Mystery Babylon is symbolic of "the flesh" and the mind of the flesh, (the evil one) with all of the evil and lustful ways thereof. It will one day be burnt to the ground. When the soul is torn from the body, and one finds himself caught up to the third heaven, and when the heart is removed for that final circumcision by the Great High Priest after the order of Melchizedek; then does the same one suddenly realize why he should have given heed to the commandment to rehearse that Great Day of Atonement, (Yom Kippur) by afflicting his own soul; for there is no greater tribulation than this final hour. Pray that you may be found worthy to stand before the Son of man in that day, (upon a sea of glass having been mingled with fire). In other words; I would not worry about leaving America so much as that day when you are called up, (and out of your chambers) into a meeting of the Lord in the air.guysmith said:Revelation 18:4 states that believer should come away from Babylon to avoid being affected by her demise.
- If you believe that Babylon is America are you planning to leave?
- If so, where is a good place to go?
- When is a good time to leave?
Hello Arnie,Arnie Manitoba said:Identifying Babylon is not easy for us (at least not right now)
A few attributes of Babylon could be assigned to America
But revelation 18 calls it a city several times (not a country)

But what about the numerous attributes of Babylon that simply do not fit Jerusalemveteran said:Hang around. When you see the unbelieving Jews in Jerusalem build their new temple, and the abomination idol setup in it requiring all to worship it along with the appearance of the pseudo-Christ in Jerusalem, then you'll know why Christ referred the Revelation Babylon to Jerusalem for the end prior to His coming.
Those who keep coming up with some other place for the Rev.17-18 Babylon simply reveal they haven't done their Old Testament study like they were supposed to. Apostle Peter told us to also be mindful of what the holy prophets wrote (2 Pet.3).Arnie Manitoba said:But what about the numerous attributes of Babylon that simply do not fit Jerusalem
Every author on this subject has always had a bias for some "pet" Babylon theory and exclude all the evidence that points away from their "pet" theory.

Mystery Babylon the Mother of harlots is a city on seven mountains.John S said:America is NOT Babylon.
Babylon is a city that sits on 7 hills. Rome, Italy, where many Christians were martyred, sits on 7 hills.
There is no Pre-Trib Rapture. No one is going anywhere.
Pray that you can detect Satan's protege when he arrives and that you don't fall under his influence - even if it means physical death.
