  🤦‍♂️

  If that is the case, end of discussion.

  It would be if the participants were rational.

  No, that’s called begging the question. The subject of this thread is the meaning of ‘Babylon the Great’ in Revelation. It’s Rome, irrespective of whether you think the Bible is magical.

  Fisherman:

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

  The fact that a superstitious belief did not eventuate is not evidence that it 'really' means 'something that will still happen in the future'. They were just wrong, and that's all.

  Fisherman:

  There are only 2 candidates described in the Bible fitting the bill: secular and religious.

  Entirely wrong. There is actually exactly one meaning for the ‘city that has a kingdom over other kings’ that was relevant to first century Christians. Rome. Their superstitions were wrong, and people like you, Kosenen and Watch Tower have been making up excuses ever since.

  Kosenen:

  Hi Fisherman, nice that you are at least interested in the Bible and the Revelation book and try to understand this and thanks Godlyman for bringing up this subject.

  It seems that your basis for determining that someone is ‘interested’ in the subject is actually that they insist it has some supernatural meaning.

  Is it possible that Covid, which affected the entire world economy, is punishment from God against the Harlot? I have been pondering over this for quite some time.

  🤦‍♂️ It didn’t happen because their religious superstitions were unfounded. As are yours.

  Fisherman:

  For example, the image in Daniel refers to all political empires.

  Wrong. The image in Daniel represents Babylon, Persia, Greece (Macedonia) and the competing Ptolemaic and Seleucid dynasties up until Antiochus IV.
