Intro

What does the scripture say is Mystery Babylon? There are different interpretations of where mystery Babylon is.

Mystery babylon is Jerusalem?

Luke 13:33 (KJV) Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

The above statement would seems to say that all prophets perish in Jerusalem.

Revelation 18:24 (KJV) And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

This would indicate that Mystery babylon is Jerusalem. Since the scripture cant be broken and it says in that it cannot be that a prophet perish outside of Jerusalem and that in mystery babylon was found the blood of prophets.

Of course there is an alternative way that would explain this. It is that mystery Babylon is a spiritual place.

Mystery babylon is a future city located on the island of Cyprus?

Pergamos is a Turkish Cypriot village in Larnaca District, Cyprus. Pergamos is under the de facto control of Northern Cyprus[1].

Revelation 2:12-13 (KJV) And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

This would indicate that mystery Babylon, if located at satans seat, would be a new city built on the island of Cyprus. (Some would say that its Pergamum in greece but that city is located 26 km from the coast)

Mystery babylon is the catholic church, Rome, the vatican city?

Best source for this is reading alexander hislops book two babylons. There are many things indicating that mystery babylon is the catholic church. Babylon is the city where Daniel was held captive when he refused to bow down to the golden statue. Catholicism is a pagan religion that has many connections to Tammuz and Zoroastrianism. The book of Martys can be read to see what popery, the catholic church and its predeccessors the roman emperors have done to the believers.
