Yes, no matter how high the body count rises from abortion, from the broken lives of children raised without fathers, from exposure to pornography, from the celebration of greed and whatever is base or decadent—the modern West is too drunk to notice the harm she inflicts on herself. 70 million abortions, more than half of children raised in fatherless homes and in chaos
And pray some more Ping!
“John was saying that the “Great City” (Jerusalem – the great city which is allegorically called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified – Rev 11:8) had become Babylon. And he develops this theme in Revelation 18.”
Good! Most people miss (or willfully deny) the obvious connection between “Babylon the Great” in Revelation and Jerusalem. When Jerusalem is faithful, she is portrayed one way, but when she is unfaithful, then she is given a very different description by God.
“Sadly, by 70 AD, having been given 40 years to repent, Jerusalem was sacked, burned, and utterly destroyed just as this prophecy had warned.”
And, disappointingly, he goes off the rails in the very next sentence. It’s simply impossible for this prophecy to have been fulfilled in 70 A.D., because the fate that befalls Babylon in Revelation is tied intimately to the return of Christ, which has not happened yet. It’s sad to see Catholics falling into preterism, I didn’t think they went in for that silliness.

Yup. Been saying for years. Hence my screen name.
