neither verse says the prophecies in Chapters 50 and 51 are about ancient Babylon. On the contrary, a close study of the 99 verses confirms they are for the future end days. Jeremiah 50:40, for example, states that the Daughter of Babylon will be destroyed "as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah." That type of dramatic destruction never happened to ancient Babylon, but it will happen to the Daughter of Babylon.

A major player in that destruction will be the Medes, today's Iran – a radical Muslim nation, which, not coincidentally, is officially committed to the destruction of Israel and America.

TO CONQUER THE WORLD – Given Jihadists' ultimate, unshakeable commitment to conquer the world, and knowing that bringing America to its knees will mean the rest of the nations of the world will fall like ripe plums into Muslim hands, no student of history, or of Islam, seriously thinks there will be any hesitancy against destroying America, even if it means the death of Muslims living in America.

Isaiah and the writer of Psalm 137 also state how God will view the betrayal of Israel: "O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us" (Psalm 137:8) "A dire vision has been shown to me: The traitor betrays, the looter takes loot. Elam, attack! Media, lay siege! I will bring to an end all the groaning she caused." (Isaiah 21:2) "I will take vengeance; I will spare no one." (Isaiah 47:3)

Therefore, arguing that a modern day Daughter of Babylon arising again in Iraq will be destroyed because ancient Babylon conquered Jerusalem over 2,600 years ago, ignores the fact that God tells us in His inspired Word that He has already punished ancient Babylon for what it did to Israel. Thus, the argument that the Daughter of Babylon will fall because of what ancient Babylon did to Judah won't wash. The Daughter of Babylon will fall because of what the Daughter of Babylon does.

As we have just read, the betrayal of Israel is the ultimate reason given in scripture for the destruction of the end times "Mother of Abominations" nation, also labeled the Daughter of Babylon.
