A29), The Fall of Babylon, the Worlds Economic System to be Destroyed by Ten Kings, (S. Dobbs, 2005).
This Word links to Words A23, A24 & A28.
Introduction: This word follows on from three previous words that I believe the Lord has given me, i.e. ‘The Beast’, ‘The Emergence of the Beast from the Sea in the World Today’, and ‘Babylon’. These words are also on this website – No’s A23, A24, and A28 respectively. It would be best if you could read these other words before this one. I have put a short summary of them here though for those who cannot obtain copies. In these previous words I believe the Lord has shown me that;
The Beast; symbolises both the antichrist and the empire he rules which will control the entire world in the very end times. [It’s important to note that the beast isn’t Babylon, they are two separate things. Revelation 17:3-7, describes Babylon as the prostitute and the beast as the seven headed, ten horned monster on which she sits.]
The Seven Heads of the Beast; (see Rev 13:1) I saw that this symbolises an alliance of seven nations that will govern this empire. The Lord showed me that they will all be western styled democracies, that they will be seven of the G8 group of industrialised nations. These are the USA, Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Russia and Canada. All but one of these will form a strong coalition and together will govern the world in the very end times.
The Ten Kings; will be the ten leading politicians who will govern these seven democratic nations and rule this beast empire. These ten leaders are symbolised as the ten horns on the beast in Rev 13:1. They will all submit to the antichrist leader at the very end of this age, (the antichrist may in fact emerge as one of the ten).
Babylon; the Lord showed me this symbolised both the historic institution of the Catholic Church as well as the worlds system of commerce and industry. It is the latter manifestation of Babylon that this word relates to i.e. the worlds system of commerce and industry.
That briefly summarises the previous words. The following scripture relates to this word.
Revelation Ch 17:12,13,16, “ The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast”, v 13 “These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast”, v 16 “And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot”, (Babylon), make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire.” (N.K.J.V)
This Prophecy:
In the following word the Holy Spirit revealed to me that ten democratically elected leaders*, from seven of the G8 group of industrialised nations, will decide to destroy the worlds system of commerce and industry, (i.e. Babylon). At first this does not appear to make sense since the strength & wealth of the nations they will rule depends on a healthy state of trade and industry around the world. Democratically elected western leaders would also seem to be the least likely to act in such a hostile and destructive way. This prophecy explains the circumstances that will lead to this situation coming about.
The Lord gave me this word as a series of revelations from the Holy Spirit, these came in quick succession. I did not work these out myself or deduce them logically; they came far too quickly for that to have been possible. I’ve explained these revelations as follows in the order in which I received them:
Firstly the Lord showed me that as environmental and climatic disasters increase there will be dramatic changes in politics in the western world. As worries increase about the future of the planet, more and more people will vote for the Green parties. Eventually the public in all of the seven key democratic nations will vote in Green politicians as their leaders. All ten leaders of the beast empire/ coalition will be green politicians. Countries like the USA, Britain and Germany etc will all then be governed by these leaders. (This could happen sooner than we’d expect if the climate changes rapidly.)
Secondly the Lord showed me that all ten of these leaders will have links with the New Age Movement and be influenced by witchcraft. The Holy Spirit brought back to my remembrance something I had seen on television news broadcast several years ago. It concerned a meeting the G8 group of industrialised nations had organised in Italy. A huge amount of security was needed to protect that meeting as tens of thousands of people gathered outside to protest about the way in which industrialisation was harming the global environment. In those days the G8 leaders did not appear overly concerned about the negative effects of industrialisation. Many of the protesters were very concerned however and were supporters of the Green movement. The Lord showed me that many of them had links with the New Age movement and had been infiltrated by witchcraft influences as a result. The Lord then showed me that in the future all of these ten leaders, these ten Green politicians, will likewise have links with New Age groups and will also be influenced by witchcraft, (this explains why this beast empire/coalition will follow anti-Christian agendas. See Rev 17:14).
Thirdly the Lord showed me that all ten of these leaders will also be influenced by a spirit of destruction. The Holy Spirit brought back to my remembrance pictures of all the violence that had taken place at that G8 meeting in Italy. The violence was so excessive that there was talk of future meetings having to be held on ships out at sea to ensure security. God showed me that along with witchcraft these Green/ New Age groups were also being infiltrated by a spirit of destruction. That this had been manifesting in the anger and violence of those protests. I saw that in the very end times all ten of these democratic, green, leaders of the western world will also be influenced by the same spirit of destruction.
Lastly the Spirit showed me that these ten Green politicians, who will lead the beast coalition, will all view the worlds system of industrialisation as the main cause of the world’s environmental and climatic problems. Unlike today’s leaders of these nations they will seek to end industrialisation rather than just curb it. This may seem dramatic to us now but the scale of environmental catastrophes will increase to such a point that it will prompt them to a radical response. I saw that because all of these ten leaders will have been infiltrated by the influences of witchcraft and destruction, they will use a destructive method of ending industrialisation. They will destroy Babylon; destroy the worlds system of industry and trade. This will result in the end of Babylon, (see Rev 18:21). This will be a great calamity for mankind.
[It is perhaps of interest to note that in Rev 9:11 the beast is named “Abaddon” in Hebrew, which means “destruction”, and “Apollyon” in Greek, which translates “the destroyer”. I think it unlikely that those who vote these green politicians into power will be aware of their true agendas or their destructive tendencies.]
The Lord did not reveal to me how these ten leaders will actually destroy Babylon, (the worlds system of commerce and industry). The scriptures imply the use of “fire” and of “the cities” falling, (see scriptures below below). Whether or not this is symbolic I do not know. What the Lord was showing me in this word was the process and events that will lead up to these ten, green, western democratic leaders destroying Babylon. I have ended by adding some scriptures here which relate to the fall of Babylon, the destruction of the worlds system of commerce and industry.
Revelation 18:2-3,…”Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen…” v3 “ For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” (N.K.J.V)
Revelation 18:8, “Therefore her plagues will come in one day – death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire.” (N.K.J.V)
Revelation 18:11 “And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore:” (N.K.J.V)
Revelation 18:17-18 “…Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance” v18 “and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning...” (N.K.J.V)
Revelation 16:19 “Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.” (N.K.J.V)
Revelation 17:16-18 “And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire”. v17 “For God has put it into their hearts to fulfil His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled”. v18 “And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.” (N.K.J.V)
Revelation 18:21 “…Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.” (N.K.J.V)
* The Lord did not give me the following but I believe its OK for me to comment on words I’ve received myself. It seems unusual for seven nations to be represented by ten leaders; one would expect only seven leaders, one from each nation. My guess is that the USA will demand representation in this coalition equal to its size and influence, (both economically and militarily), so that any voting that takes place will reflect this. If the USA were represented by four leaders and each of the other nations by just one, this would then total ten leaders. I am only guessing here though, I am not claiming to have received this section from the Holy Spirit.
