History reveals the great city of Babylon was conquered in one night, without resistance, in 539 BC by Cyrus the Great. Revelation 14:8 reads:
14:8 And there followed another Angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great citie, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Incorrect statement about Christians. Bible is inerrant Word of God. Flaws included. And I have staked my life on it, and have met and spoken with the Christ face-to-face. Deuteronomy is a history book, not prophecy. Your interpretation is false.
