Fall of a Nation by Anthony Smith
Jeremiah 51:6-51:18
The Fall of a Nation, Babylon is Fallen. Is the United States ,
Spiritual Babylon ? Jer.51:6-18. I read an artical the other
day, concerning the vast wealth of America and the massive
influence that she has over the rest of the world. Most banking
systems are located in New York City, Gold ,Silver, Diamonds and
all manner of costly stones and commerce is located here.
International travel is centered here and the major religions
around the world look at her. Most commentators look at the
Kingdom of the Chaldes as Babylon, which is probably correct,
but we are looking at spiritual Babylon. Syria, Egypt, Iran,
Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Russia, China all combined together,
constitute a spiritual and physical Babylon, because of the vast
wealth and resources they poses. In my opinion these will in
time constitute a great threat to Israel and her soventry and
safety. Russia will try to exploit Israel as she prospers, and
according to prophecy, Israel will bloom. China will,
collaborate with Syria and the rest of the nations, under the
leadership of the anti-christ, to destroy Israel, at the battle
of Armageddon. The question here is, America, spiritual Babylon.
In the past 60 years, America has become the center of commerce,
and religion. She has been dubbed, the Golden one of all
nations, for wealth power and knowledge. Knowledge has been
increased, we can even clone animals, probably even people. All
Nations are jealous of her and have become drunk on her way of
life. You’ve herd other nations talk about the western
influence, on clothes, movies, music, food, and freedom, their
talking about the things that America offers the world. The
United States Supreme Court in 1865 , stated that this Nation
was “CHRISTIAN” and owed everything to its creator. What has
happened sense to change such a dramatic statement? Have we
forgotten our Creator, have we forgotten all that He has done
for us? Lets look at some scripture, then you can decide for
yourself. Jer. 51:6-18, “BABYLON HATH BEEN A GOLDEN CUP IN THE
lORDS HAND,that made all the earth drunken;the nations have
drunk of her wine;therefore the nations are mad. ,.....WE would
have healed Babylon, but she is not healed; forsake her and let
us go everyone into his own country....for His device is against
Babylon to destroy it...” This is a nation of power, a nation of
influence, a nation of back-sliders, a nation that has turned
against God, and is standing alone in the world as the only
super power. All nations are turning against America and she now
is alone to face the judgment of God. Babylon the great harlot,
that has made the nations of the world drunken with her power
and influence and abundance is becoming a nation of
indifference, her power is failing, she cannot defend her own
boarders, her wealth is dwindelling and her influence has
fallen. False religions are created everywhere , marring and
giving in marriage, man with man, woman with woman, and no end
in sight. Is America the spiritual Babylon?, or is there another
with the same power that she holds, the influence. The world has
for some time now looked at Babylon the city of Iraq, for
answers. Yes Sadam Husain was rebuilding it, but that was the
physical Babylon and the scripture is speaking of Babylon the
great whore.Is Rome Babylon? Unlikely, Tiberius of Rome in the
days after Christ was crucified, stated that Rome was the center
of all hypocrisy, lust, greed and whoredom.So where does that
leave us, America. Jeremiah stated that God would have healed
Babylon but she was not willing. Could I be wrong, maby, but
here we have a chance to look into our selves to evaluate our
faith and trust in God. A chance to look into the past to search
out the future. I have noticed that sometimes ,when confronted
with the truth or a different interpretation, many scholars
resist and deneigh the interpretation. But we must start look at
the scripture a little closer to seek out the truth, while we
still can. Why is this so important for the church to discuss ?
Because all these things are tied into the coming rapture of the
church, Jesus said, “when you see all these things come to pass,
know that the end is near, even at the door.” I believe not only
are we near the door but Christ may even have His hand on the
door upon the walls of Babylon{guards at air ports, train
stations, power plants,coast guard, F.B.I., C.I.A.}, make the
watch strong,{National alert system}, set up the watch men,
prepair the ambushers, {9-11}, for the Lord hath both devised
and done that which he spake knob. Last of all lets look at Jer.
51:12, “ Set the standard against the inhabitants of Babylon” I
wanted to give you something to think about, to awaken the Bride
of Christ, do not sleep, as those that sleep, but awaken unto
rightiouness.Be sober and not drunken, for a time is coming, for
a , fall of a nation.
