...in Babylon [ Peter 5:13]...

The reader is free to interpret 1 Peter 5:13 as Peter writing of the Church in the abandoned and desolate ruins of the literal Babylon OR as Peter's commentary on the state of human affairs in Rome, from which he wrote.

Anyone who is a student of history unless they are invincibly ignorant, know that until
Saddam Hussein there has been a large and thriving Jewish community in Babylon.

There are records of Jewish fundraising in Babylon for the tribes in Judea
during the revolts from 100BCE - 100 CE
