Revelation 18:8-18

Okay, so I know not everyone believes in the Bible, and personally I'm not a Christian, but I do believe that many of the writings in the Bible were written by prophets and people that did have an understanding of truth. Revelation chapter 18 talks about a great city in Babylon (America in my view) that is burned with fire. The city is described as a place that merchants would weep over and talks about many types of things sold there such as precious metals, foods, cattle, etc. So I'm thinking that this is talking about New York City, the center for all trading of products in the world. So it could be argued that this was a prophesy of the attack on the WTC, but I really see this as a prediction of New York City being completely destroyed, possibly by a nuclear attack of some kind. This is the only way that Wall Street would be completely destroyed. Thoughts? Tweet
