The ‘Mystery’ about Babylon, is that as the great city, she bears the title as the ‘capital’ and origin of idolatrous religion. Thus, she has moved about― according to the location of all seven heads (mountains/kingdoms) that the animal-Beast has accumulated during its earthly Biblical history ― as shown in Rev. 17:3.  Mystery Babylon has sat on all seven of the God-opposing heads/kingdoms, as their idolatrous spiritual partner since Babel the ‘first great city’ was built by Nimrod. The city of Babylon continued as the capital of the Assyrian, Babylonian, Media-Persian, Macedon-Grecian, Empires; until Mystery Babylon moved to Rome and then to Constantinople during the ‘divided’ Roman-Byzantine empires, and to Mecca after the Islamic Conquest in the 7th Century, and afterwards when the SUNNI Ottoman Caliphate defeated Constantinople in 1453‒1922 after WWI; and eventually the ISIS Caliphate (when the seventh SUNNI head with the ‘mortal wound’ was healed), and became prominent in our recent history (2014‒2017). 

That is why so many cities have been named via her location. E.g., Babylon, Rome, Constantinople, Berlin, Mecca...  Babylon is a shape-shifting, multi-locating spirit of idolatry (that kills the prophets, saints and martyrs of Yahweh God, and Jesus Christ). She always moves her idolatrous capital in coordination with the successive ruling power/s that oppose Yahweh God. (Jere. 51:47, 52)   She is named Daughter of Babylon in Psalm 137:8; Isaiah 47:1, 5; Jere. 50:42; 51:33; Zech 2:7; thus, Mystery Babylon has produced many harlot daughters, who have spread her idolatrous worship throughout the earth. (Rev. 17:5)

Important facts during her end time location:

Babylon is idolatrous... Isaiah 13:19‒22; 21:9 .... her idols are shattered!

Babylon sits on the seven headed beast...  in the wilderness...  Saudi Arabia

Mecca is surrounded by seven mountains...  where Muslim pilgrims go... to visit the Sirat Range

7 Landmark Mountains of Makkah - Life in Saudi Arabia

Mecca sits on ‘many waters’  Rev. 17:1, 15 that are identified as peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues. (Re almost a third of the earth’s population...   2.8 billion Muslims) 

Babylon/Mecca will be destroyed by the Medes... Elam  (SHIA Iran).  (Jere. 51:11; Isaiah 13:17‒19; and in 21:1‒10 as the wilderness of the Sea;)  SHIA Iran has cause to destroy Babylon/Mecca  because Saudi Arabia trusts and relies on western nations;  and also via Iran’s jealousy over the SUNNI Saudi Monarchy’s guardianship of the two Mosques in Medina and Mecca.

Mecca/Babylon sits far away from a busy merchant harbour...  because the ship-masters watch her smoke standing at a distance... (x 3)  (Rev. 18:9‒10, 15, 17) Port Jeddah is 51 miles by road from Mecca... 

Babylon/Mecca is exceedingly rich from oil revenue...  Thus, John refers to the ‘wine’ of her fornication...  (since oil was unknown in the 1st Century).  It is oil that has been running the nations since the 1930’s!

 

Babylon trades with all the kings of the earth with oil tankers/ships... from Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Port, via Yanbu, in the Red Sea, and from other oil ports in the Persian Gulf. Oil pipe-lines now run east-west across Saudi Arabia to the Red Sea, to avoid the Persian Gulf bottle-neck at the Strait of Hormuz.  Saudi Arabia tries to divert oil to Red Sea amid Iran war, faces reluctant shippers - The Business Times

 

The merchants who became rich, cry over Mystery Babylon’s  destruction...  and their loss of commerce via OIL... is happening now (Rev. 18:11)  IRAN is hitting oil installations, to destroy the world’s economy!!!

Babylon exists in the end time...  as a great Megalopolis...   Mecca is being transformed via a special renovation programme with end-sights set on completion in 2030!

