I study prophecy but could not find this anywhere in my Bible.
here's a good online book about it.
"Scattered into all the nations that make up the spiritual empire the Bible calls 'Babylon', the people of God have been held captive in a pagan environment. This captivity became a key part of the mechansm for the rescue of God: "To Babylon you must go and there you will be rescued; there God will ransom you out of the power of your enemies." (Micah 4:10). Pagan in its origination, Christ tried to cure the Roman empire and lead it to God. His disciples poured the Gospel of heaven inside its philosophic borders, filling the whole to overflowing. This Christian attempt at cleansing Babylon met, at first, with immediate success. The infusion of the Gospel saved the captive children of God, but the healing of Babylon, itself, proved shortlived. Like a cancer once in remission, paganism has quietly returned, suddenly turning metastatic in our day, and bringing western civilization immense notoriety in the modern world for a decadence unparalleled since the time of the Caesar's. It's conversion to Christ is the proof of the mortal wound Jesus delivered to paganism -- the one described by John in the Book of Revelations -- and the western world's recent recant of that conversion, the wound's healing. Rising up from the ashes of Sodom and Gomorrah, capitols of hedonism like 'Hollywood' and 'Las Vegas' now stand as sister-cities to their originals, and others just like them are rising up to dot the landscape of the nations of the western world. Powered by people who hate Christ, these real-life 'Pottersville's' are enemies of everything the Bible stands for, and they are spewing out a satanic and godless filth that has covered the world like soot pouring up from a vast spiritual chimney rising up from the depths of the devil's Abyss. As this empire's decadence grows, so, too, does a spiritual mace on the other side of the Euphrates river. It is growing there in response to the Bible's law. The only thing that has kept this Persian giant in remission is faith in Christ. With that now in freefall, Persia has awakened and has begun to break off its chains. Spiritually these two empires designate sin on the one side, and its scourge on the other. In spiritual terms, Persia is the Bible's natural law -- a response built right into the creation as an answer to profligate behavior. It has nothing to do with the judgment. That comes later. The tribulation and the judgment are completely different and are powered by entirely different entities. It is the Bible that brings the tribulation, because, as Jesus proved, its terms must be followed. It is God that brings the Judgment and that will come after the tribulation has ended. Babylon is a conglomerate of nations buried in sinful conduct, while Persia is the destructive force that is destined to bring Babylon to its final ruin."
