In this posting, I’m going to present two sides of the great debate of the identification of Revelation’s MYSTERY BABYLON. The first one is probably a little less discussed or even considered, but when the evidence is looked at closely, it becomes a top contender. The second possibility will look at Vatican City in Rome as being a very viable candidate.

It is often assumed by many that The United States of America is MYSTERY BABYLON. But for a few reasons that shall be explored in this posting, I do not believe that it is. In a previous posting, I’ve already shared the reasons why I believe that America displays all of the tell-tale signs that it is none other than the Vineyard in Matthew 21:33-43 (see posting here).
