Where is the US in End Time Prophecy?

I had been hopeful and prayerful we didn't have to go the route of the world and the one-world order. After all, the anti-Christ does appear to have opposition in the Bible. Couldn't the United States, that Christian nation, founded on God's moral laws, oppose the anti-Christ and not be a part of the one-world system and the mark of the beast? It's the main reason why I wanted to work with organizations like Concerned Women for America and be a Christian political activist and try to shine light on bad laws, to bring us back to our foundation. But it has never felt more like fingers in the dike, barely holding back a flood of destruction, than it does right now. Especially if we have an Obama presidency! Oh, McCain's not a lot better when you consider his UN views and open borders and shame-on-us-we-torture-prisoners mentality, but at least he doesn't stand for the pure evil that Obama does. This land is full of the blood of the most innocent sacrificed to idols of selfishness and convenience so that people can engage in lustful behaviors with no consequences, no "punishment with a baby" as Obama puts it. This guy not only believes in killing that innocent baby right up until the moment of birth, but if a baby is fully born because of a failed abortion attempt, he believes that baby should be left on a shelf to die! How do you get more evil than that? He claims to be a Christian, but he twists the words of the Sermon on the Mount to claim they advocate homosexuality???? Actually, he didn't actually use scripture to advocate it. He just created the illusion that it was there by referring people to the Sermon on the Mount if they had any problems with it. And people who don't read their Bibles and don't know scripture are in awe because Obama is a Christian who can make them feel better about their sinful choices! Well, what scripture does say is that we are to use the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as an example to those who AFTERWARD live ungodly! Live ungodly how? Well, I would venture to guess as the Sodomites did!! But this country boldly presses onward with its "enlightened" tolerant views and wants to elevate homosexual behavior, what God called an abomination, to the status of God-ordained marriage! This country is bringing destruction on itself and doesn't see it.

Recently, I came across these verses in Revelation 18:9-11:

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

Since there is no Babylon now, we have to assume this is a symbolic name for a place in existence now. For the first time, I saw the possibility of the US in that prophetic statement. What place on earth would cause all the world leaders to mourn at her demise? I have never given that a lot of thought. But it doesn't seem there would be too many. A few scriptures later in Rev. 18, it speaks of what a rich city she was and of the merchants who were made rich by her. Her own merchants were the great men on earth but by her sorceries all the nations were deceived. ALL the nations were deceived? What place has that much influence? I'm not sure I know the answer, but it certainly gives me pause for serious thought. The prophetic scriptures speak of a city, Babylon, but as Babylon may be symbolic, I wonder if "city" is, too. What about the home of the U.N., the place that Mayor Bloomberg called the "capital of the free world"? It makes me uneasy, especially knowing the audacity this country has in trouncing all over God's moral laws. "How much she has glorified herself...." says Rev. 18:7. She is so wicked and she doesn't even see it. *sigh*
