I would agree with you that sudden
nuclear destruction is most likely to hit New York
City one day in the future, and it is possible that
the Rapture will take place just before the nuclear
destruction of some city or multiple cities at the
same time. However, Mystery, Babylon, the Great is
not destroyed just after the Rapture takes place. It
is destroyed after the 7th vial of God's wrath is
poured out by the 7th angel, and a great earthquake
takes place that divides the city into 3
parts. Below are the Bible verses of when the
destruction of Mystery Babylon, the Great takes
place:
Revelation 16:17-21, "And the seventh angel poured
out his vial into the air; and there
came a
great voice out
of the temple of
heaven, from the throne, saying,It
is done. And there
were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there
was a
great earthquake, such
as was not since men were upon the earth, so
mighty an
earthquake, and so great. And the great city was
divided into three parts, and the cities of
the nations fell: and great Babylon came
in remembrance before God, to
give unto
her the cup of
the wine of
the fierceness of
his wrath. And every island fled
away, and the
mountains were not found. And there
fell upon men a
great hail out
of heaven, every stone about the
weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because
of the plague of
the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great."
Also New York City
is not located on 7 hills or 7
mountains like Rome and Mecca
are as described in the 2
following verses:
Rev. 17:3, "So he
carried me away in the
spirit into the
wilderness: and I
saw a
woman sit upon a
scarlet coloured beast, full
of names of
blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns."
Rev. 17:9, "And here is the mind which hath
wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which
the
woman sitteth." Rev. 18:24 says, "And in her was
found the
blood of
prophets, and of
saints, and of
all that
were slain upon the earth."
There is no blood of the prophets found in New
York City so this is one more reason to believe
that New York City is not Mystery, Babylon the
Great.
