One evening long ago, I was tired after writing about the three Babylons, Nimrod's, Nebuchadnezzar's and the False Prophet's all day. At twilight, I grabbed my closed Bible in my hand and threw myself down across the bed saying to myself, "Why am I doing all this work?"
Suddenly my Bible was open right under my face and a rectangle of light was on Jer. 50:2. It said, "Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces."
I had not turned on the light, and the closed draperies were heavy self-lined ones that did not let in any bright light.
The verse before it says, "The word that the LORD spake against Babylon and against THE LAND OF THE CHALDEANS by Jeremiah the prophet."
Babylon is in the land of the Chaldeans, a desert.
Jer 50:12 says, "Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a DESERT."
Rev 17:3 says, "So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness (eremos, DESERT): and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns."
Babylon is a city, not a country.
Rev 18:21 says, "And a mighty angel took up a stone (i.e., representing Wormwood, Satan's asteroid home, Rev 8:11) like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great CITY BABYLON be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all."
Isa 22:16-19 says, "What hast thou here (Babylon)? and whom hast thou here (the Satan-possessed False Prophet), that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he (Satan) that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock? 17 Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee. 18 He will surely violently turn and TOSS THEE LIKE A BALL into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house." 19 And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down."
It looks like the asteroid Wormwood will dig the Lake of Fire.
Rev_20:10 says, "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

Jim's article about Nathan Leal's amazing study reminded me of a book by Douglas Woodward entitled, Power Quest 2. In the book, Douglas cites another author named R.A. Coombes in his book, "America the Babylon". If I had not been already convinced that America is indeed Mystery Babylon, I would be after reading this. I have attached a scan of the two book pages. I think the author may be absolutely correct in saying that the Apostle John could very well have been standing aboard a ship in New York harbor when he described the Babylon of Revelation 18. I believe that Revelation 17 and 18 are describing the destruction of two different end time Babylons - one spiritual and the other economical - Rome and the USA. I don't think both chapters could be referring to one place because their descriptions and destruction are different. In my humble opinion, there is simply no other place in the world that qualifies as Mystery Babylon of Revelation 18, other than America. And I truly don't understand why some prophetic teachers believe it will be the old Babylon in Iraq. It is called Mystery Babylon for a reason....how could it be a mystery if it is the old Babylon? That doesn't make any sense to me.
Also, I am wondering if anyone else has watched Rabbi Jonathan Cahn's recent videos from the Jim Bakker Show. He was on for six days right after the election in November. Some of the information he gave made my mouth drop open. He also showed new pictures of the tree that was planted in New York City to commemorate 911 and was a huge part of his Harbinger books and video. That tree is as dead as a door knob now, along with everything else that was planted around it. My first thought when I saw the pictures was the verse of scripture about being "twice dead, plucked up by the roots". I think we are there guys.
