The Rise Of The Antichrist — Keith Malcomson

The Four Horsemen and the Rise of Antichrist

Praise God, I want you to turn with me to revelation chapter 6 one last message here tonight as we finish This very very important series on the four horsemen of the apocalypse. You know, it's so timely because there's so many false ideas about the white horse.

And that's one of the great reasons I wanted to teach on this. We're not going further on the seals. We're not going further in revelation at some other point. I'm going to come back and teach a full series on the whole book of Revelation.

You need to pray that I teach that at the right time. I know many you'll think what keep going brother Keith. But I just feel I wanted to come in and do these four seals and then stop. Because I believe we need to be so careful what we believe in this hour with an economic crisis.

With all of this control and manipulation coming in with this unity of world governments. Many are saying is this not the seals already? You know even Candace has said to me over the past several weeks.

She would turn to me in the kitchen and say are you sure those horses haven't already? Rode forth because we are literally going through a dress rehearsal. That's what we're looking at. I believe God and his grace has allowed all this to happen that we're coming to the point that without chaps You won't even be able to buy and sell.

God is allowing us graciously to see that this book is Absolutely true that everything is going to happen and it's a warning if ever the church needs to wake up. It's right at this time because you know what once these events Literally start with that white horse.

It's going to move so fast our world won't even believe what's happening in around it and so tonight I Want to finish with this seventh and final message and I called this the rise of Antichrist. Reading from Revelation chapter 6 verse 1.

I only want to read one verse here. As we go to this message Revelation chapter 6 verse 1 and I that is John saw when the Lamb Opened one of the seals and I heard as it were the noise of thunder one of the four beasts saying come and see.

What an opening having the Lamb of God open one of the seals. The first seal the seal that releases the white horse with the crown and the bow it Is the Lamb? Opening up the seals and as we dealt with last week.

It is the Lamb of God. Beginning to open those seals that marks the redemption of the earth. Last week's message is so so vital as we go into this last one. And that's why I positioned last week like I did so you get a full view that this marks Jesus Christ opening the seals to say I'm gonna redeem back all of Creation it is the end and as we finish here my message the rise of Antichrist.

The Church Must Awaken for Christ’s Return

Please pray with me Father I pray Oh God put such an urgency in the body of Christ and in the heart of every Christian who listens. I pray for stirring of the church the body of Christ that the wise virgins are gonna hear that cry.

Behold, he cometh behold Jesus Christ is returning. This is the hour. This is the time. This is the season father. I pray that you'd awaken your church again from her sleep and her slumber. Surely the church is like those Sleeping virgins and father I pray stir her awaken her for this very last prophetic time of world history and Lord God make ready a bride that's gonna be caught away snatched away to meet you in the air.

We love you Lord Jesus, and we know that you are sovereign that you are our Savior. That you're absolutely in control and Lord God. We trust you with our life in our heart tonight in Jesus mighty name.

Amen. Forgive me for finishing on a sobering point. I gave you the good news last week and then I just want to finish with the rise of Antichrist you see these four seals that we've taught in this short series.

These four seals I believe showed the rise of Antichrist. We have taught this in Daniel very thoroughly before but I believe here tonight I just want you to see all that we have covered all that the white horse the red horse the black horse and the pale horse.

Mean and represent in these four horses. There is going to come the rise of Antichrist these are the four stepping stones that are going to lead to world government being handed over and Given into the hands of one unique man that the Bible has prophesied for Thousands of years he is an utterly unique man and it's gonna happen right at the end of time.

You see these four horses are gonna set the whole course of things as we've dealt with before. We saw how Hitler rose to power you could read in your history books Mussolini or Napoleon or any of these great world leaders rose to power.

I have studied all these men very carefully and I have noted the world events in Society in the economy in politics that prepared the way for the rise of a tyrant and again I want to tell you we are at the very eve of this world being given over to the rise of Antichrist, but these are the stepping stones when that white horse rides out Antichrist is only a part of the political system that creates a world government.

He is one king he is a insignificant Political leader in the world, but it's that white horse that initiates his political career. That's gonna lead to him becoming a world tyrant with the white horse he's noted as the leader the little king as the Political mastermind who confirms a seven-year covenant with Israel.

That begins the last seven years and that's gonna be initiate at least publicly the political career and rise of Antichrist and yet he is only one king or one political leader under ten Kings who make up the world government of that hour.

