NEWS BRIEF: "Doubts spark worst market performance since attacks", by By Patrice Hill
THE WASHINGTON TIMES, June 8, 2002.

"The stock market yesterday ended its worst week since the September 11 terrorist attacks, with major indexes touching close to the lowest levels of the recession. The frenetic sell-off Thursday that slashed 172 points off the Dow Jones Industrial Average continued yesterday morning, subtracting another 152 points before a wave of bargain-hunting set in. The Dow ended down 35 points at 9,590, its lowest level since Nov. 12, capping a 3.4 percent loss for the week ...

"The daily drumbeat of scandals and a third year of poor stock performance has lowered confidence and raised doubts not only among U.S. investors, but also among foreign investors who had eagerly snapped up American stocks even during the recession. Their loss of enthusiasm is confirmed by a 6 percent drop in the dollar as foreign buying dwindled this spring.
'A host of uncertainties continue to hang over the market, from conflict in the Middle East to terror alerts at home', said Ed Yardeni, chief investment strategist at Prudential Securities. 'Bad company news is hitting investors on a daily basis'."

NEWS BRIEF: "Plunge Protection Team at Work?", Certified Mint, Inc., June 5, 2002.

"Today, the gold market saw the price correction that many analysts, especially those with bearish biases, have been predicting since gold crossed $290. Actually, the drop started last night in the ACCESS, an electronic system operated by NYMEX where gold trades along with the Asian and the Australian markets. (ACCESS lets the New York houses keep a piece of the 24-hour gold market. NYMEX owns ACCESS, and also COMEX. ACCESS it closes 20 minutes before the outcry COMEX opens, where the exchange members make their really big money.)

"Anyway, shortly after ACCESS opened, some 700,000 to 800,000 ounces were dumped. The always politically correct World Gold Council suggested in its Daily Commentary that the selling was due to technical analysis. Some analysts immediately saw the work of the Plunge Protection Team (PPT), which they say has conspired to keep the Dow Industrials from collapsing and the price of gold from skyrocketing. Here’s one private analyst’s view:

"Richard Russell (Dow Theory Letters) has commented on the fact that every time the stock market gets poised for a major break, someone (PPT?) rushes in with a well orchestrated plan to counter the bearish move. Tuesday was a perfect example of this, because after the market action on the previous Thursday and Friday failed to turn the tide back up, the action on Monday looked very bad, forcing the PPT to a special effort on Tuesday ...

"Now, the question: is this the correction or is it the first day of a correction that will last for weeks, perhaps bringing gold back to the $300 level. Most assuredly, the bears will see this as the start of a major correction. Some will declare gold’s rally to be over. Like the recession that never was, to the bears this will be the rally that never way--if gold is driven significantly lower.

However, like the analyst noted above said, these are delaying tactics by an army that is losing. In the end, unalterable forces will push events to their inevitable conclusion. Paper money will not--cannot--triumph over gold ... "

NEWS BRIEF: "Intel Reduces 2nd-Qtr Sales Forecast; Shares Decline (Update5), By Cesca Antonelli, Bloomberg.com, June 6, 2002.

"Santa Clara, California, June 6 (Bloomberg) -- Intel Corp., the world's biggest semiconductor maker, lowered its second-quarter sales forecast on reduced personal-computer chip demand in Europe. The shares fell as much as 13 percent ... ``It was worse than people expected,'' said Marian Kessler, who helps manage $25 million at Rutherford Investment Management, which owns Intel shares. `We're seeing a longer downturn than expected and a slower recovery'.

There are no signs of a rebound in demand from corporate clients ..."

NEWS BRIEF: "Foreign investment in US plummets 60%: The steepest drop in a decade could make financing the recovery more difficult as domestic savings are traditionally low, " The Straits Times, June 6, 2002.

"WASHINGTON - Foreign investment in the United States suffered a precipitous 60-per cent drop last year, as the US market lost some of its lustre due to an economic recession and terrorist attacks, according to the latest government figures ... The figure marks the steepest drop in foreign investment in a decade and, according to some analysts, could make financing the fledgling US economic recovery more difficult because US domestic savings are traditionally low."

For the past 60 days, news reports of financial gloom and doom have been nearly as frequent as have stories reporting good economic news. Since our stock market has been declining during these past 60 days as well, Cutting Edge is being deluged with articles forecasting economic collapse. These articles point out, rightly so, that our current Dow Jones and NASDAQ levels are built on economic smoke and mirrors, and that this kind of financial deception cannot keep going on indefinitely. These articles also point out definitively that, when the collapse occurs, it could be more shattering than the 1929-1931 Great Depression.

