REVELATION 18:1-3..........
"After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried 1mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”
Chapter 17 dealt with the religious aspect of the Babylon system. Chapter 18 will deal with the political and economic aspects of Babylon.
Jeremiah 13:17-22 and 50:1-3 tell us that ancient Babylon, once destroyed in 536 BC, was never to be rebuilt and resettled.
Isa 13:19-20 says the same thing!
Is Babylon, Iraq, that "great city" of "Babylon" mentioned 5 times in Revelation 18? Will original Babylon rise up again to exist as the leading city of the Antichrist at the End Time? It may not be in the same location as Ancient, but somewhere on the Euphrates river?????
Could there become another city called Babylon or a city somewhere else in the world that is dominated by the Antichrist?
Now, if you do the study and work you will find out that Babylon --- the complete absence of Inhabitants at Babylon has never occurred. ...Therefore, Babylon's FINAL FALL is yet to happen in the Future.

This shows that people were and are living in what was known as Babylon. So, the FAll of Babylon is yet in the future.
THEREFORE...Babylon of Chaldea Must Rise Again
1. On the Date that Babylon is Finally Destroyed, for ever-after there will be no more Photographs at Babylon of Inhabitants, Arab Dwellers, Recycled Stones, Trees and Gardens, Shepherds and Sheep, or Visitors.
2. Yet, in every case, there exists PHOTOGRAPHS. Furthermore, the prophecies of Babylon's "utter destruction" and "complete desolation" have never been fulfilled. (Jer 50:13, 26)
3. Therefore, Babylon of Chaldea, Iraq, must Rise Up to meet that Final Destruction.
Verse #3 says that this city has world wide influence. "FOR", the guilt of sin is here declared to be the foundation of the judgment to come.
"Merchants of the Earth" = Brokers, big business, deal makers, profit takers. There are only TWO things in Iraq that are worth anything-
1. SAND.
2. OIL.
Many scholars are convinced that Papel Rome is in view here and is the great end time city.
That is very possible but there is no way that it is just the Papel system. It would have to include the entire ecumenical apostate church.
Some say that this city is New York. NY is a center of high finance and has the United Nations headquartered there. London is also a financial center. Some also say that this city is Jerusalem Israel. We will see later that this city must be a "Port City" with a harbor for ships.
