The destruction of the United States of America

Isaiah prophesied concerning the fall of literal Babylon. Literal Babylon was destroyed by the Medo-Persian Empire in 536 B.C.

Isaiah 47 (NIV) "Go down, sit in the dust, Virgin Daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, Daughter of the Babylonians. No more will you be called tender or delicate. 2 Take millstones and grind flour; take off your veil. Lift up your skirts, bare your legs, and wade through the streams. 3 Your nakedness will be exposed and your shame uncovered. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one." 4 Our Redeemer--the LORD Almighty is his name-- is the Holy One of Israel. 5 "Sit in silence, go into darkness, Daughter of the Babylonians; no more will you be called queen of kingdoms. 6 I was angry with my people and desecrated my inheritance; I gave them into your hand, and you showed them no mercy. Even on the aged you laid a very heavy yoke. 7 You said, 'I will continue forever-- the eternal queen!' But you did not consider these things or reflect on what might happen. 8 "Now then, listen, you wanton creature, lounging in your security and saying to yourself, 'I am, and there is none besides me. I will never be a widow or suffer the loss of children.' 9 Both of these will overtake you in a moment, on a single day: loss of children and widowhood. They will come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and all your potent spells. 10 You have trusted in your wickedness and have said, 'No one sees me.' Your wisdom and knowledge mislead you when you say to yourself, 'I am, and there is none besides me.' 11 Disaster will come upon you, and you will not know how to conjure it away. A calamity will fall upon you that you cannot ward off with a ransom; a catastrophe you cannot foresee will suddenly come upon you. 12 "Keep on, then, with your magic spells and with your many sorceries, which you have labored at since childhood. Perhaps you will succeed, perhaps you will cause terror. 13 All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you. 14 Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot even save themselves from the power of the flame. Here are no coals to warm anyone; here is no fire to sit by. 15 That is all they can do for you-- these you have labored with and trafficked with since childhood. Each of them goes on in his error; there is not one that can save you.

Revelation chapter 17 is a spiritual Babylon.  It is a "Christian" church. 

It is Christian Organized Religion.

Revelation chapter 18 begins "After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven."  By the wording that John the Revelator used in the opening phrase of chapter 18, we can know that this is a different Babylon than the Babylon referenced in Revelation chapter 17. 

Revelation chapter 18 is a commercial Babylon.  It is a "Christian" nation.

It is the United States of America.

Like Revelation chapter 17, Revelation chapter 18 is also a figurative Babylon because in approximately 70 A.D. when John wrote Revelation, literal Babylon had already been destroyed, never to be restored, fulfilling the prophesy of Jeremiah 51:64.

Jeremiah 51:64 (NIV) Then say, 'So will Babylon sink to rise no more because of the disaster I will bring upon her. And her people will fall.'" The words of Jeremiah end here.

We are given fore glimpses throughout the Word of God. Literal Babylon is a fore glimpse of figurative Babylon. Literal Babylon is a fore glimpse of the United States of America. There are many similarities in literal Babylon referenced in Isaiah 47 and figurative Babylon referenced in Revelation 18.

Revelation 18 (NIV) After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. 2 With a mighty voice he shouted: "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. 3 For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries." 4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; 5 for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. 6 Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Mix her a double portion from her own cup. 7 Give her as much torture and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, 'I sit as queen; I am not a widow, and I will never mourn.' 8 Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her. 9 "When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. 10 Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: "'Woe! Woe, O great city, O Babylon, city of power! In one hour your doom has come!' 11 "The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more-- 12 cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; 13 cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and bodies and souls of men. 14 "They will say, 'The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your riches and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.' 15 The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn 16 and cry out: "'Woe! Woe, O great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls! 17 In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!' "Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. 18 When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, 'Was there ever a city like this great city?' 19 They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: "'Woe! Woe, O great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin! 20 Rejoice over her, O heaven! Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets! God has judged her for the way she treated you.'" 21 Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: "With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again. 22 The music of harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No workman of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again. 23 The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world's great men. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray. 24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth."

Verse 2 "She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird."

Every newspaper in America carries daily horoscopes. Magicians are invited into homes through television, the schools, and into churches. Astrologers have been reported in the White House. Palm readers, tarot card readers, enchanters, diviners, mediums, and sorcerers are common in most cities. Fortune cookies are the lark of Chinese restaurants.

Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (NIV) Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you.

2 Chronicles 33:6 (NIV) He sacrificed his sons in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced sorcery, divination and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the LORD, provoking him to anger.

Revelation 21:8 (NIV) But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

Revelation 22:15 (NIV) Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

Verse 3 "the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries."

Was there ever a nation in which this was more true?

Verse 5 "for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes."

ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST HORRIBLE SINS IS ABORTION,

bringing about the demise of

LAW AND ORDER!

Certainly, no one desires interference or intrusion into their private lives by any form of government. However, we must ask ourselves if we desire a society of law and order, or a society of chaos. The Los Angeles riot answers this question clearly. But how far do we allow the government to go in establishing Law and Order - What must be included in the Cardinal Rules?

MURDER - THE STEALING OF SOMEONE'S LIFE MUST BE PRIMARY!

To devalue life legally, as abortion does, and then expect that people will only take life when it is in accordance with the wishes and laws of the State, is to not understand humanity. When life is devalued specifically, then it is devalued in general. The wanton disregard for the sanctity of life that murder through abortion stimulates is consuming our society in lawlessness.

Ecclesiastes 8:11 (NIV) When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, the hearts of the people are filled with schemes to do wrong.

