The Final Babylon: America & The Coming of Antichrist
by Douglas Woodward, Douglas Krieger and Dene McGriff
A book review by Terry James
Two of the most asked questions when we who speak on Bible prophecy open up the forums for questions and answers are: Is America mentioned in Bible prophecy? And do you think Antichrist is alive today? We all, of course, have ready answers, having had practice answering these questions so many times. None of us, however, go far beyond the oblique and obligatory responses: America isn’t mentioned by name anywhere in scripture, and According to all the other signs we see all around us today, the man who will be Antichrist must be somewhere in the shadows, awaiting his time to step onto the stage of end times history.
There have been very few full-length books written about these matters. S. Franklin Logston’s book “Is the .US.A. in Prophecy? “ and Noah Hutchings expansion on that book, “U.S. in Prophecy with S. Franklin Logston’s ‘Is the U.S.A. in Prophecy?’” come to mind. Beyond these, not much illumination has been shed on these inquiries of such interest to students of Bible prophecy –until now, that is.
The Final Babylon: America and the coming of Antichrist tackles the subjects in an intensive investigation of mounting evidence presented through historical and current issues and events of our time, in conjunction with insightful scriptural analysis. The authors have indeed written a thought-provoking book, one that has sent me back to re-read their well-ordered postulations and suppositions. I’m quite impressed and gratified that my reading and re-reading will provide much more than the oblique answers when I am next asked the questions: Is America in Bible prophecy? And do you think Antichrist is alive today?
To be honest, my answers at this point to those questions will remain in the vein of “this is what this book, The Final Babylon, has to say, rather than “Yes, America is definitely mentioned in Bible prophecy,” and “Yes, Antichrist is definitely alive today.” I will, however, not hesitate to recommend that the folks in the audience read the book for themselves, because the book deals with the subjects involved in a totally, Christ-centered way and with scholarly methodology as good as any as I’ve encountered, yet with down-to-earth communicative skills that make the complex understandable at first glance.
The book has caused me to re-think a number of positions I and probably the mainstream of premillennial teachers have traditionally come to champion. My mind isn’t necessarily changed or even in the process of changing position, but this volume grabs you from the first page and commands that serious attention be paid to what is about to be presented. It holds one’s attention at that level throughout.
The Final Babylon focuses directly on the argument that America and not Europe will be the power base of Antichrist. The book examines the Holy Scripture closely to present the biblical case that America possesses all the attributes of the Mystery Babylon of the Revelation (and the Daughter of Babylon in Jeremiah and Isaiah).
The traditional scenario in Bible prophecy since The Late Great Planet Earth is that America must diminish and Europe must become powerful again. Rome will be “revived” and the Antichrist will lead a ten nation confederacy, likely built around “the Euro” and the European Union.
The authors challenge this popular point of view. They propose America, and not a revitalized Europe, is the principal powerbase for Antichrist.
Who is Babylon?” What can we learn about Babylon from its “founders” – Nimrod and his mother/wife Semiramis? Is the future Babylon the historic city in Iraq? Is Antichrist going to be a Muslim? Should we assume the pejorative Babylon is to be interpreted literally or symbolically?
The authors offer intriguing arguments for their contention that America is destined to be the powerbase for Antichrist.
(1) America’s religious preoccupations reflect the Babylonian religion; (2) America’s national symbols reflect Egyptian (and Greco-Roman) deities and myths; (3) The infiltration of Nazi’s into America after World War II had enormous impact upon our government and “military-industrial complex;” (4) America’s unsurpassed financial muscle will not likely dissipate, neither is it likely to relinquish political domination of the “West;” (5) America’s military is global and many times the size of all of Europe’s military, with deployment of its 11 carrier groups, 80 submarines, and 1,000 military bases worldwide.
Woodward, Krieger, and McGriff ask the following: “There have been a number of great writers, researchers, and pastors, who bunked the standard prophetic scenario of dispensationalists and pointed the finger at America is the likely fulfillment of the prophecies in the Bible about the world’s final great empire headed by “the little horn” of Daniel (The Beast). How has nationalism in America caused us to miss the obvious? What attributes does Babylon possess that America clearly matches? Will the rapture cause America to diminish in power?…”
They further offer stimulating food for end times thought.
