The fall of Babylon

After this...I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was made bright with his splendor. And he called out with a mighty voice,

"Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!
It has become a dwelling place of demons, a haunt of every foul spirit,
a haunt of every foul and hateful bird;
for all nations have drunk the wine of her impure passion,
and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her,
and all the merchants of the earth have grown rich with the wealth of her wantoness."

Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,

"Come out of her, my people,
lest you take part in her sins,
lest you share in her plagues;
for her sins are heaped high as the heaven,
and God has remembered her iniquities."

Revelation 18

Scripture gives us history and reveals the future. Babylon is a system. A financial system that will be destroyed in the last days. But Babylon will not go down without a fight. As we have seen throughout history, Babylon has tried to control the world and has really done a pretty good job of doing just that. But like all governments and systems who turn against God, Babylon will meet its demise. With the appointment of Ben Bernanke to continue as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, it seems more than obvious (to me) that we are very close to the fall of Babylon. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601083&sid=a7CC61ZsieV4

The world monetary system had to come to this. Those who are trying to rule the world think they are creating a system to control the people and keep their power. God will use this to bring about His purpose and we will see as Jesus returns who will fix what. Man's time of management must come to an end...I pray it is soon. Come Lord Jesus!