It's gonna be the beginning of the last world government. Sometimes in Revelation called the seventh head of the beast. But this little horn is gonna become the eighth and the last Head of that beast the seventh becomes the eighth.

We move from ten world leaders to one world leader and the Bible speaks about this very carefully. We see that the Antichrist is introduced in an environment of peace. He is a peacemaker. He is a man of peace.

He comes speaking peace. He makes peace with God's people Israel and Brings peace to the city of Jerusalem. Many are gonna be in awe of this political mastermind. He is gonna come Speaking against war and violence and yet he's only one small political leader.

I believe the ten great global leaders are gonna think that he's just a little pawn in their hands. They don't know who they're dealing with. He is gonna be a mastermind Placed for a certain time and he's gonna usurp all of their power.

It is while these ten leaders rule for about a period of three and a half years That he is gonna begin to ascend to such a point where he is gonna overthrow the entire political system and so he starts as a peacemaker then as the second horse the Red Horse rides out and civil disobedience a National Horizons all over the world take place.

I believe he's gonna be supporting a world government that puts down and slaughters all opposition to this world government then the third horse the black horse of hyperinflation and a famine in a time when it's hard to feed yourself or your family this Little horn this little political leader is going to begin to rise and midst Economic crisis and what is gonna seal this is the fourth and final horse the pale horse of death and hell when God's four great judgments go out across the earth and a quarter of The world's population is gonna die at that time two billion people in less than one year are gonna die.

This is the environment in which this man is gonna rise to power the one that all through church history We've known as the Antichrist. There is a spirit of Antichrist, which the Bible speaks about. There are also many Antichrists, but the Bible does speak about one man called Antichrist and yet he has many different names.

Daniel’s Prophecy and the Antichrist’s Political Rise

Throughout the Bible in Daniel chapter 11 verse 34 to 35 it says even To the time of the end because it is yet for a time appointed. Notice that Daniel is speaking about just before he speaks about this last great world leader who rises up on the world Scene he actually says it's gonna happen at the time of the end.

He also says that it is for a time Appointed in other words, there is a set time in which this is going to happen. He goes on To begin talking about this great world leader that will arise at the time.

It is a set time. It's not an Antichrist hands, but it's the Lamb of God remember Revelation chapter 6 verse 1 it is Jesus the Lamb of God who breaks the seal and allows the first white horse to ride out.

Do you realize the Lamb of God is holding everything back? He is very merciful. He is very gracious and he does know the hour that it is Saints of God here tonight. I want to give you three in fact four key points.

But three of these points are gonna reveal the climate in which Antichrist reveals. I believe there's a climax coming and Daniel talks about it as the time of the end or an Appointed time or a set time in which this great world leader is gonna come.

He's gonna rise as the king of the north out of a region that I believe will be a joint a revived old and a Syrian Empire it's gonna be the union of Syria and Iraq together. And this little king is gonna rise up on the world scene in a very very remarkable way.

But I've got three things initially to point out and then one final point. My first point here is the fullness of moral Iniquity, let me say that again. Listen very carefully. Because I'm talking about a specific time when the Bible prophesies or predicts that the Antichrist is going to rise.

There is a short period of three and a half years in which he rises to power and then gains power. It's gonna be amidst bloodshed Economic crisis it is gonna be in a terrible time of death and famine.

That he is gonna rise a short period of three and a half years. It is a certain time in biblical history and in world history. That it's gonna happen and there's my first point the fullness of moral iniquity.

It is gonna be at the very time of the fullness of Moral iniquity. Let me explain myself here and I'm tying many scriptures Daniel 2nd Thessalonians 2, Matthew 24. I want to tie them all together with Revelation chapter 6 and show you how other scriptures fit into these four seals.

That we've already taught on here. So this first point the fullness of moral iniquity the time of these four seals. Being unsealed and the horses released is the time of the fullness of moral Iniquity and I'm gonna explain this very thoroughly Daniel 8 chapter 8 verse 28 and it says in the latter time of their kingdom when the transgressors are come to the full a king of fierce countenance and Understanding dark sentences shall stand up.

So notice here in Daniel chapter 8 it talks about in the latter time of their kingdom. He's talking about a certain kingdom he's talking about the end of its history and of world power and he Specifies what it's gonna be like in that hour when a king of fierce countenance is going to arise.