Is an economic collapse in our future? If so, is it likely to come sooner rather than later?

Is it possible that this economic collapse could come in two stages like the 1929-1931 disaster, where a larger and more devastating collapse occurred in 1931 that really drove the world into depression status?

ILLUMINATI DEFINITELY HAS ECONOMIC COLLAPSE PLANNED

New World Order planners definitely have a global economic collapse planned that will aid mightily in bringing their Masonic Christ to the world scene. Let us examine one interesting quote from New Age Christian author, Bill Cooper:

"... it was discovered that an economy obeyed the same laws as electricity and that all of the mathematical theory and practical and computer know-how developed for the electronic field could be directly applied in the study of economics ... human life is measured in dollars ... the recipients become state property ... those who get hooked on the economic drug must go to the elite for a fix. In this, the method of introducing large amounts of stabilizing capacitance is by borrowing on the future 'credit' of the world. This ... consists of performing an action and leaving the system before the reflected reaction returns to the point of action -- a delayed reaction. The means of surviving the reaction is by changing the system before the reaction can begin ...and the electric spark generated when opening a switch connected to an active inductor is mathematically analogous to the initiation of war." [Behold A Pale Horse, p. 45-48]

Once the Illuminati understood that an economy acted to stimuli in the same manner as does an electronic circuit, they began to plan to first build up the economy and then tear it down in order to so panic the people that they will accept the "supernatural" intervention of The Christ. You see, before the accumulated debts of consumers and nations gets to the point of absolute collapse, World War III is scheduled to occur, analogous to "opening a switch connected to an active inductor". Through the smoke, dust, and destruction of this war, Antichrist is to come striding, presenting himself as the religious Messiah figure so many religions are expecting, and presenting himself as the economic messiah that will set matters right in the new, global economy. In this model, the initiation of war is likened to the opening of a switch to allow electric current to flow to an active inductor.

Even though the existing financial markets throughout the world will suffer collapse during World War III, the time period of the actual collapse will be short enough that, when Antichrist arises, confidence in him and in his program will be sufficiently strong, and the time of collapse sufficiently short, that he and the international bankers may be able to resurrect a global economy based upon a global currency.

The destruction of World War III will be limited to third world nations, largely bypassing the Industrial Nations, except for isolated terrorist incidents like the one depicted in the movie, "Sum of All Fears". Once Antichrist is on the scene, he will attempt to resurrect the economy of the Western nations, thus garnering the love and admiration of the millions of retirees and of investors throughout the industrialized world. They will absolutely love Antichrist for setting their retirement and investment portfolios back on their feet after such a devastating world war.

After the Masonic Christ [Antichrist] completes his first seven years' plan in dealing with Israel and the Middle East,[Peter Lemesurier, The Armageddon Script], he shall begin his global plan to "cleanse" the earth. It is during this "cleansing" that the terribly draconian New World Order plan to set aside huge tracts of land so that no human activity can occur will be instituted. It is during this "cleansing" that two-thirds of the world's population will be destroyed.

The Illuminati Plan foresees all of this.

However, the Bible is quite clear that Antichrist will only get seven years in his office as the occult messiah. The Bible is also quite clear that, once the 7 years begins at the signing of the Covenant between Antichrist and Israel's spiritual and political leaders, God will command the demonic host to lead world's leaders in such a manner that God's plan, not Satan's, will prevail [Rev 16:13]; it is during these seven years that two-thirds of the world's population is annihilated in the judgments of the Book of Revelation.

In other words, God will determine the sequence and the timing in which events occur, and which events He will allow to occur. Some Illuminist planned events will not be allowed to occur. Other events in prophecy that are not in the plans of the Illuminati will occur simply because God is sovereign. Many details in the Illuminist plan will occur earlier or later than the Illuminati planned.

With this in mind, let us return to our primary focus: the United States of America. When will our destruction occur, and by whose hand? Once you understand prophecy, you will better understand this critical question.

AMERICA IS THE 'ECONOMIC BABYLON' OF REVELATION 18!

If we are truly at the end of the Age as we believe we are, we know we are headed for massive judgment from God. Further, we know that the New World Order planned to reorganize the world into 10 Super-Nation states immediately after officially establishing the United Nations as the One-World Government. This act will be the literal fulfillment of the prophecy of 10-toes (Daniel 2:28-48) and the 10-kings prophecy (Daniel 7:1-28). This reorganization of the world's nations into only '10' did occur from December 31, 1992, and lasted until 1996. NAFTA is Nation #1 in this plan [Read NEWS1002 for full details].

