”FREE PEOPLE WILL SET THE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY”, SAYS BUSH

In Isaiah 47 we read the words of ancient Babylon, as she declared her invincibility.  President George Bush this week similarly declared the invincibility of the USA in these words:

 

“…free people will set the course of history…And if war is forced upon us, we will fight with the full force and might of the United States military — and we will prevail...”

 

The USA, like ancient Babylon, is truly a great world superpower.  She has set the paradigm of a secularist nation since the “Age of Enlightenment”.  She is the New Atlantis which had been dreamed of by philosophers like Francis Bacon.  She has worldly wisdom and knowledge, to perform great feats.

 

But her strength will be her undoing. America’s worldly wisdom and knowledge have perverted her, just as it did ancient Babylon (Isaiah 47:10).  She has been corrupted by her rebellion and her sorceries, in violation of the Ten Commandments. Her leaders have engaged in sorcery, as was the case in ancient Babylon (see Isaiah 47:9).  Remember how it was disclosed that Nancy Reagan consulted an astrologer for advice, and how Ronald Reagan followed that advice in making national decisions?  Remember how Hillary Clinton said she had conversations with Eleanor Roosevelt?  Jesuitic-Masonic Gnosticism (which is often described today as the New Age Movement) has swept through the nation, and this Gnosticism is really an importation from ancient Babylon, as F. Tupper Saussy documents in his book Rulers of Evil.  Freedom in the USA means freedom to sin and rebel against God with impunity.  And this has led her into whorish perversions, away from the reformed Protestant heritage of her colonial days.

 

I have noted in my book Let My People Go how I believe the mysterious whorish “Babylon” spoken of in Revelation 17-18 is Washington, DC and the nation it represents.  The USA will be destroyed by a wicked Romish “Beast” I believe, just as ancient Babylon was destroyed by a wicked “Beast”.  Desolation shall come upon her suddenly.  She will not ultimately prevail.
