Well now! I may have to do some additional study. You are correct at least to a point. Babylon as a city had been destroyed by that time but there seems to be some very strong debate that the Babylon Peter refers to was actually Jerusalem which would make sense because he was the apostle to the Jews.

If, on the other hand, it was indeed Rome it would only reinforce the contention that the RCC represents the “whore” of Revelation. How interesting! Certainly more study on my part will be undertaken. Of course that would only strengthen my resolve to never ever align myself with that organization.

I'm sure you can build an equally weak case for it being Toledo, Tokyo or Timbuktu too, but it wasn't. When you have to work that hard to find an alternative to it being Rome it is more than obvious that your agenda is clouding your judgment.

Peace be with you,
