The Papacy is the IMAGE of the Beast, which final parts, the legs, feet and toes came from ROME in some fashion. For example the western leg was the Roman Empire till 475 ish, and so was the Eastern leg, set up by Constantine. Which fiannaly turned into the Ottoman Empire.

@droptozro Most biblical historians see to place the writing of Revelation by John on Patmos Island at about 90 A.D, which would be in the aftermath of the horrible destruction of Jerusalem. But imagine this for moment. This is sort of exciting as a "place your bets" interpretation contest. If we are living in the end of this era, and Mystery Babylon will be REVEALED (as in a Revelation) We are ALL going to SEE just exactly WHO Mystery Babylon is! My bet is on Rome and the Vatican. Lets' SEE!

If the bible is the word of god, how come he couldn't be a little clearer about what he's talking about?

Revelation" the epithome of biblical nonsense.

@WillSee11 Fantasy,man, nothing but fantasy.

@droptozro I have to say that my attention to the long list of atrocities committed by the Roman Catholic Church for almost 2,000 years was re-awakened recently as I began to investigate things like the JFK, MLK, RFK and even Lincoln assassinations. The truth is that we often think of the "Spanish Inquisition" and the Borgia days as in the past, but the Whore of Babylon is actually far more dangerous today than ever before. This will become more obvious in the near future as it is exposed.

Haha yeah. I spoke about this issue with my fellowship today, got some good answers and responses to my questions. They're still looking into it, but some may have answers-for one, the "prophets" doesn't HAVE to mean the OT prophets-it could mean the new ones(Eph 4:11). I got an answer for the fact that the "beast" behind it could still be either one--since the beast is what "isn't" not the city(Rev 17:11). Rome definitely fits the platter, I just don't want to be hasty. God bless

"Rome...center of western civil...Jerusalem was virtually in ruins until recently."

I agree with this statement completely, but that does not fit the prophecy from Revelation 17:8. The issue is, can we know for certainty when Revelation was written? Because if it was truly written after 70AD... then I believe this perfectly fits Jerusalem, they were, are not, and will be(the beast behind it). If it were Rome at that time, then they would still "be" a power. That doesn't fit.

@WillSee11

I agree that Jerusalem will be restored--agree with pretty much everything you stated, I'm seriously still trying to figure this one out. I at first gulped this down so easily thinking it was the RCC--but, I need an answer to Revelation 18:24... it clearly says the "blood of the...prophets was found in her"---how could that possibly be Rome? If you could explain this from that position I could look into it--I just don't see how that can be any city but Jerusalem.

[WillSee11]

I think most of this confusion resulting form claims that Jerusalem is the "Mystery Babylon" instead of Rome and the RCC is coming from our "friends" in Rome, because the Word of God so aptly identifies them as the Whore. Though Jerusalem did shed the blood of saints, so has Rome where Paul and Peter were martyred. Some claim Rome has murdered MILLIONS. Rome has been the center of western civilization since then, Jerusalem was virtually in ruins until recently. Jerusalem just doesn't fit.

@droptozro Well there is no question that Jerusalem is often mentioned in both New and Old testaments as being both the City of the Great King and the Joy of the whole earth in psalm 48, and as a city in apostasy and unbelief in Luke 13;34. But Jerusalem is not the same city described in Revelation 13,17, and 18 as Mystery Babylon. (nor actually mentioned in Rev. 11;8) Mystery Babylon will be forever burned and destroyed. Jerusalem will be restored. This is consistent throughout the Bible.