What is that time gonna be like it says when the transgressors are come to the full. So we see that Antichrist will stand up the little horn the man of sin. This world leader is going to rise to power when when the transgressors are come to full.

This is a clear prophecy shown that the hour that we are living in the days ahead of us. It's gonna be a time when transgressors Sinners wicked men are going to come to the full. What does it mean to the full to maturity?

To fullness to Completeness another words wicked men transgressors breakers of God's Word. They are gonna come to an absolute fullness at their very peak at the time this King Arises, why do you think that Jesus Christ would open up the seals?

Do you think he does it without grace and love and mercy? Do you know why he breaks that seal is because there is a climate in our world when transgressors are fast coming to fullness and you know what it is it is a judgment on a generation that is fast spiraling out of control and is reaching its absolute deepest point of Transgression.

No wonder that the father says to the son open the seal. No wonder that the Lamb of God opens up the seal. He is a lamb of love and mercy and of grace. He wants to save the worst of sinners, but you know what a time comes for judgment.

When is the time for judgment and then for wrath wrath? When the transgressors are come to the full. Notice again, it says a Matthew 23 Jesus speaking Matthew 23 verse 32 and he says there Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

He is speaking to the hypocrites. To the religious leaders and he goes on to say ye serpents ye generation of vipers. How can ye escape the damnation of hell? What strong words that Jesus speaks to these Pharisees these scribes these religious leaders?

He calls them serpents a Generation of vipers and he says you will not escape the damnation of hell. These are strong words that Jesus is speaking about The religious system of that day and generation and you know what he said to them.

You see he prophesied elsewhere the Jerusalem was going to be destroyed that it was actually very close the judgment of Jerusalem and he said oh you mothers. Oh that you had heard me. I wanted to gather you as a mother hen gathers her chicks around or around her.

I wanted to protect you. I wanted to deliver you you Jerusalem did not realize your day of visitation me preaching here as the Messiah Doing miracles in your midst and you didn't realize God was visiting you and you know what he was saying.

Very shortly not a stone of the temple is going to be left here. It's all gonna be wiped out. Judgment is coming. It's at the door and notice the time he said to this religious system. He says you Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

In other words, this generation Cut is gonna fill up the cup of judgment. You see there's a time when Jesus says it's time to judge the earth. Do you realize we're on the eve of this world coming under great judgments?

Do you realize Christ who is merciful and gracious is gonna say enough is enough. We have reached a place of great iniquity. Iniquity, in fact Jesus in Matthew 23 28. He says even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men.

But within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. So look at them these religious leaders in Jerusalem. They look good on the outside. They spoke about righteousness. But they were full their hearts were full of hypocrisy and iniquity and the Lord said it's full.

You've filled up the cup and it's time for judgment. There's nothing else left for you. But hell that's all that's left for you. What a terrible thing when God decides that enough is enough in any generation again in 1 Thessalonians 2 and 16 it says.

About those in Paul's day who were forbidding us to speak to the gentiles. That they might be saved. To fill up their sin all way for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. Paul again is talking about religious people.

Who were trying to hinder paul preach to the the the pagans the gentiles and these religious jews were hindering them. You know what? He says about them. He says you have filled up your sins always by these acts by these attitudes.

By these words you are filling up your sins. And you know what the wrath of God is going to come upon you. And so we see all through scripture that God is very patient men individuals cities nations. Generations they fill up the cup of iniquity.

God is very very patient. And so we see the days in which antichrist is going to live. Are days in which the cup is almost full. That iniquity is going to bind again. Jesus in Matthew 24 and 12. And he says and because iniquity shall abound the love of many shall wax cold.

What is iniquity? Jesus prophesied one of the last signs. One of the signs that we are drawing right into the end of time. Is that iniquity shall abound. The word iniquity anomia. It means lawlessness or Contempt hatred for law.

It means to violate the law break the law whether it's God's law or man's law. It's taken the law of God out of legislation out of society out of life. It means to go beyond God's law. There is going to be an hour Unparalleled in world history.

Jesus prophesied it Right at the very end. Where iniquity shall abound? You see we've always had iniquity. Iniquity has always been there in every generation and yet Jesus says it's going to abound at the very end.

It's going to be a sign that you're going to see all through society that iniquity lawlessness. Casting out law whether man's law or God's law. It's going to be cast out. It's going to be hated. And we know in 1 John chapter 3 and 4.

