Sorry, I don't believe that the city, Babylon, will be Rome, but it will be the rebuilt Babylon. The Bible says that Babylon (the Empire) sits on
seven mountains and not seven hills. Mountains represent countries or nations and the countries listed in Ezekiel 38 are now said to be 7 Muslim
countries.
About 30 years ago the world was 1/5 Islam, today is is 1/4 Islam. After the rapture and all the calamities on the earth, the world will be at least
1/3 Islam, if not 1/2, half way through the 7 year Tribulation Period.
