Bruce Willis is David Dunn in the movie, Unbreakable. The movie begins with Dunn as the sole survivor of a terrible train crash, from which he emerges without a broken bone. In contrast to Dunn, Elijah Price, the other main character, has brittle bone syndrome. He can break a bone getting out of bed in the morning. For years, Elijah has researched countless disasters to f ind the ‘Unbreakable One.’ Like comic book heroes and their archenemies, Elijah is the antithesis to David, but he only reveals his identity at the movie’s end. Elijah, we discover, has caused many catastrophes to find Dunn. When asked by Dunn why he destroyed so many lives, Price says, “I could only know who I was by finding out who you are!”
Babylon is the antithesis to the New Jerusalem and known by her lewdness. Revelation angels relate a ‘tale of two cities,’ or two women, one holy and one profane. John tells us the angel’s explanation of Mystery Babylon. This chapter serves as an addendum to the seventh Bowl, where the judgment on Babylon was first mentioned.1 Chapter seventeen and eighteen greatly enhance our understanding of Babylon’s nature and relationship to the Beast. To understand who she is, I provide a seven-fold identification in this chapter. In our study here, we are like detectives who use forensic science and DNA to establish a positive ID on a person.
