The populace of the United States is drawn from every people, but some believe prophetic references to the tribe of Manasseh refers to it. Also to an extent Ephraim, but that is thought to speak more to the English aspect of the nation.

The great city of prophecy that is destroyed and mourned from afar by the merchants of the world has been assumed by many to reference the US.

It didn’t exist at the time, it’s people are varied and many, and the land itself was little known, so any reference would of necessity have to be more symbolic and abstract.

Amen. “Babylon” in Rev. 18 was written ultimately in Greek, but likely had the Hebrew meaning attached to it: “Babel”=”Confusion.” Our nation is about as morally confused as is possible.

That’s what happens when God turns a people over to a reprobate mind. That’s a spiritually insane mind that doesn’t function.
