Scripture for Today, 12-18-20: Mystery Babylon

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.

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.
