The Jews were in Jerusalem during the time of Jesus and the temple destruction so Jesus again fails to return the Jews to Jerusalem if they are already their.
Again, it was not a bodily, visible coming. He "came" in judgment. He used the Roman armies to exact that judgment. The proof of His coming was the destruction of the Temple and the city just as He had promised. "Behold, your house is left unto you desolate" (Matthew 23).

Jerusalem is Babylon. The Lord showed ME this from His Word! It's there for all to see!

The New Testament authors described Romans as Babylon.

I understand that Jesus spoke to the people in the temple of their wicked ways but you are leaving out his Signs of his return and that is found in Matthew 24.

21For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. 22If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. 25See, I have told you ahead of time.

26"So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

29"Immediately after the distress of those days
" 'the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'[c]

30"At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. 31And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

Their is no proof that this ever happened. Actually their is proof that it did not happen. But If Jesus did return in 70ad Like he claimed he would, then that would be the end of ages. But the temple was destroyed not by Jesus but the Romans. Jesus has no supernatural powers he is just a man that died in 33ad that some believed he was the Messiah. At that time many people believed that their were many rabbi that could be the messiah but it never happen.

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]of about 3 acres. I walked out into the field and looked back on my porch. There was a man with a big beard[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]standing there. He said nothing and I said nothing. I turned and looked into the sky. Then the whole sky turned into[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]a big drive in movie screen. The entire sky was a big screen. I just looked in awe and this is what I saw. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]A man, mid-eastern looking, was just standing in a military uniform. He was an Arab looking man, but his uniform was[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Russian. He was under water because bubbles were rising around him as he stood there. Then the water rushed[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]and the screen turned into a scene of the daytime sky. There were jet streams going across the sky. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]There were so many jet steams and people came out of their homes screaming. People knew their worst nightmare had come.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]I just wanted to thank Him for my life!!! asking for nothing!! I never had such a spirit of thankfulness for my salvation in my entire life. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]And then I sensed a presence come in the room. I got up and sat on my small couch. I began trembling as I felt the same surge that I[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]felt in that field years ago, only this was concentrated in [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]3 places on my body. My knee, my foot, and my hip. It was like liquid fire or [/SIZE][/FONT]

Hey, here's a radical notion: suppose that Jeremiah was actually writing about the situation that was going on in his time...NOT the United States (about which he couldn't possibly even have imagined).

Jeremiah was one of the "prophets of exile," writing after the Kingdom of Judea was broken up and its population exiled--not apocryphal storytelling, but historical fact. That was his driving concern. Anyone is free to interpret his writings in their own terms, which is precisely what's happening here. But he certainly wasn't trying to foretell the history of a country that didn't come into existence until some 2300 years after his death.

Awesome, Gene!! I'm going to clean up your post because it's hard to read. It needs to be out there and easy to read because these are the type of stories and visions that need to be heard.

Thank you so much DayoftheLord for sharing your story. God has also shown to me the things that will befall America as well. Long ago God show me in His Word, Revelation 18. I believe this will not occur for sometime yet, but I do believe I well see it in my lifetime, that is, if God allows me to live a normal life cycle. When I was about 4 years old I had a vision of the coming anti Christ, yet I only discovered what that vision was about when I was much older. There are not many people here who can begin to grasp what we are talking about, but then again, Noah had the same problem in his day. And your right, most of the one's who give you the problem when you try to share this information, are often the ministers in the churches. Which should tell you something about the condition of the church these days. Yes, America is the end time Babylon spoken of in the Scriptures, and a great number of Americans no longer care about the things of God. They have embraced laws that allow the killing of the unborn, and they elect leaders who will fight to support those laws. As Christians, all we can do is tell others to look to Christ. For the days are coming, when only Christ will be able to protect us.

The prophecies that Jeremiah was speaking about do not match events of his time, and the prophecies are spoken not only in the Old Testaments, but in the new Testements as well. And that is why in the 17 chapter of Revelation it calls this Babylon, MYSTERY BABYLON. To understand who this Babylon is, it requires both the Old and New Testaments together. It appears God put half of the Prophecies in the Old and the other half in the New Testaments. If you consider all the information given in Jer. 50 and 51. And Revelation 18, you will discover there is only one nation that can fulfill these prophecies. And that nation would be the United States. The prophecies could only come to pass after Israel returned from a world wide exile, and setteled in both southern Israel, and retook Jerusalem. Also, the nations of the East would have to have the ability to field an army of 200 million men. This is all occuring in our day, and none of this was fulfilled in the past.

Default Is America Babylon?

I can't tell you how much I agree with you. The Lord has been making it REAL clear that He wants me to flee this spiritual Babylon with my two babies. I have had several conformations from Him and the latest ones are more urgent thatn ever. The only problem is I don't know how. I've been praying dilligenly that the Lord yoke me up with like minded believers who are truly sold out to Him as me and my babies. REAL christians that hear HIs voice too. I have a web site narrowgateministry . Please visit it. My contact information is in the contact link. I feel like I am alone on an island by myself with my babies, because everyone else so far seems to be asleep. God bless you friend, keep in touch. Reina

It would be a great opportunity for us to overcome divisions, and grow in grace! The great tribulation will be of a great help to the Church. It will in effect be a crash course to prepare us to meet our LORD JESUS.
