I was reading Jeremiah 51 and almost had my mind go into neutral during a description of the wrath of God coming down on Babylon. I have read this kind of proclamation before. Although I consider myself a realist and was recently called a cynic, I am not into doom and gloom. I tend to read prophetic announcements and then go on to things that I think make a difference.
That is not the norm for some Christians. We often hear about how Babylon is the Roman Catholic church and the EU is the 10 horned beast. One consistent thing mentioned literally is the fact that Babylon destroyed Israel. Eventually Babylon was destroyed for what they did to God’s people.
The modern left is all in to desert modern Israel. You even have a lot of American Jews who are not willing to support it. If the United States ever hangs Israel out to dry, will we become Babylon? Will all of these terrible calamities descend on us? Read these verses,
(Gen 12:1-3 KJV) Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.It makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
