Babylon.
I remember at 15 being in the car with my grandmother who was a preachers wife. We were talking and I said...”I think the USA is end times Babylon”...I remember coming to that realization it as though it were a flash. I remember her looking startled then she gave me a smile I had never seen before...”Do you think so...?(not why do you think that) she asked...I remember saying something about how it all seems to fit. Then the conversation changed. It was funny how your comment brought back that memory!
