America for the most part has turned against God but she is not Mystery Babylon.

I wish you were right about that, but I'm afraid you're not.

[[I wish you were right about that, but I’m afraid you’re not. ]]

I know for a fact that America is not Mystery Babylon because John tells us where Mystery Babylon is .

MYSTERY BABYLON IS IN THE DESERT

America may have a desert it in BUT she is not in a desert.

The word translated wilderness in Revelation does not mean a forest it means a desolate place , a desert .
https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/Lexicon/Lexicon.cfm?strongs=G2048&t=KJV

Rev 17:3

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

Here we have the same word used again .

Heb 3:8

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: G2048v

So where were was it that the Hebrew people hardened their hearts ? It was in the desert near Mount Sinai in Arabia
(Paul was taken to the same place to learn for 3 years see Galatians chapter 1 , Jesus himself spent 40 days in the desert when he was tempted by Satan to turn rocks into bread}

And Isaiah tell us where she is
the desert by the sea is Arabia
He even tells us who is going to come against her
Elam (that is Persia - IRAN)

(Isaiah 21:1) The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.

(Isaiah 21:2) A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.

(Isaiah 21:3) Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.

(Isaiah 21:10) O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.

(Isaiah 21:11) The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?

(Isaiah 21:12) The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.

(Isaiah 21:13) The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.

(Isaiah 21:14) The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.

(Isaiah 21:15) For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.

(Isaiah 21:16) For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:

(Isaiah 21:17) And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it.

(Isaiah 21:4) My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.

(Isaiah 21:5) Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.

(Isaiah 21:6) For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.

(Isaiah 21:7) And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:

(Isaiah 21:8) And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:

(Isaiah 21:9) And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
