Isn't Iraq practically run by Iran?
The Rising of Babylon

Yes, for the USA put in a Shi-ite leader (Iran`s majority) over a Sunni population. Not a good mix. However, when God deals with Iran, (Persia) with the Russian Federation soon, then most of Islam will be Sunni and ready for their great leader to arise.
Literal.
Yes.
That is called by Muslims as the........"Mahdi".
It should be noted that The Quran does not mention him and his expected arrival comes from Isalm "traditions".
We might think of him as the Anti-Christ or type there of.
That is true. That means then that John was referring to a Literal place.
Biblically speaking then, I think we need to grasp that Babylon can be a city or a nation. Though it is at times referred to as a woman, we know for sure that it is not the church.
Prophetically speaking, especially in the New Test. it symbolizes a worldly system that opposses God and His plan. We must be careful to discern from the "Context" in which Babylon is seen so the we can grasp which interpretation is intended.
My experience in this over the years has show that Babylon siginifies a Nation. Even when it suggests a city, we have to remember that God often uses the name of a city to represent the entire nation.
Prophecy tells us that a world-wide earthquake is coming that will hit every locale, causing even the islands to sink down beneath the oceans.

It's both spiritual and literal. For the earth to bemoan the fall of Babylon, that is the physical, which is yet to happen. Babylon was never destroyed in the past. It only fell into ruins due to abandonment from the economic collapse after that empire came to an end.

Missler's explanation seems plausible as to why that city is being rebuilt, and will eventually be destroyed for the first time in all its history, which is yet future to us now, and at what point that prophecy will be fulfilled.

Hello Musicmaster;
I respect your support for Missler, thus your reason for posting his video. I also respect your understanding as Babylon never destroyed.
I'm happy The Rising of Babylon has stimulated interest and discussion in this topic.
God bless you, brother, and your entire family.
Thanks, Bob. Just so you know, I'm not a fan of any one teacher out there. Those who have a deep, abiding love for the word of God have my support for those things that find support within the texts of scripture, but I also disagree with all of them on some points at various places throughout. I don't think any of us here agree with all the others here on every point, so it's not remarkable that we all have various disagreements with others outside this circle.
For example, I disagree with Major that he just won the Mister Universe Pageant...
(snicker, snicker)
Is that what they call "Hit-n-run?"

When the Pageant found out Major was an "old country boy," they disqualified him. Country boys don't get out much. lol!
Yes. I am of the same mind as you on that. It's yet future, not a historic even to us now.
MM
Given that Revelation tells us that ALL sea life will be wiped out, I wonder if all that life will be restored going into the Millennium... I get the impression that such a massive earthquake will be the result of the continents being pushed back together into what was called Pangea before the flood, which is the point at which the continents began to drift apart to the places where they are now.
So, anyway, Babylon will likely be wiped out by a nuke of whatever size it would take to make the area desolate, and never rebuilt again by any stretch of the imagination.

WHAT?????????
You don't belive that I won it????
Here is the proof!
Ok, but only after you show that to your wife, and SHE acknowledges that the photo is indeed YOU!
MM
Yes, that did occur to me as well. Good point.
But, hey, it's still a legitimate prophecy, given that it speaks to the rebuilding in order for it to have been destroyed to the point of never being inhabited again.

There are actually two manifestations of Babylon, one religious and one commercial or material.
Both are under the rule of Antichrist, and have ruling queens; both are filled with blasphemy; both hate the saints, and shed their blood; both are associates with kings in fornication; and both are under judgment and destroyed.
Mystery Babylon of Rev, 17 has a Symbol: Harlot woman.
It is Identified with Rome (inland).
It has a Woman, whore, mother.
It is Guilty of religious abominations.
It is Destroyed by a political power that previous supported her.
Commercial Babylon of Rev. 18 has a Symbol: Great city.
It is Identified with a port city (coastal).
It has Habitation, great city, marketplace.
It is Guilty of greed and self-indulgence.
It is Destroyed by sudden act of God.
