Reply #25: The invasion of Iraq has made Bush the king of BABYLON

[Joanne98]

The head with a mortal wound that was healed is the Roman Empire/Nero, which seemed to have been dead for the last 1500 years, but now has been resurrected in the American Empire/Bush. All the other world-class empires were more or less continuous – whenever one was defeated the next sprang to life on its heels. In that sense, at least from the perspective of the Biblical world, there was one continuous world empire that never really seemed to die until Rome was defeated by the Christian church. This is the 'Whore Babylon' of prophecy - a premier line of world-class empires that began with Babylon and continues on with six other world class empires - the "seven mountains on which a woman sits" (Rev 17 ). A woman who keeps putting on different makeup - but it's always the same old whore. These empires not only dominate the world militarily, but economically and culturally as well. The “blasphemous name” written across the seven heads of the beast (and it says ‘name’, not ‘names’) are the seven letters B-A-B-Y-L-O-N. It says of these seven heads, that as of the time of the writing of Revelation (95 AD), that (Rev 17:10) “five have fallen (Babylon, Egypt, Assyria, Persia, Greece), one is (Rome), the other has yet to come (USA), but when it does, he (George Bush – the Antichrist) must remain for a little while.” When the American World Empire moved into Afghanistan and Iraq in order to completely dominate and remake the middle east by force, it was a clear signal that the last World Empire, the Antichrist and the final days had arrived.
