	What the Bible does point out, is that the people of God will be influenced by '''[[911:New_Age_agenda#Origins\|doctrines of demons]]''' (1 Tim. 4:1). They will not really love the Truth of God; they will gather to themselves teachers who will tell them what they want to hear (2 Tim 4:3–4). The acceptance of popular ideas and views will prevail.

Many Christian churches will compromise in order to be accepted. A major form of Babylonianism is '''[[911:Black Magic\|occultism]]'''. Informed people are alarmed at the increase of this religious orientation. In addition, the peoples of the West are being inundated with '''[[911:New_Age_agenda#Spiritual_practice\|oriental concepts]]''' that have their origin in ancient Babylon. The goal of Satan and the man of sin will be to destroy the Truth of God (Dan. 8:12). A “king of fierce countenance” will arise and will destroy the holy people. The sanctuary will be polluted (Dan. 11:31). What is the parallel between these texts and Revelation 17:3, 6 and 13:17–18? The beast, that is, a government, will be ridden by the apostate woman (a false religious and philosophical system) called “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH (Rev. 17:5). What does this woman do? “And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great [horror]” (Rev.17:6).

	The Bible tells us that in “the last days” the pervading influence of a mysterious system known as Babylon will profoundly affect the entire world. Why should we be concerned? How does it affect us? Notice what we read about Babylon in the book of Revelation: “For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her. . . “ (Rev. 18:3). In brief, all nations of the earth have been made spiritually drunk by this entity called Babylon. The nations are unable to grasp or understand the plan and purpose of God. They do not know how to achieve happiness, or how to bring about true fulfillment in the lives of their peoples. The world today finds itself in a quagmire of seemingly insolvable problems—problems involving war and peace, crime and violence, '''[[911:Taxation\|disparity between the rich and poor]], a [[911:Environmental terrorism\|damaged and dangerous environment]], [[911:Population_stress#Famines\|famine]], [[911:Debt\|poverty]], [[911:Population_stress#Disease_pandemics\|disease epidemics]], [[911:~~The_Matrix#~~Geophysical_warfare\|catastrophic weather conditions]], [[911:Population_stress#Homosexual_agenda\|immorality]], the [[911:The_Matrix#Social_Engineering\|breakdown of the home and family]]''', and the decline of established religions.

In the Bible a beast is a symbol of a kingdom or government (Dan. 7:3, 17). This entity, Babylon, controls the politics of the world. Babylon is the “. . . MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” (Rev. 17:5). In the Bible a harlot is a symbol of a false religious or philosophical system. So, Babylon is also represented as a religious system. Babylon is also described as a great city. “And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth” (Rev. 17:18). Cities represent financial power, so Babylon represents economic power. Governments depend on loans from great financial institutions. These institutions control these governments by means of debt capitalism. In order to survive economically, kings and rulers have entered into illicit relationships with Babylon. Material benefits are derived from such unions (Rev. 18:3). By her sorceries all nations have been deceived (Rev. 18:23). The word sorceries in the original Greek is pharmakeia, which refers to the mixing and using of drugs.

	It will soon be Babylon’s turn to suffer God’s wrath. We have mentioned the “Day of the Lord.” This time period is not referring to Sunday as a day of worship. In the Bible, it describes the period when God will take a direct hand in the affairs of this world. It will not be a pleasant time for mankind. For the first time in thousands of years, men will come to truly fear God as they should. God will manifest His power as never seen before. By referring to a Concordance, the interested reader can acquaint himself with the passages that refer to the “Day of the Lord.” As the historical type, Babylon received God’s judgment. God will do the same to modern Babylon. Revelation 18 describes the punishment and destruction upon modern Babylon in detail. Compare this chapter with Isaiah 13 and 47. The shock waves felt internationally by the destruction of Babylon are described in Revelation 18:9–11, 15–19.		It will soon be Babylon’s turn to suffer God’s wrath.

	Modern Babylon is Satan’s attempt to bring about a one-world government. This undertaking was thwarted at the Tower of Babel. At the time of the end God will allow a one-world government to continue for a period of three and one-half years (Rev. 13:5). The kingdoms of this present world belong to Satan (Matt. 12:25–26). At the start of His public ministry, Christ was offered these kingdoms. All He had to do was to fall down on His knees and worship Satan (Matt. 4:8–9). He refused. Christ came to prepare a kingdom that will replace Satan’s. That kingdom is the Kingdom of God. Those called of God today are called out of the kingdom of Satan to the Kingdom of God (Acts 26:18). Satan’s kingdom will not last. God’s Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom. It will be established on the earth at Christ’s return.

	Uppermost in the minds of many is the ~~“man~~ of sin,” described in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. What is not realized, as this verse shows, is that the revealing of the man of sin is first preceded by an apostasy. The words “falling away” in this verse are translated from the Greek word apostasia, which means a departure from truth. Satan is the author of all Babylonian concepts. Of necessity, the man of sin will employ these same concepts. This apostasy is to occur in the last days (2 Thess. 2:1–3).
