Therefore we have Babylon America and Babylon Israel in the Middle East.
In the book of Revelation both countries are one but with great similarities. Also in the book of Revelation, there are prophecies about the falling of Babylon which applies to both countries although each located far apart.
These Babylonian kingdom dominated by Israel and America will metamorphose into God's Kingdom that will rule the world in the end-time and will become the "GOLDEN EMPIRE" like Babylon of old.
However, the Capital City of God's Kingdom Babylon is Cape Town originally known as "CAPE OF GOOD HOPE" in South Africa. Therefore, in the book of Revelation, the name "ISRAEL" is no longer mentioned but "BABYLON" more prominently being the parent name from whose land Abraham immigrated. The name "Israel" is a covenant name for the people of Israel and for that country in particular not for the whole world. If it goes by the name "Israel" then it means God's kingdom is for the people of Israel alone and not the entire world.
Therefore an independent name will be used and not Israel.
God called Abraham out of Iraq to occupy the land of Canaan and that through his descendants which include Ishmael and Isaac all the nations of the world will bless themselves, through the acknowledgement of the God of Abraham. At first, the people of Iraq worship gods made of woods and stones.
According to traditional history, Abraham's father was one of them. But today the story has changed in the Arab world. Now you can find Islam, Christianity, Judaism and others of the Abraham faith which include followers of John the Baptist, Elijah and others of the same faith. So there is no more paganism unlike in the days Abraham was called.
The people of Israel became an instrument of change from idol worship to the God of Abraham when they arrived in Babylon as captives being the original land of Abraham the Childean whose capital city was called "Babylon". Consequently, the Babylonians were the first on earth to acknowledge the God of Abraham and the first to preach the message of salvation to the people of all races, tribes and tongues of the whole world in as much as Babylon ruled the world.
The great heroes God used were the Israeli Ambassadors who ruled with authority in the kingdom of Babylon. They were Daniel and his three friends. They effected the change as great heroes. On Prophet Daniel's account, he was the man who reminded and interpreted the King's dream of the four world kingdoms. Therefore, the king of Babylon was a great king and Prophet who foresaw the kingdoms of the world to rule to whom the astrological prophet Daniel his student interpreted which no one in Babylon could do. Therefore, the king was converted right in his dream and was sanctified to foresee the end of the world event and was no longer considered to be a pagan until his dead.
He commanded the whole world to worship the God of Daniel known as the God of Abraham. Thus he was the first King to preach the message of salvation to all the nations of the world when satellites television and radio was not invented although Daniel said "knowledge shall increase' that will be very possible including the internet. Read my article, "THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST THAT SPEAKS "available in search engines.
Daniel and his three friends became the Princes of Babylon and ruled with authority. Therefore God's kingdom ruled over Babylon through Daniel and his three friends. Daniel's Friends were cast into the furnace of fire who said even if our God failed us we will not worship your God. They held onto their faith and came out of the fire unhurt. This time again the message of the kingdom of God was proclaimed all over Babylon that all nations, tribes tongues and kings should serve the God of Daniel's friends.
Again, Daniel was cast into the lion's den and God delivered him by shutting the mouths of the lions and again that called for another proclamation of the good news to all the nations of the world to worship the God of Daniel who had shut the lions mouths.
There was writing on the wall "MENE, MENE, TEKEL UPHARSI" No body could interpret it but Daniel did it. "Proclaim it to all the nations of the world to worship the God of Daniel who interpreted it". Said the King
The king of Babylon was cast into the field because he was very boastful. He remained in the field eating grasses and transformed to an animal walking with four legs and he was there for seven good years. At the end of the seven years he came back to his senses and returned to his throne which was not occupied by another king. That is a great miracle and called for proclamation of the gospel of salvation to all the nations of the world.
You can now see that Abraham's country men preached the gospel of salvation several times to all the nations of the world before we come on board with our satellite television, radio and internet?. You can see that they were the forerunners of God's kingdom because God did not choose Abraham alone but his own country Iraq as well.
Therefore God still remember Babylon because of the seed they have sown and the name is again reflected in the book of Revelation to continue the Golden Empire as it was in the days of old. Read the book of Prophet Daniel for more detail.
T
herefore, the prophecy of Daniel is all about the kingdom of Babylon that will rule the world in the last days because based on the interpretation of the king's dream, the King of Babylon was the head of the gold and since gold cannot fade, another Golden Empire would emerge who shall rule the whole world in the last days from the very root of Abraham his descendants which include Judaism, Christianity, Islam and others of the Abraham faith. To whom God said "...by your descendants shall all the nations bless themselves....
According to the book of Genesis.
The king of Babylon was cast into the field and remained for seven years and returned to his throne without a successor. Based on the interpretation of the king's dream, the huge tree was cut down but the root remained with a golden band. Therefore, the root of Babylon was the word of God being the message of salvation her kings had preached to all nations of the world in the ancient world.
As the king of Babylon retuned to his throne likewise the kingdom of Babylon will return to the earth in the last days.
The ancient kingdom of Babylon did not end with the dead of Daniel but was told to rest and to get his own share in God's Kingdom which is the end-time Babylonian kingdom. Daniel wanted to know all about the end-time kingdom of Babylon but he was asked to seal up the book of the prophecy until the end of the ages.
Therefore the last days events about prophet Daniel's prophecy was passed on to Apostle John who wrote about them again in the book of Revelation with the key name "BABYLON" to be re-interpreted by the end-time biblical prophet Elijah to whom the open scroll shall be given to teach those events which will be conveyed to the whole world by satellites as knowledge increased.
Therefore, the book of Revelation contains the most essential elements of the ancient kingdom of Babylon such as the image of the beast, the preaching of the everlasting gospel to every people, nations, tongues and kings, persecution of the saints, taken under captivities, punishing the believers by fire etc and finally fall of Babylon and plagues. These points will be revealed in more details in next articles to include Israel and America the end-time Babylonians.
