Hi Alex,

I do not discount that Babylon is wealth and religion like Wilfred says. I explain that in my Revelation Commentary in chapters 17 and 18.

What economic Babylon really is is the Satanic economic systems of the world since Babylon. On the other hand, Mystery Babylon is the satanic religious systems of the world since Babylon. Both will join together under global government at the end of this satanic ruled age.

Where I would differ is that I think both the religious system and the economic system will be identified with real cities at the end of the age when the Antichrist is ruling on earth.

Babylon the Great is the name that God gives the satanic worldly counterfeit Kingdom of God. That is why believers are told to separate from it.

I just read this really interesting article by Wilfred Hahn about Babylon and he has a totally different approach of what it could be.

Hi Alex,

I expect the rebuilding to happen after one of three things. 1. Iran is bombed and in revolution and taken out of the equation. 2. Iran takes over the area. 3. New York is no longer a suitable place for the world headquarters.

When globalist talk about moving the UN out of New York I think they will start the rebuilding of Babylon. Rome may be just be a temporary location until Babylon can be rebuilt.

The city also may be built as a Shiite response to the great city recently announced by MBS of Saudi Arabia. If oil prices keep rising, people in these oil nations will get ideas to spend all the new revenue.

Keep in mind that Revelation 17 and 18 is talking about more than a city. A city will represent the satanic religious and economic system at the end of this age but the city itself does not have to fulfill everything said. Read my Revelation Commentary for a full explanation.

Luke,

The Jews are already deceived. Satan does not have to counterfeit a Christian interpretation of a prophecy that the Jews do not even believe in order to get the Jews to make a covenant with the Antichrist.

Hi Luke,

Read the chapters, there is no way that the narrative in Ezekiel 38 and 39 can take place after the millennial reign. It does not make sense. Ezekiel 39 ends with the restoration of the promised kingdom. The only reason people come up with such nonsense is that Gog and Magog are also mentioned in Revelation at the rebellion at the end of the millennium. Gog and Magog is just identifying locations like east and west not wars.

The Bible says where Babylon is. It is in Iraq where the ruins of Babylon is today. I wrote an article on it. Also read chapter 17 and 18 of my Revelation commentary on Babylon

I think the UN will be shut down in the U.S.and moved to Rome. After the Antichrist rises from the dead the world headquarters will be moved to Babylon Iraq. Where the rebellion against God all began it will end.

The second option to deceive Jews, there will be spread another gospel, that the messiah didn’t come in the flesh but in the spiritual way, that the prophecy of 70 weeks is only a metaphor.

1. What do you think about theory that war described in chapters 38 and 39 in book of Ezekiel will take place after end of millenium when Satan will be loosed?

2. Can Dubai might be “chaldean Babylon” described in Revelation? If not, why will Satan rebuild Babylon near Baghdad? Is He (Satan) so confident?

Hi Doug,

People are coming up with nonsense all the time and I see no reason to keep supporting such people by buying their books or even wasting my time with their private interpretations. What percent of Bible prophecy books written over the last hundred years are still relevant today? Just the few percent that did not go off into contemporary fulfillment conjecture.

Most of the books that I bought on Bible prophecy over the years never get pulled out of my bookcase again became the conjectures they came up with were wrong. Any interpretation of Bible prophecy that is not pretty common to most people that study prophecy and take it literally always seems to be proven wrong.

The only part of the book of Daniel that is sealed up is what has not happened yet.

The book of Daniel is a progressive revelation to Israel of what occurs until the 70 weeks of years are fulfilled. It is the history that started with the exile of Jews to Babylon. If anyone is going to take the position that everything was sealed up until the last seven years they might as will discard the book of Daniel as a prophetic book that ever tells the Church anything. You could not even establish that there would be a last seven years without the literal fulfillment of the first 69 weeks of years by Jesus. Anything occurring after that is occurring in the last days.

The facts are that most of the visions of Daniel were already fulfilled in history and that is why we know that Daniel was a prophet and the rest of what he said will also literally be fulfilled. The history in the book is so accurate that history scholars have thought that the book of Daniel was written at a much later date than has now been proven to be the case.

Now along comes the prophecy revisionists that say that end time events will not happen as Bible prophecy scholars believed because they have a private interpretation unique to them. What they really do is read current events and then make it fit Bible prophecy. Then they write a book on 99 reasons why the Beast is Islam. Others over the centuries have come up with 99 reasons why the Roman Catholic Church is the Beast. And of course there are countless other private interpreters such as 99 reasons why the Bible does not teach a Rapture or 99 reasons why Jesus will return on the day after tomorrow.