God foretells in these prophecies that 3 of these 10 nations will immediately be destroyed after the world is reorganized. This destruction is so complete, it sounds like war, which is consistent with God's revelations concerning the events of the Great Tribulation.

According to the New World Order reorganization plan, America was declared part of the North American Super-Nation, along with Canada and Mexico [NAFTA]. Will America be one of these three super-nations which are destroyed? Today, we will show you, in detail, that America may be the Economic Babylon of Revelation 18. We believe this prophecy fits this country exactly, so precisely that it could refer to no other nation on the earth today.

Revelation 18 describes destruction by fire--God's fire--of "Babylon the Great", an evil system that has greatly stirred God's wrath.

First, we need to compare the "Babylon" of Chapter 17 and the Babylon of Chapter 18. These two Babylons are not the same for following reasons:

`And after these things...' (18:1). The events described here will not take place until after the events of Chapter 17 have been fulfilled.

The names in the two chapters are different. The `Babylon' in Chapter 17:5, is named `Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots.' We know this Babylon is religious by the words `Mystery' and `Mother of Harlots'. But, the term in Chapter 18:2 is merely `Babylon the Great'. The Babylon in Chapter 18 is a commercial Babylon.


Babylon, the harlot of Chapter 17, will be destroyed by the kings (rulers) of the earth. The Babylon of Chapter 18 will be destroyed by God's cataclysmic judgments.

When the Babylon of Chapter 17 is destroyed by the kings of the earth, they rejoice in her destruction. But, in Chapter 18, the kings and the merchants of the earth lament and weep for the destroyed Babylon. (18:15-19)

Finally, common sense tells us that, once something is destroyed, it is gone. For the Babylon of Chapter 17 and 18 to be the same, the system would have to be destroyed twice. This makes no sense whatever.


Now let us begin our study of Revelation 18, verse by verse.

THE HEAVENLY ANGEL WHO DELIVERS GOD'S JUDGMENT POSSESSES GREAT (SPECIAL) POWER OR AUTHORITY.(18:1) "And AFTER these things, I saw another angel come down from heaven, having GREAT power; and the earth was filled with his glory." God has evidently given a special power, to this angel--hence, the words "having great power".

THIS NATION BABYLON HAS BECOME INHABITED BY SATAN AND HIS DEMONS
(18:2) "And he cried mightily with a strong voice, `Babylon the great is fallen, and is become the (resort) of (demons), and the (dwelling place) of every foul spirit, and the cage of every unclean and hateful bird.'"

This Babylon has become thoroughly inhabited by Satan and his demons. Remember our earlier discussions of such disgusting, vile American sins, the very nature of which are filled with demons and their activity? These sins have become so pervasive that God is finally moved to physical judgment. [Read NEWS1253, Nationwide Demon Possession Possible]

This Nation Is THE CENTRAL NATION In The World.

(18:3) "For all nations have drunk of the wine and the wrath of her (passionate unchastity), and the (leaders) of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the (businessmen) of the earth (have become) rich through the abundance (excessive luxury) of her delicacies."

This is another powerful, overflowing statement. This city/country is THE CENTRAL nation in the world at this time. Consider the facts logically deduced from this verse:

1. Businessmen of other nations have become excessively, wantonly, filthy rich in their trade with Babylon.
2. Babylon must be THE richest nation on earth.
3. Babylon must possess an abundance of cash and must be so willing to spend it, that this process enriches the leaders and the businessmen of the world.
4. Babylon must be a consumer country without equal, repeatedly buying, using, discarding, and buying again.
Many Babylonian citizens must also buy merchandise which they do not need. automobiles, T.V. sets, VCR's, homes, furs, expensive clothing, toys, and yachts.
5. Consider LEADERSHIP. Babylon is clearly the world leader in two areas symbolically mentioned. (1) Wine--values, ideas, culture. (2) `Delicacies' are commercial. The world has long ago reached this point--with America.

The New Age editor of "USA Today" describes this trend:

"Global communications, universal trends, and common aspirations are making us more alike than we are different. We gradually are becoming one world.

More and more people are:

Eating the same foods.
Reading the same books.
Watching the same movies.
Listening to the same music.
Enjoying the same sports.
Sharing the same dreams and drives.
We share technology...
We share high-speed transportation..."
"Much of the common ground comes from the GLOBAL SPREAD of U.S. pop culture--which has become EVERYBODY'S culture. ...It's a WORLDWIDE network of shared experience." [Allen H. Neuharth, "Nearly One World", USA Today Books, Doubleday, NY, 1989, p. 11-13, 19].

