The re-formation of the Beast Empire, the Destruction of the Babylonian Empire, and the Return of 10-Israel to Tsiyon

Let me first say... that I believe the United States of America (with some intimate connections with the United Kingdom of Great Britain) form an Anglo-American Empire which is largely undeniable on an economic, financial, and militaristic level. This empire, in my mind and in the mind of many others, is THE End-Time Mystery Babylon spoken of by the prophet John in the book of Revelation.  The City of Babylon, New York is not-so-coincidentally placed at the very gateway to the chief city of the Empire. Look at a map.  New York state is even called the "Empire State". This is further detailed in my article: Traits of the 'End-Time' Mystery Babylon

On the other hand... and with somewhat less evidence, I believe the Beast (anti-messiah) will be a Shia-based Islamic leader, who will unite much of the muslim world on the platform of shared hatred and disgust for Mystery Babylon, disgust for her betrayals and maniacal self-interests, disgust for her economic and military presence throughout the Middle East, and disgust for the Israeli/Jewish presence she supports in the Land of so-called 'Palestine'.

The Beast's muslim alliance will be dominated by "the Medes" (modern-day Iran/Turkey) and will likely resemble the previously failed Islamic Ottoman Empire (note: the Ottoman Empire collapsed because of war with the West during WWI, primarily with the US and UK... a historic fact important to ponder here). The Beast (the individual ruler) will likely be from Iran, Syria, or Turkey... and will find influential ways to win the affection of many Sunni muslim populations, but some (namely parts of Jordan and Saudi Arabia) will escape his dominion... maybe supernaturally. Egypt, however, will be torn apart (Daniel 11:41-42). This is further detailed in my article: Traits of the 'End-Time' Beast and his Empire

Now that I've told you what I'm going to tell you, I'll tell you what I'm telling you.

The US & UK (Babylon) have been king-making and nation building in the Middle East ever since World War I (WWI). Most dictators and/or rulers in the Middle East were installed by Babylon and/or have in some way or another... made their bed with Babylon... primarily through pegging their currencies, oil sales, and other commodities on US Federal Reserve Notes (i.e., the US $). Since the primary central bank of Babylon has been wildly inflating the money supply over the last 3 years, there has been enormous increases in the price of almost every calorie-based product (i.e., food) within countries who are most exposed to the dollar, WHICH IS MOST OF THE WORLD. Of course, the FED denies the root cause, instead blaming 'global warming' and evil 'population growth' . This, and many other injustices, is causing indescribable rage... especially in the Middle East where anti-American, anti-UK, and anti-Israel sentiment has been surging for decades.

The claim among many political pundits is that somehow President Obama is losing Egypt and may lose all of the Middle East. For example, read some of what Dick Morris had to say about the situation in an article titled "Obama is Losing Egypt":

"Until now, Americans have regarded Obama's flirtation with the Arab street with a mild concern that he may be too naïve in his understanding of that part of the world. But his policy of appeasement toward radical Islam has yet to have any bad consequence. We have had some terror attacks, to be sure, but none has risen to the level of a cataclysm. But losing Egypt to the grip of Islamic fundamentalism would be a huge blow to the United States, Israel and to the entire Western world.

It would, literally, open the door to a theocratic Iranian-style empire stretching from Morocco to Iran. Inspired by an Islamic takeover in Egypt, Obama could find himself confronted with a Middle Eastern version of the old domino theory, where one nation after another falls to Islamism, with each new theocratic conquest destabilizing its neighbor.

Remember that Iran has a population of 79 million and Egypt has 75 million. Together, their 154 million almost equal the combined population of all the other nations in North Africa and the Middle East. If Egypt and Iran were to work in tandem, they could control the region."

Obama isn't losing Egypt. Babylon is losing Egypt. Obama is merely a puppet of Babylon's fascist/elitist controllers... and the loss of Egypt is merely a byproduct of their over-reaching, drunken greed. They will try to co-opt and quell what is happening all over the Middle East... and they MAY be able to setup another Mubark-type puppet in Egypt and other states in turmoil, but eventually, things are going to come completely undone. In fact, this may be what we're seeing already... the very beginnings of the reformation of the Beast Empire... nations becoming completely incensed by Babylon's propping up of authoritarian/fascist regimes. This is how Babylon has essentially been "riding" these peoples for decades... and Revelation actually indicates she will be thrown from her saddle and devoured by her own prey (Revelation 17:16). We caught a glimpse of this mad desire when much of the muslim world became jubilant when New York was struck on Sept 11, 2001.

If Babylon is about to be thrown from the saddle... if that is what we're about to see... if that is what we're seeing (like a slow-motion international train wreck)...  there is also much else about to happen on/to planet Earth that will shake it literally at its foundation.

Let me explain.

