Historically Babylon is near Baghdad, Iraq today. Presently it is still uninhabited as it has been ever since it was destroyed around 500 b.c. This full filled the prophecy in Isaiah 14:22-23. Another prophecy about its destruction is Isaiah 13:19-22. In this passage it mentions that Babylon will never again be inhabited. Thus the city in Revelation cannot be the old Babylon, but rather it is pointing to the city of Rome.

babylon mentioned in revelation talks about a religioous power that resemble the empire of babylon.. its a symbol used one of many to identify a last day church that would have a imaaaaaage spiritually and other wise to the apostate nation of babylon as out lined in DANIELS gospel.. . .
too many forget that revelation is mostly symbolic and its written in such away as to confuse those down through time who may of wanted to destroy this book if it openly decared truths they didnt want known,.
with the majority of christian churches todaythey know almost nothing of what the symbols refer too// so many people just not being taught how to distinguish just what is being said,, .
why GUESS when the bible itself can provide u with the answer? ,, , think about it, bro. murray

The later name given to Babel. This city of renown was located along the Euphrates River on the Plains of Shinar approximately 870 km (540 mi) E of Jerusalem and some 80 km (50 mi) S of Baghdad. The ruins of Babylon extend over a vast area in the form of a triangle. Several mounds are scattered over the area. Tell Babil (Mujelibe), in the northern part of the triangle, preserves the ancient name and is located about 10 km (6 mi) NE of Hilla, Iraq.
A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his angel and presented [it] in signs through him to his slave John

Rome. Revelations was written by a hermit named John, not the apostle. He was extremely annoyed at the Roman government at the time. This is why in Jewish numerology that Caesar Nero is 666.

the babylon mentioned in revelations is symbolic of the churches that do not keep the tencommandments and have the everlasting gospel. there is only one church that keeps God ten commandments as God said including the fourth commandment. and is reaching all four corners of the world with the everlasting Gospel. not jews.
