If American Christians believe that we are in the last days, then isnt America Modern Babylon?

Question

because she is the sole super power in the world.

it did enslave the descendants of the 12 sons of Israel.

actually you are the fool!

Answer 1

Geez, if this is Babylon, kill me now so I can get it over with.

Answer 2

The last days are the whole time period between the first coming of Jesus and the second coming. We don't know when the end-times are going to happen. Babylon I think is a symbol of the world system which is influenced by Satan and his demons. Babylon is all of the false religions created by man, the lusts of the flesh, greed, materialism, hedonism, etc.... www.equip.org

Answer 3

Wow, you haven't even read the Book of Revelation have you?

The text says:

Revelation 17:1-5: "One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me 'Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters. With her the kings of the earth commidtted adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.' The the angel carred me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. This title was written on her forehead: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

You could sit all day and say "Wow, they could mean this country, or this one...". Take for instance this link:

http://www.euro.ecb.int/en/section/euro0/specific.GR.html

If you notice it shows the "country-specific" side of the Euro in Greece. Take a look at the very top one... what is it? A woman, astride a bull.

Do some research, you'll find all sorts of crazy things out there.

America... IS the 'New World' of prophecy.
Thomas51 His disciples said to him, "When will the rest for the dead take place, And when will the New World come?"
He said to them, "What you are looking forward to has come, but... you don't know it."
(Welcome to the already established New World)

(It also is the prophecy; Heavenly Kingdom on Earth.)
(Heb 11:13-16)All 'these people' were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. (a future incarnation) And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. IF THEY HAD BEEN THINKING OF THE COUNTRY THEY HAD LEFT,
THEY WOULD HAVE HAD OPPORTUNITY TO RETURN.
Instead they were longing for a better country - a heavenly one.
Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God,
For he has prepared a city for them.
(A city on Earth in an alien nation /U.S.... where he will be born again/reincarnated)

(Job 33:28-30)'He has redeemed my soul from going to the pit, And my life shall see the light.' Behold,.. God does all these oftentimes with men,to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of life. (Enlightening isn't it?)

John10:5 And a stranger will they not follow...
but will flee from him, for they know not the Voice of Strangers.

"Goodbye Stranger" by Supertramp (Breakfast in America album)

"It was an early morning yesterday. I was up before the dawn.
And I really have enjoyed my stay... but I must be moving on.
Like a King without a castle, like a Queen without a throne.
I'm an early morning lover... and I must be moving on.
Now I believe in what you say... is the Undisputed Truth.
But I have to have things my own way.
To keep me in my youth.
Like a ship without an anchor... like a slave without a chain.
Just the thought of those sweet ladies.
Sends a shiver through my veins.
And I will go on shining... shining like brand new.
I'll never look behind me... my troubles will be few.
Goodbye Stranger... it's been nice.
Hope you find your Paradise.
Tried to see your point of view.
Hope your dreams will... all come true.
Goodbye Mary. Goodbye Jane.
Will we ever.... meet again.
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame.
Come tommorrow feel no pain.
Now some they do, and some they don't.
And some you just can't tell.
And some they will and some they won't... with some it's just as well.
You can laugh at my behavior... that'll never bother me.
Say the devil is my savior... but I don't pay no heed.
And I will go on shining... shining like brand new.
I'll never look behind me... my troubles will be few.
Goodbye Stranger it's been nice...."

Answer 5

America is my adopted home land, so she has her faults but believe me, certain countries in Europe qualify to be called modern Babylon. Prostitution is legal, live sex shows ( not taped), and don't get me started on abortion practices as common as walking into practitioners house, etc.

America is a lady just doing the best and right things she can, how she and when she can.

Answer 6

Hey Judith, are you really that ignorant and narrow minded to believe that all Americans are of lower intelligence? I totally agree with you about Bush, but so does most of America. Next time, before you pass judgment and overgeneralize, you might want to get a clue. Sometimes it's wiser to say nothing at all, especially when you have no idea what you're talking about dear.

Answer 7

Know This:
Iraq is making plans this day to rebuild Babylon.
Israel is making plans to rebuild the temple.

Now what fool told you we enslaved the any of the tribes of Israel?

Answer 8

any society based on what america, or any other world empire from the past was based on, would have drawn contempt from the writers of the bible.
this is something that most americans, europeans and christians and jews don't think about too much. the authors would have seen us as people who had turned away; slideing backwards down the hills.

Answer 9

In revelation babylon is mentioned as the WORLD empire of false religion!

Answer 10

Babylon was where the Jews were enslaved. The US does not enslave Jews.

Answer 11

It's not a popular American beliefe but I believe America is the Great Prostitute.
