Babylon means confusion. The confusion of the end times is what is described in Revelation and other places like Daniel: Satan standing in Jerusalem claiming to be God; and all the world worshiping him. That is the Babylon that is coming . But, its not America . The Bible says " all the world wonders after that system headed by Satan" . America is not that Babylon... It is everyone taking part; in loosing their true Messiah, in an instant; to a fake( 2 thess 2: etc ). Americans will not just take part, But all the world as its written. So to say its America, you would be missing a lot of what is written...
This is not some story, the Bible is fact, about events that Christ said will happen. It will happen Just as God said it would . God is not a liar . It will come to pass, as everything He says comes to pass, just as it is written.
To believe and call yourself a Christian, that its some story, then you would be robing yourself of the truth. And you will be one of those people who take part in that confusion. That is a fact.
