58 BABYLON RISING<br />
After the other passengers had deplaned in Seattle and<br />
he had taken possession of the money and the parachutes,<br />
Cooper demanded that the plane be flown to Mexico<br />
City via Reno, where the plane would be refueled.<br />
While en route to Reno, “Cooper” parachuted from<br />
the aircraft into a rainstorm, wearing only a business suit<br />
and light shoes. His whereabouts were never discovered.<br />
Most experts thought it was unlikely he survived his<br />
descent into the rugged, bush-covered countryside.<br />
In 1980, a young boy vacationing with his family on<br />
the banks of the Columbia River found almost $6,000 of<br />
the ransom money given to D.B. Cooper. But although<br />
there have been numerous suspects investigated over the<br />
years, authorities are still not sure of the identity of this<br />
mystery hijacker.<br />
Like that of D.B. Cooper, the identity of the<br />
mysterious Babylon of the book of Revelation has proven<br />
too difficult for many people to uncover.<br />
<strong>It</strong> is curious that for hundreds of years, most of<br />
Christianity was united on the subject. History tells us<br />
that people across the centuries had a very distinct idea<br />
regarding the identity of Babylon. And that might be<br />
significant. Because history repeats. And Babylon is rising.<br />
