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 />
