Jesus describes the USA as He portrays His judgment of Babylon the Great.
The “great city” in Rev 16:18-19 symbolizes the USA when it portrays all of the cities of the nations falling as a result of the “great city” being destroyed by earthquakes. The USA is referred to as a “great city” because like a city, where merchants go to sell their goods, the USA is the center of trade in the world. When the earthquakes destroy their market place or the USA all of the cities of the nations will fall as a result. (Rev 16:18-19) And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. {19} And the great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath.
Rev 18:11, 17-19 describes the USA when it portrays that after the “great city” is destroyed by earthquakes all of the cities of the nations to fall because no one buys their cargos anymore; since all of the economies of the cities in the world are dependent upon selling their goods in the USA. (Rev 18:11) "And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more. (Rev 18:17-19) for in one hour such great wealth has been laid waste! 'And every shipmaster and every passenger and sailor, and as many as make their living by the sea, stood at a distance, {18} and were crying out as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What city is like the great city?' {19} "And they threw dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had ships at sea became rich by her wealth, for in one hour she has been laid waste!'
The name BABYLON THE GREAT in Rev. 17:5 is not the name of the great city, which is also depicted as a “great harlot” in Rev 17:1, as some would have you believe; but rather as it is clearly stated it is a mystery, which describes the place that the “great harlot” symbolizes. The mystery, "BABYLON THE GREAT" describes the USA when it depicts the great harlot as that place which is like “Babylon of old", but much greater in magnitude. As the "Babylon of old", but in a much greater magnitude, the USA, reigns over the entire earth and is the center of trade for the whole world. In Rev. 17:5, the mystery, "THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS”, describes the USA when it portrays the woman as that place which makes baby harlots or that place which all the nations are becoming like, which is commonly called "westernization". The USA is the MOTHER OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH since her corporations in a conspiracy to circumvent Christians have financially supported and rewarded politicians, judges and those who desire to corrupt America’s morals and the worlds morals.

Rev 17:2 and Rev 18:3, describes the USA when they depict the woman as that country with whom the kings of the earth join with in committing acts of immorality in the USA and in their own countries in order to obtain wealth.

(Rev 17:2) with whom the kings of the earth committed acts of immorality, and those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality."

Rev 18:7 describes the US when it depicts the woman as that country which says that she will never see morning or can never be destroyed. (Rev 18:7) "To the degree that she glorified herself and lived sensuously, to the same degree give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, 'I SIT as A QUEEN AND I AM NOT A WIDOW, and will never see mourning.'
Rev. 17:1, 15, 17, portrays the USA when they point out that the woman is that nation which reigns over peoples, multitudes, nations, tongues and the kings of the earth. (Rev 17:1) And one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here, I shall show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters,
(Rev 17:15) And he said to me, "The waters which you saw where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues. (Rev 17:18) "And the woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth."
Rev 18:15 describes the USA when it renders the woman as that place which immediately after she is destroyed the nations would still be afraid of her because of the military might that she wielded. (Rev 18:15) "The merchants of these things, who became rich from her, will stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
Rev 17:9-10 directs us to the USA when it describes the woman as that nation which is capable of sitting on or ruling over the seven heads or kings of the fourth and final beast. (Rev 17:9-10) "Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits, {10} and they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while.
Rev 17:11 describes the USA when it tells us that the woman is that place which is capable of ruling over the man of lawlessness when he comes out of one of the nations of the seven kings and becomes the eighth king that
the woman sits on or rules over. (Rev 17:11) "And the beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction.
Rev 18:21-23 explains that it is the wealthy merchants from the USA that have corrupted the entire world and have caused the USA to be judged.Rev 18:21-23) And a strong angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "Thus will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down with violence, and will not be found any longer. {22} "And the sound of harpists and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters will not be heard in you any longer; and no craftsman of any craft will be found in you any longer; and the sound of a mill will not be heard in you any longer; {23} and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer; for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorce
The judgment of the USA is executed in plagues including pestilence, mourning and famine followed by military defeat. (Rev 18:8) “For this reason in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her is strong.
Rev 17:12-13, 16 explains that the judgment of the USA is completed when the ten kings, the man of lawlessness, who comes out from among the ten kings and the seven heads or nations join together in a common purpose to destroy the USA with military force. (Rev 17:12-13) "As for the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour. {13} "These have one purpose and they give their power and authority to the beast. (Rev 17:16) "And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and will burn her up with fire.
