America to be destroyed? (page 2)

How insane is this?

I'm not qualified to answer, so I can only speculate: pretty fucking insane.

I believe Jerusalem was Babylon the Great, and Rome was the Wild Beast,

Unfortunately, the timing of Jerusalem's fall (70 CE)... and the Revelational prophecy... belie this interpretation, dear NRFG (peace to you!). Along with the fact that Babylon does not rise again after her destruction... while Jerusalem (and her influence) is more than alive and well (all things considered). Along with the fact that the wild beast in cast into the Lake of Fire along with the False Prophet... the latter of which still exists (false prophets about, dear one)... and Rome (via the RCC) still holds power over a great deal of the world.

While I don't doubt that "America" may indeed see some demise (perhaps huge, as she is a bit of a hare more than a tortoise and we know how that race ended)... and think dear STT's position is very interesting... unfortunately, both are inaccurate.

Again, peace to you!

Stop the tears why all the talk of America being destroyed?? Why not enjoy this life and stop worrying over things that may never happen.

Are you a JW because the pictures you post are very jw-ish.

Anybody and Everybody can spin an interpretation however they want. A few years ago, I did one just to show how easy one can splat his/her own "Jackson Pollock" perspective onto the canvass of the imagery in Revelation:

I'm starting this thread because someone on the "Is America Great" thread said the USA is Babylon the Great and proceeded to quote all the descriptions in Revelation and relate them to the US.

I just want (tongue in cheek, of course?) to show him and others how you could twist it the other way:

So, what if.....

#1 America is the New World. It's founding began with Christopher Columbus. It is a great crowd of people from all tongues and nationalities. It is the proverbial melting pot where people of all nations have gathered under one kingdom.

#2 Armageddon was the upheaval during the Middle Ages...the plagues, the revolutions, the wars, the oppressions, etc. etc.

#3 The lady that gave birth to the male child (Democracy) was Lady Liberty.

#4 Babylon the Great...False Christianity and the corruption of The Church.

#5 "Get out of her my people"....When people fled to the New World for religious freedom, to leave behind the false teach of the corrupted church.

#6 Just as God used severity in the Old Testament showing the violent, harsh, and militaristic side, discipline and severity is what has to take place to hone, shape, and perfect the people. They will go through a process of perfecting righteousness. (In the Kabbalah, there is the dualistic nature of mercy and severity. The equilibrating column is the middle where the Christ dwells.) This is why we see the severe side of God in the OT and the merciful side of God in the NT.

#7 Over a period of 1000 years, we will grow and learn and become perfected in the New World. While we may display our Severe side at first, we will grow and become perfected through Mercy and tolerance until the equilibrium is reached.

#8 Democracy will spread throughout the world. It will have birth pangs and distress, but it will spread until all nations of the earth have freedom and live in peace with one another, working together to solve problems of disease and sickness, poverty, despair, and yes, even death.

Okay...feel free to pick it apart. I'm just saying, this is another way you can interpret prophecy.

I quit!

I have gone through all of the passages that speak of her coming destruction and the one aspect that comes through the loudest to me is that at the time everything is continuing as normal. People are buying and selling and going on with life.

I've got news for you...what else can we do other than go on with life? That is about as much of a sign as saying people will be brushing their teeth when the end comes. It isn't a sign that the end is near. It is saying don't bother trying to predict it because there will be no way of telling.

To be honest with you I think it is all about ego that people think they are living in the last generation. For the past 2000 years there have always been people that thought that for whatever reasons they were special and they were last generation.

America is Babylon the Great?

How did America kill the prophets?

Babylon the Great is the dark cabal, the black-magic secret societies that have been ruling behind the scenes for thousands of years. They infiltrate religions, and they control the money. That's why the "traveling merchants" mourn for her, and she misleads by "sorcery".

Somewhere in the distance, the voice of dear STT goes, "Ohhhhh, yeah, huh..."

Peace to you all!

SA, who wishes to remind folks that it's not like a puzzle where one can get away with putting the wrong piece of "sky" in a place that LOOKS like it belongs there. ALL of the pieces have to fit, dear ones, not most of them.

Hi, Shelby (peace)....Name a piece...any piece of the puzzle that you choose and let's see how any one of us with an interest in this topic can/will "fit" it into the whole puzzle of interpretation. I would be curious as to the reason you might give as to why it cannot be right. This is a sincere "challenge".
