you know you can be right and wrong at the same time....Prophecies often point to near AND far term events. It’s not just one or the other but both

DUAL FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY
It can be argued that certain Old Testament promises had a greater fulfillment. Theologians call this “sensus plenior.” Specifically, the restoration of Judah from exile in Babylon can also be seen as a future restoration in Christ. But there is nothing in the New Testament that points to a greater fulfillment beyond Christ. If you think you can find such a passage, bring it forth.
Jesus never said or even hinted at anything like “Now these things will be fulfilled in is generation, and then AGAIN to some far distant future generation.”
Every strong empire throughout history, including the usa, has elements of babylon in it.
They get worse as the nation becomes more corrupt and moves away from God. Remember at he end Nebuchadnezzer gets his sanity back and praises the true God, and has the true God worshipped throughout Babylon. His heirs howevr do not, and go corrupt and move away from the true God, and well, you know...they are toppled and wiped out by other powers.
