Dreading Armageddon and the Babylon the Great? In the 1970s, we were told the world was heading for a cataclysmic war but believers in Jesus were not to worry because we would be whisked away before it began. A charismatic world leader would then emerge and broker a peace-treaty between Israel and the Arab nations which would disintegrate into World War III and two-thirds of the Jews would be massacred. However, the very name Har-Magedon, a prophetic name for Jerusalem used by John and inspired by Zechariah, reveals this battle will be an overwhelming victory for Israel and the Jews, preceded by a revival in which 90% will become 'Jews for Jesus'. As for Babylon the Great, in the 16th century, Luther, Calvin, and the Reformers believed it was the Roman Catholic Church, the all-powerful European institution in their day. In the 20th century, however, the Second Vatican Council reformed Catholicism; in 2008, Benedict XVI pronounced that Luther's teaching of 'justification by faith' was right all along. This book shows that Babylon the Great is much older than Catholicism - almost as old as Creation - and much larger and more pervasive than we may have suspected.
