1 IS AMERICA BABYLON ?By Stewart BestThe vast majority of Christians in the United States have been taught that AMERICA issimply not in Bible prophecy. No matter where one may turn, AMERICA is not there, eitherby name or by any form of code name either. Thus say the host of AMERICA 's Christianclergy to their flock. The second thing they are told is that BABYLON is NEVER TAUGHTANYWHERE IN SCRIPTURE AS A NATION. BABYLON is a SYSTEM, and most view itas a RELIGIOUS SYSTEM OF SOME said these views would surface at the time of end. It is the mark of apostasy toDENY YOUR IDENTITY, YOUR SIN, AND THE TIME OF YOUR VISITATION. Infact, that is the essence of all apostasy, THE REJECTION OF SCRIPTURE AS ITAPPLIES TO A PERSON, COMMUNITY OR NATION. It is always SOMEONE ELSE,SOMEWHERE ELSE, AND AT SOME UNKNOWN "FUTURE TIME". Never is itNOW, US and OUR it not seem odd to you that AMERICA , the GREATEST NATION IN THE WORLD,the greatest evangelical nation; that took the Gospel of Christ to the four corners of theworld; THE RICHEST NATION ON THE EARTH, who has given more aid to nationsthan any other; THE NATION TO HAVE WON TWO MAJOR WORLD WARS andmany others; IS NOT EVEN MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE?

2 That God would forget anation that has been central to the survival of Israel in this age? Not even in a crypticway?That is like saying God is blind in one eye, and cannot see out of the other! It is accusingGod of utter negligence! But it is not God who is NEGLIGENT. It is not God whoFORGOT AMERICA in prophecy. It is not God who failed to paint a picture that wasobvious to those that wanted to find it. IT IS NOT GOD, BUT THE FALSE PROPHETSOF AMERICA WHO HAVE UTTERLY FAILED THEIR FLOCK. They areDECEIVED, AND THUS ARE DECEIVERS AND HYPOCRITES, FOR THEY LEADMILLIONS TO ETERNAL told the citizens of BABYLON THE GREAT, AMERICA , exactly what wouldhappen in AMERICA , and pointed a finger directly at the christian SHEPHERDS. Whydo you suppose that God would do that? Why would He pick a specific group and lay theblame right at their feet? Because it is GOD'S PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BEABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ANTICHRIST NATION, THE NATION THAT SPAWNSANTICHRIST.

3 Remember that antichrist rises in DECEPTION."My people (Christians) hath been LOST SHEEP(UNSAVED, UNREGENERATE - HELL BOUND):THEIR SHEPHERDS(THE christian CLERGY, THE EVANGELISTS, THE PREACHERS, THETEACHERS)HAVE CAUSED THEM TO GO ASTRAY,..(Jeremiah 50:6).The shepherds of God's people in BABYLON AMERICA embrace a FALSE SALVATIONGOSPEL (Matthew 7:21-23; 2 Peter 2:1-3), which leads MILLIONS into eternal salvation Gospel is an UTTERLY FALSE GOSPEL. It is "sugar-coated", and anALL POSITIVE GOSPEL. That is what Jeremiah means when he says: "they have turnedthem AWAY on the MOUNTAINS; they have gone from MOUNTAIN TO HILL, theyhave FORGOTTEN THEIR RESTING PLACE."God fights His wars IN THE VALLEY. True salvation lies IN THE VALLEY. If yourefuse the VALLEY EXPERIENCE (THE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF THESALVATION DOCTRINE) you will never FIND YOUR RESTING PLACE. Jesus saidyou MUST PICK UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM.

