No it is not Jesus Christ, it is the Antichrist. In Revelation 18:1-5 Jesus says: 1 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily[a] with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”
4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached[b] to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
So it would be impossible to call His people out of Himself, wouldn't it? And surely Jesus could not be full of sins and iniquities!

Ancient Babylon is Iraq. Note that it has been destroyed and rebuilt.

Too tired to answer in depth. So here goes:
No. Currently I have no belief in the existance of any supernatural being/beings that may be referred to as either a god/gods or goddess/goddesses.
Anybody that does, if they want me to believe as they do, need to provide me with evidence. That's how an arguement works. Whoever claims something "is", is responsible for proving that claim. Claiming something "isn't" is not a claim, it's the default.
As of yet, no one has given me a reason to believe in any supernatural power, let alone the volcano god described in the Christian bible.

I believe we are all beings of Pure Light but we don't all know it. Once we know it, we have a duty to live by that new understanding. This is tremendously liberating and enlightening - over time. It is also hard work and difficult at times in the face of popular culture which, predominantly, is ignorant of the fact of our true natures.
