I don't know what this means, you could say a few other metropolises are as "defiled", e.g. Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Miami Beach, Copenhagen, Tokyo, even Istanbul, Athens, Frankfurt, London, Moscow...

I guess it does.The great city, the whole world crying at the downfall of the great city, the shipping ports, the merchants, (if I am remembering correctly what the verses mention about the city)it does seem to fit.

I believe the UNITED STATES is the New babylon. Not just new York. It's a country, not a city..
It is not the Babylon located in Iraq. During Desert Storm so many books came out saying that Babylon was the answer – this was it and I said absolutely not because I believe the Babylon of Isaiah 18, Jeremiah 50 and 51, Revelation 18 happen to depict the United States of America and you wouldn't understand that now unless you studied on this subject thoroughly. Listen to me, first of all, it is the last of the super powers to come into existence in Jeremiah 50:12. That was 1776. We are some of the latest in history. Baghdad and Iraq has been here for centuries. Secondly, it is a nation of tremendous wealth in Jeremiah 51:7 and that wealth is lost in Revelation 18:10, 17, and 19. Thirdly, it is a nation that has a tremendous amount of missiles and atomic weaponry so that it can shoot into the heavens and use her missiles globally and that is Jeremiah 51:53 and 58. But here is some of the most exhilarating evidence ever Isaiah 18:1. “Woe unto the land shattering with wings which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia.” The symbol of the United States of America is a great eagle with outspread wings. But, John Allen Watson a great geographer sent page after page documenting this and he took the rivers of Ethiopia going southward and found 14 of them and a ocean to be crossed that came out in Oregon and continuing south ward went through Canada and back to Israel and Ethiopia. He proved to me that it was the United States of America.

It does describe New York City, but it is representative of the United States as a whole. The "whore" that Revelation talks about describes the Statue of Liberty, which is a greek goddess of prostitutes. It (the bible) also mentions the seven horn kingdom. There are 7 spikes in the crown of the statue of liberty.

AND THE WOMAN WAS ARRAYED IN PURPLE AND SCARLET COLOUR (the american flag) ........HAVING A GOLDEN CUP IN HER HAND (the torch)

New York hits it on the nose. While there are other cities that seem as bad or perhaps a smidgen worse (extreme porno, drugs, etc) New York is the Power Pulse of the World.
The whole Global Economy is based there..., she controls it all.

No, I believe it is a specific place, a specific religion, and a specific people that is identified as "Babylon the Great"
(Not talking about real Babylon the city, but spiritual Babylon)

Bible scholars can show that Babylon is a code word used for both Jerusalem and Rome.