“New York City and Wall Street are arguably the most powerful force in the world, directing the global economy. Many conservative Christians argue that America is on the precipice of collapse and that the dollar is about to fail. Are we ready to enter into hyperinflation and fiscal ruin? Has “our death been greatly exaggerated?” How does our economy compare to others in the world? How does our political policy and financial policy intertwine to influence what happens around the world? Could America actually be poised to rebound?…”
Enter the first pages of this volume at your own risk. Your viewpoints and presuppositions will most assuredly be challenged –as are mine.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book for anyone wanting further perspective beyond the conventional.

Many declare that the United States will crumble and fall in economic collapse to be no more a superpower. But that is a direct denial of Christian prophecy. It will have economic problems like all others, yes. But it will never lose it’s global power. In fact, it will become THE power that helps the Antichrist enforce the mark of the beast all around the world. Below is a study in the Scriptures verifying this as fact.
Before studying, you may want to study up on the fact that the Vatican is the Earthly residence of Antichrist.

DOPES ignore John, just like you ignore Christ. Followers of a freaking Pharisee, the gospel of Paul:
1 John 2:18 You have heard that the anti-Christ shall come and now there are many anti-Christ
Laughably the idiot authors put on the book cover page, when the anti-Christ going to appear. Stupid authors, don’t buy their book they are idiots.
People who are good, I say this for you to put you at ease:
1. SEE REVELATION 6:12 and ask yourself will anything much of mankind’s infrastructure remain standing after God sends an earthquake that kicks off his judgment unto victory which is so strong that every mountain and every island is moved out of its place? So all these morons who talk about global power arising to usher in the Beast, NONSENSE.
How much of the world’s population will be killed in the great earthquake. Half, 2/3 or more? Christ says do not go back into your house, GO TO THE MOUNTAINS. After the great earthquake more judgments killing many many more people.
Further, GOD SENDS TWO PROPHETS to warn of the Beast BEFORE the Beast arises in physical form on the earth (Rev. Ch 11). This occurs AFTER the great earthquake.
The third Temple is not even build yet and the great earthquake does not occur until AFTER the abomination that makes desolate (Matthew 24:15, Daniel 11:31).
The debate about whether America is Mystery Babylon or the Daughter of Babylon I would submit is beside the point, and I’ll not comment on this. A glaring fact that doesn’t seem to be grasped, by especially those who have subjective views on this, can be likened to a saying, “If the shoe fits, wear it.”
That God has stated certain characteristics of nations He will judge, what is evil and what is righteous, I would simply ask the question: if a nation’s behavior is in rebellion to God and of certain characteristics, does it make any difference what you call that nation? Will God not judge as He has warned any nation given over to evil?
People need most be concerned about what the nation now is with respect to having any sort of Babylonian character, which, regrettably, there is much of at this time, no matter what name you call it. I submit the rules for the Daughter of Babylon would apply to any nation so disposed.
@ JustAComment
You said:
“The debate about whether America is Mystery Babylon or the Daughter of Babylon I would submit is beside the point, and I’ll not comment on this.”
Of course you won’t comment, because you don’t know, so like the typical know-nothing quasi intellectual that you are, you avoid the issue.
Once you understand that The USA is a Tribe of Israel (Manasseh) and behaves just like rebellious Israel has always behaved everything Babylonian and Canaanite in that behaviour becomes understandable.
The silly American people, like the silly British people have allowed their country to be hijacked and stolen from them by their enemies – Rome and The Canaanite Jews.

Many years ago, in a land far away, a nation of people were carried away as captives. While in their captivity, all but a few compromised with their captors. When they emerged from captivity, they were, in their minds and beliefs, Babylonians. They were lost.
They were also clever. In Rome, they created a great church they could control from within. They have created or infiltrated many institutions to carry out their misdeeds. Controlling leaders has always been their method of controlling nations. Bribery, extortion or assassination were all acceptable for this purpose. Today, with firm control over politics, the media, and finance, they have gained control over most of the world. The United States is mystery Babylon because the ones who control it is mystery Babylon.
