What City Today is Mystery Babylon the Great?

This article and more are now available on our new website:

“Elohim’s Perspective“.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In the book of Revelation specifically in chapter 17, we have the description of a harlot woman riding on a scarlet beast.  The scriptures go on to say that her name is “Mystery Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth”.   In verse 19 her identity is defined even further by describing her as “that great city who reigns over all the kings of the earth”. 

Thus, the harlot which is called Mystery Babylon the Great is “that great city”.

What goes on in this great city?  Well, Revelation 17:6 states that she is drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Yeshua.  Revelation 18:3, 9-24 details her destruction while at the same time giving us a retrospect about what it was like being with this city.  The kings and merchants of the earth had waxed rich through the abundances of her delicacies. 

This harlot city will be a place of severe suppression of the saints and prophets of Yeshua while at the same time acting as the centralized hub for worldwide commerce and earthly wealth.  We will see benevolence on the surface to those who follow her way but underneath we will see the viciousness towards those who are Yeshua’s people. These two aspects will be the telltale activities to watch for regarding the identity of this harlot city.

Eventually, she is burned with fire by the hatred of the scarlet beast and its ten (10) horns that she rides (Revelation 17:16).

Clearly, Mystery Babylon the Great will be a city of great influence during the tribulation.  She may be a mystery for now, but can we know which city will become this harlot sitting upon the scarlet beast and is drunk with the blood of the saints?

There are some pieces of evidence coming forth now that are giving us a clearer idea of which city this will be.  It could very well be London, England.

Let’s check out these pieces of evidence and find out if this could be strongly probable.

ONE -We’ll begin with the harlot city’s name:  Mystery Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth. 

The scriptures have already described to us that the harlotry of this city is to be the centralized location of worldwide commerce and wealth.  Do we see that currently in our day and time?  Yes we do.  That would be London, England.  Just do an Internet search to find out which city is the world leader in commerce.  New York City and London both are considered to be the top ranking locations for worldwide commerce.  But there is something special about London.  Long before New York City was a city of importance, the idea of establishing a stock market trading center took place in London.  Once it began operations and was shown to be extremely successful, other countries followed suit – especially those in Britain’s Commonwealth domain.  Eventually, New York City became a harlot city as well.

The point is this, London fulfills the description here of being the Mother of Harlots because worldwide commerce originated and continues in London, and has branched out worldwide to other cities.   

TWO -Mystery Babylon the Great is also the Mother of Abominations of the Earth.  Abominations are things that Elohim detests.  What are those things?  Here is a list:

Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

The actions and the person(s) committing these actions are out-rightly judged as abominations to Elohim.

Again, London has a much longer history as a city than any of the other world commerce centers and each of these seven descriptions from Proverbs 6 easily describe London.

Three –She is “that great city that reigns over all the kings of the earth”.  London is the city that is the central hub of a worldwide Commonwealth of 54 nations.  Nations today voluntarily are part of the Commonwealth, but there is a protocol to follow to be a member. Thus the sun still does not set on what had formerly been the British Empire but is now the Commonwealth of Nations.  London’s influence remains even though a number of nations have left the Commonwealth during Queen Elizabeth’s reign and will only grow as London takes center stage in world events.  It’s interesting to note that all world leaders pay a visit to Buckingham palace during their tenures as leaders, including Russia and China.

The point is this: as the hub of a worldwide group of nations that will grow from its current 54 nation base, this is another clue that identifies London as the city that reigns over all the kings of the earth.

FOUR –In the Fall of 2022 there was a world leader’s climate conference held on the Sinai Peninsula called COP27.  This conference had multiple agenda’s to be ratified but the one that caught the most attention was the call to all religions of the world to unite together in one accord and preach about the urgency for mankind to repent for the sins of polluting the earth.   Many inter-faith groups climbed to the top of the Egyptian Mt. Sinai to proclaim their desire to do this.  Mock tablets representing the 10 Commandments were smashed and a declaration was read letting people know that this event was happening on 10 different mountains worldwide CULMINATING with a special reading of a new set of climate change ten commandments in London, England.  At the same time, during this reading on the Egyptian Mt. Sinai, it was recalled that these climate change ten commandments were first initiated in 2009 at WINDSOR CASTLE with Prince Philip. They are called the Windsor Commitments.

The point is this; the centralization of organizing the world religions has begun with the orchestration of this eminating specifically from London via a new all-faith religious center set to open in the heart of London in 2023 called CoExist House.  Could this be the clay of the image that Nebuchadnezzar dreamt would be intermingled with iron? 

FIVE –the coat of arms for the city of London is that of two dragons holding a knights shield with the St. George’s cross inscribed with the Latin words “Domine Dirige Nos” meaning “Master, Guide Us”. Isn’t that the usual purpose of a rider, to guide the animal being riden – such as the harlot on the beast? The image of a dragon clutching a heraldic shield is also being used as ornamental boundary markers at points of entry into London.  The association of two dragons representing London connects this city with the scarlet beast of Revelation 17.  This beast is a merging of the Revelation 13 beast from the sea with the Revelation 12 red dragon. (see article “Understanding the Prophetic Beasts” for details).