The prophets John and Jeremiah foresaw that  Babylon would be destroyed via two fronts. One front will be human led... by an invasion and/or devastating attack by a Mede-dominated/Beast alliance (Isaiah 13:17-22; Jeremiah 51:11,27-28; Revelation 17:15-18). The other attack will come from massive earth changes generated from a great earthquake which will be felt around the world (Jeremiah 51:42, Revelation 16:18-20), where the oceans themselves will rise-up and devastate Babylon, utterly destroying her and leaving her without inhabitant.

These two attacks will likely not occur simultaneously, but nearly so... and maybe this is why John indicates twice that Babylon "is fallen, is fallen" (Revelation 14:8, 18:2).

How does one fall twice?  Well... you're knocked down. You try to get up, then you're knocked down again. Not that complicated, especially noting the prophetic passages above.

Note: there is no indication that Babylon is destroyed via economic decline... in order to bring about a so-called 'New World Order'. Babylon has essentially enjoyed global governance through a global currency for decades.

When do we escape?

Before the final and utter destruction comes, we know a remnant of Israel and Jew-dah escape "weeping and together" at some stage just before or during Babylon's last war. How they make it back to the Land of Tsiyon, we don't know exactly. There are many speculations. Supernatural assistance is most probable. Some may even come back as 'captives' of the Medes. It is difficult to tell at this stage.

For me, this is both dreadful and exciting to anticipate. Jeremiah clearly tells us that we will be weeping. Why? Again, he doesn't say, but it could be assumed that we will be traumatized by what we've seen and experienced... not only in Babylon, but around the world. In fact, the 'weeping' may be mixed with trauma and GREAT JOY at knowing we're finally going home to the Land of Tsiyon, a land not dominated by Babylon, the Beast, fascism, corruption, economic enslavement, religious enslavement, paganism, suffering, disease, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc...

The Psalm 83 Alliance and War

Some are saying the Psalm 83 war won't happen until the muslim world has nuclear weapons that can counter the Jewish nation's nuclear arsenal. Others suspect it will not happen until Mystery Babylon, the hammer of the whole earth, has been removed from the picture... or in preceding words, removed from "the saddle".

I'm leaning toward the latter expectation.

Personally, I believe the alliance and war of Psalm 83 will follow Babylon's demise, where the face of the planet and power-structure has radically changed... where the Muslim world will be emboldened against the seed of Jacob, the people of ...because they will no longer have Babylon's aid and protection. As mentioned above, many Israelites will likely have just arrived to the Land of Israel. They will be the "Israel and Judah" that escaped from Babylon (and other nations)... "weeping and together"... miraculously returning, but likely very weak and vulnerable. This time period may be what many of us hope for in regards to the "Greater Exodus" prophecy. It is likely at this time, we the refugees will desperately need supernatural deliverance from the Beast, his alliances, his hunters, and his war machine... and will show Himself strong on our behalf. However, not all will survive. There will be martyrs... and there will be a resurrection!

End-Time Babylon: a Mystery and an Enigma

Some will claim America cannot be Mystery Babylon because it is largely made up of Israelites or Ephraimites. Or it is pro-Israel/Jewish and a blessing to the Israeli regime... and a place of safety for Jews.

My answer: The US has also been a huge blessing to Israel's enemies. And YES, the US has a large Israelite and Jewish presence... which is ACTUALLY one of the confirmations that the US is Mystery Babylon. Carefully read all of Jer 50-51. When Babylon, the nation, is destroyed (as already indicated above)... Israel and Jew-dah come out of Babylon weeping and together just before she is utterly destroyed. If both groups aren't living in Babylon, how do they "come out of her"? Hmmmm?

The fact that Mystery Babylon, the great whore of Revelation, could somehow be related to or connected with the literal descendants of Israel... causes a serious emotional and doctrinal dilemma for many. However, were not Israel and Judah both figuratively equated with adulterous women by Jeremiah and Hosea and other prophets? This is an enigma and a mystery, but it is NOT far fetched or without precedent.

The vast majority of 10-Israel and Jew-dah are a stubborn, arrogant, and stiffed-necked people. Tragically, only a remnant from either will survive "Jacob's Trouble"... a trouble instigated by the Beast and yes, even facilitated by to punish His own people for their great perversions and wickedness (Hosea 6:1; Jeremiah 30:7-11).

Credit: R.A. Coombes, Steve Quayle, G. Edward Griffin, Webster Griffin Tarplay, John Coleman, and Joseph P. Farrell have offered the most evidence to influence my perspective on the identity of End-Time Mystery Babylon. Rico Cortes, Brad Scott, Bill Cloud, and Scot Dryer are probably the most notable in influencing my view on the identity of where the Beast Empire will arise. Not sure if any of them have combined both identity views... and I'm sure all of them would likely disagree with some aspect of what I've written.
