According to the Bible, the USA is the only country today which could be considered the modern Babylon, and it fits the mold mightily well. The question is how or whether this election cycle, with the sudden potential election of Trump, would play into the prophecies. It would seem that Trump the man is throwing a wrench into the plans of Satan himself. Let me explain.
Babylon is described as a great whore in the Bible. Like all whores, she wanders about and her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them. Geopolitically, and as it would interest Holla Forums, Babylon is the seat of power of the rulers of the darkness of this world; she reigns as an empire over the known world.
The Bible is very clear about the secession of Babylon. The key point is that the baton is usually passed along to a successor empire, as it were.
Egypt → Assyria → Babylon → Persia → Greece → Rome… ?
Rome as the Great Whore lasted from the establishment of the empire through the Middle Ages as the Roman Catholic powers. The geopolitical seat of power moved with the great whore (and the whore herself followed righteousness in an attempt to corrupt and destroy it) such that Europe and the European powers became the dominant geopolitical force.
But today, neither Rome nor the Roman Catholic church could hardly be called dominant global empires. What country is the only "super power" today? What is the richest country on earth? What country has military bases in over 150 countries worldwide? Where is the UN proto global government headquartered?
Well its obviously the United States. Does the US fit the bill?
1.) The USA is the successor of Rome; we took up the baton from Rome. Don't believe me? Go to our nations capitol, or the state capitols, and what will you see: Roman architecture and statues of Roman gods. What is one of our legislative bodies called? Oh, the Senate, patterned after Rome. Pull out a dollar bill and what does our nations motto read: e pluribus unum, in Latin, the language of Rome. Our national symbol is a Roman eagle. Our "democracy" is from Greece and our "republic" is from Rome. This country was patterned after Rome since its very inception. Not only that: the Washinton monument is an exact copy of an obelisk in Egypt. Other examples include a random idol of Ashurbanipal (Assyrian) in San Francisco. Culturally, the US is the purest successor to previous Babylons.
2.) Aside from being a place of great power, Babylon is also a place of great wickedness. The whore is described as fornicating with all the nations of the earth.
Americans are by no means the ones responsible for this, but rather the leaders of this country are responsible.
The US is (sadly) probably one of the most Christian nations in the world, and yet OUR OWN government is the one pushing feminism, sodomy, fornication, adultery, bestiality, pedophilia, etc on the rest of the world (excluding Western Europe which is already overflowing with those things and who our leaders say should be an example unto us).
