Scroggs Many hold that the Babylon of Rev. is in fact Babylon rebuilt. They further believe Isaiah was seeing the immediate future with the Medes destroying the city and the distant future where God will destroy it. Others see this prophecy as coming to past gradually, where it will finally become desolate. Many Arabs will not spend a night in the city believing it is haunted. In any case for New York and the WTC to fulfill Revelation prophecy the devastation would have to been even more extensive. The devastation described in Revelation is the total collapse of commerce, economics, and trade in general for the City Babylon. While all of this was severely impacted by the WTC attacks we know none of the destruction occurred to such completeness. Again not trying to downplay the horrendous nature of what took place, or to minimize the seriousness or violence of the attacks we tend to hold an overly magnified view of America in relation to rest of the world. Especially in light of Biblical prophecy which is devoid of any mention of United States or America. David Wilkerson explained this lack of mention of America in prophecy as being caused by a previous financial collapse of America either through reckless manipulation of the financial market or by internal anarchy. That to me is a far more likely scenario, especially in light of the house of cards we call Wall Street, designed and built by men that cared for little more that today’s profits. |

I appreciate your thoughtful answer. We don't yet know the end of the events which began on Sept. 11. Will wait and see, watch and pray, and not forget the urgency to reach the unsaved that I feel. I agree about the ethnocentricity or egocentricity of Americans, however our influence on the world is very large due to the times we live in--electronic media has spread our culture around the world. Ask expatriates overseas, who will probably say that the term "Americanization" is used to describe any social problem or decadence of any cause. Partly, I base my opinions on the belief that we are the generation living in the last days, do you think so, too? |

But I still don't think New York is Babylon nor was this attact what is descibed in Rev 18 |
