Answer 2

No Babylon as described in Revelation is talking about an apostate religious system.

In Revelation 17 Babylon is described as a woman and if you read verse 18 it says “And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.”

What city reigned over the world when the John was writing the book of Revelation?

D. She persecuted and martyred the saints (verse 6).

Answer 3

the finished declare that the Earth become as quickly as going to end in 2012 is found on a *misinterpretation* of the Mayan calender, which seems to individuals that have not have been given any concept learn it to end in 2012. just about, the Mayan calender is a cyclic calender, which potential it runs in a cycle. (much like a motor vehicle's odometer, which, whilst it reaches 999,999 miles, will click back over and start up at 000,000 back.) The persons who're claiming that the Mayans estimated the right of the international are interpreting the Mayan calender as though it was a linear calender like ours. it rather is not. The Mayans did no longer anticipate the tip of the international. they did no longer make any claims of the variety. the folk who say that the Mayans mentioned some element like that would nicely be people who understand no longer something with regards to the Mayan custom, do no longer understand how you may examine the Mayan calender, and have no suggestion what they are talking approximately. the two potential, why all people would connect any variety of magnitude to a perceived "prediction" made by potential of an previous civilization that would no longer even anticipate this is very own downfall is previous logical comprehension. (now no longer that any end-time theorists interior the historic previous of mankind are easy for their easy experience or comprehension skills.) this is particularly baffling that it rather is Christians who seem to have grabbed directly to this, and use it to back up their faith's end-time fantasy, whilst below the different cases they might say that the Mayans ideals have been "fake ideals".

Answer 4

GOD give's certain people the GIFT to understand HIS WORD concerning different things. If you don't have the GIFT, then you are just guessing, and some of the PEOPLE with the GIFT, guess at some things too!!! It's tricky!!! Prophecy is not of private interpretation. AMERICA was raised up by GOD ALMIGHTY through the PROMISES made between HIMSELF and the PILGRAMS. GOD still honors those PROMISES, GOD is using AMERICA to send his people( missionary's, evangelist's etc.) into all the WORLD, AMERICA was raised up for this purpose(Platform to all the WORLD), if we don't REPENT for alot of our sin's, AMERICA could BECOME a Babylon. It's time to get back to GOD, and get this thing over with. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Well, since the Bible was written when America didn't exist yet, I'll still assume that the Bible was talking about the Middle Eastern world.
