How is Gods punishment of Babylon similar to His punishment of Assyria?
The Assyria God is talking about is actually the current country of Syria. The destruction God is referring to is the destruction of Damascus and the rest of Syria that takes place just before the start of the Tribulation. This destruction will be by nuclear bombs that are dropped by Israel after Syria has committed some major attack by weapons of mass destruction upon Israel. God’s destruction of USA/EU is similar, except on a much larger scale.
