America, Daughter of Babylon: Why America will be the first to fall
In
all of written history there has never existed a country greater and
more blessed of God than the United States of America. During America's
brief history since gaining her independence in 1776, no other country in
the world had attained her power, wealth, productivity, medical, and
technological advancements, and there was a time when all the nations of
the world had acknowledged her supremacy. But now, because of several
developing factors, it appears that the more powerful nations of the
world are all beginning to lose faith in her, and have begun
plotting against her. These developing factors are now converging together to bring America to her demise, and God is also getting ready to judge her severely. Her utter destruction in one hour is a predestined prophesy that has been
thoroughly written about in Scriptures, and of which many prophets
of God are currently warning us about. The entire 47th chapter of Isaiah
describes this judgment.
Isaiah 47:1-15 Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no more be called tender and delicate. Take the millstones and grind meal, remove your veil, take off the skirt, uncover the thigh, and pass through the rivers. Your nakedness shall be uncovered; yes, your shame will be seen. I will take vengeance, and no man shall stand against me, as for our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is His name, the Holy One of Israel. Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no longer be called The Lady of Kingdoms. I was angry with my people; I have polluted my inheritance and given them into your hand, and you showed them no mercy; on the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily. And you said, “I shall be a lady forever,” so that you did not take these things to heart, nor remembered the latter end of them. Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures, who dwell securely, who say in your heart, “I am, and there is no one else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow,nor shall I know the loss of children”; But these two things shall come to you in a moment, in one day: the loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come upon you in their fullness because of the multitude of your sorceries, for the great abundance of your enchantments. For you have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, “No one sees me”; your wisdom and your knowledge have warped you; and you have said in your heart, “I am, and there is no one else besides me.” Therefore evil shall come upon you; you shall not know from where it arises, and trouble shall fall upon you; you will not be able to put it off. And desolation shall come upon you suddenly, which you shall not know. Stand now with your enchantments and the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth-- perhaps you will be able to profit; perhaps you will prevail. You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels; let now the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators stand up and save you from what shall come upon you. Behold, they shall be as stubble, the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame; it shall not be a coal to be warmed by, nor a fire to sit before! Thus shall they be to you with whom you have labored; your merchants from your youth; they shall wander each one to his quarter. No one shall save you.
Compare America today from America of the 1950’s; it is utterly shameful how American society and her moral standards have degraded. Look at Hollywood; child abuse, pedophilia, and pornography; abortion, the greed of the Elite; the thievery of Wall Street. Look at the idolatry; idol worship! It is everywhere! Look how America has embraced homosexuality, while removing every mention of God from our schools and public meeting places. Look at the mega-churches, their wealth and greed, and their apostasy; how they love to preach of prosperity with their watered-down Gospel. History is repeating itself, as the false prophets of Jeremiah's day were doing before God destroyed them.
Jeremiah 8:11 For they [the false teachers] have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, Saying, "Peace, peace!" When there is no peace.
Jeremiah 3:8 Then I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but went and played the harlot also.
Just as God used the Babylonian armies in helping Him destroy the 12 tribes of Israel in 587 BC, God will also use the armies of the world today to destroy America.
Jeremiah 5:15 Behold, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, says the Lord: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know, nor can you understand what they say.
America used to be the apple of God’s eye; look how the Lord blessed her; but because America has now completely trampled over and ignored God’s will, God will Judge her. As Luke 12 declares that to those whom God has given much, much is required, much was also required of America.
Luke 12:48 For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.
But God has promised to deliver Zion, which is His Elect, His Bride, from the destruction of the daughter of Babylon.
Zechariah 2:7 Up, Zion! Escape!You who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
1 Thessalonians 5:3-11 For when they shall say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day; be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us; that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.
