If we rely solely on the scriptures itself and allow the scripture to interpret the scriptures 2 Peter 1:10, then we can know assuredly who that great City Babylon spoken about in the book of Revelation.
The apostle John does give us some vital information to its identity under the terms referred to as the great City and that great City, and also the blood of prophets and the blood of saints and martyrs of Yah'Shua/Jesus, and please keep these terms in mind while reading this article.
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yah'Shua/Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. Revelation 17:5-6.
And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.Revelation 17:18.

Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God/Yah hath avenged you on her... [And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. Revelation 18:20;18:24.
The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem. For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her Lamentations 4:12-13.
Yah'Shua Messiah said: And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:..
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Matthew 23:30-37; See also Luke 11:47-51.
The Book of Acts of the Apostles records the stoning and killing of the saints.
And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God/Yah, and saying, Lord Yah'Shua/Jesus, receive my spirit. Acts 7:59; See also Acts 12:2.
There can be no doubt this is referring to earthly Jerusalem.
