Well said.
Quoting: Darth Sillious Do I agree with Jack that mystery babylon is literal babylon? No. Why would God call Babylon mystery babylon? Because it is not the physical city Babylon - IMHO.. But I value Jack's work and he methodically gives scriptural evidence for all of his articles. In this one - he disputes the fact that many say New York City is mystery babylon and logically debunks it. He concludes: Babylon Re-born As I indicated earlier, Saddam Hussein spent millions restoring ancient Babylon into a ceremonial city, perhaps unknowingly preparing it for its final role in world events. Since the Lord is committed to doing all that He’s promised (Isaiah 46:8-11), when the time is right the basket symbolizing the world’s wickedness will be set in the place prepared for it on the plains of Shinar. And then the ancient City of Babylon will once again become the world headquarters for the three great evils of mankind’s design: Government which enslaves men politically; Commerce which enslaves us economically; and Religion which enslaves us spiritually. Does the City of New York deserve to be judged? Absolutely, along with the rest of America, and most of the world for that matter. But is New York the Mystery Babylon of Rev. 17-18? I hope this article has persuaded you otherwise. But to be sure, become a Berean and search the Scriptures daily to see whether these things be true. (Acts 17:11) 05-16-04 Some people say the woman in the basket is returning to it's origins - the tower of babel. From Christianbiblereference: In ancient times, people thought the heavens were not far above the earth. If only they could build a tower to the sky, they could climb up and be like gods themselves. Mankind had once again lost sight of God and become arrogant and self-sufficient. God, of course, saw this as pure arrogance. He put an end to the people's delusions of being powerful and important like gods. We may be tempted to think we no longer need to trust and obey God. We may believe our learning, sophistication and technology are all we need to be self-sufficient and guarantee our security. The lesson of the Tower of Babel is that such self-sufficiency is a delusion. History has shown that many nations and their leaders have fallen into the trap of arrogance and self sufficiency. Like Babel, those nations have eventually ended up in ruins. Shinar is where rebellion started and it could very well be where it ends: An astounding event at the Tower of Babel over 4,000 years ago made language translation necessary today. The History Book of the Universe records a remarkable series of events. Noah’s family disembarked from the Ark after the Great Flood (Genesis 6:1-9:19) around 2500 BC. God clearly instructed Noah and his sons to “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.” (Genesis 9:1,7) Did Noah’s descendants listen to God? No, the clan settled on the plain of Shinar. They made no attempt to spread out and fill the earth. On the contrary, they stuck together to build a Tower, defying God’s order to re-populate the earth. Yahweh therefore confused the language of the Tower builders to force them to scatter across the face of the earth (Genesis 11:1-9).

Could this be the world's wickedness returning that the basket represents?? There are 2 young Jewish boys who had visions about this saying - these nations unite and attack Israel: [ link to jewishandchristiannews.wordpress.com (secure)] Another thing that I've entertained, and of course I'm only speculating is: We see Islam's tentacles now spreading throughout Europe and the USA. I've never believed Islam was mystery babylon; but at this point have to consider it very well might be - albeit, with reservations. Mystery Babylon is destroyed by the antichrist before the New World order can become a reality. It's obvious - because she now controls the beast. The gog magog war stage is being set - and at it's conclusion God will pretty much decimate muslims i.e. Islam....
