Babylon the Great was Jerusalem - Because Talent-sized Objects Fell on Her

In this video, we show that Babylon the great was Jerusalem because she had talent-sized objects fell on her. These were white catapult stones the Romans used in the siege of Jerusalem during the first Roman revolt 66-70AD. We also see that the Jews would yell out "the son cometh" when they would see these stones approaching. This may have been a mockery of Christ's prophecy 40 years earlier that armies would surround Jerusalem and lay her even with the ground. Lastly, we briefly address the objection of literalism for the book of Revelation. 00:00 Introduction 00:15 Trivia 01:47 Revelation passage (prediction) 02:51 Josephus, history (fulfillment) 04:46 "The Son cometh!" 06:22 An objection addressed 07:38 Conclusion Josephus, Wars of the Jews, Book 5 https://penelope.uchicago.edu/josephu... "Now the stones that were cast were of the weight of a talent; and were carried two furlongs, and farther. The blow they gave was no way to be sustained; not only by those that stood first in the way, but by those that were beyond them, for a great space. As for the Jews, they at first watched the coming of the stone: for it was of a white colour; and could therefore not only be perceived by the great noise it made, but could be seen also before it came by its brightness. Accordingly the watchmen that sat upon the towers gave them notice when the engine was let go, and the stone came from it; and cried out aloud, in their own country language, the stone [16] cometh. So those that were in its way stood off, and threw themselves down upon the ground. By which means, and by their thus guarding themselves, the stone fell down, and did them no harm. But the Romans contrived how to prevent that, by blacking the stone: who then could aim at them with success, when the stone was not discerned beforehand, as it had been till then: and so they destroyed many of them at one blow. Yet did not the Jews, under all this distress, permit the Romans to raise their banks in quiet. But they shrewdly and boldly exerted themselves, and repelled them, both by night, and by day." Josephus's footnote: [16]"What should be the meaning of this signal, or watchword, when the watchmen saw a stone coming from the engine, "the son cometh"; or what mistake there is in the reading I cannot tell. The MSS both Greek and Latin, all agree in this reading. And I cannot approve of any groundless conjectural alteration of the text from ΥΙΟΣ..."Many will here look for a mystery; as though the meaning were, that the son of God came now to take vengeance on the sins of the Jewish nation." Which is indeed the truth of the fact; but hardly what the Jews could now mean. Unless, possibly, by way of derision of Christ’s threatening so often made, that he would come at the head of the Roman army for their destruction."