If you would know who controls you, find out whom you cannot criticize
“If you would know who controls you, find out whom you cannot criticize”
The gays?
The blacks?
Mexicans?
Who is it?
The USA is just a hijacked tool of The Vatican/Canaanite Jew cabal – otherwise known as the Religious Money Empire.
They did the same thing with The English Empire (erroneously called The British Empire) until they destroyed it through two world wars. Churchill and Roosevelt being the chief Jew culprits in its destruction.
The USA is NOT Babylon.
Britain is NOT Babylon.
Rome and it’s Canaanite Jew love/hate allies are Babylon.
“find out whom you cannot criticize”
The government, aka big corporations. Not religion or places or people, but the bunch of ahats sitting behind your government yanking their strings for a fee.
I have been saying this for years in order for the status quo of Europe being the Babylon either America has to be out of the way or the way!
Either one to make sense of Bible drama and isn’t curious that America is not mentioned by name?
For one thing it is a play on words. It really means A-Miracle (phonetically America)! Meaning God’s hand was in it, but maybe it has changed to “mystery” Babylon because God removed His hand from his handiwork because of the sins of his chosen ones to reject Him.
More mainstream Christian garbage and satanic disinformation.
America is The Israelite Tribe of Manasseh.
America gets it’s name from the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Mercia in England when and where they resided along side their Ephraimite brothers in Essex (East Saxons), Wessex (West Saxons) and Sussex (South Saxons) until leaving in the 16th and 17th centuries for New Mercia (America).
Saxons are Isaac’s Sons.
LOL
http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/tudors/americaname_01.shtml
America was named after Richard Amerike, a Bristol, UK businessman in the 15th century.
Looks like the Kingdom of Mercia predates your quasi amateurish intellectual nonsense.
From Wiki:
“A Bristolian scholar and amateur historian, Alfred Hudd, SUGGESTED in 1908 that the continental name America was derived from Amerike’s surname due to his sponsorship of Cabot’s expedition to Newfoundland.”
Have you any other mickey mouse suggestions?
yes2truth. “Looks like the Kingdom of Mercia predates your quasi amateurish intellectual nonsense.”
Really? Since when did the 15th century come after your claimed 16th and 17th century fantasy story?
Amerike paid for the ships and contributed most of the funding for the expedition. His only request was if they found new land they should name it after him. They did, in the 15th century, not after your fantasy people in the 16th and 17th centuries.
@ Pix the half-educated,
There were no settlements in the colonies until 1607 when the descendants of the Mercian people (the Israelite Tribe of Manasseh) left English shores, so that makes your infantile point scoring claims of discovery as settlements, meaningless.
Yes2truth “There were no settlements in the colonies until 1607 when the descendants of the Mercian people (the Israelite Tribe of Manasseh) left English shores, so that makes your infantile point scoring claims of discovery as settlements, meaningless.”
The English are not descended from Egypt which is where the Israelites originated. The English are Europeans.
Your timing is way off. “European colonization of the Americas began in 1492, when a Spanish expedition headed by Christopher Columbus sailed west to find a new trade route to the Far East and inadvertently discovered the American continent.”
“America isn’t mentioned by name anywhere in scripture..”
That’s because the books, letters and stories that make up the bible, all originate from either the middle east or Greece from c1’100bce onwards, and none of them knew America existed when they were written. So much for them being the word of an all knowing god. Where’s the infallibility?
Oh yes they did.
All the ancient South and North American Indians were originally from Mesopotamia – the cradle of civilisation. The South American Indians spoke of blonde haired gods in ships that carried them there.
The Phoenicians navigated the globe as did the Ancient Israelites.
“All the ancient South and North American Indians were originally from Mesopotamia”
Wrong most of them originate from Japan via Siberia, you know, the ones that don’t grow beards.
“the cradle of civilisation.” Is debatable, there are older civilisations.
“The South American Indians spoke of blonde haired gods in ships that carried them there.”
