America Mystery Babylon?
The great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods He hath broken unto the ground because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

Isaiah 21:9; Revelation 14:8, 16:17-8, 19, 17:3-5; Jeremiah 51:1-2

UPDATE: 1-4-20, Another Bible scholar who understands that scripture is pointing to America as mystery Babylon. Excerpt:

"No other nation has been the policeman of the world, as has the USA. Some will call us colonialist, or aggressors, but we have fought endless wars to promote human rights and democracy into all nations that we have fought wars in. I think of WW1 and WW2, the Vietnam War, the Gulf Wars, the invasion of Iraq, and Afghanistan to rid ourselves of communism and terrorism after 9/11 and the destruction of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Each and every time, world conditions and evil men have drawn America into fighting in foreign lands. Some will argue for no good reason and illusions of WMD’s and money to be made from military hardware, but the point of the passage is that no other nation on earth can be called the hammer of the whole earth, like the USA has been and still is…but notice verse 24? A snare has been laid and our destruction is sure. Now some will say, that this passage deals with ancient Babylon, but remember, scripture reveals what happened in the past, will happen in the future, as a duality of prophecy. I believe this is one such passage, but there is much more. -- MIKE TAYLOR here

6-24-19, The Bible talks about a dominant city or nation in the last days that is a major center of commerce that will be destroyed. Many believe it’s referring to the Vatican in Rome; they're wrong there are many reason's why they're wrong the main one they speak of is the '7 mountains' of Revelation 17:9… the area of the Vatican is surrounded by 7 hills. ... there are no mountains in Rome. To hold that view 98% of the scripture referring to it must be ignored.

Following are the top verses and facts confirming the view that America is Mystery Babylon:

Is the most respected and envied around the world and yet at the same time is hated by the world. A nation "peeled", or timbered, a land of open fields and many waters; rivers. (Isaiah 18:2; Jer 51:13; Rev 17:1, 18:17-19)

There is no other city or nation on earth that could fulfill all these requirements other than the United States of America. It's truly amazing that there are so many preachers and churches that proclaim that America isn't mentioned in the Bible? Ridiculous. Ezekiel 38:18-23 God's warning.

Scripture for Today, 4-4-20: Obedience

"Restoration Promised to Israel
While in prison a second time the Lord's word came to the prophet Jeremiah: The Lord is the Creator; if you call on Him He will answer. He will show great and mighty things you don't know. The wickedness of the house of Judah caused her to be thrown down by war, many He slew in His fury. However, He will bring health, peace and truth. He will cause Israel to return and cleanse them from their iniquity as they sinned against the Lord. Israel shall be to Me a name of joy praise and honor before all the earth's nations. They shall hear of all the good the Lord does unto them and they shall tremble for all the goodness and prosperity He provided. In former times this place was desolate; no man or beast in Jerusalem. There will be joy and gladness as the voice of the bride and bridegroom and they shall say, "Praise the Lord for He is good and His mercy endures forever!" In the land of Benjamin, Jerusalem and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again.
v23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, He hath also rejected thee .."

Jeremiah 33:1-13, 19-21; 1 Samuel 15:23; Proverbs 15:3

The Holy Bible Old Testament admonitions toward the wickedness of Israel; sure sounds like the Prophets Jeremiah and Samuel are speaking about the depraved world of 2020. Who can deny that the horrors we now suffer were brought on by the behaviors and blaspheming we commonly see in America and the entire world today?

1662-1714 AD, Matthew Henry -- Those who expect to receive comforts from God, must obey and call upon Him. Promises are given, not to do away, but to quicken and encourage prayer. These promises lead us to the gospel of Christ; and in that God has revealed truth to direct us. All who by repentance, sanctifying grace are cleansed from the filth of sin, by pardoning mercy are freed from the guilt. When sinners are thus justified, washed, sanctified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Holy Spirit; they are enabled to walk before God in peace and purity.

Many are led to perceive the real difference between the people of God and the world around them, and to fear the Divine wrath. It is promised that the people who were long in sorrow, shall again be filled with joy if they again return to the good graces of the Almighty. Where the Lord gives righteousness and peace, He will give all needful supplies for temporal wants; and all we have will be comforts, as sanctified by the word and by prayer.

"The eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars."
2 Chronicles 16:9

FORCING RUSSIA TO ACTION?
Mystery Babylon?

Accusing and Abusing Russia Over Syria:
Will she retaliate?

