In that day, Babylon was still a physical location on the map of the known world. IMO it was truly a church that was located in Persia/Iran.

I read in Jeremiah recently that Babylon was wiped out by the kings of the Medes and armies from the north and that Babylon would NEVER be inhabited. It had gone the way of Nineveh and Sodom and Gomorrah. So maybe Babylon is Rome?

Jeremiah 51:25 Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain. 26 And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD

37 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.

Jeremiah 50:39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation. 40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.

I understand where you are coming from here. But, isn't it still being lived in for people do indeed live in Iran (Persia) today and dwell near the Euphrates river.
Not trying to be argumentative. Just not sure if this has already happened or is for a future timeframe.
