When Nebuchadnezzar and rsquos armies drove the Israelites out of Jerusalem where did they go?
When the Kingdom of Judah, part of Assyria, was taken over by the Babylonians in 605 BCE, many of the king's court and prominent citizens were taken to Babylonia. Many of the Jews stayed in place. There were other periods where people were exiled to Babylon during Nebuchadnezzar's rule and some of those returned in later generations.
Why did the Babylonians take over Canaan and what did they force the Israelites to do?
The Babylonians conquered the nations of the Palestinian region as part of a territorial expansion after their defeat of the Assyrian Empire. They never conquered Israel, because the kingdom had ceased to exist more than a century earlier, following the Assyrian conquest. The successor province to Israel was called Samaria, and the people (now of mixed race) were called Samarians or Samaritans. We have very little information about the interaction of the Babylonians with the Samaritans, but it was probably fairly benign because they simply exchanged one overlord for another. Similarly, the Canaanites, who occupied the coastal strip centred on the city of Dor, would have seen little change from rule by the Assyrians.
The Judahite people were beginning to adopt the ethnic name 'Israelite' at about the time of the Babylonian conquest, possibly to justify claims on the much larger and more prosperous northern territory, but there is little evidence that this name was used by other nations for the people of Judah until some centuries later. The leading citizens of Jerusalem, capital of Judah, were forced into exile, although much of the rural population and some residents of Jerusalem were allowed to remain behind. It was only the Persian defeat of Babylon that eventually resulted in the exiled Jews being allowed to return to their homeland in Judah.

Why did Ur decline as a city-state?
The Third Dynasty of Ur, also known as the Neo-Sumerian Empire or the Ur III Empire, refers simultaneously to a 21st to 20th century BC Sumerian ruling dynasty based in the city of Ur and a short-lived territorial-political state that some historians regard as a nascent empire. Ur was a major city, and later the capital, of the Sumerian Empire in southern Mesopotamia. Its location near the sea made it a center of commerce and trade routes. Between 2030-1980 BCE, Ur was the world's largest city, boasting about 65,000 inhabitants within its walls. The city featured many glorious temples and tombs. Today, the site is recognizable for its well-preserved remains of the Great Ziggurat.
Who is the Babylon of the book of Revelation?
Babylon was the first religious/political "government system of man" reestablished on earth following the flood. It was the core system and pattern from which all the empires that followed it down through the centuries were modeled.
The Bible reveals "four main world-ruling empires" that were to rule over man... until the Kingdom of God comes to remove and replace them at the end of God's plan. The first was Babylon, which was followed by the Persian Empire, then the Greco/Macedonian Empire, then the Roman Empire.
The last three empires, each in turn, borrowed from the model of the Babylonian "Mystery Religion," customs and traditions [and from each other]... which in turn developed into the "system of government" that still rules the world, today -- a system that is STILL, basically, BABYLON!
That's the "Babylon of Revelation"... the ancient combined systems of the past governments of man that CONTINUES TO RULE OVER MAN... and shall continue to rule the earth until Christ returns.
While this world, blinded and deceived by its god, Satan the Devil, sees the Bible as a "religious book" [and to some as a book of myths and fanciful fables]... the real message of the Bible that mankind keeps missing is of God's GOOD NEWS about His COMING KINGDOM!
"...a Child is born to us, a Son is given to us. And THE GOVERNMENT WILL REST ON HIS SHOULDERS... His ever-expanding, PEACEFUL GOVERNMENT WILL NEVER END..." (Isa.9:6-7 NLT New Living Translation)
That's the wonderful GOOD NEWS[gospel]... and un-believed... message of the Bible. It's not a "religious statement" -- it's a POLITICAL ONE!
And the "Babylon of the book of Revelation" is the final generation of the "system of man's governments" that shall rule on the earth, just before Jesus Christ returns to earth with His army of angels, to SMASH THEM TO PIECES!
Even Daniel revealed, anciently, the GOOD NEWS [gospel] of God's coming Kingdom to King Nebuchadnezzar... the king of Babylon!
"...the God of heaven will set up a Kingdom that will never be destroyed; no one will ever conquer it. It will SHATTER ALL THESE KINGDOMS INTO NOTHINGNESS, but it will stand forever. That is the meaning of the Rock [Jesus Christ] cut from the Mountain by supernatural means, crushing to dust the statue of iron [Rome], bronze [Greece], silver [Persia], and gold [Babylon]. The Great God has shown your majesty WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. The dream is TRUE, and its meaning IS CERTAIN." (Dan.2:44-45 NLT)
The Bible reveals that Satan owns man's governments!
"...I will give you the glory of these kingdoms and authority over them - BECAUSE THEY ARE MINE TO GIVE TO ANYONE I PLEASE." (Luke 4:6 NLT)
God gave Adam and Eve [mankind] the earth in the beginning. And the first thing they did was "choose the wrong god to worship and obey"... and they sold themselves and their children into slavery to their god... into bondage to sin. That god was Satan the Devil: "...the great Dragon... that old Serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world..." (Rev.12:9 KJV).
And in that transaction between man and the god of this world... man's future systems of religion and government were structured after the design of their chosen god.
Babylon was that pattern... just like its god... evil, wicked, self-serving. Just like the unchanged, Satan-owned governments of man, today. The systems took on many different names over the centuries -- but the Babylonian system has been at the root of them all.
The Babylon of the book of Revelationis the prophesied "final Babylon-based government system of man" that shall rule on the earth before Jesus Christ returns to remove it, and Satan, before He establishes God's Kingdom on earth.
