In keeping with the recent spate of apocalyptic movies like World War Z, it is interesting to note that the Old Testament prophets similarly warned the people of their day that any civilization stands only if God allows it. Even Babylon was overthrown to become a place where "wild animals will lie down and its houses will be full of howling creatures."
