Our views align closely @TCC No one knows how everything is precisely going to play out in God's plan. But we definitely see the alignments and formation of a One World government and economy; a One World Religious system; and everything Jesus said would happen leading up to the Tribulation in Matthew 24: and elsewhere. 

Yes, there has to be an electronic system in place for one person to be capable of controlling all buying and selling; a cashless society. It cannot be Bitcoin or an unregulated cryptocurrency; because government cannot track it and tax it. Rest assured there will be no hiding of anything in the coming Beast system. 

And that leads to something else. An army of human people, or banks of computers, can never make instant decisions with global buying and selling. Enter stage left, artificial intelligence; I'll leave it at that.

Mystery Babylon: Now there's a can of worms to stir up any biblical debate :D I don't know if you're old enough to remember how many liver pills Carter had LoL. But there are two distinct mystery Babylon's, one spiritual and the other commercial. You mentioned America and commercial Babylon, so I'll just stick to that and my thoughts, and run a few things through. 

As I mention my thoughts, think about the "Ten Kings" in Revelation; who and what are they; why does the Antichrist need them? They could be ten heads of state, the heads of the ten economic trading zones the United Nations divided the globe into; that's all possible and makes sense. But whom do we see right now doing the voluntary dirty work setting this system up?

What if your free speech, critical thinking, thought, conversations of ideas [political, 2nd Amendment, religious thought, criticism of politics, controlled vote counting, etc.] was monitored, censored, restricted and terminated at a whim, and for no cause or explanation? Are you aware of exactly this happening in major news media; most social media; YouTube, etc. Read the new policy changes and service agreement on Amazon and many national banks [scary stuff]. 

In my area, grocery stores [Shop & Save, Aldie's, etc.], and many other small businesses are folding like crazy. Many smaller businesses are being gobbled up by international and global corporations. The number of individual owners of major media, global corporations, communications are dwindling and being bought and absorbed. 

There is no longer any enforcement of anti-trust laws and monopolies [IE. Ma Bell & AT&T, etc.]. I think it possible these Ten Kings, are the heads of monopolies that makes the world go around? Speculation true, but feasible and what I'm seeing transpire in real time. 

I think mystery commercial Babylon, is a sophisticated globally connected system of merchants and banking [international business]. 

It's getting worse by the year but; what happens when you do not agree or follow a changed "terms of service" policy from your financial institution? It's coming. Your thoughts?

Yes I understand how you are breaking down commercial Babylon. I agree the 10 kings will be governance over regions. From what I understand, they will emerge toward the middle of the tribulation. So, as a pretribber, I don't believe we will get to see that. But it would appear from bowl 7 that it is a location. So just saying it seems like it would be a powerful nation. And right now (at least for now...lol) that would be America (if we are very close to a tribulation timeframe now).

Daniel 7:24 (KJV) And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

Revelation 17:12 (KJV) And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 13. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

Where does it say or imply these 'ten kings' govern regions? On the contrary, they have no kingdom, yet. These "ten kings" are here, established and operating prior to the Tribulation, and before the Antichrist's revealing. To have a kingdom; one has to have a geographic area and subjects to reign and rule over. 

It appears the ten have great power over something the Beast needs, but it is not land or people, so what could the alternative be? They are given power and authority (kings) over something; that is not someone or somewhere geographic it appears. 

Three out of those ten, for some reason, decide not to play ball with the Beast.

If I were elected governor of a state; I could say I was a king over a geographic region with subjects. Perhaps I'm missing something? Where do we get the idea these ten kings are over a geographical region or area?

The way I understand it is that the Kings appoint themselves. We are not told the regions. But there are 10 toes on Daniels foot of statue. In some parts strong and in some parts weak. But it seems likely it is global because of Rev 13:7-9. 

