I guess the whole pagan world is Babylon. The separation is more spiritual and not following the ways of the world, while remaining in and actively witnessing to a decaying world. Peace in Christ .And God says come out of her my people...
Where the heck could we go?

15And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 16And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 17For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. 18And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
9And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10Standing 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.
18And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
This kind of sounds like a place to me. Sounds like a rich superpower that gets wiped out by an alliance against it.
Not quite. Babylon the Great is not the world or "the worldly system." Rather she is New Testament Congregation, the church, who have been a representative of God's kingdom on earth making up of True Believers and Professed Believers. However, she has "BECOME" a home of the devils (false prophets and christs) like Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyers, etc which caused her to become a harlot! That is where God commanded His people to come out of His unfaithful congregation to avoid being deceived and judged by God prior to Second Coming!
Nothing to do with USA, Europe, Wall Street, RCC, Rome, etc!
No it’s not. Babylon was the government imposed idolatry of Nimrod’s Babylon and later Nebuchadnezzar’s. It was banished by the Medes and the Persians because of Daniel and it’s preisthood found refuge in Pergamus and migrated over to to Italy where it was a foundational part of the Roman Republic.And God says come out of her my people...

Abandon the false church and seek where true Jesus is taught and followed
I love when people misinterpret the Great Seal of the United States.
Are you saying that you are totally unaware of the false church that is associated with the false prophet who is partner to the beast ?And what "false church" is anyone supposed to abandon?
To refer to the Church, the body of Christ asNot quite. Babylon the Great is not the world or "the worldly system."

The ten kings of the future Antichrist's empire will destroy with fire what Revelation's "Babylon" represents (Revelation 17:16-17)
1 Peter 5:13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.Isn't Babylon just ancient code for pagan Rome? Why try to apply it to any other nation? I think you lose the historic meaning of the prophecy in doing so.
