Revelation 18:10
“Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.”
Sounds like a nuclear strike to me.
Or EMP.
I’d expect that if Iran gets into a conflict. Then at least SOME countries will move to actively support the massive hordes of very unhappy Iranian citizens.
At that point, Iran could be looking at external war, and potentially massive civil unrest. Possibly leading to an all out civil war.
I seriously doubt the doomed Babylon of The Revelation is modern day Iran. There are much better candidates for the description of economic power and cultural influence attributed to that Babylon than today’s Iran. IMO, the name is a metaphor for a world dominating, materialistic empire that leads people to worship that which is not God.
God smote Sodom and Gomorrah in a similar description. Were those nuclear bombs?
Have you have ever read Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank? I’d highly recommend the book.
Or a fireball from heaven.