HERE IS MY BREAKDOWN OF REVELATION 

It is highly likely that the 10 kings belong to the second half of the tribulation and not the first (thus they are mentioned toward the end of Revelation in chapter 17). Revelation chapter 13 looks to be the midpoint where AC demands worship. Some believe Rev 13 is the beginning of the triublation, but 13 is after 11. And chapter 11 has us up to the “end” of the trumpets. Chapter 14, 15, and 16 are regarding the second half bowl judgement period. Chapter 12 looks to be an overview from beginning to just past the midpoint. In any case chapters 17 & 18 focus on Mystery Babylon. And Mystery Babylon is destroyed by the very last bowl judgement 7. So there are three indicators that the 10 kings belong in the second half of the tribulation:

Rev 13 appears after 11 (which 6-9, and 11 seem to have a linear forward motion–with some flash forwards included). Chapter 10 is highly likely the 144k inauguration for the second half. Please note that chapter 10 comes after chapters 6-9 which go in chronological order of the 7 seals and the 7 trumpets (leaving off at trumpet 6). Chapter 11 picks up trumpet 7. And chapter 15 picks up the bowl judgement that come out of the 7th trumpet. This leaves chapters 10, and 14, as “intermediary” chapters. For example, chapter 10 focuses on the little book and new witnessing. Chapter 14 is a table of contents to the second half. Chapter 15 is the heavenly scene (where as chapter 14 shows the earthly flip side echo of that chapter 15 heavenly scene…like inaugural form heaven and earth).


PLEASE NOTICE HOW THE FLOW OF REVELATION LOOKS FROM A WIDE OVERVIEW
A. Chapter 1 – John gets vision
B. Chapter 2-3 Letters to the churches
C. Chapters 4-5 Scene in heaven as John enters via vision
D. Chapters 6-9 = seals & trumpets
E. Chapter 10 = the little book (likely an inaugural celebration of Israel 144k to now witness)
F. Chapter 11 = 2 Witnesses from beginning to mid point of trib
G. Chapter 12 = From beginning to just past midpoint of trib.
H. Chapter 13 = From midpoint to just past midpoint with AC focus
I. Chapter 14 = Table of contents to the bowl judgements (the 3.5 year second half of tribulation)
J. Chapter 15 = The opening ceremony of the final judgement cycle (bowls)
K. Chapter 16 = The bowl judgements roll out
L. Chapter 17 & 18 = Babylon the Great
M. Chapter 19 = Armageddon


Please notice how Babylon the great is mentioned in between chapters 16 and 19. Chapter 16 is the bowl judgements (including the total destruction of Babylon the Great). Yet we see Babylon the great in the following two chapters. And then, finally the last scene of the tribulation. So it looks like Babylon the Great is positioned and grouped as a second half phenomenon. And if so, likely too the 10 kings (who are just for the last hour primarily–or into the destruction of Mystery Babylon or Babylon the Great).

If we look at Daniel chapter 7 all the 10 horns are on “the final” ruling kingdom head. This implies it to be the 7th head of the dragon in Rev 13. And the 7th/8th head in Rev 17. These seem to all be the same implicated head. Which lean toward the “final head.” Or the last of the last. In Rev 13, AC is only given 3.5 years to rule (not seven). These would be the last 3.5 not the first.

Many people blend Revelation 13 as the beginning of the tribulation. But the book of Revelation is not layered out like that. Unless we perceive that all judgement sequences go off simultanously or like seal one, trumpet one, then bowl one…THEN seal two, trumpet two, and then bowl 2. but there are many problems with this view. for example Rev 13 says that the AC supernaturally comes back from the dead & demands worship then his image comes alive, talks, and demands the mark of the beast. That would mean all of that would have to happen under the first set. Because the first bowl is the blisters to the mark of the beast. That would likely all occur within the first 2 years while the two witnesses are running around. AC is given 42 months not twice that. It would make more sense that the supernatural 2 witnesses would not be competition with a supernatural AC. It would make sense that once the 2 witnesses ministry is over, the AC will kill them because in trumpet 5, that beast comes out of the abyss and empowers the AC supernaturally to do so. So AC does not have this supernatural power prior to trumpet 5.

 

Hope that helps somewhat of where I am coming from. Blessings.

I have heard before that the events in Revelation are not all in order from chapter to chapter. Such as chapter 9 when those with the mark are already being tormented for 5 months. I also believe that is a reference to what Christ said about the "days of Noah", when it rained on the earth for 150 days(5 months), even though he was still in the ark for about another 7 months. And this could be the same as what will occur during the last year of the tribulation? Or also could be a reference to Ezekial 39:12 where they are burying the bodies for 7 months, but just throwing that out there and still not yet sure about it?  

[Correction-it was not raining for 150 days but the waters only  "prevailed" on the earth during that time.]

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
