1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
17 And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
Revelation 18 KJV
The Babylon we associate with Baghdad and Iraq is far inland and cannot be seen from "afar off" at sea. The same can be said of Rome, which is not itself a seaport.
On the other hand, New York City is a seaport, and if it were burning the ship masters could see the smoke afar off at sea.
Egypt is where Pharaoh is.
Babylon is where the Harlot is.
Rome is where the pit is.
The only place where all three of these can be found together is New York City.
