Babylon in Revelations

[Raven]

Mystery Babylon
It's the spirit of this world. It began with the fall and manifested itself fully at Babel. It permeates every fiber and intent of the world we live in today. It is found in every powerful government right down to the despot in some little known third world country. It's not Rome, Babel or New York but yet it is all of these. It's the gold, the trade, the markets, the laws, and the lawmakers. It's an intangible force that will wreak havoc and hold civilization in its sway until Christ comes with His elect and destroys it with the brightness of His coming. It has been and will always be anti-christ. Man's feeble attempt to create a lasting kingdom by his own works. Even so come quickly Lord Jesus!

Raven,
could you share how your perspective would make the scriptural witness that this "Mystery Babylon" is:
1. The mother of all harlots
2. Drunk with the blood of the saints and martyrs.

I am just trying to pull some more stuff out of you. I am not positioning for any kind of .

The discussion has turned out to be rather interesting (to me) and I would like to see folks with well established views share them openly.
