America, Mystery Babylon?

10/16/2016

Series From the Late Richard Coombes Book:
"America, The Babylon"

Picture
 "... Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation 
of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every 
unclean and hateful bird." Revelation 18:2 [1]
***

On July 31, 2013, By email to Richard A. Coombes, I requested permission to share excerpts from his book 'America, The Babylon.' Then on 8-2-13, I learned that on July 30, 2013 Brother Coombes had passed into the bosom of our Lord Jesus. His step-daughter, Kim and I had a telephone conversation when she gave me her approval to publish excerpts/summaries from the book. 

Although 
Richard's conclusions are controversial; as they are speculations of who/what is 'Mystery Babylon,' you may agree that the research and data he compiled in his eleven year study is valuable.

In my view, the geographical and other parallels make it logical
that the USA is the 'Mystery Babylon' of the Bible.

The Bible contains many predictions that are fulfilled and yet to be fulfilled. Example, Genesis 3 [1] contain fulfilled, partially fulfilled and future fulfillment prophecies:
  • Fulfilled: God will solve the sin problem restoring humanity to its original state of perfection; Jesus has provided the way
  • Unfulfilled: the completion of mankind's perfection

The history of 'ancient Babylon' ... the short version:
 
Archaeologists have determined the early Babylonians were called 'Sumerians'; their lands were in the Persian Gulf on the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys what is currently known as 'Iraq.' It extended into Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. In 5500 BC it is believed the lands were lush, green and had an abundance of water. The first king in recorded history was the king of Babylon, Nimrod. He was king during the attempted construction of the 'Tower of Babel.' The Bible is silent about the date for the building of the tower, but biblical scholars speculate it was between 3000-4000 BC. Nimrod's empire included the city of Babel; which would later be called 'Babylon.' The Biblical account of the Tower of Babel is recorded in Genesis 11:1-9 [2]
 
The people's intention building the tower of Babel was mankind's first attempt to develop a united human race into a one world societal structure; this was not God's plan, therefore He scattered the people. When the new nations developed they each adopted a different name for their god. Some of the stories/legends were altered slightly to fit a nation's cultural biases, but they retained the main premises and essential elements found in the original Babylonian concepts.

Parallels/Similarities of the USA and Ancient Babylon:
 
- it was a 'melting pot' of various conquered cultures
- it was in moral decline with corruption in leadership
- it was divided in three sections
- its culture was greatly influenced by international commerce/trade; all nations    needed and wanted to trade with Babylon's businessmen
- it was the commercial engine for the rest of the ancient world's economies
- geographically located between two great bodies of water [Tigris & Euphrates]
- natural defense with the land protected by the bodies of water
- preoccupied with military defense
- it was a leader in manufacturing and technological leader
