I recently was watching a random video on YouTube when it was interrupted by a commercial. I was a little bit stunned by a YouTube commercial with a religious theme so I took a minute to hear what the man had to say.
I have reservations when listening to a modern day "prophet". There are some who are truly speaking God's message but my bar is high. I do expect a 100 percent accuracy rate 100 ;recent of the time. Else, what of his words are we to listen to?. So I listened to this man with reservation.
He talked of America being the Babylon that is mentioned in the book of Revelation. He gave many compelling arguments and I have been set to pondering. I had been taught that the United States is not mentioned anywhere in scripture and it didn't seem to be, when I formed my opinion. But times have changed and I was taken aback when he mentioned how we, in America have become the instigators of so much evil. That is true! God forgive us!
It's not just our policies... it's our money. Our money, is the money that drives the human trafficking trade, the illegal weapons trade, the drug trafficking trade. We... our money drives the use of children in factories in other parts of the world and the crushing of the sprits of many more. We have become global consumers without taking note of the effect we are ultimately having.
"And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon[a] is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”" Revelation 14:8
