Identity of Babylon

The ancient city of Babylon in Mesopotamia, has the meaning, “confusion.”

Because there were so many idols in Babylon, it was enough to be called the home for gods. Babylon was the corrupt city where adultery conducted in temples diffused among people.

As the various kinds of idolatry performed in Babylon were detestable to God, the Bible calls the group standing against God also as “Babylon.”

So, when we have an understanding regarding idolatry performed in Babylon in the past, we can clearly find out the identity of the spiritual Babylon that now prospers.