4 BABYLON 's gospel ofsalvation HAS NO CROSS, NO DEATH OF SELF, AND THEREFORE NO TRUELIFE. It is an utterly false salvation doctrine. IT SWEEPS THE VAST MAJORITY OFAMERICAN CHRISTIANS INTO ETERNAL HELLFIRE. That is why God says theyARE LOST SHEEP. They ARE lost, LOST FOREVER."We are confounded, because we have heard REPROACH;SHAME HATH COVERED OUR FACES:FOR STRANGERS ARE COME INTO THE SANCTUARIES OF THE LORD'SHOUSE(Jeremiah 51:51)."Indeed, the false christian clergy ARE STRANGERS and they hold forth a FALSEGOSPEL, that leads to their REPROACH AND LOSS at the judgment seat of shall one and all BE ASHAMED, and now face ETERNAL RUIN FOR EVERAND EVER. This is the primary reason why AMERICAN CHRISTIANS reject thatAmerica is BABYLON . They have been UTTERLY MISLEAD BY FALSE is part of prophecy. BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE ONE OF THEM! You canextricate yourself from God's disfavor by SIMPLY ACCEPTING WHAT GOD SAYSAS FACT, and rejecting all the nonsense of these hell bound false this first part of our investigation we will focus on the aspect of whether or not Godteaches that BABYLON the Great is in fact A NATION AMONG THE NATIONS OF THEWORLD.

5 GOD SAYS BABYLON IS A NATION. To claim otherwise is to utterlycontradict GOD and all of HIS PROPHETS that spoke of BABYLON . The mark of aFALSE TEACHER is one who DENIES OR CONTRADICTS THE WORD OF GOD,usually in an effort to prove his/her views correct. WE ARE ALL LIARS, AND GOD ISTHE ONLY ONE WHO TELLS THE issue before you, then, is not your opinion, your biases, your intelligence, yourstanding before God, your education or your denominational belief structure. IT ISWHETHER OR NOT YOU WILL ACCEPT WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY EXACTLYAS HE SAYS IT. The vast majority of Christians WILL NOT ACCEPT WHAT GODHAS TO SAY. They refuse it, alter it, deny it, contradict it, or pervert it, and twist IS EXACTLY WHY CHRIST SAID THE VAST MAJORITY OF CHRISTIANSWILL NEVER ENTER HEAVEN AT ALL. They shall be ETERNALLY SENT AWAYINTO RUIN AND LOSS. It was not that they COULD NOT ACCEPT WHAT GODSAID, but THAT THEY WOULD view of the EXTREME SHORTNESS OF THE HOUR, PLEASE SIMPLY ACCEPTWHAT GOD HAS TO SAY, and take it into your heart.

6 NO MATTER HOW ITMAKES YOU FEEL, DO IT NOW!!FACT ONE: BABYLON THE GREAT IS A we say BABYLON is a nation, we mean to say that she is A LAWFUL NATION, ANATION WITH SPECIFIC BOUNDARIES, A NATION RECOGNIZED ININTERNATIONAL LAW, A NATION CAPABLE OF ENTERING INTO TREATIES,A NATION WITH A CENTRAL GOVERNMENT, AND A NATION RECOGNIZEDBY THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH. That is a nation with a SPECIFIC LAND MASS,DEFINED BOUNDARIES BY LAW, A NATION WITH A PEOPLE THAT GO BY ASPECIFIC NAME, A NATION WITH URBAN AREAS, CITIES, TOWNS ANDRURAL DISTRICTS, FARMS, LAKES, FORESTS, ETC. That is what we mean by anation, and that is what GOD MEANS BY A is referred to in the Scriptures as a nation both directly and indirectly. Often theterm KINGDOM and NATION are used interchangeably. We will first of all examinethose areas in the Old Testament prophecies that identify BABYLON THE GREAT as anation, as a SINGULAR ENTITY, not some world wide system.