"USA culture has become a WORLDWIDE culture..." ["The World's Billionaires," Forbes, Oct. 5, 1987, p. 82]

Carefully consider the Biblical definition of `idolatry': I John 5:21, "Little children, keep yourselves from idols--false gods," Literally means, from anything and everything that would occupy the place in your heart due to God, from any sort of SUBSTITUTE for Him that would take FIRST place in your life.

What is it that the USA has exported to all the nations of the world? We have exported our popular culture, with its values of supremacy of self, and of satisfying oneself completely, instantly. We have exported to the entire world our god of self. We have exported idolatry of materialism to the rest of the world, corrupting their people's mind and souls beyond belief!

GOD CALLS HIS CHRISTIANS OUT OF BABYLON BEFORE HE EXECUTES JUDGMENT.
(18:4)--"I heard another voice from heaven saying, `Come out of her, MY people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.'"

This message is clearly a warning to Jesus' people to stop their participation in the wickedness of this society, so they may escape the Godly wrath about to fall. Christians may have to quit their jobs, lower their lifestyle, or change their life goals. Many Christians today are winking at sin in their lives. They may be committing sin just by the nature of their jobs. For example, no Christian can work in a liquor store, or in an `Adult Only' bookstore. If the very nature of your job requires you to participate in sin, you must NOW COME OUT of that job, or face the certainty of incurring God's eternal judgment.

Also strongly implied in this passage is that conditions of life will appear to be very normal, until God's judgment suddenly falls in a single day. (Luke 17:28-30).

Herein lies God's PRINCIPLE of judgment: God will issue repeated warnings to repent before destruction. These warnings will be given to and through His. But, He has set a specific DAY for destruction. That day will dawn as any other--the sun will come up; the skies will look normal; people will be going to work or to school; traffic jams will be occurring; businesses and factories will be operating; trains, planes, and busses will be running; Wall Street will be busy.

This day upon which God's judgment will fall will look and feel like any normal day. There will be no special, visible warning.

And, destruction will be total.

BABYLON'S SINS HAVE PILED UP FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN. THE TIME HAS ARRIVED TO CALL THEM UP FOR REMEMBRANCE.
(18:5)--"For her crimes and transgressions--are piled up as high as heaven and God has remembered her wickedness and her crimes--and calls them up for settlement..."

This is a statement of staggering proportions. How high is it from earth to heaven? When these sins are stacked, they literally reach from earth to heaven, according to God's accounting.

God DOUBLES The Punishment Which This Nation Is To Receive.
(18:6)--"Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled, fill to her double."

Our destruction may be by both massive nuclear blasts and earthquakes. Dr. Einstein clearly proved that a small nuclear blast on the right place on an earthquake fault would produce earthquakes of such magnitude as to displace entire continents. The North American continent is covered with many such faults, from sea to shining sea. Thus, America could be doubly-destroyed, just as God foretold. Our destruction may be by both massive nuclear blasts and earthquakes. Or, to put it another way, the earthquakes may be produced by the nuclear explosions.

Further, I understood God's reasoning in doubling America's punishment. America has led the way in originating and thoroughly disseminating spiritual lies and the love of the world, to our children and the children of the world. These children then grow to adulthood to pass these un-Christian values to their children.

How many children's eternal souls have been lost through:

1. Humanistic, Godless public school teaching.
2. Alcoholism
3. Drugs
4. T.V.

5. VCR's and video movies.
6. Ouija board games; Dungeons/Dragons, Video Games that thrive on soul-numbing violence and occultism
7. Rock music, with all its horrific themes.
8. Country music, with its themes glorifying alcohol and those `cheating' songs.


America's leadership in these sins has been instrumental in leading untold millions, perhaps billions, of precious souls into eternal Hell. Is it any wonder that God singles her out for "double" punishment?

ECONOMIC BABYLON BOASTS PROUDLY IN HER HEART OF HER RICHES, BELIEVING SHE WILL CONTINUE FOREVER IN HER PROSPERITY.
(18:7)--"How much she has glorified herself, and lived (luxuriously), so much torment and sorrow give her; for she says in her heart, `I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.'"

Many of my friends believe that this good life will never end. Certainly, the very rich believe it with all their heart. Americans still lead the world in the wealth of her businessmen.

The number of billionaires per country.

