Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Babylon occurs in the Christian New Testament both with a literal and a figurative meaning. The famous ancient city, located near Baghdad, was a complete unpopulated ruin by 275 BC, well before the time of the New Testament. In the Book of Revelation, the city of Babylon seems to be the symbol of every kind of evil. Babylon was later the nominal seat of Latin archbishop, of an Assyrian patriarch and of a Syrian archbishop[citation needed]. But according to the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia: "Babylon", there was probably no Christian community in the actual city of Babylon during the time when the New Testament books were completed (roughly, the second half of the first century). There are passing references to the historical Babylon of the Jewish past in Matthew 1:11,12,17 and in Acts 7:43, but these are literary. In 1 Peter 5:13 Babylon is designated as the place from which that Epistle was written, but this has traditionally been interpreted as an example of the figurative sense of "Babylon", as a euphemism for Rome. Peter is believed to have spent the last years of his life in Rome.
