Revelation 18 and the Fate of America: A “Magnum Opus”

James F. Gauss, Ph.D.

Forgive me for this self-promotion, but since Amazon and Facebook have blocked my advertising of this gem, this is one of the few ways I am able to let you know what you are missing. If America is ever to recover, we must know and account for our failures, seek God’s forgiveness and return to Him. If not, our lifespan will be shortened.

. . . the new version [of Revelation 18 and the Fate of America] is truly a magnum opus on what is happening to the USA and the world and so I did a review that is below.

This is a second and vastly updated version of the original published in 2014 [paperback, 2013]. Since the book is principally the same but much more has been added, I will start by presenting my review of the 2014 edition:

Revelation 18 draws a parallel between the fall of ancient Babylon described in the chapter cited and the current fall of the United States of America.

I read this book reluctantly because I have never really been able to understand the book of Revelation in either the King James Version or any of the newer ones. It has always seemed to me to have been written in an ancient code legible only to ancient peoples who lived around the time it was written.

Dr. James F. Gauss has taken this one chapter of Revelation and made it clear by contrasting its content with what has been and is going on in the USA today.

“As America’s wealth and power grew, so did its worldwide influence. However, what it gained in influence it relinquished to pride, moral collapse and perversion. The once great nation that was founded on Christ-centered ideals and life style slipped ever so slowly at first…then swiftly into hedonism and godlessness.”

The similarities pointed out verse-by-verse between the fall of Babylon and the ongoing moral collapses of the USA are indeed startling and tragic.

As John Darby’s commentary describes it: “(The powerful) mourn over her; so do those that have sought profit and ease and commerce in the earth. The royal and commercial system is shattered to pieces by the upset of the system. What characterizes her, that for which she is judged, is idolatry, corruption, worldliness, and persecution. She is judged destroyed, and the prosperity of the world is smitten by her fall…”

Dr. Gauss has shown how this chapter describes, not only the fall of Babylon, but also the fall of any country that loses its moral compass. This has been true of many countries over the centuries and is most clearly true today as regards the United States of America.

The 2021 edition contains all mentioned above and much, much more. It has been updated with much news and official reports, analysis and references pertinent to and consistent with, the original edition.

In addition to the news events pertinent to the themes of the 2014 edition, Dr. Gauss has researched in great depth almost every possible topic and action that bear influence upon the theme of the book and especially reinforce the comparison between Revelation 18 and current affairs affecting the USA since the first edition was published. The result is a truly massive quantity of data and information that make the new edition much more pertinent as a written photograph of the rapidly increasing advance of the very despicable public and private affairs that are bringing the USA to its end today.