USA 40+

Japan 24

West Germany 13

United Kingdom 7

Hong Kong 6

Canada 6

Saudi Arabia 5 ["Getting Rich In America," Money Magazine, July, 1986, p. 49-53.]

American businessmen still hold the predominate wealth in the world. What is the attitude on the part of Americans toward this wealth? They believe they need nothing else and that this good time will never end.

This passage also tells us that, at the time of God's destruction, this nation will be at her HEIGHT of power and monetary influence. Is America at her economic zenith now, or are we in serious decline?

"...The average American has NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD. By almost any measure of health and wealth...we are demonstrably better off now than in the...50's and 60's.

* Our incomes are up...
* We have more opportunities
* We can choose among more things to buy..
* The average American commands TWICE AS MUCH buying power today as in 1962, despite inflation and higher taxes..."
* Employment benefits are twice as large a share of total compensation as they were 35 years ago...
* Counting government subsidies, 1 in 10 Americans today is poor, versus 1 in 5 in 1960..."
* We can expect to live 5 years longer
* Infant mortality...fell by 50% during the 70-80's.

* Fewer adults die of heart disease or in accidents

* Medical costs have soared, but many more Americans can get care when they need it...because of Medicare, Medicaid...as well as a widening umbrella of private insurance plans...85% of Americans have some form of coverage, compared with 70% in 1962. Poor Americans have made the biggest gains."
* It takes the average family 23 weeks of income to buy that average car now, versus 26 weeks in 1960..."
* Homes are less affordable than in the 1960's...but more Americans own their own homes..
* The average apartment today is newer, more spacious, and more stuffed with amenities than in 1960."
* "The old in America work less and live longer, and at the same time, they are wealthier and more independent than ever before...today's elderly have piled up assets like no other generation of oldsters in history..." ["The Wealth Of Nations," Fortune, Sept. 14, 1987, p. 35.]

America is now at her zenith of economic power, even though we are currently struggling with recession and loss of jobs.

GOD'S JUDGMENTS FALL IN ONE DAY UTTERLY DESTROYING BABYLON.
(18:8)--"Therefore, shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for (mighty) is the Lord God who judges her."

At this point, carefully consider the statement of God in Jeremiah 50:25, "The LORD hath opened his armory, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord GOD of hosts." This passage could read, "The Lord has opened His armory, and has brought forth [the nations who unknowingly] are the weapons of His indignation and wrath..." Amazing!! God has used men and nations to accomplish His will in most instances when He delivers His wrath.

Historically, no nation has ever been utterly destroyed in one day. The single-day destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, who were destroyed by a small primitive nuclear weapon, was actually a destruction which occurred within a SINGLE HOUR. As we look ahead to verse 10, God further narrows Babylon's destruction to a single hour. The nature of nuclear destruction is complete, utter devastation, within seconds and minutes. This destruction occurs from blast, radiation, and (fire)--hotter than the sun's surface.

This is the first, and only, time in world history that an ENTIRE nation could literally be destroyed in a single hour--with massive nuclear weapons.

EARTH'S LEADERS BEMOAN BABYLON'S DESTRUCTION.
(18:9)--"And the rulers and leaders of the earth, who joined her in her immorality [idolatry] and luxuriated with her, will weep and beat their breasts and lament over her when they see the smoke of her conflagration."

This nation provided great leadership and she was the economic engine of the world. World leaders are weeping because this loss threatens their own luxurious wealth. Does America really buy from all other nations of the world to such a degree?

"...The Third World now relies upon the United States to buy 65% of its manufactured exports, compared with only 45% in 1979." [Ibid.]

The USA imports more than both Japan and West Germany combined. Remember Jesus' words, "...no one will buy their cargo anymore..."!

Country Exports - Imports

USA 322 Billion - 460 Billion

Japan 265 Billion - 187 Billion

W. Germany 323 Billion - 236 Billion

Remember, the key focus of this prophecy is on imports from other nations. This Economic Babylon undoubtedly has a very large Import imbalance, as she imports so much merchandise from the rest of the world. Of course, our newspapers have been filled over the past 20 years on our "Import Deficits", implying that we had better start producing more than we import or we shall surely suffer economic collapse.

Finally, look at the word `conflagration'--the inevitable white plumes formed by a nuclear explosion, and the immense fire that burns as hot as the surface of the Sun.