Mystery Babylon‘s idolatrous persona is responsible for the blood of saints (Judah) and martyrs (Christian).  Since the 1st Century – via the Roman and the Byzantine Empires.  Since the Catholic Church Crusades and Inquisitions... and since the 7th Century ‒ via the Islamic Conquest that is well recorded in history... and via the Ottoman Empire and ISIS Caliphates in recent times.

Babylon and the Daughter of Babylon have been prophesied to be destroyed by the Medes... Elam  (Iran)  Jere. 51:6‒14, 27‒44; Isaiah 13:17.   It didn’t happen in 539 BC, when Persia took over Babylon in Chaldea, but SHIA IRAN is likely to hit Mecca (especially if Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham accords for its own protection)!   While Iran is presently flailing missiles and drones around the Middle East, striking 12 of its Islamic neighbouring countries, new ‘worse’ leaders in IRAN may well decide to strike Mecca as a ‘false flag operation’ with sudden destruction (Jere. 50:9; 51:8), to rouse the whole Islamic world to Jihad, Holy War against ‘little Satan’ Israel, and ‘big Satan’ USA.

God’s People are commanded to flee from Babylon... happening now... get out of the Middle East...

Heaven rejoices over Babylon’s destruction...  (Rev. 19:1‒3)  Her idolatrous centre is destroyed, and God has wreaked revenge on her for His martyrs. (Rev. 6:9‒11; 20:4; 19:2b)

In the end time, Babylon’s metaphorical remains are thrown into the Red Sea (Rev. 18:21), not into the Euphrates River, in Chaldea, as per Jere. 51:63‒64.

Fortunately, the rest of the world is now departing from Babylon, and from where Iran is striking in retaliation, i.e., Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Azerbaijan, Israel, Iraq, Cyprus, Qatar, Türkiye, Oman, Northern Iraq and Kuwait. In maps: Strikes across Iran and the Middle East (bbc.com)  

The Bible says wherever IRAN is firing missiles at:  as per the above... Come out of her my people...  (Jere. 51:6, 45, 50; Rev. 18:4)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally, we are seeing the rising up of the EIGHTH ITERATION of the beast’s power (Rev. 17:11) via the SHIA inspired and supported ‘Axis of Resistance’ ― 10 ‘kings without kingdoms’ ― Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, PIJ, and Iraq Militias etc., via the IRANIAN alliance that is being made with its SHIA inspired rebel leaders. 

It is possible that Mecca will be destroyed as a ‘false flag operation’ by SHIA IRAN, and its 10 horns ‘terrorist groups/militias’(who will blame it on Israel and USA) in order to rouse the whole Islamic world to rise up in WW III between Islam and the rest.  Just like the False Prophet who makes fire come down from heaven (Rev. 13:14), so the replacement  Iranian Ayatollah (or Al-Mahdi wearing a Black Turban, to show his descent from the original False Prophet, Muhammad), will also perform great signs; (Rev. 16:14) hoping to gather his SHIA Jihadist and Mujahedeen minions to the battle of the great day of the Lord.

Hence, Babylon/Mecca is destroyed by fire to make it a burnt mountain, by a destroying wind that rolls her down from the mountains. The archers send missiles... they will lift up a shout against her (i.e., a loud noise).  She is destroyed because of the vengeance of the LORD, who puts it into the minds of the eighth iteration of beast power, to totally destroy the idolatrous system that is inherent in the great city, represented by the Ka’aba, as the direction of prayer for Muslims, who must bow down 5 times a day in that direction in their worship of Allah, the ‘moon god’ of Islam.   Mecca will be made radioactive... (Rev. 6:12‒17) Like Sodom and Gomorrah, Arabs will not pitch any tents there (Isaiah 13:19‒22; 51:1‒14, 24‒26)

And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth.

Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell.

And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.  (Rev. 16:18‒19)
