Babylon The Great Is Fallen, Is Fallen
Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues
And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down,
and shall be found no more at all. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in you; and no craftsman,
of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in you; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in you; And the light of a candle shall
shine no more at all in you; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in you: for your merchants
were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived - Revelation 18
And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints,
(And of all that were slain upon the Earth)

Next Kingdom To Come
Kingdom Of God

"And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: 
and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever." - Daniel 2: 44.

The Next Kingdom To Come Will Be The Kingdom of God
The Bible Foretells Of Eight Empires That Rise And Fall Before The Return Of Christ And The Arrival Of The Kingdom Of God. 
Seven Have Already Come And Gone. They Are The Seven Heads Of The First Beast Of Revelation 13. Mystery Babylon, Of Revelation 18, Is The Eighth And Final Empire In This Lineup. 
The Identity Of Mystery Babylon Is That It's An Image Of The Beast. It's An Empire That Is Patterned After One Of The Previous Seven Empires That Came Before It. 
It's The Eighth That Is Of The Seven - Rev. 17: 11. The United States Is Patterned After The Grecian Image Of Democracy And The Democratic Republic. 
It's A Federation Of Independent Republics With A President Who Rules Over The Nation/Empire. It's An Image Of Ancient Grecia And The Empire Of Alexander The Great. 
The United States Can Therefore Be Identified As Mystery Babylon And The Beast Empire Of Biblical Renown. The Prophecies In Revelation, Concerning Babylon, 
Are Aimed Directly At The United States, And The Western World Over Which It Rules. The News And Commentary Posted On This Website Is To Highlight The Final Days
Of The Beast Empire As Prophesized In The Book Of Revelation.

By 1921 the British Empire held sway over a population of about 458 million people, approximately one-quarter of the world's population. It covered about 14.2 million square miles, about a quarter of the Earth's total land area. This certainly qualifies the British Empire as the forth beast of Daniel, and makes it very diverse from all the rest. The ten horns of Daniel, arising from the forth beast, are in fact the formation of ten Middle East monarchies by the British Empire, after it gained control of The Middle East, During World War One, following the defeat of Turkey, and the Ottoman Islamic Empire, in conjunction with treaties involving France and the League of Nations. The ten kingdoms are: Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Turkey, Iran, Egypt, Basrah, Baghdad, and Mosul. Later, Basrah, Baghdad and Mosul were combined to form the nation of Iraq, the little horn that uproots three, just as Daniel foretold. 

The Ten Horns of Daniel, are also the Ten Horns and Crowns mentioned in the Book of Revelation, that sprout from the seventh head of the First Beast of Revelation 13. This is symbolic of ten kingdoms arising from the seventh empire. These Ten Kingdoms, remained in existence following the collapse of the seventh kingdom, the British Empire, and into a period when an eighth empire, represented by the Second Beast of Revelation 13, comes to rule over the same area of the Middle East. The reason why the eighth empire is not within the body of the first beast, is because it exists in a completely different geographical location, and on an entirely different continent, and is therefore represented as the Second Beast of Revelation 13. It's the North American Continent to be more exact, and the United States is the eighth, and last empire, to have ruled the location of Babylon, = Iraq, before the arrival of the Kingdom of God.

United States Driven By An Ancient Demon Of War
Beast From The Bottomless Pit Rises Again
The U.S. Is An Image Of The Grecian Empire Of Alexander The Great
The Beast That Was, Is Not, Yet Is
Deciphering The Meaning Of The Beast That Was, Is Not, Yet Is

"The beast that you saw was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. "And there are seven kings: five are fallen" (1) Babylon (2) Media Persia (3) Assyria (4) Egypt (5) Grecia, "And one is" (6) Rome, "And the other is not yet come" (7) British Empire, "And when he comes, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, (8) United States, and is of the seven" - Revelation 17.

All of the above empires ruled Babylon = Iraq. The beast (that was), before the Roman Empire, was the Grecian Empire of Alexander the Great. The beast (Is not), was the Roman Empire, when the Book of Revelation was written. The British Empire, was number seven, and just as Biblically foretold, it ruled Iraq for only a short space following WWI. Following the British Empire, The beast (Yet is), the United States, became number eight, after it conquered and ruled Iraq for a brief period following the Iraq war. "The beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven." - Revelation 17. The U.S. is of the seven, not only because it also briefly ruled Iraq, via military conquest, but also because the U.S. is an image of ancient Grecia, as a federation of states, each a constitutional democratic republic, even as Grecia was a federation of similar city states. This identifies the United States as the Beast Empire.

