I guess one perspective on the scripture you quoted would depend on who you believe her is?

If you don't know what "Babylon" is, then you're correct.
EVERYONE has the right to be ignorant. But they shouldn't abuse it.

To All,
The creators of Superman were smart enough to perceive the city in which Clark Kent worked, and the name of the newspaper. If only the church were as intelligent.

The Babylonian Empire was “the first true metropolis in western history, a business as well as an administrative center”[1] -- the prototype of governments as we see them to this day. The Babylonians controlled trade and commerce across western Asia, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf, building highways, legislating business, and beautifying the capital.[2]

One thing for sure is that Babylon is not the cities in California as your overactive imagination has suggested.
What's next?

I once heard that Noah tied his ass to a tree and walked forty miles, should that make skin the most elastic substance in the universe?
Very simply Giuliano let him stock up on his bread/food while we work on the more important things:
"But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Matt 4:4

If you really believe this way, there is still a way out. It is called Love.People are typically not "deluded". -- They're simply DISOBEDIENT.
And there is ALWAYS a price to be paid for being DISOBEDIENT!
Luke 22:35 And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” 36 He said to them, “But now, let him who has a purse take it, and likewise a bag. And let him who has no sword sell his mantle and buy one.

Obedience to what? Thinking that the city of Babylon means the cities in California and that people need to "come out" of them?"Love" doesn't replace OBEDIENCE. BOTH are required.

You are reading a book and trying to escape cities in California. That's not keeping the sayings in the book. People hear a voice from heaven telling them to come out. If people cannot hear the heavenly voice, I doubt if they can come out of Mystery Babylon. God's people hear and then obey.NO! You don't need to come out of Mystery Babylon. STAY! It'll be fun!

Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

I have NO IDEA why your fixation with Southern California. There are NO PLAGUES in Southern California, and NOTHING to worry about. EVERYTHING is FINE!
And the same for other major cities! So stay where you are and be happy ...
A CORRECTED VERSION, JUST FOR YOU:
Rev. 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,
-- DON'T -- “Come out of her, my people,
lest you take part in her sins,
lest you share in her plagues;
lest you take part in her sins,
lest you share in her plagues;
Whew,

You were the person talking about California, not me. Has it occurred to you that maybe I already came out of Babylon?
It is God we are to obey. There is only one God and it is to Him we owe our obedience, not to you, nor to your interpretation of what is written in scripture. His sheep hear His voice and thus are able to understand and, yes, to obey without any human intercessor."Love" doesn't replace OBEDIENCE. BOTH are required.

Salvation does not come by Superman, nor by those who wrote the stories about him, nor by their intelligence, nor by your intelligence. Lean on your own brain if you will, but don't be surprised if you miss the Way to God in spite very careful planning and stockpiling of material food and goods. Jesus did provide a better Way:
"O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Jerem 10:23
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
Babylon was and is confusion.
"For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints." I Cor 14:33

If you're a hermit, you don't show it. Maybe you should also give up your computer ...

Simple question. Do you have a "SWORD" ( - understood to be a weapon, typically a firearm - )?

You have no clue. You can surmise, you can guess, you can postulate, -- but you don't know, and you don't want to know. SO DON'T!
