BABYLON
BASIC R.C. BELIEF A symbolic name for Rome. Peter's writing from there (I Peter 5:13) proves he was Bishop of Rome. References to Babylon (Revelation 14:8; 16:19; 17:5; 18:2,10,21) refer solely to Pagan Rome.
CHRISTIAN COMMENT A careful reading of the references to Babylon in Revelation plainly show this is not speaking of Pagan Rome, but of a future universal religious power.
