I'll go one by one through your points with my thoughts, which may or may not be correct.... im not "leaning upon my own understanding" here, merely sharing my opinions.
1. "A woman" - America, effeminate title
Jerusalem was a "woman". Today, there is a spiritual "woman" who would like to be known as "Jerusalem"
2. "fallen, fallen" - Twin Towers collapse
The "fallen. fallen" shows that BtG has fallen, in order to fall, she needed to hold a high position before Jah.
3. "in one our comes to ruin" - Towers collapsed in little over an hour
...
4. "a city" - New York, New York
Jerusalem was a "city".
5. "world sees smoker of her burning" - media show towers burning to entire globe
...
6. "makes nations drunk with her trade" - Center of World Trade
Certainly, the followers of the woman are "drunk".
7. "she held a cup in her hand" - Statue of Liberty, torch painted gold in 1980s
Perhaps, the cup of the blood of Christ, which she keeps all for herself...
8. The woman is like Israel - America, Israel are inextricably bound together
The woman is SO like Israel, fitting Matthew 23 to a tee.
9. "has two horns like a lamb" - Christian nation, constitutionally conservative
This does not describe BtG. This describes the Wild Beast she rides upon. Which does portray itself as a lamb...
10. "speaks like a dragon" - Satanic nation, verbally and socially liberal
...and speaks as a dragon.
11. referred to as "great" - described as "great Satan" by Eastern Islamists
...
12. "glorified herself" - self-worship by worship of individuality, image
Only those who are part of her can enter the kingdom... all the rest cant, get "second prize", exhalting herself, bringing much glory to herself.
13. "lived luxuriously", "filled with riches" - America is the richest nation on earth
Oh yes, she does indeed live luxuriously off the contributions... million dollar chandaliers... nice suits, flash top-of-the-range cars...
14. "clothed with the sun" - is armed with the greatest nuclear might
...
15. "with the moon under feet" - Apollo landing, only nation to conquer the moon
...
16. "rules over the nations of the earth" - single superpower
The two women are not the same.......
17. "the earth came to her aid" - international support
Does not the Revelation in fact say they stood far off and watched? Rev 18:15-19 NOT THE SAME WOMAN, and if it is, then its NOT THE SAME EVENT.
18. "given the wings of an eagle" - the eagle is a U.S. symbol, war effort is titled, "Operation Noble Eagle"
Is this the one and same woman?
19. drunk with the blood of the saints" - spiritually apostate
Read Matthew 23:33-39
20. "boasts, 'I am not a widow'" - brags of its goodness, yet is unrepentant
Oh yes, she excells at that...
21. "in the cup that she mixed" - worship of God with worship of money
...
22. Three references to "a woman" - apostate church, paganism,
imitates Israel
See point above regarding woman...
23. "has a crown of 12 stars" - alliance with and control over EU/NATO
...
24 God uses her enemies to burn her - international terrorism
The beast she rides upon will devour her...
25. seven nations, and an eighth against her - seven Islamic nations and Russia
World religions are against her... and the eighth...
26. "her sins reached to heaven" - leader in pornography, drugs, violence, greed
Again, read Matt 23:33-39
27. world mourns for her "from afar off" - nations distanced by Pacific and Atlantic oceans
As I pointed out earlier...
28. Tower of Babel, symbol of multiethnicity - U.S., most
democratized, ethnically integrated
Like, whats wrong with multiethnicity????????
29. Tower of Babel, symbol of one language - U.S. only multiethnic nation w/universal English
So?
30. "come out of her, lest you share in her sins - allure of American lifestyle, difficult to resist
Once again... Matt 23
31. "strong is the God who judges her" - a new era in warfare against a faceless enemy
God is strong...
32. "they will plunder her" - Terrorists call for the "plundering" of the U.S.
The beast will indeed do that...
33. fifth bowl of God's wrath poured out - retaliation by U.S.
employs nuclear option
OK. Now you're saying God is going to be behind millions of innocent deaths...
34. God conveys it is Himself fighting her - Terrorists call the fight a "Holy War"
Now you're saying God is behind the terrorists...
35. "the light of a lamp shall shine no more in you" - The Gospel hypocritically promoted ends
Right...
36. "music" of every kind "shall be heard no more - The U.S. is the center of all modern music
The music will stop...
[quote]37. "the merchants of the earth mourn for her" - Stock markets and trade halt and decline[quote]
OK
So, when BABYLON THE GREAT, that is those FALSE ANNOINTED, like the Governing Body, like our PERFECT EXAMPLE [b]You Know[b] are destroyed, are turned upon by the beast she sits upon, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, then you will see the fulfillment of Revelation 17-18.
