Babylon of the bible.?

Could be.  I would say that the Babylon in Rev 18 is a country.  The harlot in Rev 17 I would think is the one world religion but her name also is mystery bablyon the great mother of harlots ect.\nThis also becomes interesting as the Catholic Church claims to worship the same God as Islam.  The majority of the world religions could be brought in under the Pope as a world leader.  But we are speculating.\nYou are already under instructions to come out of any false religion right now.  \nGal 1:9  As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Read the book of Revelations with a concordance. There's mentions of "the dragon of the East". And there's referrences of Assyrian armies attacking Israel. All in all, it's not a pretty picture for the future of our world.

God "told" it to the Jews in Babylonian captivity during the Exile.  It is a creation account that uses the Babylonian creation myth--Enuma Elish--as its beginning point but reveals a more transcendent God who alone is Divine.

HAD EXCELLENT STUDY TODAY ABOUT THIS, IT SAID TO GET OUT OF HER, UNLESS YOU WISH TO END UP THE WAY FALSE RELIGION WILL END UP.  ALSO I AM NOT INVOLVED IN BABYLON THE GREAT, EXCEPT TO TELL OTHERS THAT IT IS GOING TO BE DESTROYED.\n\nThis harlot takes her name from ancient Babylon, the proud city established in Mesopotamia more than 4,000 years ago by Nimrod, the “mighty hunter in opposition to Jehovah.” When the Babylonians started to build a pagan religious tower, Jehovah confused their language and scattered them to the ends of the earth. They took their religion with them, and that is how a world empire of Babylonish religion got started. Truly, it is Babylon THE GREAT. (Genesis 10:8-10; 11:1-9) Down to our time, the mysteries of ancient Babylon are reflected in the beliefs and practices of the world’s religions. (Revelation 17:7) The Hebrew name for the city, Babel, means “Confusion,” a fitting label for today’s hodgepodge of false religion!\n\nAncient Babylon became a pile of rubble—uninhabited except for reptiles and wild beasts—exactly as foretold!  \nHowever, that other Babylon, modern-day Babylon the Great, lives on. As the world empire of false religion, she perpetuates the original Babylon’s teachings and haughty spirit. She is Satan’s chief instrument for blinding the people to God's  Kingdom purposes

I agree with you. the bible has a very seedy background and its a damn shame that christians refuse to question where thier bibles came from.

Actually, you come very close!  I suggest an excellent book, "Idioms of the Bible", the author's name is beyond me for now.  It was created by  a Bible scholar who is very familiar with both modern and ancient Hebrew and Aramaic, and has done some wonderful research in various areas relating to the Bible and religion.

Babylon was an ancient city-state (a country the size and shape of a city) in modern-day Iraq, close to the Persian Gulf... :)

The Hebrew text of the Old Testament does not necessitate that **all** animals on earth were wiped out by a global flood.\n\nThe terms used in the text are consistent with a local/ regional flood and that the animals that were saved on the ark were ones that were relevant to the local ecology (that Noah and his family lived in).\n\nCordially,\nJohn\nhttp://www.GodSci.org\n[God and Science]
