THE PROPHECY UNDERGOING FULFILMENT TODAY:
"Then I heard another voice from heaven that said: 'Come out of her, My people, lest you take part in her sins and share in her plagues. For her sins are piled high as heaven, and God has not forgotten her crimes. Pay her back in her own coin, repay her twice over for her deeds! Double for her the strength of the potion she mixed! Mete out grief and torment to match her voluptuous pomp! She says in her heart, "I am a queen on my throne! No mourning for me, no widow's weeds!" Because of this her plagues shall strike her in a single day-- pestilence, bereavement, famine, and burning-- for mighty is the Lord God who has pronounced her doom!'" (Rev 18:4-8 NEB).

All those people, of whatever nationality they may be, still living in Babylon/Iraq today are "taking part in her sins and share in her plagues".

Every day now Iraqis are killing Iraqis. The reason for this is that "God has not forgotten her [their] crimes", and has ordered His angels to "Pay her [them] back in her own coin, repay her twice over for her [their] deeds". God has chosen to punish her sinful deeds throughout her past generations since the time of Nimrod, until now.

Military forces from other nations sent to influence the people of Babylon/Iraq to accept another kind of satanic government from the West, that is, their kind of demoncracy instead of dictatorship, are also being punished, and are all destined to be a resurrected abhorrence. (Daniel 12:1,2 NEB).

It should be understood that the influence of "Babylon" has reached many people of many nations, and throughout many generations. It is administered from within false religions, governments, and commerce.

Some may ask: 'How long will literal Babylon/Iraq be desolated?' The answer is as the prophecy states: "Then once more they shouted: "Alleluia! The smoke goes up from her forever and ever!" (Rev 19:3). This means that the country will always be at war, until she ceases to be inhabited -- "never to be seen again"; for the reason that Babylon "has become a dwelling for demons". (Rev 18:2,21 NEB).

The all-important and long-awaited everlasting Rule of God and wedding of the "bride class" will follow the current desolation of Babylon/Iraq. (Rev 19:6-8).

Political leaders of nations and false religionists are "veiled", so will always be spiritually deaf. Has your "veil" now been removed? (2 Corinthians 4:3,4).
