8.5 months left. September 13th will see the end of the US.
Yes, no matter how high the body count rises from abortion, from the broken lives of children raised without fathers, from exposure to pornography, from the celebration of greed and whatever is base or decadent—the modern West is too drunk to notice the harm she inflicts on herself. 70 million abortions, more than half of children raised in fatherless homes and in chaos
And pray some more Ping!
...unless His people, who are called by His name, wake up and pray.
Amen!
What is supposed to happen on September 13th?
Boy Howdy! If that's not the truth!
“John was saying that the “Great City” (Jerusalem – the great city which is allegorically called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified – Rev 11:8) had become Babylon. And he develops this theme in Revelation 18.”
Good! Most people miss (or willfully deny) the obvious connection between “Babylon the Great” in Revelation and Jerusalem. When Jerusalem is faithful, she is portrayed one way, but when she is unfaithful, then she is given a very different description by God.
“Sadly, by 70 AD, having been given 40 years to repent, Jerusalem was sacked, burned, and utterly destroyed just as this prophecy had warned.”
And, disappointingly, he goes off the rails in the very next sentence. It’s simply impossible for this prophecy to have been fulfilled in 70 A.D., because the fate that befalls Babylon in Revelation is tied intimately to the return of Christ, which has not happened yet. It’s sad to see Catholics falling into preterism, I didn’t think they went in for that silliness.
Don’t know details. But as a nation, we’ve ignored the last two warnings. The third time will not be pleasant, if we survive.
Oh, OK.
There’s a solar eclipse that day, and some people have been looking for “signs in the heavens” instead of just reading their Bible.
I just learned about the eclipse the other day. That’s not what led me to that date.
Why Sep. 13? Don’t take this as criticism but an honest question. Rosh Hashanah?
Elul 29 — the same date as 9/11 and the 2008 Stock Market crash.
Oh. Well OK, not something I would tend to be worried about then.
I take that back 9/11 happened exactly 7 days earlier—but the largest stock market crash to that point happened on Elul 29 when the markets opened back up on that day. They had been closed from 9/11 till then.

BTW, I have read the Harbinger. Regardless of what people think about it, one cannot deny the series of "coincidences" that are not really coincidences! I know we are supposed to always be ready, but very specially we need to be ready to face our Savior in the coming months. Oh, what a day that will be!!
I’ve always been taught that Babylon in Revelation was John’s code word for Rome.
And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms,
The beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride,
Will be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
It will never be inhabited,
Nor will it be settled from generation to generation;
Nor will the Arabian pitch tents there,
Nor will the shepherds make their sheepfolds there.
Note that Babylon will never be inhabited again. You cannot say that about Jerusalem and hopefully it won't apply to Rome or NYC, if they happen to be types of Babylon. Even the ancient Babylon was being rebuilt by Saddam Hussein! And, prior to that, goats and sheep were roaming the ruins. No, I think these are all lesser types of Babylon, the real thing is still to come. When the real Babylon is destroyed, it will be just like Isaiah prophesied.
