The number one point of contention regarding biblical prophecy of future events is the time sequence of when they will happen. Today’s Christian community is often at odds with one another, seeing through a glass darkly, arguing over the scriptural timeline of end-time events. However, if you spend some considerable time delving into the Word, as I did in my latest book, “America’s Josiah Moment,” you can see that not only does America perfectly fulfill the description of Babylon the Great, but we are smack in the middle of a prophetic convergence.
“Convergence” is defined by “the act of moving towards union or uniformity,” and that is exactly what is happening now. The depictions of the end days are aligning perfectly with what is happening in today’s society. The world has watched America dominate global trade, finance a war machine second to none, and fulfill her role as the richest, most powerful empire of the world. Through the Abraham Peace Accords, President Trump is trying to bring peace between the sons of Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac. But this act can only temporarily delay what biblical prophets have already foretold — the wheel is in motion, the stage is being set and biblical prophecies are rapidly being fulfilled. But are current-day prophecies converging with scripture? Are we being warned that on the day of her destruction, Babylon will look like and act like Sodom and Gomorrah (Isa 13:19)?
Jeremiah 23:20-21 says, “In the latter days you will understand it clearly. I did not send these prophets, yet they ran; I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.” Jeremiah prophesied the fall of Jerusalem to Babylon — and in 605 BC, it happened exactly as he said. Yet even before the 70-year Babylonian captivity began, Jeremiah foretold the future judgment of Babylon itself. Why? Because surely “the Lord GOD does nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7).
But here’s the prophetic twist: Could Jeremiah’s word be a dual prophecy? A typology with one fulfillment in his day and another in ours?
