I will stick to observing what is happening and going by what I see from the Bible. Mystery Babylon really corresponds to virtually all cities of civilization. Destruction involves destructive activities to this earth, which we who would be Yahweh God's people should avoid involvement with, those continuing with that involvement with no repentance to turn from that involvement will face God's judgment (
Revelation 11:18).
I see from prophecy, myself, from what Jesus foresaw, with world trends now that he would know about, that world crisis is coming soon, with changes to the environments and climates and resources around us, with what we with our civilization are doing. As long as we continue, we have responsibility in that with our choices. But there are great changes that are needed, that we can come to, that it won't be worse. We are wrong if we say it doesn't matter because we won't be here to see that. God does not promise that. We will see some of such trouble, more or less, with still being with our civilization. We believers are just removed from seeing coming judgment.
All these cities of civilization are in line for that doom of it falling and coming to destruction. The prophesied beast's kingdom will be his gathering of what remains for the last attempt for civilization to have it continue, while still in rebellion against God, with having that which would be put in place of God.
In the end times, Jesus will return in victory over all that, against all those that would fight against him. Though deception is widespread with the wickedness with rebellion against God, Jesus Christ wins, defeating those coming against him in rebellion, and there is victory for all those faithful trusting him, his saints, who will see the bliss with him forever for which everything was worthwhile.
