Re: Babylon in Revelations
Revelation 18:24 KJV And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. Jesus said the guilt for all the blood shed on the earth was to be put upon Jerusalem.
Matthew 23:35 KJV That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. And Jesus said that a prophet, whose blood was found in the harlot, cannot be shed except in Jerusalem.
Luke 13:33 KJV Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. So, how was the prophet's blood found in the harlot Babylon, if Babylon was not Jerusalem, if Jesus said no prophet should be slain outside Jerusalem?
