Many Bible scholars have written and lectured extensively for years regarding Babylon the Great as mentioned in the Bible. The most popular view - as to accuracy - has been challenged lately. Please watch the following 29 minute video from prophecywatchers.com, with Gary Stearman as host interviewing Doug Woodward concerning Woodward's insights and views on where Babylon (or "Babylon the Great's daughter" ) just might be located. Gary and Doug Woodward also discuss other scholars viewpoints as to the whereabouts of Babylon the Great ! A fascinating discussion !
More about the end times we are currently experiencing, and also about the identity of Babylon the Great may be found by going to the "Search box" in the upper right hand side of this page and entering such topics as "Babylon the Great, end times, the Rapture, last days signs, Mark of the beast, " and so on. You may also find articles concerning faith, hope, salvation, forgiveness, etc. Many of the articles will also have videos.
Did you realize that 80% of Christians today do not believe in a pre-tribulation Rapture? (So said in the above video). My personal opinion as to the "why" of that fact may lie in the unfortunate truth that many of today's professing Christians do not read their Bibles! Oh, many may open them while at church services, and some may read devotionals such as "Our Daily Bread" or Oswald Chambers' "My Utmost for His Highest", and the like. Which is all fine and good - even excellent - practice. But nothing compares to reading the actual Word of God daily and in depth - prayerfully and expectantly and reverently! All Scripture is God-breathed! 2 Timothy 3:16
Following is another 29 minute video by prophecywatchers.com, with Gary Stearman and his co-host Mondo Gonzales discussing the so-called "Rapture Wars" of today - meaning the different beliefs as to the timing of the Rapture (pre-trib, pre-wrath, etc.) and how Christians can get argumentive concerning their beliefs thereof. As brought out in the following video, "The gift of faith does not require you to know everything. If your faith is whole and true, you will be raptured!" (no matter what view you might have as to the timing of the Rapture - whether before the Tribulation or after the Trib. or whatever!)
Some time ago I read a quote by A.W. Pink which said, in effect, "If you do not understand all of Scripture (or it is not necessary to understand all of Scripture) - just Believe!" I am paraphrasing it because I could not find it again on the Internet today to quote it exactly, mainly because I did not want to spend time looking for it in my urge to hurry and get this article posted now. When you think about it, Pink's quote is a wonderful insight into what true faith is! If you don't understand all of Scripture, just believe it in faith because God cannot lie, and He certainly is telling us the truth in His Holy Word!
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him." - Hebrews 11:6
"And when He saw their faith, He said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee." - Luke 5:20
"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believeth thou this?" - John 11:25-26
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." - John 14:6
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
