Babylon hasn't fallen......Apparenly once 'false religion' does 'fall' there might be a comet or some 'celestial' occurance...
Doesn't it seem that Babylon is more than just false religions? According to the scripture (below), it implies to me that Babylon is religion, politics, and commerce. All of these things have come from Babylon---weights and measures, coinage, all originated there and have to do with commerce. The idea of cities and governance came from Caaninites. And we all know about the deceptions and lies of all religions. It is just another way to exercise control over the masses.
According to this scripture, and please tell me if I am wrong, but it seems to say to me that Babylon is still deeply ingrained in ALL of our "systems" and way of life today. Also, to me this scripture implies that it will not "fall" until the very end when Jesus comes.
Rev:19:19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth. Their armies were gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. 20 But the beast was captured and with him the false prophet who did the miracles for the beast. The false prophet had used these miracles to trick those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his idol. The false prophet and the beast were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 21 And their armies were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds ate the bodies until they were full.
Doesn't this mean that before babylon can fall, or be destroyed, that we would have to know who the beast and false prophet are and it would be very obvious?
Thank you.
