Okay, as you can see, I have um listed there some events that I believe are going to be birthed out of the conflict or the uh uh war, however you want to describe it, that is going on over in the Middle East right now with America, Israel, uh Iran, and now other countries are getting involved, and it appears even almost daily. And uh, but there's some very serious things that are happening. And remember, Jesus tells us that we we don't know the day or the hour, but we do know the season. And uh the church needs to realize the season that they are in and that is going on right now. Um the things that I have listed there is the rapture of the body of Christ, the destruction of Mystery Babylon, the destruction of Babylon the Great, the Antichrist revealed, and then the rebuilding of the Jewish temple. All those things are very close to happening and coming about because I believe that this conflict is going to lead us into those. And I believe that they're going to happen in the uh order in which I've got them written down here. First off, we're talking about the rapture of the body of Christ. And you'll notice there, I've got scriptures for you so that you can go and look up the scriptures yourself and uh be able to study and be able to rightly divide the word of truth as well. Uh, but the rapture of the body of Christ that is us, and that has to take place. And it will happen before the judgment of Babylon the Great in Revelations 18. And the reason that we know that is that in Revelations 18, verse 4, we see that uh that that is the rapture. We see that God is calling his people out of Babylon the Great, is calling it out of there, not just calling it to separate itself from the sin of that nation, but it also says so that they will not receive the plagues. Well, the only way that can happen is they have to be taken out of that nation. And so they're going to be taken out of that nation, and that's the rapture. And then I leave some other scriptures there for you. John uh Revelation chapter 4, he will be an example of the rapture. But what I really want to get into in this video, though, is uh about why that I believe that America is uh Babylon the Great, and uh the difference between Babylon the uh great and Babylon and Mystery Babylon, which is the mother of all harlots. Mystery Babylon, the mother of all harlots, which is in Revelation 17, is the demonic entity that is behind Babylon the Great. It is the demonic entity that is moving, that is forcing, that is motivating, that is drawing, that is working in the background on the sinful nature of man to uh bring about uh the kinds of sins and crimes and horrible things that are going on that will bring Babylon the Great to judgment. Mystery Babylon, or the mother of all harlots, is the same demonic spirit that worked on Babylon of old, and that is why it's called Babylon because there's a parallel with Neo-Babylon of old in the Old Uh Testament. Remember when the Jews were in uh captivity to Babylon uh during that time, uh there is a parallel there, and I'm going to discuss that. That's what I want to get into. Babylon the Great is actually the nation that uh that this spirit, the mother of all harlots, mystery Babylon, and that's why it's called a mystery because you can't see her, all right, with the uh naked eye. It takes spiritual eyes to see her. John has shown her, all right, and the Antichrist will turn against her, and the Antichrist will turn against uh Babylon the Great, which again I believe to be America. And as you look at the description for Babylon the Great, uh I see no other nation that could be Babylon the Great but uh America. And uh after the rapture takes place, all right, then Babylon the Great will be destroyed in about a day. Uh uh nuclear bombs will probably be what will happen and will be dropped on America to destroy her. Now, um how does this parallel with Babylon of old? Babylon of old was uh an empire from 626 to 539. That's the second empire of Babylon. It was even called the Chaldean Empire. And uh when Babylon fell, now here's what I want you to catch. When Babylon fell then to the Persian Empire, it fell under uh Cyrus uh the Great, C-Y-R-U-S, Cyrus the Great. It fell under Cyrus the Great. And here's what's interesting: the moment that Babylon fell under Cyrus the Great, uh Cyrus uh gave an edict to allow the Jewish slaves and exiles in Babylon to go back to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple so that they could continue the temple worship and the temple and the uh Jewish lifestyle uh during that time. And this is the very same thing that will go on. The rapture will take place, and when the um and when the antichrist destroys America, destroys Babylon the Great, is destroyed, then he will turn to the Jews and he will allow them to rebuild their temple. We know then that this will begin the uh seven year, uh the last week of Daniel's uh weeks of years, prophecy, the last week that is given to the uh to uh the seed of Abraham, because God is trying to fulfill his promise to Abraham to bring a remnant in to be saved in the last days. And this is the last week, and so it will begin that last week of seven years, and the first three and a half years, the Jews will be able to worship in the temple and things, and they will think that this Antichrist is their Messiah. But then what will happen is the false prophet will come in and set up the uh the abomination of desolation, which many believe could be AI, some type of it calls it a statue in the word, but it could be a type of robot, AI robot, that will be set up in the temple with the image of the beast, the Antichrist, and they will be told that they now need to worship the Antichrist. Now, uh that's when the Jews will realize that they have been deceived, and then then they will they will scatter because then the Antichrist uh will want to destroy the Jewish people, and uh this is when they go into the last three and a half years of the tribulation period, and um it is what is Jesus called his great tribulation as never seen before uh in the world. And uh and he even makes the statement that if uh he did not return, that uh no flesh would be saved during that time. And what is going on is it is a time where now finally uh the enemy, the devil thinks, through the Antichrist and the false prophets and this uh this demonic uh uh kingdom of darkness uh will come against the Jews and think they finally got the Jews destroyed and that, but of course, then Jesus will come back with his body that he had already resurrected and uh from the earth, and he will uh come and stop the Antichrist and finally uh chain Satan and the thousand-year millennial reign will take place. Now, why does the rapture have to happen before this? The rapture happens before Babylon because the Antichrist can't be revealed. That tells us in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, the Antichrist cannot be revealed until he be taken out of the way. And who's he? I believe he's talking about the body of Christ. We are the body of Christ, the church is now, and as the body of Christ, we carry the authority of Christ, and because that we carry the miracle-working power of Christ and the supernatural power of Christ. And what is happening is that uh we have to be taken out of the way so that power and that authority is taken out of the way, so the Antichrist can do what he wants to do. All right. I hope this uh helps us to see how critical times we live in. If you're not right with God or you're backslidden, now is the time to get right. Uh confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ. Believe in your heart that God has risen him from the dead, and thou shalt be saved. Now is the time. If you are right with God and you are a Christian, let us make sure that everything is clear with us and God, because it can be any time now. With everything going on over in the Middle East, it ought to raise up our spiritual antennas that we know that the time is very close and we need to be about our Father's business. As as Paul said back in uh in the book in um in the New Testament, he said, the time is far spent and the night is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. It's time now to be right with God. Enjoy your journey, brother and sister.
