The name of Nebuchadnezzar is used by Jeremiah in Chapter 50 (50:17) and in Chapter 51 (51:34). The use of the name might cause some to initially think Jeremiah's use of the ancient name in these two end times chapters may mean they are really about the Babylon in the future. Like a good mystery, though, both references to Nebuchadnezzar are included in statements about how Israel had been attacked in the past. Historically true.

Therefore, arguing that a modern day Daughter of Babylon arising again in Iraq will be destroyed because ancient Babylon conquered Jerusalem over 2,600 years ago, ignores the fact that God tells us in His inspired Word that He has already punished ancient Babylon for what it did to Israel.

Jeremiah has given us a major identity clue when he tells us that the Daughter of Babylon is a melting pot of "mingled" people. This clue wouldn't apply to Ancient Babylon nor to a global Church denomination, even if it has members in many nations. The word Jeremiah used is translated as "mingled", which doesn't apply to scattered persons in many nations.

Rabbi Yosef Dayan imposed an ancient curse on Sharon for giving up the land, known as a Pulsa di Nura, which included a request that the Angel of Death take Sharon's life.

Therefore, arguing that a modern day Daughter of Babylon arising again in Iraq will be destroyed because ancient Babylon conquered Jerusalem over 2,600 years ago, ignores the fact that God tells us in His inspired Word that He has already punished ancient Babylon for what it did to Israel. Thus, the argument that the Daughter of Babylon will fall because of what ancient Babylon did to Judah won't wash. The Daughter of Babylon will fall because of what the Daughter of Babylon does.

There is no recorded "mother" of ancient Babylon, as the nation was settled by early descendents of Adam and Eve, who, under the leadership of Nimrod, tried to reach up to heaven with their towers, and were scattered by dispersion according to language. If the Daughter of Babylon verses are actually about ancient Babylon, why does one of those verses refer to a non-existent "mother" of Babylon, as there is no recorded history of a "mother of Babylon"?

When the Lord gave to Jeremiah the revelation that he recorded, and we read, in the Book of Jeremiah, He only caused Jeremiah to use the phrase "Daughter of Babylon" twice, once in Jeremiah 50:42, and the second time in Jeremiah 51:33. This is not a casual or accidental use of the name. A close study of Chapters 50 and 51 reveals 99 verses, almost all of which could not apply to ancient Babylon, but do apply to the nation Jeremiah refers to as the Daughter of Babylon.
