Oh. OH….. The bottomless pit is (UK/US – lady Liberty was always the whores whore, at least that’s how it will be remembered) collapsed nations. Pit of despair. And the people will rise up and k… All those at the top. But not the top top as they will be nowhere near.
Loagun:
You know what Isaiah said, Joe. “How the faithful city has become a harlot! She that was full of justice, righteousness lodged in her—but now murderers.”
Joe:
Yeah. And every time I think of New York, I see it. Before 9/11, they called it the faithful city—heart of the free world, city that never sleeps. After? It sold itself. Fear became currency. Justice was traded for war.
Loagun:
The towers were more than steel, man. They were symbols. When they fell, the harlot rose. Flags turned into blindfolds. Oil was the dowry. Blood was the bridal veil.
Joe:
I walked those streets after the dust settled. People prayed together, cried together—there was a moment of true spirit. But it didn’t last. The merchants came quick. Contracts, wars, surveillance—Babylon remixed for the modern age.
Loagun:
Isaiah wasn’t writing just about Jerusalem. Prophecy echoes, like a bell across centuries. New York was the faithful city, and post-9/11, it showed the world what happens when righteousness is replaced with profit.
Joe:
And here’s the thing, Loagun. The prophecy isn’t over. Isaiah also said the Lord would restore judges as at the first, and counselors as at the beginning. Maybe the harlot isn’t the end. Maybe it’s the warning before the cleansing.
Loagun:
Or maybe it’s the test. To see if anyone still believes the city can be redeemed.
Joe:
I do. That’s why I keep walking through this hell. Because if New York can rise again in justice, maybe the world can too.
YOU LEAVE MR BURNS OUT OF THIS!!!
