This is the identity of Babylon: Babylon represents every city and every person who follows in the footsteps of ancient Babylon by adopting the doctrine of the fallen angels. Throughout the Bible, we see that a group of people are defined by their beliefs. And thus, everyone who does not believe in the word of God inevitably adopts the doctrine of Babylon. Babylon is everyone who isn’t in Christ’s church. There are only two groups of people: the Church and Babylon; the wheat and the tares; the sheep and the goats; the children of God and the children of Satan; the saved and the unsaved.
Within the Bible we find the concept of “spiritual fornication”. This fornication occurs when someone accepts the doctrine of the fallen angels as truth. The Whore of Babylon is a whore because she has adopted the religious practices of the fallen angels. This all began in the Garden, when Eve chose to believe Satan’s false doctrine of “sin doesn’t lead to death”. Everyone who adopts the practices of the Whore becomes part of Babylon.
