Critique My Friends Theory (New Babylon)

My best friend has theorized that the USA is what the Bible refers to as "New Babylon" and that the Book of Revelation will come to pass once the USA falls to darkness (the UN, or foreign powers). He claims as the beacon of light in an otherwise dreary world, the fall of the US as a world power will signal Jesus second coming. Discuss.

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.

@ElwoodBlues Keep them out - or try to tell them how to live their lives!
