>>>Lots of smoke so little clarity. The generally presented possibilities for Babylon are: (1) Babylon, (2) Jerusalem, and (3) Rome. I’ve always been drawn to the destruction of Babylon the Great and the ships looking on from afar lamenting the loss of great trade and wealth. Since none of those were seaports, I was always puzzled.<<<

>>>All three had in their times been guilty of the blood of prophets, Jerusalem moreso than the others. But guilty of ALL the blood of the righteous? Hmmmmm. That doesn’t fit any of them.<<<

Jesus said it did. He said Jerusalem was responsible for the blood of all the prophets:

"… the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation." (Luke 11:50-51 KJV)

I mentioned that, and other "blood judgements" when comparing Jerusalem and Babylon the Great in the original article of this thread.

Hi Phillip
Jesup gave parameters to all those prophets he meant. He named the names
The Revelation happened afterwards and in all those years from the time Jesus spoke more were numbered as prophets.
Agabus, for example, was a biblically acknowledged prophet who was outside the time parameters mentioned by Jesus and not among those named by Him
