Abstract

“La figura de Babilonia en el libro de Apocalipsis” ─ La figura de
Babilonia es parte de una temática dentro del libro de Apocalipsis que el
autor denomina como “el tema de la ‘Gran Ciudad’”. Apocalipsis presenta
dos ciudades contrapuestas; una de ellas es la Gran Ciudad, y la otra es la
Santa Ciudad. La Santa Ciudad es la Nueva Jerusalén, la Novia de Cristo.
Por otro lado, la Gran Ciudad es la antagonista de Cristo, la enemiga
de Dios y de su pueblo. Esta es identificada en el Apocalipsis de varias
formas, como Sodoma, Egipto y Babilonia, que son conceptos clave que
hallan su significado en contextos y tradiciones bíblicos.
