The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It                40
commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be thrown into the fiery furnace. The king
also ordered that the furnace be heated to 700% of its normal temperature. God saved his three
loyal servants in the midst of the fire. When they came out, there wasn't even the smell of smoke
on their clothes.(Daniel 3:8-27)
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are a type and shadow of how God will protect his
faithful who refuse to accept the mark and worship the image of the beast. The story clearly
shows that it is Babylon who will command the world to accept the mark and worship the beast.
It is also Babylon who will order the death decree upon God's faithful.
Babylon and the Jews
There are more Jews in America than in Russia and Israel combined. According to the
2001 census, there are over 6 million people attending Jewish synagogues in America
17
but there
are many more people of Jewish decent in America who do not attend synagogues or who attend
Christian churches. The Jewish population of Israel in 2001 was 2.59 million; the estimated
Jewish population in Russia is 1 to 2 million.

The prophet Micah said that Babylon would be a
refuge for the Jews and would protect them from there enemies; America clearly is that nation.
Micah wrote:
Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in
travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the
field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the
LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. (Micah 4:10)
The prophet Zechariah instructs the Jews that they are to flee from the daughter of
Babylon; he writes: “Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.”
( Zechariah 2:7) America is clearly the daughter, for ancient Babylon was the original or mother.
The 2001 census and the National Jewish Population Survey both estimated that there were
300,000 fewer adult Jews in America in 2001 than in 1990. This was an astounding 5 percent
drop in population.

Gods word in being fulfilled today! The Jews are fleeing America and
returning to Israel.
The Judgment of Babylon
God judged Babylon for her wickedness. As with any nation or empire, God would have
healed her if she would have repented but she didn't repent. Jeremiah writes: “We would have
healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country:
for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.” (Jeremiah 51:9) In
another account, Isaiah prophesied:
The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.... The noise
of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of
the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host
of the battle. They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the
