Oh, I did read quite a ways into this thread...here are a few thoughts regarding Babylon
"Come out of her, my people" Doesn't necessarily mean a geographical change (as that is impractical for almost everyone) but can certainly be understood to mean "friendship with the world is enmity with God" coupled with many other precepts in scripture. That's just the main one that came to mind.
It's a heart thing and no matter one's geographical location you will still have to guard against spiritual Babylon, although it is true that if you have a serious problem with lust that you might not want to live next to an "adult" club in order to keep yourself from obvious temptation. #Wisdom
More to say about the rest of the OP's content but I don't have the energy at present.

I see this is a very old thread... oh well. 
It was rather a frustrating read with all the push-back he got though
He seemed genuine in obeying what he believed to be the Lord and was resistant to that and had misgivings. Anyone who is quite familiar with the lives of the prophets and how they interacted with the Word wouldn't automatically "pick up a stone" based on what the OP related I shouldn't think but perhaps I'm missing something.

That's pretty cool that you actually came back to post. Pretty rare. Did you feel led to or anything?
That's part of the reason I still post to guests or members that haven't been seen in years because I felt that since the possibility exists (if God is in it) though unlikely from my perspective, the possibility exists. Thanks for confirming that.
It's actually something that I was pondering. We're just supposed to obey "to obey is better than sacrifice" coupled with "rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft" two verses that come to mind.
1 Sam 15:22 (I had the wording slightly off)
1 Sam 15:23 (I had no idea it was the very next verse lol)
I don't memorize "where" something is with exact references but that's a first for me that it's the very next verse.

Although to be fair people feel led to do things that end up just being "them" but it's possible that it's "counted" for righteousness and they are accountable to what is understood in the moment (to me). If the Father has to prove everything with writing on the wall or a visitation in order for us to choose to walk according to the Spirit very little will get done.
The heart behind a thing matters a lot
Not to say that to want direct confirmation is "wrong" but so far it seems like a "maybe someday, perhaps not in this life" sort of deal in most instances. Certainly we should test the spirits though and it should line up with the Word.
"Without faith it is impossible to please him" comes to mind (Hebrews 11:6).
Take care.

It a false prophecy though because if Russia is the beast then who is the king of the North? Russia is the farthest north a country can get. There would be no king further north of Russia powerful enough to fight against it.
Babylon isn't the US. This is a tactic by Satan and even globalists to dishearten the US and kill it's fighting spirit. Mystery Babylon is a one-world religion and it's already been formed in 2022 - The Abrahamic Family House that combine Christian, Jewish and Islamic religions, as well as all the other religions in the world. It's headquarters are in Abu Dhabi (click on title for article):
Folks, be Berean and study your Bibles - these are the last days and false prophecies will rise up to distract you from what will really happen!

I've studied the Bible for 20 years. I've been leading a Bible group reading through the Bible in a year this year. It's like the third or fourth time I've went completely through it. I wrote a Christian fiction book based upon eschatology. And the Holy Spirit has given me the gift of prophecy.
I posted all these things in advance so that people would have the foreknowledge of what God is going to do. And yet, no matter what, people want to get on their eschatological high horse and tell me I'm wrong. I'm not wrong and one day (gets closer everyday) you will see just how right I was. You should take this information and prepare yourself instead of thinking YOU'RE always right.
