The ORGANIC Structure of BABYLON
Ancient Babylon of Nebucahdnezzar has the organic structure of UNITING the world under one king or ruler. Hence, Daniel referred to Nebuchadnezzar as a "King of kings" Dan. 2: 37
"Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory."
Hence, Nebuchadnezzar united the whole world under one administration.
ADMINISTRATIVE Structure
King Nebuchadnezzar also had rulers representing diverse provinces across the globe in his ruling Councils.
Therefore, it was no surprise that King Nebuchadnezzar recruited also royal kids such as Daniel in his council of counsellors. Hence, he instructed that they carefully pick out
"Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans." Daniel 1:4
Also King Nebuchadnezzar had governors, sherrifs and satraps (Daniel 6:6)by which he ruled Persia, Media and Grecian regions even unto the Ethiopian (African) countries. He divided these regions into provinces.
GEOGRAPHIC location of Ancient Babylon
The Bible shows us that Babylon was located around the River Euphrates. This can be confirmed by one of the Prophets of old by name Jeremiah who was told by the LORD to bury some of his belt or girdle in the Euphrates as a testimony of Babylon coming to take Jerusalem captive. Hence, geographically it must have been situated between the Tigris and the Euphrates
View Larger Map. The Bible which is the best book for history clearly depicts this.
King Nebuchadnezzar testifies of the lesson the LORD taught him for boasting in his strength. Read the whole of Daniel 4.
We soon found out that BABYLON was defeated by the Medes and Persians under the rule of King Nebuchadnezzar's son. See Daniel 5: 31. After the defeat of Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans, Dairus the King of Medes took over from Babylon to continue World Rule. Daniel 5: 31.
MAGIC!
We also see abundantly from the scriptures of Prophet Daniel that magic, astrology and sorcery were the major means of seeking wisdom under the Ancient rule of Babylon. Today, we must be hearing those words "magic" a lot of times in TV commercials and other advertorials.
"Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof." Daniel 4:7
King Nebucahdnezzar of Babylon often resorted to magicians, sorcerers and astrologers for interpreting of difficult puzzles or mysteries and appointed Daniel the chief of them even though Daniel operated by the Spirit of God, Jehovah of the Hebrews.
The was just as the Pharoah of Egypt did and many other monarchs in their times.
"And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh." Genesis 41:8
The practice of magic is the same means irrespective of geography. It is an art.
The ECONOMIC System of the Old Babylonian Empire
The economic life or fabric of the Old Babylonian rule was dominated by TRADE and merchantilism which introduced the use of precious metals like gold as a means of exchange for value.
THE FALL OF BABYLON
The Bible showed us the cause of ancient Babylon's fall.
Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein. Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them." Daniel 5:2-3
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE OLD AND NEW BABYLON
1. Organic Structure
While the Old empire United the world under one King, the New one(US of A) Unites all nations under the United Nations ruled by Washington. This structure seems buttressed by the fact that the US now rules the world via a commity called the G-7
In spite of warning not to use the holy vessels of the God of the Hebrews, Belshazzar, son of Nebu went ahead and even after using such holy vessels, he attributed the glory to his gods of gold , silver, iron etc
What followed was the Judgment of Babylon by the God of the Jews.
You remember the MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN inscription on the wall? See Daniel 5: 25-27.
His Kingdom was DIVIDED unto the Medes and Persians.

We also read in Reveleations 16:19
"And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath."
This is the beginning of God's judgment on Babylon when it finally fulfils its vision of desecrating the Holy Temple of God in Jerusalem right in Israel in the middle east. The Bible clearly depicts that Babylon would be destroyed by a conspiracy which God would determine in the mind of 10 nations referred to as "ten horns" on the beast upon which She rides.She rides on this "beast" and believes she is safe from any trouble but she will be disappointed in the last days.
The New World Order which she will usher in will not be controlled by her but will be hijacked by the Anti-Christ.
Revelations 17 talks of the clues to this New Great Babylon. She sits upon many waters which is peoples, multitudes, tribes, races, nations and tongues. See Rev. 17: 15.
I hope you understand...think of the US Diversity Lottery and understand who this new UNITER is. She re-unites the world into the New Babylonian empire and seeks to control the Kings of the earth through the mechanism of the United Nations.
Read Revelation 17.Revelation Chapter 17
In this new administrative structure it seems like the world presidents are just governors and satraps(embed link to
wikipedia).
2. Geographic location
Whereas the Old Babylon was situated around the Mesopotamia, this New One is located in the North of America.
And its hill or administrative headquarters is the Capitol Hill in Washington DC.
She is arrayed in "...purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls..." Rev.17:4
You should understand that at least the US flag has a RED or scarlet colour on it.
3. MAGIC?
Yes and abundance of it. The United States of America being now the New Great Babylon also makes use of this art and also combines it with Christianity just like the Old one also sought counsel from wise Daniel of the Hebrews. Hence, "in God we trust" depends on what god you are referring to. That must be a personal matter of course as it never said in Jesus or in Yahweh or Jehovah we trust.
4. GREAT BABYLON'S FALL
The fall of the New Great Babylon would also like the Old one be because it fails to reverence the God of the Jews - the Monarch of this Universe as it seeks to enshrine its own doctrine, policies and so-called New World Order on God's earth.
Reason for her judgment? She made all nations drink of the wine of her idolatry "fornication"
"For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. " Rev. 18: 3.
Read Revelation 17 and see that there are seven kings (Rev.17:10) and now now rules the world and when the Last comes it must continue for a short space...
