Is the USA Babylon the Great as described in Revelations?

Answer 1

Nope, Babylon is a reference to Rome. Specifically Rome in the 1st Century. (possibly 2nd as well)

Answer 2

No, it's not the US. It is an empire though. The Bible mentions a woman with the name “Babylon the Great” written on her forehead. This woman is said to be sitting on “crowds and nations.” (Revelation 17:1, 5, 15) Since no literal woman could do this, Babylon the Great must be symbolic. It is also called a great "city." Since this “great city” has control over “the kings of the earth,” the woman named Babylon the Great must be an influential organization that is international. It can be called a world empire. An empire can be political, commercial, or religious. So which is she? "She" can't be political because she "commits fornication" with the "kings of the earth"(Rev.17:1,2) She can't be commercial because the "merchants of the earth" morn her when she is gone. That leaves religious. This is confirmed by the statement that she misleads all the nations by means of her “spiritistic practice.” (Revelation 18:23) Since Babylon the Great is opposed to true religion, persecuting “prophets” and “holy ones,” (Revelation 18:24) Babylon the Great clearly represents the world empire of false religion.

Answer 3

No...Babylon the Great is the entire empire of false religion...the is what ancient Babylon was so known for...all of it's false religions.

Babylon the Great is the entire world empire of false religion. She includes all religions that preserve the religious teachings and practices of ancient Babylon and that manifest her spirit.

2 It was at Babylon, more than 4,000 years ago, that Jehovah confused the tongues of the would-be builders of the Tower of Babel. The different language groups were scattered to the ends of the earth, taking with them the apostate beliefs and practices that are the basis of most religions to this day. (Genesis 11:1-9) Babylon the Great is the religious part of Satan’s organization. (Compare John 8:43-47.) Her most prominent segment today is apostate Christendom, which emerged as a powerful, lawless organization in the fourth century after Christ, with creeds and formalisms derived, not from the Bible, but largely from Babylonish religion.—2 Thessalonians 2:3-12.

3 You may ask, ‘Since religion still exercises great influence in the earth, why does the angel announce that Babylon the Great has fallen?’ Well, what resulted after 539 B.C.E. when ancient Babylon fell? Why, Israel was freed to return to its homeland and restore true worship there! So the restoration of spiritual Israel in 1919 to a radiant spiritual prosperity, which continues and expands to this day, stands as evidence that Babylon the Great fell in that year. No longer does she have power of restraint over God’s people. Moreover, she has come into deep trouble within her own ranks. Since 1919 her corruption, dishonesty, and immorality have been widely exposed. In most of Europe, few people go to church anymore, and in some socialistic countries, religion is regarded as “the opium of the people.” Disgraced in the eyes of all lovers of God’s Word of truth, Babylon the Great now waits on death row, as it were, for the execution of Jehovah’s righteous judgment on her.

Answer 4

No. It is the Vatican in Rome. Observe the seven hills it describes. The Book of Revelation came out during the Roman Rule; for John the divine to be saved from the wrath of the church, he used Babylon as the methaphor for anyone who can understand. Read the Beast that has fatal wounds and the wounds was healed. Who in the New Testament was the man ever had the fatal wounds and lived again?

Answer 5

It's not possible for America to be Babylon, because Babylon is consistently described as a city (not a country) in Revelation:

Rev. 14:18 "And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon is fallen, is fallen, THAT GREAT CITY, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

Rev. 17:5 "And on her forehead a name was written: 'MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.' ... 18 And the woman whom you saw is that great CITY which reigns over the kings of the earth.”

Rev. 17:9 tells us this great city sits on 7 hills or mountains. There is only one such city in all the world: Vatican City. I'm not saying that the Catholic Church as it exists today is the "Whore of Babylon," but it seems clear that the false religious system set up during the Tribulation will be centered there.

The only possible reference to America in the Bible can be found at Ezekiel 38:13: the U.S. is one of the "young lions" of Tarshish (the British Empire).

Answer 6

False religon makes up Babylon the Great.

Answer 7

Ancient Babylon was the center of false religion in its day.

Babylon the Great represents the world empire of false religion including Christendom.

She is also called a "harlot" because she has fornicated herself with the nations. We can see this to be true with Christendoms involvement in politics and world affairs.

Rev. 18: 4 says "Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues."

Answer 8

The USA has a good chance of being Babylon because of the false religons we have in our country we have so many different denominations and they can't even get along so where is the love of God in all of this anyway, if we are all in love with God like we are suppose to be what is going on here,Jesus said till we all come together one mind and one accord in him, so i ask again were is the love of God in his people?

Answer 9

No
It is the world empire of all false religion, of which Christendom is a major part.
The political "wild beast" will soon turn against this "harlot" and completely destroy her.
Soon, the voices of brides and bridegrooms will be heard in her no more.------ "The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived." Revelation 18:23

May God's judgement against her come quickly.

Answer 10

The US isn't IN the Bible.
Which means we will no longer be a factor in world politics in the End Days.
