Babylon was not only a city, but also a state/nation...not only a religious center but also political, economic...

And Babylon has had one ruler through time..

The physical or spiritual Babylons of todays all have Satan as their god too..
And yup, Jerusalem is in there.. so is Rome, NYC, DC, the list is exhaustive...

The religious, political and economic centers throughout this world are not Messiah led...
And some cities/states/nations claim to be followers of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And they are not..

So, yup, Jerusalem could be considered one in this age too..they certainly seem to think america should have any say in what they should do with their land or neighbors - that is proof enough for me considering I don’t see how America isn’t a Babylonian country in our own right...

Pick any city/state/nation with any religious, political and economic clout in this world today and they are under the control of the god of this world., not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob..

I think I understand your point; but can you provide any scriptural support for you interpretation? I believe the Babylon the Great in the Revelation is a prophetic, poetic narrative of the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.
