Is America Babylon?

It was many years ago when I first heard that America was Babylon. At the time, I thought, we are bad but we are not Babylon and dismissed it.

Over the years I would hear it a bit more here and there and began to consider it more seriously as I saw the revealing way people dress, the sex and violence in popular music, the occasional redeeming television show that was interspersed with blatant, perverse and sexually enticing commercials pushing their regular line up. So when I bought a prophecy book several months ago and the author said America is Babylon I realized, I had not only changed my mind, I truly believed it.

But what of mainstream America? Do they have a clue we are headed for destruction as foretold in Isaiah 13, Jeremiah 51 and Revelation 18? You cannot drive very far without seeing a church but how many of the people who worship across the land believe or imagine America is headed for judgment? Did 911 change anything in the hearts and minds of most people?

Ancient Babylon was a city in Mesopotamia between the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers and the capital of the Babylonian Empire, the area now called Iraq. Most people will agree it is also a false religious system with numerous speculations pointing to Roman Catholic Church or the one world religion that unites all faiths, etc.

How many believe it is also a geographic place and the United States poised for destruction through the judgment of God?
