Critique My Friends Theory (New Babylon)

People have been saying this forever about whatever country they're in. Like they said that shit when women started wearing pants regularly instead of dresses.

There's no Biblical doom here, just an economic system eating itself alive.

Revelation chapter 13, speaks of religious persecution and intolerance will be everywhere because Babylon (the coalition of religious leaders) will be determined to appease God at any cost.

Babylon in Revelation chapter 19, symbolizes the wickedness of the world, and will be destroyed at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. If we follow God's command to come out of Babylon, we will not partake of the sins of the world, nor be overtaken in the plagues that will destroy it.

The covenant (New World Order) is yet to be signed; therefore, the Tribulation period has not started. The Tribulation will begin when the Antichrist signs a seven-year covenant with Israel. He will not fully honor that covenant but will break it in the middle of the 7 years, according to Daniel’s Vision – (see Dan 9:27). As soon as that New World Order is signed, according to scripture, that will usher in the tribulation period.

I believe he's not far off but new Babylon isn't just the US. Still trying to discern this but globalisation definitely fits the description of new Babylon.

It's a case of discerning what we are shown but we cannot know it all and will not know God's timings. Therefore anyone claiming to know is a false prophet and only leads people astray.

I'm also unsure if the rapture occurs prior to the 7 plagues and fall of new Babylon or sometime during or after. While the events are clear the sequence hasn't been shown to me.

This is the evangelical's version of American exceptionalism. I don't buy it. There are plenty of nations out there just as well behaved as the US - it's not all that hard because we're not all that well behaved.

Honestly, instead of trying to serve "the least of these my brethren," Americans try to build a wall to keep them out.


The true answer for American policy is NEVER.

Your friend gives the United States too much credit. They greatly underestimate the power of China and the liberal-ness of other nations that exceeds the United States 🤷🏻‍♀️

When something is a real theory, it means data can be collected and designed tests made. If tests can’t be created for any reason, then it’s speculation not theory.

Bob Marley. Babylon By Bus.
Me since 1980- I live in Babylon, and try to explain the way out to the confused captives.

That's not even close.
We're much closer to Sodom and Gomorrah that New Babylon.

Ignoring Revelations as shamanistic ramblings of little relevance even in their own place and time, the USA's attempt to control other countries is fading partly by her own fault, but wasn't she one of the founders of the UN you clearly do not like?

If his hypothesis (it’s not a theory since it can’t be tested) is based on the collection of ignorant scribbling cobbled together by a pagan Roman emperor generally known as the Bible, it’s full of shit.

Americans really want America to be important.

Why do Christians get hard at the thought of doomsdays, they all been doing this for 2,000 years give it a rest.

...why?
