That Mystery Babylon does not refer to Iraq is borne out very well when you look at all the details found in Revelation 17-18 and the parallel prophecies such as Jeremiah 50-51. Further, how can you reasonably describe Babylon, Iraq today as “ great,” especially after Iraq has been defeated twice in recent decades by the American-led coalition and occupied by the same? 60 Characteristics of Mystery Babylon

Revelation 17:5 (HCSB) - On her forehead a cryptic name was written: BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE VILE THINGS OF THE EARTH.īabylon is Babylon, but what about “mystery Babylon” (KJV)? Or as modern versions render it, “a cryptic name.Babylon the Great?” Mystery/cryptic Babylon must refer to something else or there is no mystery. Revelation 17:5 (KJV) - And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. However, what if such a familiar place were embellished in a prophecy with a modifier to subtly clue you in that it was not really literally that place? Further, what if the prophecy went on to describe distinct characteristics of this place that did not match the Biblical location under the same base name? Of course, what I have in mind when I say all this is this prophecy: How could the prophets possibly be talking about some Western nation when they constantly use names of places we already know of in the Middle East?įor example, Babylon is Babylon, still in Iraq to this day. When you think about it, this is a reasonable position since the Bible seemingly can only talk about cities and nations in the Middle East such as Damascus, Nineveh, Egypt and Babylon. If you ask most Christians where America is in end times Bible prophecy, they will either say that they have no idea or that they were taught that America is not there.

Except.how can God judge a nation who does so much good and not judge so many arguably worse nations like China or Iran? How can Babylon be a nation when it says it’s a “city?” Where is the blood of slain prophets “found in her?” These common objections and more are us why you never need to fear being trapped or unaware in America when she is about to be burned. There is no better, plain and literal fulfillment of Jeremiah's and Revelation's Daughter / Mystery Babylon than America whether you compare it to Saudi Arabia, Mecca, the Vatican, Rome, Iraq or anywhere else. Is America, the most dominant and influential nation of the end times, really not found in Bible prophecy as most Christians are told? If that doesn’t sound right to you, then you are not alone.