It says sin is the transgression of the law to transgress the law to go beyond it to reject it. To neglect it. What a terrible place this is. Lawlessness is going to abound. The word abound means to multiply not just addition.

Not just increasing. It is going to multiply. Not just growing. It's Exploding. It's going to bust the riverbanks. We've always had lawlessness. We've always had sin always had transgression. But there's going to come an hour in the world where iniquity is going to burst the banks.

There's going to be a removal of laws that you can't even imagine. There's going to be a changing of law. There's going to be a breaking of law and of legislation. There's going to be no more restriction on lawlessness.

That's what Jesus is actually prophesying. No more restriction. No more limit. No more barriers. Nothing else left to hinder iniquity. There's going to be a climate of utter iniquity of lawlessness that engulfs society.

It'll be in politics. It'll be in the economy. It'll be in law and legislation. It's going to enter our schools. It's going to enter every sphere. It's even going to invade the church where there is a spirit of lawlessness.

Do you begin to see why God? Is actually gonna begin these last seven years. Do you realize why God is going to come and judge the earth? It's not because he lacks love. You see I believe in this message as we close you're gonna understand why God finally and reluctantly has to judge the world.

It's because the cup is full. Men have thrown off righteousness. They have rejected the law of God and there's nothing left. God would actually be unrighteous if he doesn't judge this generation. He'd have to repent to to know his old world before the flood.

He'd have to go to Sodom and Gomorrah and apologize if he does not judge this generation. Look what's happening in around us in this hour. I I can't even believe what we've seen in the past 10 years. All of the things that have begun.

All the things that have begun to affect our world. Homosexuality. Transsexualism. All of the stupidness that have come in. What a terrible thing. What a terrible thing that we began to see in this generation.

All all of the things that are sweeping society. You know what it is. It's transgression coming to its fullness. What sort of effect is this going to have in our world it says. And Jesus prophesied this.

And because iniquity shall abound the love of many shall wax cold. Who's he talking about here? He's talking about real Christians born again Christians. There's going to come a climate in the last generation before Jesus comes of iniquity.

Exploding in every area of society. What effect is that gonna have? It's gonna have the effect of actually the love of many in the church. Growing very cold. The word love there is not the word philio for a friendship or the normal Human love.

It doesn't mean that. The word love there is a gappy love. It's the love of God. It's a love that has its source in God. It's Calvary love. It's Supernatural love. It is sovereign love. That's what this love is.

It's talking about the love that's in the heart of Christians. And do you know what that love in the heart of Christians is gonna grow cold? It's gonna move from a gappy love to philio love. Do you remember what we dealt with on Sunday and Peter Jesus coming to him asked him three times.

Peter. Do you love me? And the first time he says do you a gappy me. And Peter says I philio you. Jesus asked again. Do you a gappy me? Yes, I philio you. The third time Jesus says do you philio me. And Peter says master, you know that I philio you.

Do you realize what happened to Peter in his love growing cold? Warming his hands by the fires of sinners by denying Christ with oaths. Do you realize that we are in an hour right now? Where the love of many is like Peter's and there's many who are going back to their fishing nets.

What an hour that we live in that Jesus said there's gonna come a climate of Iniquity a bond and iniquity and you know what the love of many is gonna move from a gappy love to philio love from God's Supernatural passionate love for Jesus Christ and it's gonna become a natural human love.

Now I'm talking about Christians in the church and I believe these are the wise Virgins who sleep like the foolish virgins and they need awakened in this hour. It's a midnight hour. It's the hour of coldness.

It's the hour where you stand warm in your hands by the fire of this world. Can I exhort you tonight you in the workplace in your family in society? Are your hearts burning with fire or are they cold?

What a dangerous hour. Do you see how this is the climate that Antichrist arises out of? Do you realize that this is the climate the hour in which? Jesus breaks the first seal it's in such a time. Because time for judgment has come.

The Fullness of Moral Iniquity

Let me give you an example from the Old Testament Genesis chapter 15 and verse 16 and it's speaking about God speaking to Abraham prophesying about Israel their future history. Listen to what it says in verse 16, but in the fourth generation They that is Israel shall come forth again.

God had just prophesied that Israel will be in Egypt 400 years he said that in verse 13 400 years your people Abraham Are gonna be in captivity in Egypt. But there is gonna come an end to that and this is what he's saying in the fourth generation.