As well, the dragon standard called a Draco was used by cavalry battalions of the Roman Empire’s army.  The main standard was the eagle which identified a full legion of warriors but the Draco identified these highly feared warriors on horseback.  Since then, the dragon symbol has been tied to the Roman Empire.  London’s usage of the dragon symbol reflects the regions ties and origins to the Roman Empire of old.  To those who understand prophecy, this symbol also identifies that the Roman Empire has not completely disappeared as have the empires before it.  For centuries, the dragon symbol has been part of each successive attempt to resurrect a form of the Roman Empire.  Prophetically speaking, a final attempt will happen when the events pertaining to the two feet made of iron and clay manifest upon this earth.  The iron has always represented the Roman Empire (based on historical data) while many speculate what the clay represents.  As world events unfold, we are going to see who or what collaborates with the iron of the Roman Empire so we will know who or what is the clay.  Time will tell and it won’t be long now. 

The point is this: Even today, London is showing its colours as a continuance of the Roman Empire with the dragon symbol.  London is the center of the final manifestation of iron feet from Nebuchadnezzar’s dream.  This is giving us a point of reference to watch for with the future inclusion of clay.  As already mentioned, world religious leaders are organizing their peoples to rally under the banner of repenting for climate change. 

Even though there is much division amongst religious leaders pertaining to their beliefs, they are uniting under this one common belief they must step in and do their part with world leaders (who are under London’s influence) in preventing climate change.  This is not a very strong group, but with their influence upon the peoples around the world they could be instrumental in supporting the goals of the Roman Empire/iron portion of the feet.  Could this group be the clay? 

SIX –Queen Elizabeth II reigned for 70 years.  She celebrated this momentous occasion in the spring of 2022 then died months later.  There is a scripture about 70 years like the days of one king…in this case a queen who reigns as a king (in other words, not a queen consort).  A certain city will be forgotten for that period of time but at the end of that 70 years the city will be visited by the LORD and she will return to her prostitute’s wages and commit prostitution with the world. 

Isaiah 23:15-18 “ Now on that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years like the days of one king. At the end of seventy years it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute:

¹⁶ Take your harp, wander around the city,
You forgotten prostitute;
Pluck the strings skillfully, sing many songs,
That you may be remembered.

¹⁷ It will come about at the end of seventy years that the Lord will visit Tyre. Then she will go back to her prostitute’s wages and commit prostitution with all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. ¹⁸ Her profit and her prostitute’s wages will be sacred to the Lord; it will not be stored up or hoarded, but her profit will become sufficient food and magnificent attire for those who dwell in the presence of the Lord.”

Tyre is the city mentioned in these scriptures but this is symbolism of the city in the end times who will become Babylon the Great.  What happened to Tyre will happen to the city that acts like Tyre did.  Tyre was a central hub for commerce and trade and developed other satellite centers in other cities.  Tyre was much like a mother of harlots.  In the end, Tyre went though destruction and is no longer a city of any substance other than a tourist location.   Interestingly, that is what happens to Babylon the Great.  The harlot city is totally destroyed, beginning with the 10 horns of the scarlet dragon and then the final destruction at the hands of our returning Messiah Yeshua.   And interestingly, this is what is now manifesting in the city of London. 

The death of Queen Elizabeth is very recent.  If London is the foretold harlot city of Babylon the Great, have we seen the LORD visit this city yet?  Have we seen this city go back to her prostitute’s wages and such yet?  Have we seen her plucking her harp and singing songs?

We very well could have seen the harlot city plucking her harp and singing songs with the convening of the interfaith organizations on Parliament Hill in London for a climate repentance ceremony. The religious angle of the climate change agenda could well be the first real salvo that openly lays the foundation for the upcoming Great Reset which inaugurates the Fourth Industrial Revolution – a period of time when Mystery Babylon the Great does prostitute herself with the world through commerce and trade.   

As for the other portion of Isaiah 23:17-18 that describes:

• the LORD visiting her;
• the city going back to her prostitute’s wages, etc.;
• the profit from her will be sacred to the LORD;

we have not seen that manifest – yet. 

But clearly, with the religious world opening the door with their climate change repentance events at COP27 and the G20 conference showing their approval for a worldwide digital health ID, plus with the scripture stating that the harlot city rises again as a prostitute at the end of the 70 years, we will see this happen very soon.

But here is a hypothesis about these portions of scripture that may play out;

The LORD visiting ‘Tyre’ (aka the modern equivalent of Tyre).  What will this look like?  As Isaiah 23:17 states, it is after the LORD visits her that she goes back to her prostitution.  Translating that to our current world scenario, the LORD will visit London is such a way so that this city will once again become the dominant city for commerce and trade (harlotry). 

