From the book:
The Two Babylons - or
The Papal Worship Proved to be the Worship of Nimrod and His Wife
by the Late Rev. Alexander Hislop
First published as a pamphlet in 1853—greatly expanded in 1858
NOTE BY THE EDITOR
“Had the lamented author been spared to superintend the issue of the Fourth Edition of his work, it is probable he would have felt himself called upon to say something in reference to the political and ecclesiastical events that have occurred since the publication of the last edition. By the authoritative promulgation of the dogma of the Pope’s Infallibility, his argument as to the time of the slaying of the Witnesses, and his identification of the Roman pontiff as the legitimate successor of Belshazzar have been abundantly confirmed.”.
I have the book. A fascinating read.
This will be a fiery thread.

THANK YOU for posting this! <3<3<3
I have the book and read it many years ago. Interesting read.
The influence of Mithras upon Christianity is interesting.
For anyone who actually cares about the truth, there is a fascinating debunking of Hislop published by one of his former believers:
https://www.amazon.com/Babylon-Connection-Ralph-Woodrow/dp/0916938174
Ralph Woodrow was such a devotee of Hislop’s nonsense that he originally published a book pushing it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon_Mystery_Religion
When he realized the truth - that Hislop had no idea of what he was talking about - he published the second book debunking Hislop’s book and his own original book.
At this point, decades later, only uneducated twits believe Hislop.

I read the book over four decades ago.
I had a C-Band satellite dish and Dr Gene Scott recommended it.
