Message-ID: Date: 9 Apr 91 07:12:44 GMT Sender: hedrick@athos.rutgers.edu Lines: 21 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu I am interested in hearing views about the identity of Babylon the Great, the mother of the harlots in Revelation. Who or what does she represent? What evidence has lead you to this belief? And, what Scriptures help to identify her? Best Regards...... Steve Peterson ---- stevep@cadence.com or ...!uunet!cadence!stevep [This is going to be hard to respond to without giving a more general presentation on eschatology. That is, whether people interpret Babylon as something in the 1st Cent, the 20th, or the dim future depends a lot on their overall approach to eschatology. So I think responses are going to have to be fairly general. Also, I would like to remind people that there are many of our readers who don't know the precise meaning of terms such as "pre-millenial". I'd suggest that you define any technical terms that you use. --clh]
