Sorry but chapter 18 says nothing of a “mystery” but speaks of the fall of Babylon.

>>Sorry but chapter 18 says nothing of a “mystery” but speaks of the fall of Babylon.<

Correct. Babylon is called a “mystery” in Rev 17:5. And she is described as a woman with this on her forhead: MYSTERY
BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

And in verse 18 of Rev 17 describes her as “...the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”

Revelation 18 then continues on regarding this subject.

Keep in mind, at no time did I say that the US IS the prostitute. What I said is that as more time passes, she seems to be. Rev 18:11 is especially interesting: “”The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more— “

If this were to happen today, to what nation would this refer?
