The Fall of Ancient Babylon & Parallels to America! America IS NOT Future Babylon..but Foreshadow?

I am NOT saying America is Babylon! But when I read this in Daniel 5 today..I saw some striking parallels!!
John Walvoord sees the events in Daniel 5 as a foreshadowing of the end of the times of the Gentiles when the King of kings returns "In many respects, modern civilization is much like ancient Babylon, resplendent with its monuments of architectural triumph, as secure as human hands and ingenuity could make it, and yet defenseless against the judgment of God at the proper hour. Contemporary civilization is similar to ancient Babylon in that it has much to foster human pride but little to provide human security. Much as Babylon fell… so the world will be overtaken by disaster when the Day of the Lord comes" (Chapter 5 Belshazzar’s Feast And The Fall Of Babylon)
