Subject: Rev. 18:9-19 sounds like WTC? |
Bible Note: I think Rev. 17 does fit. True, if NYC is Babylon it is not yet destroyed, but it could be that the events of Sept. 11 are the precipitating factors in a decline. As for the blood of the saints Mat.12:41 makes it sound as if saints are standing around the throne saying, "Look at those sinners, worse than we ever were." [Yes, I know the saints were saved from Ninevah, not Babylon, and "this generation" probably refers to the first century. However, many prophecies have their fulfillment at the time, during the coming of Christ, and also during the second coming. The Lord seems to be helping me understand the books by the minor prophets, which I have always ignored before. Time will tell. It doesn't influence anything but our sense of urgency for the unsaved. |
