Mystery Babylon The Great

Spent are God's Woes, but the earth is not free;
The House of Islam rules by fear and sword;
Each Christian to Allah must bow the knee,
Or pay with his head for faith in the Lord!
The Antichrist puts his mark on each one,
So the few saints who elude cannot eat;
They can't buy or sell, because they have none;
A few survive, a most astounding feat!
"How long, O God," they plead, "will you delay
Your return to earth in glory and pow'r?"
And, in heaven. martyred souls also say,
"When, dear Christ, will you end their evil hour?"
His coming is nigh, and the whole Host stood
Ready, for God to avenge martyred blood!

Note: "The Antichrist And False Prophet" coming Friday, June 26! Don't miss it--new details never known before!

When God's three great disasters against the wickedness of the world are finished, the Tribulation has a few more months to continue. It is a crippled and depopulated world; remaining alive are an estimated one billion people, with only a small number of Christians. No strong nations are functioning, and Islam, which is called Mystery Babylon the Great has what John calls "one hour" left in its rule (See Revelation 17:12). Christ's Second Coming in power and glory will end their rule, which features a cruel war against the Lamb, the beheading of any Christian that refuses to worship Allah or take the Beast's mark on his head or hand. The Beast from the Sea of Revelation 13, called the Antichrist in popular theology, has been given power to rule by Islam; of course, both are operating by the power of Satan, who concocted the counterfeit religion of Islam for this very purpose.

"The ten horns you [John] saw are the ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast. They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast. They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings---and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers." (Revelation 17:12-14) (brackets added)

Chapters 17 and 18 of the Book of Revelation describe the rise and fall of Islam, or Mystery Babylon the Great. Baghdad, Iraq, will be their capitol city. Our winding-down war in Iraq, ironically, has made Baghdad easier to be taken over by Iran and militant Islam, led by Osama ben Laden, which is their ultimate goal. When they produce a legitimate Imam Mahdi, all rifts between Sunni, Shiite, and Wahhabi divisions of Islam will disappear, and Islam will be the major force left in the world after Woe One, the collision of earth with the astreroid or comet. Their holy city is Mecca, Saudi Arabia; it will be destroyed by a nuclear missile or supernatural disaster. It is the "city of seven hills" whose destruction is eulogized in Chapter 18.

Chapter 13 of Revelation describes the coming of the Antichrist and his method of beheading Christians who stand firm. Chapter 7 describes the great multitude of martyred souls during this time surrounding the throne in heaven. They will return with Christ and be present as the evil forces are destroyed.
