Part 2. America is Babylon in the prophecies put up earlier.
It is written:
This is what the LORD says:
See, I will stir up the spirit of a destroyer against Babylon, and the people of Leb Kamia. I wil send foreigners to Babylon to winnow her and to devastate her land, they will oppose her on every side in the day of her disaster.
Let not the archer string his bow, nor let him put on his armor. Do not spare her young men, completely destroy her army.
They will fall down and be slain in Babylon, fatally wounded in her streets. For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken by their God, the LORD Almighty though their land is full of guilt before the Holy One of Israel.
Flee Babylon! Run for your lives!
Do not be destroyed because of her sins.
It is time for the LORD's vengeance, he will pay her what she deserves.
Babylon was a gold cup in the LORD's hand. <----------( this is America, not Iraq, people! )
She made the whole earth drunk. <---------( with her seductions and her temptations to sin )
therefore they have all gone mad. <-------- ( end result of sin is moral insanity -then mental illness )
Babylon will be suddenly fall and be broken. ( Rev. 18 confirms sudden as in 1 hour America will fall )
Wail over her! ( let the priest weep between the porch and the altar - Plead for her - Joel 2:17)
Get balm for her pain, perhaps she can be healed. ( II Chronicles 7: 14 - heal our Land O God! )
We would have healed Babylon, but she cannot be healed.
let us leave her and each go to his own land, her judgments have reached the skies, it rises as high as the clouds. <------------( judgment stands at the door now )
The LORD has vindicated us, come, let us tell in Zion what the LORD our God has done. <------( God's judgment vindicates the righteous )
Sharpen the arrows,
take up the shields,
The LORD has stirred up the kings of the Medes, <-----------( foreigners will make war against America)
because his purpose is to destroy Babylon <---------------( the wicked are Gods sword - Psalm 17: 13)
The LORD will take vengeance, veangeance for his Temple ( See Ezekiel 9 - God shall mark those who weep and sigh for America's sins and the abominations done inside His Sanctuary - their lives shall be spared - )
Lift up a banner against the walls of Babylon,
station the watchmen <--------------( the enemy is already inside the gates of America now )
prepare the ambush <---------------( the enemy is awaiting the hour of order to attack - right now)
The LORD will carry out his purpose, his decree against the people of Babylon. ( Americans )
You who live by many waters and are rich in treasures (America - Babylon who sits on many waters, Iraq is landlocked)
Your end has come. <-----------( Judgment of God is now at hand)
The time for you to be cut off <-----------( Today is day of salvation, people! - repent right now! )
The Lord Almighty has sworn by himself:
I will surely fill you with men, as with a swarm of locusts, and they will shout in trumph over you.
( the enemy is inside the gates - Russians, Chinese, Arabs, communists from Cuba, Nicaragua, etc )
He made the earth by his power, he founded the world by his wisdom, and stretched out the heavens by his understanding, When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar, he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.
Every man is senseless and without knowledge, every goldsmith is shamed by his idols.
His images are a fraud, they have no breath in them <-----------( the idols of men, cars, houses, boats, hedonism,pleasure seekers, intellectualism, humanism, pornography, lust of the eyes, the flesh and the boastful pride of life - REPENT!)
When their judgment comes, they perish <------------( say goodbye to those fancy houses, cars, luxury boats, furnishings, decorations.. etc!)
He who is the portion of Jacob is not like these, for he is the Maker of all things ( John 1:1 - The Word who is Jesus the Christ ! )
Including the tribe of his inheritance - The Lord Almighty is his name <-----------( AMEN TO THAT! )
You are my war club, my weapon for battle, with you I shatter nations, with you I destroy kingdoms, with you I shatter horse and rider, with you I shatter chariots and driver, with you I shatter man and woman, with you I shatter old man and youth, with you I shatter shepherd and flock, with you I shatter farmer and oxen, with you I shatter governors and officials.
Before your eyes I will repay Babylon and all who live in Babylonia for all the wrong they have done in Zion, declares the Lord.
I am against you O destroying mountain, you who destroy the whole earth, declares the LORD.
I will stretch out my hand against you, roll you off cliffs, and make you a burned out mountain. <--------------( warning to America! )
No rock will be taken from you for a cornerstone, nor any stone for a foundation, for you will be desolate forever, declares the LORD.
Lift up a banner in the land!
Blow the trumpet among the nations!
Prepare the nations for battle against her, summon against her these kingdoms:
Ararat, Minni and Ashkenaz.
Appoint a commander against her, send up horses like a swarm of locusts.
Prepare the nations for battle against her -
the kings of the Medes, their governors and all their officals and all the countries they rule.
The land trembles and writhes <------------------( this is America! )
for the LORD's purposes against Babylon stand - <--------------( He shall no longer delay his judgment )
to lay waste the land of Babylon so that no one will live there.
Babylon's warriors have stopped fighting
they remain in their strongholds,
Their strength is exhausted, they have become like women.
Her dwellings are set on fire,
the bars of her gates are broken.
One courier follows another and
messenger follows messenger
to announce to the king of Babylon that his entire city is captured <----------( Barack Obama is the King of Babylon)
the rivers crossings seized, the marshes set on fire, and the soldiers terrified.
