Babylon (Arabic: بابل, Babil; Akkadian: Bābili(m);[1] Sumerian logogram: KÁ.DINGIR.RAKI;[1] Hebrew: בבל, Bābel;[1] Greek: Βαβυλών, Babylōn) was an Akkadian city-state (founded in 1867 BC by an Amorite dynasty) of ancient Mesopotamia, the remains of which are found in present-day Al Hillah, Babil Province, Iraq,
From bible
And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

The First Babylonian Dynasty was established by an Amorite chieftain named Sumu-abum in 1894 BC, who declared independence from the neighboring city-state of Kazallu. The Amorites were not native to Mesopotamia, but were semi nomadic Semitic invaders from the lands to the west. Babylon controlled little surrounding territory until it became the capital of Hammurabi's empire a century later (r. 1792–1750 BC). Hammurabi is famous for codifying the laws of Babylonia into the Code of Hammurabi that has had a lasting influence on legal thought. Subsequently, the city of Babylon continued to be the capital of the region known as Babylonia. Hammurabi's empire quickly dissolved after his death, although the Amorite dynasty remained in power until 1595 BC when they were overthrown by the invading Hittites from Asia Minor. Following the sack of Babylon by the Hittites, the Kassites invaded and took over Babylon, ushering in a dynasty that was to last for 435 years until 1160 BC. The city was renamed Karanduniash during this period. The Kassites originated from the Zagros Mountains to the north east of Mesopotamia. However, Kassite Babylon eventually became subject to domination by Elam and Assyria, both nations often interfering in or controlling Babylon during the Kassite period. The Assyrian king Tukulti-Ninurta I took the throne of Babylon in 1235 BC, becoming the first native Mesopotamian to rule there. It has been estimated that Babylon was the largest city in the world from ca. 1770 to 1670 BC, and again between ca. 612 and 320 BC. It was perhaps the first city to reach a population above 200,000.[

Very good interpretation I think.
So using what you know and suspect,
what is the rest of the story?
What are the puzzle pieces of symbology.
Coming to this theory, you must have more?

So in the bible does it say anything about a huge military? And of that side was good or evil?
Just wondering, it would be interesting to know. Because coming up against Iran, Russia and China, and possibly north Korea and maybe some south American countries would be immense. Even though I reckon it would still be a fairly even war.

I see what you mean, about there not being a modern day. But I thought the bible held prophecies and future predictions based on what God showed them and they wrote down.
So wouldn't they have written about huge world powers that wouldn't have been confusible with the middle east and rome?
Unless these things have come to pass already?
I'm not very good with the whole bible thing. But I would have thought powers of the world would be mentioned. Or does the bible not concern anyone who doesn't originate from the old world powers and civilizations.
Sorry just trying to understand..

To think that vatican doesnt have their hands in things is a giant unstatement. The Mafia were all catholics and began in italy as well, now the "Mafia" has officially infiltrated politics within our government.
Vatican is controling the strings

Absolutely, without a doubt. Take a look at the U.S., it looks just like the image of the Beast in Revelation. The Beast in Revelation is the Roman Empire, the exact same 4th Beast in the book of Daniel. Now who sits in Rome? The Vatican, more precisely The Pope who lays claim to all the titles Caesar had? The Pope.
The U.S. is the image of the Beast.
