Does this even merit a rebuttal? I doubt it, but here goes:

"Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen" (Rev 18:2)-- Our nation hasnt fallen-- indeed, we are as strong as we ever were. I havent seen us cowering in fear-- I see American patriotism revived like I have never seen in my nineteen short years on earth.

"And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more" (Rev 18:12). Didnt happen. Our economy hasnt tanked yet.

"And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived." -- Rev 19:22-23. Nope. Didnt happen. The devestation isnt so bad that NY will forever be in darkness, nor is it so bad that people will stop marrying.

Do try to do a little better job of hermaneutics before shooting your mouth off.

"Babylon" is not a particular place It is "the world," that is the "nation" of those who "worship" the things of the flesh.

"Babylon is fallen" simply signifies the overthrow of worldly, fleshly power in favor of the Kingdom of God.

Some good points to keep in mind but it could be a foreshadowing of what is to become of NYC. I saw the same correlation myself with Rev. 18 but I do agree with Falwell and Robertson that it appears that God has taken away His protection. I realize that this is not something we want to hear in America but we need to hear it. God will not heal our land until we toss out the degenerates that have kicked Him out. Time to clear out the money changers and take back America for God and Americans.
