..........Scriptural facts.......Rev.17:18 "And the woman which thou sawest is that [GREAT CITY], which reigneth over the kings of the earth" Proof positive "the great city" is alive & kickin' @ the end of days...How else could it possibly reign over the kings of the earth...? WE also know Babylon is not completely destroyed until...Rev.18:2 "And he cried with a strong voice,saying, Babylon the great is Fallen,is Fallen,(double fall...then why is it repeated)...? And is become the habitation of devils, and of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. And Is.21:9 "And, behold, here cometh a a chariot of men,with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said,Babylon is fallen,is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken into the ground"...& Jer.51:8 "Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed." HUH...? "SHE MAY BE HEALED"...