This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says:
The Daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time it is trampled,
the time to harvest her will soon come. ( Matt 13:30 First tares are gathered, bundled and burned - then wheat is gathered into the barns )
Nebuchadnezzar king of Bablyon has devoured us, <-----------------( Barack Obama - type of Nebuchadnezzar - referred to as King )
he has thrown us into confusion, <-------------------------( Seen facebook lately? All of America is in utter confusion in this hour )
he has made us as an empty jar, <------------------------( America is broke - 17 trillion in debt and counting )
Like a serpent he has swallowed us and filled his stomach with our delicacies, <----------------( he has lived lavishly at our expense )
and then he has spewed us out. <----------------( rejected the people of America and the judeo/christian values of America)
Still typing - I'll be back.. we are now at Jeremiah 51: 1 - 34 and we have about 28 more verses to go... sit tight... are you recognizing any of this yet, America? Good! God loves you, don't faint yet...
May the violence done to our flesh be upon Babylon, say the inhabitants of Zion.
May our blood be upon those who live in Babylonia, says Jerusalem.
Therefore, this is what the LORD says:
See, I will defend your cause and avenge you.
I will dry up her sea and make her springs dry up. <-------------( people and their prosperity to dry up )
Babylon will be a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals <------------ ( type of evil people )
an object of horror and scorn <-------------( other nations will look on in horror and scorn for America's misery )
a place where no one lives. <---------------( no one will desire to live in America anymore )
Her people all roar like young lions,
they growl like lion cubs,
But while they are aroused, I will set out a feast for them
and make them drunk, <-----------------(people were getting drunk on the roof tops when Rome was destroyed )
so that they shout with laughter - then sleep forever and not awake, Declares the LORD
I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,
like rams and goats,
How Sheschach will be captured, the boast of the whole earth is seized. <------------( America was the boast of the whole earth )
What a horror Babylon will be among the nations! <-------------( Nations will recoil in horror at the sight of what happens to America )
the sea will rise over Babylon, its roaring waves will cover her <-----------( literal judgment - parts of America will be underwater )
Her towns will be desolate,
a dry and desert land <-----------( picture of being barren )
a land where no man lives,
through which no man travels <--------(parts of America will be destroyed by nuclear fire )
I will punish Bel in Babylon
and make him spew out what he has swallowed <------------(What this King has stolen will be taken from him)
The nations will no longer stream to him, <-----------( Obama will lose the popularity he enjoys now as King of America )
And the wall of Babylon will fall <-------------( America's fall is complete )
Come out from her, my people!
Run for your lives!
Run from the fierce anger of the LORD.
Do not lose heart or be afraid when rumors are heard in the land,
one rumor comes this year, another the next, rumors of violence in the land,
and of ruler against ruler.
For the time will surely come when I will punish the idols of Babylon, <-----------( Hollywood, rich & famous people of America who are idolized)
her whole land will be disgraced
and her slain will all lie fallen within her.
Then heaven and earth and all that is in them will shout for joy over Babylon, <--------( their blood has been avenged when Babylon is destroyed)
for out of the north destroyers attack her, Declares the LORD. <--------------( Russians will launch the attack on America )
Babylon must fall because of Israel's slain, just as the slain in all the earth have fallen because of Babylon.
You who have escaped the sword, leave and do not linger!
Remember the LORD in a distant land, and think on Jerusalem. <--------( let those who have ears understand what this means )
W are disgraced, for we have been insulted, and shame covers our faces,
because foreigners have entered the holy places of the LORD's house. <------------( foreigners defile the sanctuaries )
But the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will punish her idols,
and throughout her land the wounded will groan.
Even if Babylon reaches the sky and fortifies her lofty stronghold,
I will send destroyers against her, Declares the Lord.
The sound of a cry comes from Babylon, the sound of great destruction,
from the land of the Babylonians.
The LORD will destroy Babylon, he will silence her noisy din.
Waves of enemies, will rage like great waters, the roar of their voices will resound.
A destroyer will come against Babylon, her warriors will be captured,
and their bows will be broken.
For the LORD is the God of retribution, he will repay in full.
I will make her officials and wise men drunk,
her governors, officers and warriors as well.
they will sleep forever and not wake up.
declares the King, whose name is the LORD Almighty.
This is what the LORD Almighty says:
Babylon's thick wall will be leveled. <-------------( her protection will be utterly decimated )
and her high gates set on fire,
the people exhaust themselves for nothing <---( Unless the Lord watches over the city the watchmen stand guard in vain. Psalm 127: 1 )
the nation's labor is only fuel for the flames.
This is the message Jeremiah gave to the staff officer Seraiah son of Neriah, the son of Maheiah, when he went to Babylon with Zedekiah king of Judah in the fourth year of his reign. Jeremiah had written on a scroll about the disasters that would come upon Babylon- all that had been recorded concerning Babylon. He said to Seraiah, When you get to Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud. Then say, O LORD, you have said you will destroy this place, so that neither man nor animal will live in it, it will be desolate forever. When you finish reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the Euphrates.
Then say, So will Babylon sink to rise no more because of the disaster I will bring upon her. And her people will fall. The words of Jeremiah end here.
Jeremiah 51: 1- 64
* Arrows and parethesis are comments not scripture as indicated by the arrow, etc. My belief is we are looking at the "King" right now described in Jeremiah as the King of Babylon - and we will soon see the mask come off as his final term draws to an end. What should we do? Pray for him. Pray for his family. Pray for the nation. God will judge him in due time but our own responsibility towards all men ( and women ) is to pray for them. God's arm is not too short to reach the very worst sinner.