Psalms 139:13-16 (NIV) For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

In Genesis chapter 4 we are given the first historical example of murder. God Almighty - the Creator, Lawgiver, Judge, Advocate, and Wonderful Counselor of all the Universe established laws pertaining to murder thereafter.

Genesis 9:5-6 (NIV) And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man. 6 "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man.

Is it lawful for a woman to involve her body with someone else and then retain complete control - murder the child because of personal inconvenience? An equivalent horror would be murder of the child by the father because he considered it inconvenient to pay child support. The only just position in accordance with corporate law is that a woman retains complete control of her own body - until she voluntarily incorporates it with another person. After incorporating with another person, - any action impacting that corporation must be agreed upon by the affected parties;

All three of them! 

Psalms 127:3 (NIV) Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.

It has been alleged that 43 million babies have been murdered in America since the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court ruling on January 22, 1973. These murders continue at the rate of 1.5 million children per year. Every four year presidential term that elapses, produces the equivalent number of deaths that Adolph Hitler produced with all of his demonic, hate filled, destructive machinery and system. Since Roe vs. Wade, every single term United States President, Supreme Court, and the Congress they worked with have equaled the total murders committed by Adolph Hitler with his legal system, judges, and subordinates. Names of killing centers that have become synonymous with terrorist murder like Auschwitz/Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Majdanek, Sobibor and Chelmno have been totally eclipsed in their horror by the killing centers of Washington D. C., New York City, Reno, Honolulu, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. There are now more abortions annually in our nations capital than there are babies born. Hitler, heinous in his destruction of 6 million Jews, shrinks almost to insignificance in comparison to America -

swimming in the blood of 43,000,000 of her own babies!

JUST AS SURELY AS NUREMBERG CAME FOR INDIVIDUALS IN HITLER'S GOVERNMENTAL, GENOCIDAL SYSTEM, NUREMBERG WILL COME FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENTAL, GENOCIDAL SYSTEM!  PERFECT JUSTICE WILL BE METED OUT FOR EVERY PERSON WHO HAS A SHRED OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS HORRIBLE BLOODY NIGHTMARE! Genesis 4:10 reflects our plight.

Genesis 4:10 (NIV) The LORD said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.

Numbers 35:33 (NIV) "'Do not pollute the land where you are. Bloodshed pollutes the land, and atonement cannot be made for the land on which blood has been shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it.

The terrorist who attacked the World Trade Center killed approximately 4,000 people.  Americans are justified in bringing them to justice because they are evil and murdered 4,000 civilians.  Consider that America murders more of her own people every day than did the World Trade Center terrorists on one day.   Since January 22, 1973 we do to ourselves every day more than what the terrorist did to us on one day.  We murder 5,000 of our own innocent civilians every single day, seven days a week of every month, 365 days a year, and have done and continue to do this since January 22, 1973 totaling now 43,000,000 murders.  While the horror of the World Trade Center attack is very obvious to every American, how can we be so blind as to fail to see that by mathematical calculation, we are more than 10,000 times more murderous than the World Trade Center terrorist were.

While America is committing many heinous crimes, she has continued to be blessed because of the righteous, praying Christians within her.  America is in a spiritual battle.  The battle is between God and Satan, Christianity and Islam, good and evil.  Most of the participants on either side do not recognize or believe that it is a spiritual battle.  

(Ephesians 6:10-18 NIV) Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

Very few people could walk through a graveyard after dark without having some unusual thoughts come to their mind.  Halloween has been celebrated for many years giving attention to the spirit world, and many people accept and believe the stories of angels helping people in great distress including some stories that surfaced after the World Trade Center attack.  Yet when it comes God, Satan, angels, and demons, most people place them in the same category as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the tooth fairy.  I assure you that God, Satan, angels, demons, and the spiritual warfare being waged around and through humanity is as real as the World Trade Center attack.

The hierarchical structure determining what faith a society is considered to be is a highly leveraged situation with the balance in any country hanging on a few influential leaders who are in most cases unknowingly being led by Spirits.  Most people in Muslim countries are no more tied to Allah than most Americans are tied to Jesus Christ.  In Muslim countries, a minority of leaders led by evil spirits moved the social order to Islam.  The masses dont really know about Islam, and they don't really care.  If knowledge of and communion with Jesus Christ were to be accepted by a strong minority of the political leadership in Afghanistan they could become a Christian country.  A strong minority of the leaders in communion with the Holy Spirit moved the American society to Christianity, and the masses followed.  The American masses really dont know, and they really dont care about Jesus Christ and His concepts.  In presenting the American people a mirror image of themselves, the American media reflects little about love between the people of the United States for each other, and we personally know that the media reflection of a lack of love is accurate. If Christian leadership fails (it is failing) America could become Islamic (it is fast becoming).  Under Bill Clinton, America allied with Islam and attacked the Christians in the Balkans.  Another example of Islamic intrusion into the United States is the secret fraternity of Freemasonry who by their own documentation are an ancient Arabic Muslim organization with roots going back to Mohammed.  Freemasonry is very involved in American society, as their members function in the leadership roles of many Christian church denominations, including the right wing evangelical denominations.

The Fatimids propped up their power by gathering the Ismailites into a Grand Lodge of complex initiations and hierarchical degrees; the members were used for political espionage and intrigue; the forms of the order were transmitted to Jerusalem and Europe, and strongly influenced the organization, ritual, and garb of the Templars, the Illuminati, and the other secret fraternities of the Western world.  The American businessman is periodically a zealous Mohammedan, proud of his secret doctrine, his Moroccan fez, and his Moslem shrine.  - Will Durant.