The Bible explains - Revelation 13, that Alexander the Great, the first king of the Grecian Empire, was empowered by the Dragon, which is later described as, "the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit" - Revelation 17, when the Dragon reappears at a future time, via an eighth empire that mirrors ancient Grecia. It's a demon of war and conquest. This is evidenced by the historical feats of Alexander, one of history's greatest conquerors, who forged the Grecian Empire. Alexander was a man whom legend describes as having miraculous power in his ability to conquer and make war, and whom it is said wept because there were no more worlds to conquer. 

With the sudden death of Alexander at a very young age, the Grecian Empire, was divided into four smaller kingdoms, which wounded the Dragon, because it's designs for world domination via the Grecian Empire were thereby curtailed. However, the Dragon returns as the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit, during the future reign of an eighth empire. His deadly wound is healed, insomuch as the Dragon commences it's original designs for war, conquest, and world domination, by empowering this eighth empire, and a ruler thereof.

Here we have the basis of the so called Anti-christ, another popular misnomer, because he is actually never referred to as Anti-christ in the Bible, but as the Beast. This of course means that because the United States is the eighth empire, symbolized by the Second Beast of Revelation 13, the Beast must therefore be a President of the United States. Perhaps this is not symbolic of a specific man, but any man who becomes President, or is President, during the final days of this prophecy, because the eighth empire is covertly controlled by the Dragon. Any man elected President during this time is only the puppet of a secret ruling cabal, that actually gives orders and dictates policy, just as Alexander was given his power, and seat, and great authority.

There is a biblical prerequisite for the position of the Beast in this scenario. His name must be associated with money, because nobody can buy or sell without the number of his name. He must also have been the ruler of Babylon = Iraq, the eyes, and the mouth speaking great things, as described by Daniel. This prerequisite exists within the definitive confines of the U.S. President. 

Former Presidents are printed on the face of U.S. currency, the world's reserve currency, and various Presidents represent the denominational amounts. Nobody on earth can buy or sell without using U.S. currency, the value of which is represented by a specific U.S. President, which is the number of his name. For example, George Washington is depicted on the One Dollar Bill, and Abraham Lincoln, is depicted on the Five Dollar Bill, and so on - U.S. Coins and Currency. Not all U.S. currency is represented by a U.S. President, but most is, and that's enough to fulfill these Biblical Prophecies. U.S. President Bush, also ruled over Babylon, with the defeat of Iraq, during the U.S./Iraqi war, another prerequisite fulfilled.

The biblical prerequisites for the eighth and final empire as represented by the Second Beast of Revelation 13, are that it must be the most powerful nation on Earth, dazzling the world with it's greatness, and a warlike nation that masquerades as peaceful, with horns like a lamb, but speaks like a dragon. It must be an image of the first beast that came before it, which is the Grecian Empire of Alexander the Great, the fifth head of the First Beast of Revelation 13. It forces other nations of the world to remake themselves in the same image, or likeness of itself, and it's monetary and financial system must be dominant worldwide, insomuch as nobody can buy or sell without the use of it's currency and financial system. 

All of the above prerequisites are met within the definitive confines of the United States of America. It became the most powerful nation on Earth, militarily, financially, and economically. Although appearing peaceful on it's exterior, the United States is very warlike, with a history of many wars, and current wars waged on a global scale, and a military budget second to none. It's military might is historically unprecedented. The United States is also an image of the ancient Grecian Empire, the founders of democracy, and the democratic republic. Grecia was a collection of individual constitutional republics, or city states, later ruled under a single federation, with Alexander as the first king. This is not unlike the United States, a similar collection of individual constitutional republics, or states, under a federal government, presided over by a President. 

The founding fathers of the United States patterned their new nation in the image of ancient Grecia, the inventors of democracy, and the democratic republic. Over one hundred U.S. cites are named after Grecian examples in history and mythology, and many government buildings are copies of ancient Grecian architecture. The United States also goes about forcing other nations to remake themselves in the same image, a copy of itself, a democracy, as was the Grecian Empire that came before it. Nations that don't worship this image are destroyed. The U.S. financial and banking system are used globally, and it's currency, the Dollar, is the world's reserve currency, so that nobody on Earth can buy or sell without the use of it's currency. 

The war on terrorism, and the U.S. alliance with Israel, has caused great hatred of the U.S. amongst the Muslim populations within the Ten Kingdoms, and contributing to a greater threat of war throughout the region. The United States is involved in a territorial dispute between Israel, and Muslims, over Palestine, and Jerusalem, and arming Israel against Palestine, and other Islamic Nations, which are of the Ten Kingdoms. The United States conquered Iraq, which contains three of the Ten Kingdoms, Basra, Baghdad, and Mosul, and is now threatening Iran, another of the Ten Kingdoms, by imposing economic sanctions, and threatening possible military action. The United States is sanctioning, and contributing to the violent overthrow, and regime change within Syria, another of the Ten Kingdoms, and the sale of military weapons to Israel, to be used against Lebanon, among the same Ten Kingdoms. U.S. foreign policy, and military/weapons support of Israel in Gaza, and the genocidal war in Palestine, and military action elsewhere in Iraq & Syria, are now causing a further polarization of the Ten Kingdoms against the United States, that now includes Saudi Arabia, who's leadership has opted to sell it's oil in currencies other than the Dollar, which spells the death of the Petrol Dollar. Saudi Arabia has also curtailed U.S. sponsored normalization plans with Israel, until Gaza has been given Palestinian Statehood. Jordan, And Egypt, are now joining the ranks, because both are threatening war over the Israeli invasion of Gaza. This completes the list, and makes the United States, in support of Israel, an enemy of the Ten Kingdoms, 

