Babylon is Jerusalem:
And say, Hear the word of YAHWEH, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates: Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place. And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath YAHWEH done thus unto this Great City? Jer 22:2, 3, 8
But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the Great City, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our MESSIAH was crucified. Rev 11:2, 8
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that Great City, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. Rev 14:8
And the Great City was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before ELOHIM, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. Rev 16:19
And the woman which thou sawest is that Great City, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. Rev 17:18
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that Great City Babylon, that Mighty City! For in one hour is thy judgment come.
Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. And saying, Alas, alas, that Great City, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this Great City! And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that Great City, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for ELOHIM hath avenged you on her. And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that Great City Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. Rev 18:10, 16, 17-21
The Bible is so simple and plain but most do not get it. The word Babylon originated from the word Babel which means confusion in Hebrew. Jerusalem is known as the most worshipped or holy city in the world by three major religions Judaic, Christians and Islam. This city have at it site the Catholic, Orthodox, Armenian, and Coptic all together supposedly at the place they think is where YASHUA was crucified. It is known for it trades from the Sea and it the only place that has killed the prophet and apostles. The Catholic own enormous amount of real estate and she has for centuries wanted to rule this city. Read your history books about the Crusades. The last one is truly strange but prophecies must be fulfilled. Jerusalem was controlled by the Catholic but the Muslim won it back. King Richard Lionheart had a plan that was debunk by the Turks. The Great Muslim Saladin used a scorched earth strategy, and denied supplies of water into Jerusalem and King Richard had to abandon his well thought of plans to besiege the holy city. However, Saladin and King Richard was able to negotiate a treaty that gave Christian pilgrims special rights in Jerusalem. It was during WWI when the Ottoman Empire had fallen when Britian controlled Palestine and finally after WWII 1948 Zionist Israelis or European known as Ashkenazi Caucasian Jews took over Jerusalem. However the pack was made back during King Richard and Saladin that the Papacy had stake in this land!
Now here is another proof because the New Jerusalem is also known as that GREAT CITY that will never be destroyed.
And he carried me away in the spirit to a Great and High Mountain, and shewed me that GREAT CITY, the HOLY Jerusalem, descending out of Heaven from ELOHIM, Rev 21:10