4-6-17, With all the USA hype and exaggerated claims about Russia's 'aggression' with NATO poised on her borders; it makes perfect sense that Russia would take action to protect herself. In 2015 President Putin announced Russia's deployment of 40 new ICBMs able to overcome even the most technically advanced anti-missile defense systems. [1]

During Obama's reign, the EU & USA imposed economic sanctions against Russia [suspicious CIA behaviors] over Crimea & Ukraine. US Sec Def Ashton Carter declared that NATO must stand up against – what else – “Russian aggression.” When he was asked what aggression? He made various comments about Russia's disobedience to the world's commands [2].

Currently the fake media and liberal leftist American hating Democrats continue to hype fear about Russia's possible interference in Donald Trump's election. Why? Apparently it's a tool focused on removing him from office. It matters not that certain officials in high places have stated there is no evidence to support the claims. [3]

New troubles lurk as yesterday, April 5, 2017, Pres Trump's strong condemnation of Syria & Russia based on the unsubstantiated reports from Syria - about Russia's involvement in Assad's brutal [unconfirmed] killing by gas of innocent civilians. Now Sec State Tillerson said plans are being made to remove Syria's leader Assad. Clearly things are heating up as Russia and Syria both deny any involvement in killing civilians.*

Is America 'Mystery Babylon' destined for destruction? **

In the Bible's Book of Revelation, Chapter 18 it speaks of a city or nation called “Babylon” that - in one hour - is destroyed by fire and plagued with “death, mourning and famine.” Is that nation America?

Many US citizens and others believe that the United States is too great a nation to fail. They erroneously believe there are too many safeguards and now that President Trump is in the saddle - he will keep us safe as he said he would. Really?

There are many discussions and disagreements about this topic examining Saudi Arabia as an additional candidate. However, many scriptures in Isaiah, Jeremiah and John show that Saudi Arabia [SA] cannot be 'Mystery Babylon' here are just five verses [there are hundreds]:

"How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!" Jeremiah 50:23 [When was SA the 'hammer of the whole earth?']
"Babylon would be a home to multitudes of Jews." Jer 50:4-6 [When were multitudes of Jews living in SA?]
"O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures." Jer 51:12-14, Rev 17:1 [SA doesn't dwell upon many waters. The sentence "sitteth upon many waters" in Strongs it's #5204 which is figurative for many peoples. America is the melting pot of the world as far as immigration - SA won't even take the Muslim Syrian refugees.]
"And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:" Rev 18:11 [When has SA been a great producer and exporter of goods?]
"How much she hath glorified herself and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow." Rev 18:7 [SA has never been 'glorified' as a nation; has it? And now our Pres Trump is REALLY harping about how great the USA is.]

There is no other city or nation on earth that could fulfill these requirements other than the United States of America. All of the events currently transpiring are leading up to bigger event that will change the world as we know it.

If you have never surrendered and turned to the Lord Jesus for salvation; do it now. Even so, come Lord Jesus.

*SYRIA: 4-6-17, An American review of radar and other assessments showed Syrian aircraft flying in the area at the time of the attack. Russian and US coalition aircraft were not there; so where are they getting the intel? Britain, France and the United States presented a draft resolution demanding a full investigation of the suspected Syrian gas attack, but Russia said the text was “categorically unacceptable.” The draft resolution backs a probe by the Organization of the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and demands that Syria cooperate to provide information on its military operations on the day of the assault. Russia’s Deputy Ambassador Vladimir Safronkov told the council that the proposed resolution was hastily prepared and unnecessary, but voiced support for an inquiry.

Russia introduces draft UNSC resolution on Idlib Syria attack investigation of the alleged chemical attack in Idlib to the UN Security Council in response to the document prepared by the US, UK and France.

2-26-17 Series, America, Mystery Babylon? #1
From the Late Richard Coombes Book:
"America, The Babylon"

10-16-16, 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.

America, The Babylon #4 [I've listed all of #4]
How can we determine the identity of this future Babylon? We examine the scriptural texts provided to us through the prophecies from Jeremiah & Isaiah. We analyze them for identifying characteristics that may describe Babylon in some way. There are 33 identifying markers that
have given us descriptive aspects of this future Babylon so it's recognizable today. [Assuming of course that the time is near for the fulfillment of these prophecies.]

The Bible talks about a dominant city or nation in the last days that is a major center of commerce that will be destroyed. Many believe it’s referring to the Vatican in Rome; they're wrong … the area of the Vatican is surrounded by 7 hills. (Rev 17:9) There are no mountains in Rome. To hold that view you basically ignore 98% of the scripture referring to it and hold to only ONE verse about the seven hills that's easily discredited. Following are top twenty verses confirming the view America is Mystery Babylon:

Is the most respected and envied around the world and yet at the same time is hated by the world. A nation "peeled", or timbered, a land of open fields and many waters; rivers. (Isaiah 18:2; Jer 51:13 ; Rev 17:1, 18:17-19)