EARTH'S BUSINESSMEN BEMOAN BABYLON'S FATE. IMMENSITY AND COMPLEXITY OF BABYLON'S ECONOMY IS DESCRIBED.
(18:10-17a) -- "They (the rulers of the earth in verse 9) will stand a long way off, in terror of her torment, and they will cry, `Woe and alas! The great city! The mighty city, Babylon! In one single hour, how your doom (judgment) has overtaken you. And earth's businessmen weep and grieve over her, because no one buys their (cargo) any more."

God then describes the extent of the economy of this nation, and it is huge. We do not have the time to read this text in detail, but we encourage you to read it, in verses 12-14.

God's judgment pronouncement is severe:

"The ripe fruits and delicacies for which your soul longed have gone from you, and ALL your luxuries and dainties, ... are lost to you, never again to be recovered or experienced." `Because, in one [single] hour, all the vast wealth has been wiped out.'"

Now consider some pertinent points of this passage:

I. In verses 10 and 15, God says that the rulers and the businessmen are standing a "long way off" in their intense lamenting over the loss of this great nation. Look at a world globe. The North American continent is UNIQUELY SURROUNDED on all sides by immense bodies of water. The great majority of our commercial trade is done with two major parts of the world--Asia to the West, across the Pacific Ocean; and Europe, to the East, across the Atlantic.

II. Verse 11: this great nation was unique. She alone bought such a huge amount of the cargo from the other nations of the world. In the above statistics, you can see that the other industrialized nations export far more than they import. No nation could replace this Economic Babylon.

Only America is EXTREMELY DEPENDENT upon consumer purchasing for the health of her economy. Two-thirds of our total economic activity is generated by consumer spending.

Other statistics which show clearly that America is unique in the world's economy.

Compare the wealth of nations in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP). Assign the US an index score of 100...Listed below are the scores of the other nations." [Ibid.]

India-- PPP 17 Red China-- PPP 19 S. Korea--PPP 31

Taiwan-- PPP 36 Singapore-- PPP 46 USSR-- PPP 47

Italy-- PPP 54 Hong Kong--PPP 58 Britain-- PPP 66

E. Germany-- PPP 70 Japan-- PPP 77 France-- PPP 79

W. Germany--PPP 84

Remember, America's "PPP" was 100 in this study.

3. America's loss to the world's economy would be devastating. The world would lose THE MOST PRODUCTIVE agricultural exporting continent in the WORLD.

Turning back to Revelation 6:4: the second rider out of heaven was on a flaming red horse; this rider carried a huge sword, bringing great war upon the earth, so that men slaughtered one another. If we understood that this great slaughter was the utter destruction of Canada and the USA in Chapter 18, then we could easily see how Revelation 6:5-6 and 6:8 could be fulfilled literally and quickly. Revelation 6:5-6 describe famine and subsistence living for the world's people. This scenario would certainly happen quickly, once the world's most productive agricultural continent, and the world's most important economic engine, was removed. Instantly following the nuclear annihilation of North America, the stock markets and economies of Europe and Asia would collapse, plunging the global economy into the deepest economic depression ever.

The literal fulfillment to Revelation 6:8 would quickly follow--famine, plague, disease.

III. The economy of this great nation is described in 18:12-13, and 16, as vast, multifaceted economy. The key emphasis is on the volume of merchandise which this economy IMPORTS.

* Iron is specifically mentioned
* This economy also bought and sold luxurious products: perfumes, incense, ointments.
* An immense agricultural economy is also described:
Fine flour and wheat
Cattle, sheep, and horses.
* This economy also imports and exports `chariots' or `conveyances'. Our modern vehicles of `conveyances'--cars, trucks, planes, buses, tractors. Imports of this type of product into and out of the American economy is enormous. The marketing plans of entire foreign automobile manufactureres -- from Japan to Germany -- are tailored and built entirely on the tastes and demands of the American market. When America is destroyed, these nations may go out of business altogether.


SHIP CAPTAINS, NAVIGATORS, AND CREWS BEMOAN BABYLON'S FATE
(18:17b-19)--"...And all ship captains and pilots, navigators, and all who live by seafaring...stood a long way off, and exclaimed as they watched the smoke of her burning, `What city could be compared to the great city!' And, they threw dust on their heads, as they wept and grieved, exclaiming, `Woe and alas, for the great city, where all who had ships on the sea grew rich through her extravagance from her great wealth! In one single hour, she has been destroyed, and has become a desert.'"

Babylon was unique in that she imported/exported most of her trade via the sea. As we have already stated, only America is so uniquely situated geographically that she has to carry her imports so completely via the ocean.

