Soon and very soon ....
Just listening to Andy Woods latest sermon on Revelation (chapter 14 from verse 8) and he has started to mention Babylon, it's so interesting where he mentions the commonly held view that chapter 17 is seen as a separate Babylon from chapter 18... That a common view is chapter 17 is a religious system and chapter 18 is a commercial city or system... He reckons both chapters 17 and 18 describe a single literal city of Babylon which will be rebuilt... And to look at the way "City" is used as a literal word in both chapters 17 and 18... Even the last verse of 17 interprets Babylon as the great city, literal...
Woods reckons chapter 17 highlights the religious side of the city, and 18 highlights the commercial side of the city, and that the city itself is, for example, like the Vatican which is both a literal place and HQ of a religious system. The literal city Babylon will be destroyed in bowl judgement number 7...
Very very interesting...
