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:

1. 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)
2. Is lone super power of the world, “Queen among nations.” (Isa 14:4-6, 47:5; Jer 50:9, 23)
3. Would be an END TIME GREAT NATION. (Isa 13:6; Revelation 17:18)
4. Is called a lady; the symbol of the Lady "LIBERTY" on money and sits in the New York Harbor. (Isa  47:7-9)
5. Destroys her own people [abortion], land, with pollution and waste. (Isa 14:20, 18:2)
6.  Has a huge aviation program. (Isa 14:13-14, 18:1; Jer 51:53)
7.  Is a REPUBLIC or a DEMOCRACY, ruled and wearied by many counsels. (Isa 47:13)
8.  Labored in the occult, astrology from her very inception (Isa 47:12; Rev 18:2)
9. Is a nation of perverted higher education and learning. (Isa 47:10)
10. Born as a Christian nation; her enemy will lie on the opposite side of the world. (Isa 13:5; Jer 50:11-12)
11. Peoples continually focus on pleasures thinking they are great, God's elect and eternal. (Isa 47:7-8)
12. Would be praised by the WHOLE EARTH. (Jer 51:41)
13.  Is a nation filled with warehouses and granaries. (Jer 50:26; Rev. 18:11-13)
14.  Is noted for immigrants and men as women. (Jer 50:37; Hab 1:6)
15.  Is noted for her livestock and treasures. (Rev 18:13)

America, The Babylon #9  
Revelation 17:12 we see the explanation of what/who are the ten horns. They are ten 'kings' [leaders] in context, the verse says these 'kings' have no kingdom as yet and they receive power for one hour; and are in unanimous agreement giving all authority of their respective governments to the 'beast.' These ten kings represent ten nations who have entered into some sort of prior alliance or treaty; perhaps this is NATO or the central core of the EU.  Revelation 17:14 tells us they have decided to go to war against 'the Lamb.'  [We know from numerous scriptural texts that the Lamb is the Lord Jesus Christ.] More ...

America, The Babylon Installment #10 [final]
Babylon's Identity and Demise
Revelation Chapter 18
 
Coombes has endeavored to show evidence confirming the theory that the USA is the end time Babylon. We will look at the meanings and definitions of the words used in scripture and see references to satanic activity in Babylon/America. We see birds described as 'hateful' ... birds of prey that are considered symbols of the satanic rebel forces; the choice of words is important. This scripture defines Babylon as 'great' = MEGAS! [Strongs #3173] Revelation 17 & 18 has many references to 'mega'! More ...
