This may rock your world. It will definitely challenge your preconceived ideas, as well as call upon you to rethink what you’ve always thought and been taught about Bible prophecy. If you’re willing to do so, however, this timely edition of The Wilderness Voice can remove scales from your eyes. It can show you how the pieces of the prophetic puzzle are falling perfectly into place in our present-day world.
We begin by identifying the book of Revelation’s “Mystery, Babylon the Great” as America. While there is a mountain of incontrovertible evidence to prove this contention, for the sake of brevity, I’ll offer only the following as sufficient proof for our purposes in this important post.
First, ever since the days of ancient Babylon, the first great Gentile world power in the history of the world, every Gentile world power has served as the Babylon of its day. For instance, Peter called Rome, the great Gentile world power of his day, "Babylon" in 1 Peter 5:13. Therefore, Revelation’s “Mystery, Babylon the Great” should simply be seen as a symbol of the great Gentile world power upon the earth at the end of time. Now, if we’re living at the end of time, which I’m confidently convinced of by Scripture, there is only one nation in the world today that foots the bill for this Biblically predicted end-time role. It is America, the world’s only remaining superpower.
Second, evidence that America is the book of Revelation’s predicted end-time Babylon or superpower is found in the fact that it is characterized as both “Great” and a “Mystery.” America is not only the greatest power that there has ever been in the history of the world, but was also a mystery hidden from sight in Biblical times. Although God’s seers saw it from a distance and predicted its emergence to world supremacy, it was still much of a mystery to them; after all, the American continent was not discovered until the fifteenth century, America was not founded as a nation until the eighteenth century, and America did not rise to world supremacy until the twentieth century?
Third, the fact that “Mystery, Babylon the Great” is also called “the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth” serves as further proof that our country is clad in the scarlet and purple robe of Revelation’s foretold and infamous spiritual whore. Think about it; we’ve gone from being the greatest Christian nation in the history of the world to becoming an antichrist nation attempting to stamp out the public preaching and practice of the Christian Faith in our own land. Furthermore, we’ve gone from sending out missionaries and the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the darkest corners of the earth to exporting our own moral abominations to the ends of the earth, such as flying gay pride flags over all of our foreign embassies. Truly, there has never been a greater spiritual harlot nor purveyor of abominations upon the earth than America.
Now, having proven America to be the book of Revelation’s “Mystery, Babylon the Great,” we turn our attention to something incredibly intriguing, not to mention dreadfully disconcerting; namely, the book of Revelation’s description of God’s destructive judgment upon end-time Babylon. According to Revelation, “Mystery, Babylon the Great” will be sitting smugly with a false sense of invulnerability when sudden destruction befalls her (18:7-17). Furthermore, as the smoke of her destruction rises, the whole world will watch in bewilderment, absolutely aghast at the vulnerability of this once perceived impregnable "great city" (18:18). In addition, all of this is predicted to take place "in one hour" (18:10, 17).
On this 25th anniversary of 9/11, how can we fail to see that the events of that fateful day of infamy fall perfectly into place to fulfill this haunting Bible prophecy. As America sat smugly, in our false sense of invulnerability, sudden destruction fell upon us. As the smoke rose from the Twin Towers, the whole world watched in bewilderment, at how nineteen young Muslims, armed with nothing but boxcutters, brought to its knees the most powerful nation on earth, which was previously perceived as impregnable. And it all happened within a hour’s time!
I understand that this proposition will prompt howls of protest from those who will trounce it under their feet as untenable. They will argue that 9/11 cannot possibly be the book of Revelation’s predicted judgment of God on end-time Babylon, because of our country’s continuance since that day of infamy rather than extermination upon it. However, I contend that God’s judgment of America and America’s destruction, as the book Revelation predicts, came or commenced on 9/11. It has subsequently continued ever since and is soon to be completed, when “the Beast”—this fallen world’s long dreamed of New World Order—will rise from America’s ruins and lead this fallen world in its final all-out-war on God’s people, both His chosen people—Israel and the Jews—and His elect people—the church and Christians.
To prove 9/11 was God’s judgment on a God-forsaken America and that America has subsequently been being destroyed ever since, consider how we, in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, administered to ourselves a lethal injection, foolishly and fatally believing it to be an immunization from future 9/11 terrorist attacks. Although it was proposed and passed off on us as a prerequisite for our future protection, this poison pill has since proved to precipitate the unraveling of our representative republic to the point that we are presently approaching being completely polished off!
Right after 9/11, and for the first time in American history, our country’s citizenry voluntarily surrendered its constitutional rights and freedoms to our government in exchange for promised protection. We surrendered our right to privacy and submitted to unrestricted government surveillance for the sake of national security. We said we didn’t care if Big Brother was watching us and invading our privacy, as long as terrorists in our midst would be detected and another 9/11 prevented. Little did we know that by surrendering our right to privacy we were removing the most important barrier preventing the state from usurping its power over our private lives.
It was Benjamin Franklin who warned us: “Those who give up liberty to gain security are deserving of neither and destined to lose both!” Today, thanks to 9/11, our government is aggressively encroaching more and more on our constitutional rights and freedoms under the guise of protecting us from a plethora of perils; such as, pandemics, climate change, systemic racism, gun violence, and terrorism. Furthermore, we the people, to the detriment and demise of our representative republic, have grown accustomed to surrendering our personal liberties for government promised security. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, our petrified populace permitted our government to suspend our Constitution, revoke our constitutional rights and freedoms, lock down our economy, lock us up in our houses, and shutdown our businesses, workplaces, schools and churches. Truly, we’ve become a nation of sheeple, our government has become tyrannical, and the land of the free and the home of the brave has become nothing more than a faint memory buried beneath the ruins of 9/11’s Ground Zero.
The America we once knew and loved is long gone. Furthermore, our constitutional and representative republic, which went up in smoke on 9/11 and has been rapidly unraveling ever since, will soon be reduced to ruins. Afterward, just as the book of Revelation predicts, “the beast,” the globalists’ long envisioned New World Order, which Revelation says will “hate the whore” (Revelation 17:16), will gleefully rise from America’s ruins. This, of course, explains why today’s Democrats, progressives, socialists, and globalists hate America, They all see America as the one remaining obstacle to their long envisioned worldwide socialist utopia, which will, according to them, usher in a paradisiacal planet. Far from heaven on earth, however, the Bible predicts it will usher in the greatest hell on earth this fallen world has ever known. In fact, Jesus taught that His return to earth will be the only thing that prevents all life on this planet from being extinguished (Matthew 24:22).
Needless to say, it’s time for sinners to prepare to meet their God (Amos 4:12) and for the saints to drop to their knees in serious prayer to God, for the end of all things has come upon us (1 Peter 4:7). While I call upon all unbelievers to come to Christ before its everlasting too late for them to do so, I also call upon all believers to lift up their heads, for our “redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28). Truly, the pieces of the prophetic puzzle are falling into place and prophecy itself is being fulfilled right before our very eyes, if we will only open our eyes to see it.
