I really wish that God had been more clear on exactly what "mystery Babylon" is and what exactly is meant by Babylon being a major place of power and commerce. I too find it very interesting that there is some activity buzzing around the place lately.
About a year or so ago, a friend of my son's, who had been in Iraq with the Marines and was home on a leave, had a picnic at his house and, out of nowhere, stood up and announced to everyone, "I hope you are all saved because things are beginning to happen with Babylon". He refused to elaborate any further. It was odd.
I have heard of late that the confederacy is actually a ten division confederacy, which encompasses the entire world, with the ten divisions being:
This could theoretically mean that the Antichrist could come from anywhere in the world. However, Scripture tells us that he will come from the "people" who destroyed the Temple in 70AD- which includes both Europe and the present-day Muslim nations which were geographically part of the old Roman Empire.
I do believe very possible Islam/Rome could be the central religion perhaps in some way an alliance with Rome, lets say perhaps Rome being the religious hand to the people and Islam the enforcer of a combined institute, not necessarily in the hearts and minds of the people but more presented as a unified entity for the sake of “PEACE”...better said false peace.
I agree.
Well, there has been for years the idea of positioning off the hemispheres in the matters of trade etc. so your list likely comes into play for that, but the central economic governance I think will be in Europeor the Mediterranean area.. location wise. As well ,the main base for the one world religion as they both will be carefully and systematically joined in many respects.
I think it’s imortant that we remeber there are some who believe we will only , as Christians, see this coming into view and not be here. If that is the case without true believerrs being here the whole equation of how religion is viwed and believed will be led by the great deception written about..a “delusion” which God says He will send.
So people will be very easily mis-lead at that time. Just about anything could be presented and believed to move the masses....heck, look what Bo did with his deception and the masses moved! Which certainly attests to the fact we are already ripe for the whole ball of wax to move quickly along.