They shall come hither again into the land of the promise. For the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. So look what God is saying to Abraham about this this land of Canaan that you Abraham are in This land of promise this land that I have covenanted onto Israel.

Do you realize the time is not right yet? There is going to be a time Israel is going to stay in Egypt 400 years and As they abide there 400 years all the time in Canaan the Amorites Are going to be filling up the cup of iniquity.

For the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full in other words. They're in the land of Canaan as The Amorites not wicked people in the land of Canaan as they grew more and more perverse immoral wicked debased utterly vile as that society Spirals down out of all control.

You know what God is saying to Abraham you're gonna see Certain things come to pass all at the same time as the cup of iniquity of the Amorites Reaches fullness. God is gonna send Moses down into Egypt to bring the people up.

You know why it's gonna be time. Everything's gonna be coordinated to a certain time. And you know what when that cup gets full Israel is gonna come marching into the promised land and defeat the Amorites.

You know why the cup is full if you want to know why Israel entered the land. Destroyed the Amorites cast out seven different peoples including the Canaanites. You know why the cup was full. God did not judge the Amorites or Canaanites.

Until their cup of iniquity was full. In other words They become so wicked and deprived. The Lord was going to cast them out of the land. In Leviticus 18 25 It says the land is defiled. Therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it and the land itself vomited out her inhabitants.

Also in verse 28 that the land Spew you not out also when ye defile it as it Spewed out the nations that were before you have you ever heard such a thing that the land Nations are gonna spew out people when God judges Judges them.

I believe our world is coming to a point where it's ready to spew out the nations. I believe the cup of judgment is about to be full. It's not going to be delayed any longer. It is fast coming in many years ago.

Someone wrote very profound words. They said the mills of God grind slowly, but surely it's a very old statement to say things seem to take a long time. Judgment seems to take a long time. It seems like God is an actin or Dealing with sin.

It seems like everything goes on and wicked men become worse and worse and worse things become worse in society. Where is God? Why doesn't God judge? Why doesn't he stop things? The mills of God grind slowly.

Oh very slowly slow so slowly. You can't see them, but they'll grind. Surely everything's gonna be ground to powder. The mill of God is is gonna Be fulfilled. In other words, there seems to be a delay in judgment, but it's gonna come.

Do you remember in the days of Pharaoh when Moses went down and said let my people go. God actually warned Pharaoh that he was gonna judge. Warned Pharaoh Commanded Pharaoh what to do if you don't let my people go.

I'll send Judgment and wrath, you know what the Bible says it says that Pharaoh Hardened his heart. He became hardened. He actually stiffened his heart against the words of God the warnings of judgment.

You know when you see a sinner who hears about the coming judgment about hell and they harden their heart. They're in serious trouble. Because someone who suddenly hardens their heart will suddenly be destroyed.

You cannot harden your heart against God harden your your head against him. Shut your ears to him turn away from his warnings and think it's gonna be okay. There's gonna be a sudden destruction when that individual least expects it.

God will suddenly take them away to harden your heart against God is a very terrible thing. You need to soften your heart. And so we see that Pharaoh done that here comes an hour of divine judgment. God is gonna set his people free and you know what Pharaoh done.

He first laughed and rejected every time a judgment come his heart softened and he said, okay leave. But then his heart would harden again and it said don't let the people leave. He was warned about God's wrath and judgment, but he treated it very very lightly.

How dangerous how utterly dangerous between Exodus chapter 4 and 14 at least? 14 References to Pharaoh hardening his heart, but you know what's shocking at the first it's him hardening his heart. Then he would soften again.

But finally it is God who hardens his heart. No, he can never turn back. God has hardened his heart. You know what God is doing. God is gonna use him as an instrument of his wrath and of his own judgment.

You see when you read the book of Romans Romans chapter 1 chapter 2 chapter 3 chapter 9. These are remarkable chapters about God's judgment. In Romans chapter 2 and 5 it says but after thy hardness and impotent heart treasurist up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and Revelation of the righteous judgment of God who will render to every man according to their deeds.

You realize when God shows your mercy a new heart in your heart. He allows you to live. He stops you from getting killed and yet you're still living in your sin when our cities do that. They reject the gospel.

