Is there a prophecy regarding Babylon...

I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to prophecy. But, Is it a big deal that the U.S. now controls the ancient land of Bablyon? Anyone that has any useful info please post it, thanks.

Check out the thread "Bush's Saving Grace".

The battles of the bible aren't between nations, but rulers. Babylon when refered to in the Book of Revelation is not, I repeat, ISNOT ancient Babylon, but a prophetic metaphor or code for the city of Rome. I have started several threads here on ATS explaining this in detail. The legacy of Babylon is kept alive by the Curia and the Pope. I believe that the neonazis will turn against the Vatican just like Cain slew Abel and destroy the whole city of Rome somehow. Either it is the nazis or I may have to rework my whole understanding of it all or proove something further.

Babylon is described as "a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns." Namely Rome of about 95 A. D. or Babylon is a world unfaithful to God, committing fornication amid a vast traffic of materialism and sensuality. Sound familiar.
Just accept that Revelations is the destruction of Jersualem in about 95A. D.
I forget exact date. And now let's move on to human men with terrible will and power. With insulated secular beliefs formed over generations of incredible accomplishment and disdain for the masses. or I can take a hot shower and come back to my energy sapping computer and have a Coke.

Wow, Hamilton, we were going over the same thing in Church for the past 3 weeks!

Revelation implies that Rome (the kingdom) will still be an empire in today's world. When I first heard this, I assumed the pastor was mistaken and clining to straws. But then I got to thinking. Every one of our planets' name is that of a Roman god. 90% of our laws come out of Rome. Most European languages are latin based. Rome still plays a huge part in the world, 1500 years after it's supposed demise.

Hmmm..... Somehow makes you wonder what it is that they are really doing down there.....

Added: The Roman Curia is the traditional name of the Roman Senate, or rather the House of the Roman Senate; the Senate of Cæsar, Kaizer, Beast, choose your language.

And added again: And the word Church has the same etymology as Curiae, which means of the Curia; a senator. As in Greek Kyriakos, Latin Curiae, English Church or Senator. Starting to see the hidden dragon here? Once you learn what words mean statements like this above from the Vatican about the Curia suddenly becomes self evident.
