(For example, see 1 Kings 22.) With that in mind, there seem to be (and have been, for a while, now) a lot of folks who claim that the USA is Mystery Babylon and that she is going to be destroyed, soon, as a result of all of her fornications (idolatries). Also, since the Word of יהוה calls Mystery Babylon a city, logically, that seems to eliminate the nation of the USA (as a whole) as a possible candidate for the city of Mystery Babylon.Īs in the days leading up to the Babylonian captivity in Israel, there seem to be far more false prophets than true prophets, and the majority of people will probably believe the false prophets over any true prophets of יהוה. Thus, if the USA were to be destroyed, now, then it could not be the city of Babylon foretold in the Bible. As my articles about Iran and the Antichrist illustrate, the nation whose kings will destroy Babylon does not exist, yet. It is the kings of one of the coming nations that will destroy the city ( Revelation 17:18) of Mystery Babylon ( Revelation 17:16-17).
(Indeed, it seems highly likely that Iran may be fulfilling the role of the first nation in that series of nations.) My previous articles about Iran and the Antichrist illustrate that the Word of יהוה clearly predicts a final series of nations that will arise in the Middle East. If the USA gets Destroyed Now, it is Not Babylon
