Jeremiah he has a whole lot to say about Babylon and events taking place.

Please be specific. Jeremiah has a huge amount to say about Babylon, seeing as how God was very shortly to use Babylon to punish apostate Judah.

First Christ said Mark 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

Paul says ICorinthians 10:1 For the sake of space and time I am not typing verses 1-10 but the point Paul makes and puts in writing verse 11 Now all these things happened unto them (note Paul 1-10 starts with Moses to Christ as to who the them are) for ensamples: (examples) and they are written for our admonition, (warning) upon whom the ends of the world (age) are come.

I am not ignoring the rest of the chapter but only pointing out that Paul of all New Testament writers was well learned in the 'ensamples' prophets which was all that was penned when Paul wrote these words.

And yes Jeremiah has much to say about Babylon, the word means 'confusion', and one example that has not yet happened is Jeremiah 51:37 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant... and just like Judah refused to hear the Word of the Lord, there is nothing new under the sun.

Most Christians view the prophets as has been and not even applying to them this day. Yet Christ said take ye heed I have foretold you all things.... and He continually quoted these prophets from Moses, David, Isaiah etc... and John tells us in John 1:1 In the beginning (that would be Genesis 1:1) was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
