Revelation 18:24

24  And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

No city or country on earth could possibly qualify to fulfill this verse. This verse is not saying all saints ever killed were killed in a city or a place on earth called “Babylon the Great”. What it is saying is that the religious and political systems that corrupted the earth under the entire administrative rule of Satan is named “Babylon the Great”.  In God’s eyes, the whole administration of Satan is called Babylon and not just the culmination of his kingdom in the end times.

Satan has been responsible for all those slain on the earth. The satanic administration began at the fall of Adam. However, it first appeared as an organized political and religious entity on the earth after the flood, at Babylon under Nimrod. “Babylon the Great” is the satanic political and religious substitute for the true kingdom of God on earth that God promised through His prophets. This true kingdom is to be ruled from Jerusalem by His Son Jesus.

The prophecy about “Babylon the Great” goes beyond just the location of its birth and death as an actual city. It also reveals the spiritual war on earth that has been waged for six thousand years against the children of light and God’s promises to them. At the earthly culmination of “Babylon the Great” under the false Messiah incarnated by Satan there will be a worldwide lawless counterfeit kingdom of god filled with everything satanic. This pagan Babylonian world system will then be judged by God and will be cast down suddenly and will be found no more. God will then bring in the promised Jewish kingdom of God on earth ruled by Jesus and those that trust in Him.
