Bible Question: What does this verse mean? Sounds like WTC |
Bible Answer: Yes, I am wanting to discuss this parallel with someone. The one answer I received to my question, which was similar to yours, felt like a brush-off to me. I think we have just seen this prophecty fulfilled, maybe others have thought so in the past and have been wrong, but nevertheless one of these days it will come true. Babylon cannot be the ancient city of Babylon in Iraq because Isaiah 13:20 says that the original Babylon will NEVER be inhabited again. It had alreadyt been destroyed when John saw his REVELATION . I had the thought seeing the WTC destroyed IN AN HOUR, before I read over Rev. 17-Rev.18-20. It seems as if there will be another event in Rev. 18:21 to flood the place. Remember the hole in the Chicago River, ABC reported STC's architects being concerned about the retaining wall of the Hudson River and the land fill area to the west of the WTC. I would like to talk about this with you. |
