New Babylon Rising: The Emerging End Times World Order
What New Babylon Reveals to Us About the End Times
What will the world look like in the last days? One significant
clue the Bible offers is a fascinating look at New Babylon. More
than one-tenth of the book of Revelation is devoted to prophecies
about this city—the center of the antichrist’s world government.
But are we to understand these prophecies symbolically or
literally?
In New Babylon Rising, trusted prophecy expert Ron Rhodes
offers insight into what God’s Word tells us about the worldwide
influence of New Babylon in the end times. Take a look at what
prophetic Scripture says and
- discover the rampant paganism and evil that will mark this infamous city
- learn about the convergence and fulfillment of many ancient prophecies about the tribulation and second coming of Christ
- apprehend that God not only sees the future, but has determined how it will unfold
As you explore the Bible’s prophecies about the last days, you’ll discover that no matter how uncertain the future looks, you can have peace knowing that God is in full control of all things.
Top Highlights
“Babel was humanity’s first united attempt to short-circuit God’s purpose. This first post-Flood city was designed expressly to thwart God’s plan for humankind. The people wanted unity and power, and Babel was to be the seat of that power. Babylon, the city of man trying to rise to heaven, was built in direct opposition to God’s plan.” (source)
“The chief of the Babylonian gods was Anu, considered the king of heaven, while the patron god of Babylon was Marduk.” (source)
“— Apparently the United States Will Weaken as We Near the End Times.” (source)
“One of the key lessons here is the foolishness of human pride and arrogance. Peter said, ‘Dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for ‘God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble’ ’ (1 Peter 5:5). Pride is self-focused; humility is God-focused. Pride is self-exalting; humility is God-exalting. Pride distances one from God; humility draws one near to God.” (source)
“Once the tribulation period begins with the signing of the covenant, people can watch for the rise of religious New Babylon during the first half of the tribulation and the rise of commercial New Babylon during the second half.” (source)
