the Bible is “magical”
It is not Rome because the great tribulation and Armageddon did not happen and neither did Rome suffer the same fate as BTG.

superstitious belief
If that is the case, end of discussion.
Now, if we consider that the Bible is the word of God as a given factor, then we are looking for values of variables such as the meaning of BTG using the entire Bible as an equation
Since we already know the answer when we consider the Bible is a sham, we are not trying to validate the Bible in this equation. That is a different equation —and subject —and being a troll —and disruptive. The book of Revelation describes the fall of Babylon the great, the great tribulation, Armageddon, the Millennium, Resurrection of the dead, etc.
Start your own topic about the validity of the Bible. Your comments would be relevant under that subject.

Rome
Rome did not suffer the fate of BTH therefore not Rome.

Jesus as 'The mighty + almighty God'
by JW Answers in

2. beliefs
jehovah's witnesses refuse to believe that jesus is the almighty god.

they would state that jesus is 'mighty', but not almighty.. below is a 30 minute video proving from the word of god that the lord jesus christ is both mighty and almighty, separate from the father but equal too.. the verses used from scripture show without a doubt that christ is mighty (isaiah 9:6) and almighty (rev 1:7-8)..

Greetings Kosonen!
Of course , Revelation says it’s a mystery and doesn’t disclose her identity— but if the shoe fits…. Another hint the book gives is “her spiritistic practices” so that wouldn’t imply pure worship.
There are only 2 candidates described in the Bible fitting the bill: secular and religious. Since Daniel and Armageddon describes world rulers suffering a different fate, it seems to be religious.

It didn’t happen because their religious superstitions were unfounded. As are yours.
Scripture says so. Not me.
But again that is immaterial. The subject is: what does BTG symbolize, and that her identity as “world empire of false religion” is plausible.

Wrong
Maybe not but immaterial.
“In the days of those kings the God of heaven…”And don’t forget the stone from heaven that strikes the feet of the image and not one empire or kingdom or whatever you like to call that world empire. That didn’t happen. The destruction of Babylon didn’t happen either. The point that I was replying to in your remark was WT choice of words to describe false religion aka the world empire of false religion vis-à-vis the political image in Daniel’s book which has a different fate than BTG.

The term is nonsense invented by the Watch Tower Society in 1963
Call her whatever you like. For example, the image in Daniel refers to all political empires. BTG refers to all false religions. “A rose by any other name…”

all of those having been slain on earth.

Doesnt describe Rome. Also, is was Religion that wanted Jesus killed and was behind Jesus being turned over to Pilate. —Religion throughout the centuries past present and future is responsible for the bloodshed. Do the math.
with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality
Rome was also one of the kings of the earth and like the other kings had sex with this woman. This is obvious.
