A TALE OF TWO BABYLONS

   The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
   And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
   For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
   ...for she sayeth in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
   Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire:  for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
   ...for in one hour is thy judgment come.
   For in one hour so great riches is come to nought.
   ...for in one hour is she made desolate.
   Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. 
   Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
   And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning.
   Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. 
   And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridgegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee:  for by thy soceries were all nations deceived.  (verses from the Book of Revelation, chapters 17 and 18)

  Is this prophectic judgement from God about Babylon, the Vatican, or Babylon, the United States?
  The answer:  both!
