Any similarities between the 2 Babylons?
Could the Baylon mentioned in 1 Peter refer to the same mystery Babylon in Revelation? Is there a cryptic meaning? And if so, what does Babylon refer to in 1 Peter? Could it be Rome?
The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son. (1 Peter 5:13)
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. (Revelation 17:5)
God Bless!