In 18:9, 15, and 19: the leaders, businessmen, and ship-owners are able to see the smoke of this nation's burning. Not even huge pillars of white nuclear smoke, rising over America, could be seen with the naked eye 2,000-4,000 miles away. This viewing of the smoke from such great distances can only occur today, with TV transmissions from orbiting satellites.

* Consider the very end of verse 19: This destruction has made this nation `a desert'. One of the demonstrated effects of nuclear explosions, especially at the point of impact, is the formation of glass and sand.

BABYLON WILL BE DESTROYED BY GREAT VIOLENCE AS THOUGH A MIGHTY MILLSTONE WERE CAST INTO THE SEA.
(18:21)--"And a MIGHTY angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, `Thus, with such violence, shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be heard no more at all.'"

This destruction of this nation will evidently be of UNPARALLELED VIOLENCE, producing a destruction, the likes of which have NEVER been seen BEFORE in world history.

EVERYTHING COMPRISING A CIVILIZATION IS GONE FOREVER.
(18:22-23a)--"And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee..."

BABYLON'S GREAT BUSINESS LEADERS WILL BE DESTROYED FOR THE WAY IN WHICH THEY MISLEAD OTHERS.
(18:23b)--"...for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived."

The United States of America has led the world into this Satanic New World Order, both in terms of national political and economic leadership, but mostly in the leadership of values. People all over the world have yearned to be like America, as they have seen our wealth, success, and power. Such a position draws people to emulate, to allow themselves to be deceived.

Such is the case today.

GOD CASTS UPON THIS ECONOMIC BABYLON ALL THE SINS THAT HAD GONE ON BEFORE

(18:24) -- "And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."

While most people gasp at this sentence, believing a Just God could not visit the punishment of all the martyrdom of the prophets and saints and all the murders in past history, they just do not know their Bibles. Consider these verses in which God has done this type of thing before.

* "As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all her land." [Jeremiah 51:49]

* "... the blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the world may be charged against and required of thsi age and generation. From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was slain between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against and required of this age and generation." [Luke 11:50-51; Jesus speaking to the Pharisees and Teachers of the Law; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplifed Bible Commentary]

Here is the Biblical principle on which this type of judgment is heaped: God is very gracious and merciful, waiting a great long time before judgment so that a person or a nation or an organization may have time to repent. However, the time does come when the sin of a person, organization, or nation reaches such a high degree that God's judgment is inevitable. Finally, if that level of sin reaches the height mentioned in this chapter -- 'sins piled high to heaven' -- God gathers all the judgments He has ever cast upon a person, organization, or nation in the past for the martyrdom of His saints and adds them to the judgments of which the particular person, organization, or nation is richly deserving.

In the case of Economic Babylon -- America -- holding her responsible for the martydom deaths of all the saints since the beginning of time is also deserving medicine. As we prove in Seminar 2, America Determines The Flow Of History, our Founding Fathers listened to their occult "Guiding Spirits" and founded this country as the "New Atlantis" that would guide the rest of the world into the New World Order -- the Kingdom of Antichrist.

Therefore, when the prophesied martyrdom of the saints of God in the Tribulation Period occur, all the leaders of America's past will have to assume the collective judgment for this martrydom. Therefore, God only adds in degree to the judgment of America's current leadership when He dumps upon them all the judgment for all the saints since the beginning of time.

PROBABLE TIMING

Since the Illuminati quietly established the 10 Super Nations of the world from December 31, 1992 through the end of 1996 -- with NAFTA being Nation #1 [NEWS1002] -- we know the world now stands between Steps 1 and 2 of Daniel's vision. In other words, we stand between the creation of the 10 Super Nations and the appearance of Antichrist! God did not specify how many years interval would occur between Steps 1 and 2.

However, our emphasis in this article is on Step 3. After Antichrist arises, three of the original 10 Super Nations are totally destroyed, "plucked up by the roots" and totally killed. This Economic Babylon is probably one of these three, and the Russian Super State {Nation #5 in the New World Order Reorganization Plan] receives her judgment at the hands of God as she attacks Israel with her consortium of armies in fulfillment of Ezekiel 38-39.

God does not identify the third Super Nation to be destroyed.

We believe it highly likely that NAFTA should be destroyed between the time Antichrist arises and the time he signs the covenant with Israel in fulfillment of Daniel 9:27. Remember, the signing of the covenant is the trigger for the 7-Year Tribulation Period to begin; most Christians believe the mere appearance of Antichrist triggers the beginning of the Tribulation Period, but such a view is not Biblical.

