Come out of Babylon my people

What is this Babylon from where Gods people must break out of?

Sir,
Rev.18:2, “and he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, …” 4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE …”
What is this Babylon from where Gods people must break out of?
In Dan 2 we find the Babylonian statue presenting all the nations that will rule the world.
They were also represented by animals.
These pagan nations all honoured the sun and even their different temples faced east, towards the rising sun. Babylon, the head of gold, were the first of these nations.
This was not acceptable for Nebuchadnezzar to be only the head and he decided to make this Babylonian statue of complete gold to show God that his kingdom will last forever (Dan3).
He then ordered his nation and the leaders of all the other nations which he has concord to come and worship this image.
Anyone who would refuse would be killed in a burning furnace.
Of the Jewish nation there were only three that refused and they were thrown into the furnace where Jesus was waiting for them. The king then asked his advisors why he now sees four walking freely in the furnace and one looks like the Son of God.
This was given to us as a sign of what is going to happen again right at the end of time when Jesus again will intervene.
In Rev.13:1, 2 a beast rises out of the sea, presenting all the Babylonian animals in one body, and therefore all the religions, who also find a mother in Rome.
Then another beast (USA) came up out of the land (11) just after the sea beast. The Roman world church was wounded on the 10/02/1798 and Protestantism started to bloom.
As the sun was always honoured in Babylonian worship, the sun will once again be honoured in a new image (Rev.13:11-18) which the USA is erecting for the Roman Empire. Sunday laws will be forced down on the world through the USA. It will soon start with a family day but ending where those who have the seal of God will not be able to buy or sell, and many will be killed.
In Ezek.8:9-15 God shows Ezekiel the wicked abominations of idol worship. Then still greater ones in verse 14 where women are weeping for the son god Tammuz. Then God said, “I will show you even greater abominations than these”. He then showed him where 25 men facing east with their backs towards the temple and worshipping the sun.
In Ezeg.9:4 the LORD said that those receiving His seal are those who cry over these abominations, of which sun honouring is the worst. Changing Gods Holy and blessed Sabbath inscribed into rock with His own finger to the day of the sun is an abomination no matter all the Christian values given to it.
May God bless you.