The city going back to her prostitutes wages, etc.  This indicates that commerce and trade will increase for London to the point where it becomes the number one ranking center from which the economy worldwide will revolve.  This is the start up of what will eventually become a city of extreme contrasts of wealth and bloodshed (Revelation 17).

The harlot city’s wages and profit will be sacred to the LORD (Isaiah 23:18).  Why would the LORD want the wages and profit of a harlot city and make it sacred? 

The LORD will be using “her profit to provide sufficient food and magnificent attire for those who dwell in the presence of the LORD.”  So, the profit is for the LORD to give to those who dwell in His presence.  Where will His presence be when He returns?  He will be in Jerusalem and those who dwell in His presence will be dwelling in the city of Jerusalem. 

So, there seems to be a connection between London (as the harlot) and Jerusalem (the receiver of her wages that will be sacred to the LORD).  But why will the LORD want to give this prostitutes profit to those who dwell in the presence of the LORD?

This is where ‘the 70 years like the days of one king’ comes in.

London experienced a period of 70 years as the seat of power for a single reigning monarch who fulfilled the Isaiah 23:15-18 scriptures of ruling for 70 years.  It is a very rare feat for a monarch to reign for such a length of time as 70 years.  Within the history of Great Britain, Queen Elizabeth II has been the only reigning 70 year monarch serving from 1952 to 2022.  She died on September 8, 2022 just months after celebrating her milestone reign. 

During her reign, London diminished as an economic and trading powerhouse and so did the reach of her dominion as various countries exited the Commonwealth.  The main reason for this stemmed from the Second World War which had thrust the United States into that coveted position of world dominance.

But lately, with the political, economic, sovereignty issues and military structures of the world in a new state of constant flux, London seems to be once again rising as a city of great dominance.  This growing rise to dominance is lead by King Charles who is focusing his reign on climate change initiatives.  It seems that now countries are making efforts to once again connect with Great Britain based on these climate change initiatives.

Now that the 70 year reign of the one ‘king’ has ended, we are going to see the other elements of Isaiah 23:17-18 begin to manifest and we will see London become the harlot city that fulfills the description of the Revelation 17 harlot city as Mystery Babylon the Great, Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth.

Her profits will be sacred to the LORD and He will give them to those who dwell with Him – in Jerusalem.  The connection is that Jerusalem experienced a period of 70 years as well.

Jerusalem has been described as a harlot city.  In 2 Chronicles 21:11, 13, Jeremiah 2:20 and Isaiah 1:21 Jerusalem is specifically described as a harlot city for following after all manner of ways that are not of the LORD. 

This resulted in the Southern Kingdom with Jerusalem as its capital city experiencing captivity for 70 years in the Babylonian Empire.  At the end of the 70 years, they were allowed to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple that had been destroyed.  But it didn’t take long for harlotries to resume and The Land was overrun again and again by the various Empires through the centuries. 

Could it be that the LORD is designating the profits of a current harlot city (London) to be given to a former harlot city (Jerusalem) as a reminder to the former harlot city of the redemptive path she has taken to go from being a prostitute to becoming the sacred place for the LORD and His people to dwell?

Time will tell.

There is one further piece that played out in the summer of 2022 which seemed to be an announcement of London’s intentions to be Mystery Babylon.  The opening ceremonies of the Commonwealth Games were a very ritualistic display of flaunting scripture.  The performance involved a massive towering steel bull that was calmed by a special woman with powers who then gets on its back and rides around the stadium.  The bull then shines a light from its chest to a structure at the opposite end that rises up like a tower of Babel.  All this is reminiscent of the harlot riding the scarlet beast.  Every four years the Games are held in various Commonwealth countries and in 2022 they were held in Birmingham, England just an hour and a half from London. The former Prince Charles, who is now King Charles III presided over the ceremonies.   

These are the points in play that seem to indicate that London may very well be the harlot city riding on the scarlet beast.  In the end, the scarlet beast and the 10 horns hate the harlot.  They make her desolate and naked (probable destruction of infrastructure) and will eat her flesh (kill the inhabitants within) and burn her up with fire (reminiscent but more ferocious compared to the great London fire of September 2, 1666).

Here is one more interesting piece of information. According to the timeline of end time events (to be released soon), it has been determined that Yeshua will return on Yom Teruah in the Gregorian year of 2040.  Yom Teruah that year takes place on September 7/8.  Could it be that the great London fire that started on September 2, 1666 could take place again on that date in 2040?  It is the scarlet beast and the 10 horns that make her desolate, etc and this could take place on September 2^nd, just one week before Yeshua’s return when He will make a complete destruction of that city which acts as the capital of the kingdom of hasatan?  Then as He returns, the complete kingdom of hasatan is destroyed, the beast and the false prophet are captured and thrown into the lake of fire while hasatan is thrown into the bottomless pit.

Gone is hasatan’s kingdom upon this world and gone is the influence of his central/capital city, Mystery Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth.  Now we will live in Yeshua’s kingdom with Jerusalem as His city of peace. 

Be well, go well and live well – as Moses admonishes us.