From these facts it can be safely concluded that a growing hatred of Mystery Babylon within the Ten Kingdoms has already begun, and insomuch as U.S. interests in the world are coupled with U.S. policy in the Middle East, it's no surprise that such hatred could lead to the collapse of Babylon. The U.S. is dependant on Middle East oil, supplied by the Ten Kingdoms, which up until now have held vast reserves of U.S. denominated assets, such as U.S. Treasuries. The fact that oil was traded in U.S. Dollars, gave the Dollar it's strength as the world's reserve currency, by forcing the nations of the world to hold vast reserves of U.S. Dollars, and to invest in U.S. Dollar assets, such as U.S. Treasuries, so as to transact the purchase of oil in U.S. Dollars. Here is another fulfillment of Bible Prophecy: "These have one mind and give their power and strength unto the beast."- Rev.17: 13. "These have one mind," is to say that the Ten Kingdoms are all Muslim Nations, and "giving their power and strength to the beast," is to say that they give power to the Beast Empire via their oil resources. All of this is now coming to a rapid end. 

It is easy to see how a growing hatred of the U.S. within the Ten Kingdoms, can bring down the empire, and it's global economy dependant on Middle East oil, and the Dollar. Extended and protracted wars, and economic sanctions, are causing a deepening financial burden for the United States, and weakening the dollar, by forcing nations to trade in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The resulting devaluation of the Dollar, and a sell off of U.S. Dollar assets, on a global scale, will bring down Babylon, and the global financial and economic empire it supports. China and Russia are developing new economic systems involving the Ten Kingdoms, that circumvent U.S. financial interests, and the Dollar, which is also contributing to a growing rebellion within the Ten Kingdoms against the United States and it's global economic system.

The Biblical prophecies concerning the eight empires, and the Ten Kingdoms, foretold to happen prior to the arrival of the Kingdom of God, have already come to pass. This means that the arrival of the Kingdom of God is very close, and much closer than most people now realize. However, most people believe that the Ten Kingdoms are yet to happen in some future European domain, where the so called Anti-christ is yet to rule, despite the fact that at last count there were twenty eight member states in the European Union, and not ten as the Bible defines. Perhaps that's why Jesus Christ said that many people will be taken by surprise when the Kingdom of God arrives. They are still waiting for these Biblical prophecies to be fulfilled, while these same prophecies have already come to pass right before their eyes. I can only conclude that the false prophet mentioned in the Book of Revelation, has everything to do with a false interpretation of Bible Prophecy, that blinds people to history, and keeps them from viewing their own nation, and their own leaders, as the fulfillment of these same prophecies.

Has anyone given thought to the possibility that the 'Abomination of Desolation' - Mark 13: 14, could be the U.S. Embassy standing in Jerusalem? 
The U.S. Embassy is a symbol of the U.S./Beast Empire, which can be considered an 'abomination of desolation' when linked to the wars, and destruction of Libya,
the invasion of Iraq, the terrorism in Syria, and regime change in the Middle East, Ukraine, and elsewhere throughout the world. 
Abomination Of Desolation is certainly a fitting description for the U.S. Embassy Standing In The Holy Land = Place.

Global Economic Collapse & The Fall Of Babylon
Fulfillment of Revelation 18
Great Whore Upon Many Waters

The current global economic and financial crisis is unprecedented in human history, because never before has there been a time when the entire world
was united under a single economic system, and a single currency, the Dollar, of a single nation, the United States, and a single banking system, the Federal Reserve.
It has taken since World War II, to develop the current economic and financial system, and the causes for it's collapse, and it is unlikely that such a system will again be
implemented in our lifetime. After the existing global financial/economic system fails, the world will most likely move towards a gold backed multi-currency system,
which has already been suggested by many. Because of the unprecedented nature of the global economic crisis, and when viewed along with the other biblical signs that
have already come to pass - Prophecies of Jesus, there is no doubt that this is a fulfillment of Bible Prophecy - Rev. 18: 11. This prophecy warns of a global economic collapse 
in the final days before the arrival of the Kingdom of God: "the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buys their merchandise any more."