The point is this: when this Economic Babylon is annihilated by the hand of God in the terrible judgment of fire that destroys in one hour of one day, she is at her economic peak. She is still the nation buying so many imports that she makes the businessmen of the foreign nations filthy rich. She is still importing her "conveyances" from over the oceans. Conditions are so normal that the foreign businessmen and the ocean captains moan her passing, and at least try to think of a nation that could replace her!

Therefore, remember this prophetic fact: this Economic Babylon will remain financially prosperous until the time she is destroyed immediately after Antichrist arises, the current gloom and doom notwithstanding.

At this point, people complain that such an early destruction could not be possible, for Revelation 18 is placed late in the Book of Revelation; therefore, they reason that America's destruction must occur late in the 7-Year Tribulation. However, Jesus wrote Revelation in the old Judaic prophetic manner called "Parallel Structure"; this means that the events of one chapter do not necessarily follow those of the previous chapter, but may parallel events of a much earlier chapter. God created this system in order that man might not know the exact timing of all the events, but must rely upon faith in Him as prophesied events unfold.

However, we know conclusively that all the judgments of the Book of Revelation conclude by Chapter 16, for Jesus tells us. Listen:

"Then the seventh angel emptied out his bowl into the air, and a mighty voice came out of the sanctuary of heaven from the throne of God, saying 'It is done! It is all over, it is all accomplished, it has come!' " [Revelation 16:17; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary].

If all the judgments are concluded in Chapter 16, and the timeline begins again at the "After this" of Chapter 19, then Chapters 17 and 18 are parenthetical chapters whose events can occur at any point along the prophetic timeline regarding Antichrist. The events of Chapters 17 and 18 could occur anytime between the point of his arising and the conclusion of the Seventh Bowl Judgment!

I believe it highly likely that America, the Economic Babylon of Revelation 18, is one of the three original nations of Daniel 7:7-8 that is totally destroyed after Antichrist arises. Some contemporary Bible scholars have postulated that Russia could not invade Israel with the impunity implied in Ezekiel 38-39 unless she first destroys America, a view with which we conclude.

Therefore, America is likely to be destroyed after the World War III designed to produce Antichrist, but before he "confirms" the covenant with Israel.

Doc Marquis, former Satanist, told me very firmly that the Illuminati had concluded that Americans needed to be prosperous right up to the time of the events designed to produce Antichrist. We love our Materialism so very much that we could never accept the incremental steps necessary to produce Antichrist unless we continued to be prosperous, up to the very time he arose on the world scene.

Doc further stated that the Illuminati would use most powerful witchcraft, if necessary, to keep America prosperous until the time the final events to produce Antichrist commence. Therefore, we can only conclude that powerful Illuminist witchcraft is being utilized to keep our economies afloat until such time as Antichrist can arise. Certainly, this explains the inexplicable, for the Western economies have been showing all signs of collapse since mid-1996!

Americans need not worry about economic collapse; we need to fear God Almighty, as He stretches out His Hand of Judgment against this wicked nation, whose sins have "reached as high as Heaven". Too many Americans -- too many Christians -- have been lied to regarding God's Nature; we have been taught that God is only Love, so much so that He could never actually send anyone to Hell. However, the Bible paints a far different picture; the Bible tells us that God's Nature is multi-faceted, each component of which is as Perfect and Complete as the other. God's Judgment is as Perfect and Complete as is His Love [Read CE1005, "The Perfections of God"].

When God moves in Judgment, He is always acting as a loving surgeon, cutting out the cancerous tumor in order that the sick patient will live. You see, God views sin as a cancer that will ultimately kill His creation. Thus, He will act in prophetic Judgment in order to save the life of the world He has created. One of the major purposes of the Tribulation Period is to kill all sinners in order to purify the world for the Milennial Reign of Jesus Christ. Listen:

"Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it." [Isaiah 13:9]

Or, listen to the Amplified Bible Commentary:

"Behold the day of the Lord is coming! -- fierce, with wrath and raging anger -- to make the land and the whole earth a desolation and to destroy out of it its sinners."

God then reveals just how much death and destruction He will wield during this period known as the "Day of the Lord".

"And I, the Lord, will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their guilt and iniquity ... I will make a man more rare than fine gold and mankind scarcer than the pure gold of Ophir." [Isaiah 13:11-12]

But, first, Antichrist must arise to take the sinfulness of sin to the highest level ever recorded. As you look at our society today, can you see our sins piling like corkwood, up to the very portals of Heaven, setting us up for Judgment?

The time is ticking, bringing the time of Antichrist's appearance closer.

Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually.

If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.
