--- Quote from: Dennis Vogel on February 02, 2019, 10:01:36 AM ---I cannot think of any single city that qualifies for this:
Rev 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
Rev 18:15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
Rev 18:17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

In 2019 America still ranks number one as a world power and has the world’s largest economy and biggest military budget,
They are second only to China in trade, exporting trillions in merchandise every year, and I can see no other country that compares to ancient Babylon in wealth and Power.
I don't see modern Babylon as a single city, but a worldwide economic and political system, that no longer requires the Euphrates as it's life blood, as ancient Babylon did. Modern Babylons Euphrates, is it's banking system. The river banks of the Euphrates are now the river banks that hold money, that is also called liquidity. The collapse of this system would be huge.

China has been trying to turn itself into a consumer economy but the Chinese people save most of their money or invest in real estate. Relatively little gets imported into China other than raw materials.
