To understand Babylon the Great you have to understand the books of Revelation, Genesis and the unforgiveable sin.

The book of Revelation in symbolic terms relates the culmination of God’s rest day with judgment of the 144000 and all of mankind. The book is organized into 7 parts: 1-Chapter 1, 2-Chapters 2+3, 3-Chapters 4+5, 4-Chapters 6-19, 5–Chapter 20, 6-Chapter 21, 7-Chapter 22.

There are 2 resurrections: 1-144000 during the re-creation (Mt 19:28, Re Chapters 6-19), 2-all of mankind during the millennium. Chapters 6-19 relate to the first resurrection of the 144000 only. Chapter 20 is of mankind under kingdom rule. Chapters 21+22 are about New Jerusalem and the trees of life.

New Jerusalem and the trees of life are critical to the understanding of Babylon the Great. In the book of Genesis God created the garden of Eden, the tree of life and the first couple. You can now see Jehovah has painstakingly re-created what was lost on earth by reading Revelation: Christ, second Adam, 144000 the second woman, New Jerusalem the second garden, and trees of life the second tree of the garden of Eden.

But remember the tree in the garden of Eden had a dual purpose: the knowledge of good and bad or guilt! The evildoers in the garden incurred that guilt and were sentenced to death for the unforgiveable sin. The unforgiveable sin can only be committed during a "TIME OF JUDGMENT". This is why Jesus stated every sin is forgivable but a sin against the spirit. So what is the unforgiveable sin: transgression of a divine command during a time of judgment!! In the day you eat of it you will die!!

Mankind was always supposed to live in a time of judgment until the 7th day was declared GOOD! Once Adam sinned the time of judgment was suspended for all of mankind. Hence the ability for a man to be resurrected. "Sold under sin" is not the same as committing an unforgiveable sin.

The re-creation or last days or the Lord’s Day begins a new "TIME OF JUDGMENT" for God’s people. The second Adam passed his test on earth. Now the test is of his bride, the 144000. Yes, there have been many judgment periods in the bible (flood, Sodom). But they did not relate to God’s rest.

So who will be judged during the last days’ time of judgment. There are 4 groups: faithful slave, evil slave, domestics, and the confirmed drunkards of Matthew 24. Look carefully at the following verses:

(Revelation 17:4-6) And upon her forehead was written a name, a mystery: “Babylon the Great, the mother of the harlots and of the disgusting things of the earth.” And I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the holy ones and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus.

Who are the "the harlots and of the disgusting things of the earth”. They are the evil slave and the confirmed drunkards.  And "the holy ones and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus". They are the faithful slave and the domestics.

These groups are judged for different reasons. The faithful slave by preaching "good news of the kingdom…in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations" The domestics by "And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if YOU do not want to share with her in her sins, and if YOU do not want to receive part of her plagues."

Now that I have laid the foundation, who is Babylon the Great? It is the spiritual and moral wicked forces against God’s will and work. It can ONLY exist in a time of judgment. So it isn’t false religion or America. Once God’s judgment period begins (Re 12:1, "a great sign seen in heaven, a woman arrayed with the sun"-this woman is the opposite of Babylon the Great just like the tree of life in the garden), all those who are in opposition to the faithful slave and the in-gathering fulfillment commit the unforgiveable sin by fornicating (evil slave) and getting drunk (confirmed drunkards) with Babylon the Great.

In the first scripture below the evil slave commits the unforgiveable sin during a time of judgment by denying the in-gathering of the 144000 and not preaching the good news to the domestics/brothers. In the second scripture the confirmed drunkards masquerade as Christ’s chosen not leaving Babylon.

(2 Peter 3:3, 4) For YOU know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires and saying: “Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep [in death], all things are continuing exactly as from creation’s beginning.”

(Matthew 13:30) Let both grow together until the harvest; and in the harvest season I will tell the reapers, First collect the weeds and bind them in bundles to burn them up, then go to gathering the wheat into my storehouse.’”

Christ separates the sheep and the goats (faithful slave v evil slave) but the ANGELS harvest the weeds from the wheat (confirmed drunkards v domestics/Christ’s brothers).

The wild beast (evil slave follows) and its image (confirmed drunkard follows) receive the mark "in their right hand (evil slave) or upon their forehead (confirmed drunkard)."

Rev 13:18 "Here is where wisdom comes in: Let the one that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a man’s number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six." This is the total of the Roman numerals for Babylon which fights the fulfillment of God’s word. (DCLXVI=500+100+50+10+5+1) It never wants the 7th day to be judged for all eternity!!
