Found out for what what are you talking about?
I don’t think Rome is part of destroying Jerusalem at the end of the world you keep misquoted me and you have no idea what I believe.
What is it about some brethren here that don't like to be held accountable for what they say?
You said in your post...
"But
it is the beast and his army that destroys Babylon the great.
Revelation 17:16-17
16 The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17 For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority, until God’s words are fulfilled.
You see when it says that Jesus comes its His coming in judgement
and God uses evil empires to do His work just like the verses above says. The example of this is using Rome to destroy Jerusalem. The coming in the verse below also wasn't literal but symbolic for judgement on Egypt"
Let's break down what you said:
1. "... it is the beast and his army that destroys Babylon the great."
No, it is NOT the beast that destroys ITSELF. The Babylon Harlot as a queen per Revelation 17:3-4 SITS UPON THE BEAST OF TEN HORNS AND SEVEN HEADS, meaning the Harlot (Jerusalem) is in control OVER THE BEAST SYSTEM.
The Rev.13:1 beast = the beast kingdom of ten horns, seven heads, and ten crowns (what she sits over). Jerusalem (the Harlot) will be the RULING CITY over that beast representing a ONE-WORLD BEAST KINGDOM over all nations and peoples (i.e., the "waters" of Rev.17:1 and 17:15)! That is where the coming Antichrist (false Messiah) is to rule from, i.e., Jerusalem. This is why the Harlot says of herself in Rev.18 that she sits as a queen, and am no widow. That is an Old Testament pointer to Jerusalem in widowhood per Lamentations By her saying she is no widow, means she is 'married', but not to God in this case, but to the coming Antichrist. Afterall, per Revelation 21, Jerusalem is also called the Bride of The Lamb.
2. "
and God uses evil empires to do His work just like the verses above says."
In past history God has used evil empires to do judgments, but not in the case of destroying the future beasts of Revelation 13. It is LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO will destroy that future beast kingdom and the beast king (Antichrist) on the day of His future coming. THERE IS NO EMPIRE INVOLVED IN THAT. The evil empire for the END IS... the beast kingdom of Revelation 13:1! That will be the ONLY one allowed to exist at the end before Jesus comes to destroy it!
3. "The example of this is using Rome to destroy Jerusalem."
And there it is, your FALSE assumption that Rome is involved as your "evil empires" idea that will destroy the beast. Not written.
I will lay it out for you down and dirty; up to you to confirm it in God's Word.
Jesus and His Apostles warned about the coming of a false-Messiah prior to His return to gather His faithful Church. That coming false-Messiah He specifically showed in Matthew 24, and said to not believe it when some say that is Him having returned.
That coming false-Messiah (actually pseudo-Christos in the Greek text), is to sit in a rebuilt Jewish temple in Jerusalem and proclaim himself as GOD, and over all that is called God, or that is worshiped (2 Thess.2). The Babylon Harlot is a symbolic name for Jerusalem in that time, fallen into false worship because of that future false-Messiah who the deceived will believe is God. That false one represents Satan's attempt to replace God, and even what belongs to God. And what's that? Jerusalem, because God said Jerusalem is where He has chosen to dwell forever, and He married Jerusalem symbolically per Ezekiel 16. Thus Satan covets Jerusalem for his own, and that is what he is going to try and do for the coming tribulation.
And for that reason, Jerusalem will be spiritually desolate by that future false idol worship the "another beast" (2nd beast of Rev.13:11-14) will setup there. Jerusalem will be made into the symbolic Babylon Harlot by that future act.
Yet that place is still... where the false-Messiah as king will rule over ALL nations for the coming tribulation. This is what today's movement for a "one world government" is about. And when that one-world beast kingdom is established, it will be the ONLY idea of an 'empire' to exist at the end.
This is why Daniel 2 reveals that ONLY Christ can destroy that future one-world beast system and that "man of sin" coming to sit over it at the end. Saying Rome is involved in that is like saying man came from a monkey (which some actually believe to their demise).
