THE CITY OF BABYLON

The city of Babylon is being rebuilt and it is destined to become the centre of the last Gentile Global Government. The Anti-Christ will rule from Babylon with the 10 Islamic kings, over the whole world. The Political, Economic and Religious aspects of people`s lives will all be controlled from this demonic centre.

`Babylon the great .....has become a habitation of demons,
a prison for every foul spirit....`
(Rev. 18: 2)



The river Euphrates is even now being deepened so that ocean liners can navigate the river right up to the city of Babylon. The wealth of the world will be brought right into the heart of Babylon along the river which flows through it.

`that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea
became rich by her wealth.`
(Rev. 18: 19)



Historically the city of Babylon was where man attempted to `make a name` for himself. The region was called the land of Shinar and this is where man sought to build a very tall tower to give himself prominence. God however confused their language and thus the name Babylon came to mean confusion.

`they found a plain in the land of Shinar....
Come let us build a city and a tower ....
Let us make a name for ourselves...
The Lord confused their language ...and scattered them....`
(Gen.10: 2, 4 & 9)


Babylon – Heb. word `Babel,` meaning confusion.


Now at the end of the Gentile`s rule we see again man `building a city` with the desire for world dominance. This has been foretold by the prophet Zechariah who presented it as a metaphoric picture. Babylon will again become the prominent city at the end of this age.

`this is a woman .....this is Wickedness.`
To be set `in the land of Shinar.` (Babylon)
(Zech. 5: 7, 8 & 11)
