Hello Ear, Ron Reese, John and Doves,EAR - I don't recall reading about Mecca as being a possible candidate for Mystery Babylon - you laid out quite the study for this. Thank you for your letter.
fivedoves.com/letters/feb2026/ear27.htmI've written several letters over the years about Mystery Babylon - and just added another for this week's letters.I think not taking the Twelvers seriously will be a big mistake for the U.S./West.For now, I see NYC, US Eastern seaboard as the megalopolsis global world trade power that best fits Mystery Babylon. There are a lot of powerful people/evil groups/and countries wanting to take down the US..there is a lot of hate and jealousy towards the US - with President Trump - not with Biden....and ten powerful people could pay for her destruction. The harlot needs to be knocked off the beast so the Antichrist can take over....And I see the US as the biggest boss running the world - that needs to 'get out of the way'. The Antichrist will need that 'harlot/Beast' attachment ended. Just one of many reasons I lean towards this ID for the harlot.It's a 'mystery' that has kept us looking and studying about her identity for decades.Thank you again for your in depth analysis. Very interesting information about Mecca.I'd like to see Ron Reese's thoughts on Mecca or anyone else's?Maranatha!Chance
