Who is Mystery Babylon?

Mystery Babylon Clue List

In Revelation 17 & 18 John gives us clues as to the identity of Babylon the Great;   Mystery Babylon is symbolized by a "mystical woman" who will be guilty of committing heinous spiritual adulteries and abominations against God during Daniel's 70th week. Her acts are identified as "adulterous" because she has broken her original relationship with God to pursue other "lovers" or idols. In the beginning of Daniel's 70th week, the Antichrist and his beast kingdom will find it necessary to temporarily align with this power-house nation while he develops his own 10-nation end-times empire and gains control of the world.  

Mystery Babylon is symbolized by a "great city." This city is the most wealthy, God-forsaking super power on the face of the earth during the end times. Tragically, she did not begin this way. She was once a "gold cup in the Lord's hand." But over time she has become exceedingly arrogant, woefully independent of God and self-indulgent.   She is so powerful, she is convinced that she will never fall and views herself as "the queen" of the world.

At some point in Daniel's 70 the week, Mystery Babylon will be destroyed by the Antichrist, but not before God calls his saints out of this mystery city. Her complete destruction by fire will occur in a single day.  Revelation 17 and 18, along with Jeremiah 50 and 51 describe the destruction of Babylon at "the day of the Lord."

Biblically, a mystery is a truth that is only known by divine revelation. The identity of Mystery Babylon is a mystery that needs to be solved. We will refer frequently to Jeremiah 50 and 51 which reveals helpful information concerning the identity of Prophetic Babylon and additional clues regarding this key end-times city/nation that rules over the kings of the earth. I believe Mystery Babylon is a super power nation that will exist at the time of Daniel's 70th week and helps pave the way for Antichrist's rise to world power.
