlots and abominations" as precisely as she fits the other.
