REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirty Six - Decline of Babylon the Great - Continue

 All these trends are doubtless part of the 'drying up of the river Euphrates in preparation for  the coming militaristic attack on Babylon the Great.  This 'drying up' is reflected, too  in the pope's announcement of October 1986 that the church must "again become dedicant"-because of huge deficits. (Revelation16:12)  Particulary since 1919 has Babylon the Great been exposed to public gaze as a spiritual wasteland, just as  the mighty angel here announces: "And she has become a dwelling place of demons and a lurking place of every unclean exhalation and a lurking place of every unclean and hated bird!" (Revelation 18:2b)  Soon she will be literally such a wasteland, as desolate as Babylon ruins in  20th century Iraq. - See also Jeremiah 50:25-28.
