Are you a multiple personality? Who else is the "we". Jerusalem may act like Babylon has (though a city cannot act like anything- only her people) But acting "like" another location, does not warrant a follower of Jesus to declare it is Babylon! Only SCripture can allow us to declare jerusalem is called Babylon in those passages, and it doesn't so neither should we!
And remember that before the Antichrist takes Jerusalem in the mid point of the Tribulation, the seals and six trumpets have happened! He has to have a capitol city somewhere, and the Bible calls it Babylon.

However, based on the links below, earthly Jerusalem is also built on seven hills.
I did not know this until recently.
