It's Prophecy Time

       Ancient Babylon fell on October 13, 539 BC, and the USA will fall on the last day of the Tribulation Period like the great, and mighty ancient City of Babylon.  One should notice these "so great riches" in verse 17.  Revelation 18:15-19 say this,  "The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! 17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. 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! 19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate."  This program will help you that the USA is the top dog on planet earth today, at least in part, because of all of its riches.  

The USA is both out of Europe and also out of all nations.  Daniel 7:24 uses the prepositional phrase "out of this kingdom," meaning the greatest migratory movement in the history of mankind came out of Europe to the Americas, as 71% of those people ended up in North America.  God was building Himself a battle-ax, which would be eventually  led by a Beast, Dictator, or the Antichrist.  Jeremiah 51:44 says "the nations shall not flow together any more unto him."  Right now, the nations are flowing in but the time is coming when people are going to be fleeing out for their lives.  Jeremiah 50:28 describes this fleeing out taking place, saying, "The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple."  This program will help a person understand its twofold makeup better. 

      The USA has a mother country, England.  Jeremiah 50:12 talks about the mother country being ashamed of what her child has done - all of this evil that's been done in Zion or Jerusalem.  It says,  "Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert."  This land has been wiped out by mighty, expert arrow, and immediately and perpetually becomes  "a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert."  These Bible prophecies parallel perfectly Revelation 11.  This program will help you see these Bible predictions better!

One parallel passage of the destruction of Babylon in the Bible is Isaiah 47.  Here we have Babylon spoken about as the Lady of Kingdoms, which is destroyed suddenly.   She starts good, tender and delicate, a virgin daughter, but goes through stages of deterioration until in verse 10 she is trusting in her wickedness.  Even though she says she shall be a lady forever, desolation comes upon her suddenly.   This kind of history fits the USA, and when comparing this description to other ones can led to no other nation on planet earth than the USA.  This program will help you understand the history of the USA better and be able to see the USA in Bible prophecy. 

The image of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 2 has ten toes, which are interpreted as 10 kings, as the kingdom of Jesus Christ falls upon the feet of his image.  A parallel passage is Daniel 7, as the prophet sees four beasts coming up out of the sea.  The fourth beast represents the Roman Empire, which has two phases to it. The last phase is ten horns or kings out of the old Roman Empire kingdom.  Verse 8, 20, and 24 talk about this "other" or "another" horn coming after the ten.  This is the one that has a mouth speaking great things.  This is the one who has a body that is given to the burning flame when the Son of Man comes in the clouds of Heaven.  This one is the Antichrist, and he is separate and different from the ten, as in Revelation 17:17 teaches the ten are all in agreement to give their kingdom to this Beast.  It is clear that the USA is in the Western Hemisphere and the EU nations are in Europe.   

      The USA is certainly in the Bible, as it can be seen in context of the destruction of Babylon.  First, it is destroyed immediately after the Tribulation Period is over.  Second, this means it is destroyed between the sixth vial judgment which is a gathering for the Battle for Armageddon and the Battle of Armageddon in Revelation 19.  Third, Jesus Christ is coming back to Jerusalem, not to Washington, DC.  Fourth, Jesus returns back to the earth to Jerusalem.  Fifth, the judgment of Babylon takes place in a period of one hour, which is 11-12 noon Jerusalem time.  And, sixth, those in the land of Babylon are sleeping, and it's just before the morning.  This locates this end-time Babylon in the Western Hemisphere!

      Jesus Christ taught that His return would take place immediately after the Tribulation Period, saying this in Matthew 24:29-31,  "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.   Second, Babylon is destroyed between the sixth vial judgment in Revelation 16 and the Battle of Armageddon in Revelation 19.  And, third, Jesus Christ returns to the Mount of Olives, not to Washington, DC.   Zechariah 14:1-4 states,  "Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south."  This program will help a person see these facts more clearly!

The fierce anger of the Lord is clearly seen at the return of Jesus Christ in Revelation 19.  Verses 11-21 declare,  "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh."  "The winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God" is clearly referred to in verse 15!

One name and/or title of the Antichrist is the Destroyer of the Gentiles in Jeremiah 4:7.  And, destruction is clearly found in this chapter, coupled with the fierce anger of the Lord at His return.  Verses 19-28 say,  "My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. 20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment. 21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet? 22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. 23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. 24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. 25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. 26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. 27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. 28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it."  His "fierce anger" is clearly spoken about in verse 26!

Many names and/or titles of the Antichrist are found in the Bible, one of them is located in Daniel 11:36, the Willful King.  Verses 36-39 talk about his false god, saying,  "And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. 37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. 38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. 39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory..."  The Hebrew word "strange" means "be not recognized," meaning the leaders in his country don't know anything about this god of his.  This episode will help you understand more clearly this false god of the Antichrist.