7 Jeremiah 50:12 is agood place to start:"Your mother shall be sore confounded;she that bare you shall be ashamed:BEHOLD, THE HINDER-MOST OF THE NATIONS shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert."This is a direct reference to BABYLON THE GREAT, who is also called THEDAUGHTER OF BABYLON . Jeremiah calls her directly THE HINDERMOST OF THENATIONS. You view this his perspective, as he looks down the tunnel of time - theHINDERMOST from him would be the LAST BABYLON . That means the LASTBABYLON TO RISE BEFORE THE END. The last and the YOUNGEST OF ALL THEGREAT NATIONS AT THE END TIME. In comparison with the other nations of theworld, at the time of the end, SHE WILL BE THE YOUNGEST AND ALSO THEMOST POWERFUL NATION AMONG THE GREAT NATIONS. AMERICA fits thatdescription perfectly. She is the YOUNGEST and yet the most powerful NATION amongthe NATIONS of the know for a fact that this must refer to a limited LAND MASS AREA WITHSPECIFIC BOUNDARIES, for THE WHOLE WORLD IS NOT DESTROYED, butBABYLON THE NATION IS DESTROYED.

8 This latter day BABYLON has a mother,which is also a NATION. This mother was responsible for "birthing" this mighty Babylonof the end times. If Iraq is BABYLON as some try to claim, WHO IS THE MOTHER OFIRAQ? If you read this verse carefully, it says that the MOTHER NATION PRECEDEDBABYLON, GAVE BIRTH TO HER, WATCHES HER RISE TO FULL POWER, ANDWATCHES HER DIE IN FIRE. Again, WHO IS THE MOTHER OF IRAQ? Iraq is the mother of Rome, which is often presented as BABYLON ? Rome is not anation, but a city. Further, SHE HAS NO MOTHER. Who is the mother of the EC, whichis often presented as BABYLON , THE REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE? In point of fact,SHE WILL HAVE NO MOTHER, and further, BABYLON THE GREAT is alwaysshown as a SINGLE NATION FROM HER BIRTH TO HER RISE TO FULL POWERAND GLORY. The EC does not qualify. Each parameter must be fulfilled. YouCANNOT PICK AND CHOSE that which you wish to present to prove your , AMERICA has a mother.

9 This mother was DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FORHER BIRTH. That mother PRECEDED HER. England has been around awhile. Englandgave birth to AMERICA , and England is still around, and ENGLAND WILL WATCHAMERICA BURN. England is further confirmed as the mother of BABYLON THEGREAT by Daniel the Prophet in Daniel 7:4 (THE LION). Ezekiel also mentions it inEzekiel 38/39 as "TARSHISH", who gives birth to "young cubs". Tarshish is a crypticreference to ENGLAND and her young cubs are AMERICA , Canada, Australia, NewZealand, etc. Daniel refers to her as a LION. The national symbol of England is A eagle wings on top the lion IS AMERICA , HER DAUGHTER. AMERICA 's nationalsymbol is THE EAGLE WITH OUTSTRETCHED THE GREAT IS A NATION. We would not need any other reference toprove it, because ONE DIRECT REFERENCE IS ENOUGH! There are many is a key prophet in identification of BABYLON THE GREAT.

10 He is usuallyignored by prophecy "experts"."For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans (New BABYLON ),THAT BITTER AND HASTY NATION,which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplacesthat are not their's(Habakkuk 1:6)".Notice the term NATION. Not NATIONS, or any GROUP OF NATIONS, but alwaysONE NATION, A SINGULAR NATION. Again God calls BABYLON THE GREAT ANATION. She is also referred to as a KINGDOM, the same as a nation. BABYLON isalways referred to IN THE SINGULAR."And BABYLON , THE GLORY OF KINGDOMS,the beauty of the Chaldee's excellency,shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah(Isaiah 13:19)."Here Isaiah calls BABYLON A KINGDOM, in fact, she IS THE QUEEN AMONG ALLTHE KINGDOMS/NATIONS OF THE EARTH. She is the leading power of theWHOLE WORLD. Notice her end: BY FIRE. That is EXACTLY WHAT JEREMIAHSAYS, and that is EXACTLY WHAT REVELATION 17 and 18 say.