They turn away from God. They mock the gospel of Jesus Christ. Do you realize cities are storing up the wrath and judgment of God? What an hour that we are living in in Romans chapter 9 and verse 22 It says what if God willing to show his wrath and to make his power known?

Endured with much long-suffering the the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction. Another words Pharaoh and in Romans 9 He talks about Pharaoh and God's judgment on Pharaoh and he says, you know I left Pharaoh there to harden himself.

In fact at a certain point God takes over and Hardens Pharaoh's heart. He is a world leader. He is a politician and God hardens his heart, you know, why because God is going to destroy Egypt. God is going to destroy Pharaoh.

God is going to bring an hour of Unparalleled wrath and judgment upon the world and you know what? He will harden men's hearts. They love sin. I'll give them over to their sin. What does Romans chapter 1 says?

It says men refused truth. They rejected truth. They once held truth. Now they suppress truth so what's God gonna do he'll give them over to a Reprobate mind a mind a reprobate mind a mind in which there's no hope and men will go after men.

Women after women, you know what he's saying. I'm giving society over the end of every civilization all through History in our world whether it was Rome or any other society right before it was totally destroyed.

It was marked by rampant Homosexuality, that's what the historians tell us every single time a society was wiped out like Sodom and Gomorrah and crashed when pagans invaded their society it was because homosexuality softness Absolutely flooded the society.

Something has changed in our world. We are actually at that stage. We are at an hour where God is coming to judge he said I've shown you mercy and grace. I've held back my wrath. Do you realize what we see in these seven sealed the wars the famines the troubles the death toll?

The world government that wants to destroy mankind the Antichrist reign on the earth. Don't you realize God was holding it back. He's a merciful God. He doesn't want anyone to perish. An entire generation is gonna perish In a terrible hour and you know what the Lord has been holding it back.

But it's fast coming to a point where he's not gonna hold back anymore. That's my first point the fullness of moral Iniquity. Do not be a part of this Moral iniquity where you threw off all restraint where you say I don't believe in the constraints of the Bible.

Do you realize this Bible is filled with prophecies to show you if you believe in Bible prophecy. Then you better believe the commands of God you better be holy you better repent you better be born again.

The Fullness of Financial Iniquity

My second point the fullness of financial iniquity. So first we have the fullness of moral iniquity. Second. We have the fullness of financial iniquity. I mean the economic financial system in our world is gonna come to a point of fullness a fullness of Iniquity where God has to judge the whole economic system.

Now as a backdrop of this we're dealing with revelation where the seals get open of judgments 21. Judgments are described to us beginning with the first seal Revelation chapter 6 verse 1 that is the beginning and it carries all the way through to chapter 22 of Bible prophecy.

But listen to what it talks about this financial Economic system at the end of time. What does it look like? We see in Revelation chapter 17 Mystery Babylon a Religion based on the city of Rome that's put statues and idols in all of the world.

It's sitting on the seven hills of the city of Rome and in Revelation 17 We see it at the end of its history. Do you know what happens in at that time? We're told the ten kings The the the first seal gets open those ten kings that come to power one of the first things they destroy is mystery Babylon.

That religious system that has been in our world for millennia is Gonna be destroyed by the ten kings before the rise of the little horn before the rise of Antichrist. They destroy one of the biggest religions in our world.

They destroy its base in Vatican City. That's what happens in Revelation 17. And so in Revelation 17, we see the beginning of the reign of the ten kings. What do they do they destroy mystery Babylon? What else do they do they give their power to the beast system or the Antichrist?

The chapter after it is Revelation 18. It speaks about the physical City of Babylon it's gonna be the world capital of Antichrist and we see its judgment at the end of the Tribulation and so the last three and a half years we we see our sorry this Seven year period we see it begins with the ten world leaders Destroying the Roman Catholic Church, and it's gonna end by God sending fire from heaven to destroy the Economic capital of our entire world mystery bought and Babylon is symbolic but myth but The city of Babylon in Revelation 18 is a literal Physical city it is a rebuilt city of Babylon.

The notice as the kings of the earth are glad When mystery Babylon the religion gets destroyed. But when the physical city of Babylon gets destroyed the kings and the merchants weep over the fall of this literal Babylon so their attitudes are different.

Farewell mystery Babylon, but they weep over the literal city of Babylon. Their reaction is very different and you know why it's because the physical city made the merchants of the world. Very very rich this city this last world city called Babylon is gonna be the Economic capital of the entire world.