Read the Orea Linda book. They were Europeans.
“The Phoenicians navigated the globe as did the Ancient Israelites.”
the Phoenicians did indeed navigate. “the globe” is a stretch of the imagination, but they certainly navigated the Mediterranean sea, possibly the coast of Africa, Europe up to Iceland.
“as did the Ancient Israelites.”
The Israelites didn’t exist until c1’100 bce. They were a tiny group of ex Egyptian slaves. They settled in Palestine destroying everyone who disagreed with their taking over, and were then destroyed and taken into captivity by Babylon… when, at what point in time, are you claiming they navigated the world?
“Native Americans actually came from a tiny mountain region in Siberia, DNA research reveals
Tiny region in central Russia has DNA link to native Americans today
Ancestors thought to have walked across ice 13,000 years ago
Altai is ‘key place’, because central location means ancient peoples passed through.
Altai in Siberia: A study of genetic markers in DNA showed that the lineage of Native Americans changed around 13-14,000 years ago – when people are thought to have walked across the Bering Strait
This roughly coincides with the period when humans from Siberia are thought to have crossed what is now the Bering strait and entered America.
‘Altai is a key area because it’s a place where people have been coming and going for thousands and thousands of years,’ said Dr Theodore Schurr, from the University of Pennsylvania in the US.
Among the people who may have emerged from the Altai region are the predecessors of the first Native Americans.
Roughly 20-25,000 years ago, these prehistoric humans carried their Asian genetic lineages up into the far reaches of Siberia and eventually across the then-exposed Bering land mass into the Americas.
‘Our goal in working in this area was to better define what those founding lineages or sister lineages are to Native American populations,’ Schurr said.
The region lies at the intersection of what is now Russia, Mongolia, China and Kazakhstan.
Dr Schurr’s team checked Altai DNA samples for markers in mitochondrial DNA which is always passed on by mothers, and Y chromosome DNA which sons inherit from their fathers.
Because of the large number of gene markers examined, the findings have a high degree of precision.
‘At this level of resolution we can see the connections more clearly,’ Schurr said.
Looking at the Y chromosome DNA, the researchers found a unique mutation shared by Native Americans and southern Altaians in the lineage known as Q.
Mitochondrial DNA is found in tiny rod-like ‘powerplants’ in cells that generate energy.
Both kinds of DNA showed links between Altaians and Native Americans.
In the Y chromosome DNA, the researchers found a unique mutation shared by Native Americans and people from southern Altai.
The findings are published today in the American Journal of Human Genetics.
Calculating how long the mutations they noted took to arise, Schurr’s team estimated that the southern Altaian lineage diverged genetically from the Native American lineage 13,000 to 14,000 years ago, a timing scenario that aligns with the idea of people moving into the Americas from Siberia between 15,000 and 20,000 years ago.
Though it’s possible, even likely, that more than one wave of people crossed the land bridge, Schurr said that other researchers have not yet been able to identify another similar geographic focal point from which Native Americans can trace their heritage.
‘It may change with more data from other groups, but, so far, even with intensive work in Mongolia, they’re not seeing the same things that we are,’ he said.
In addition to elucidating the Asia-America connection, the study confirms that the modern cultural divide between southern and northern Altaians has ancient genetic roots”
Pix and the flawed dna science
Mankind with their faith in themselves – a religion of fools.
I bet she believes in man made global warming too.
Next she will quote the even more flawed carbon 14 dating.
Get it through your thick head that ALL mankind and hu-mankind stemmed from Mesopotamia approximately 6,000 years ago – nowhere else and no earlier.

Wrong, I don’t agree with man made global warming. The DNA test was extensive. ie they have many examples which increases the resolution, you obviously didn’t bother to read it before nay saying it. DNA testing has nothing to do with carbon dating. der.
You have the right to disagree, you have the right to believe anything you like. You can believe Puff the magic dragon or the tooth fairy did it for all anyone cares. You do NOT have the right to vilify or victimise others based on that belief.
Mesopotamia dates from c. 3100 bce.. There are older examples of civilization. They are talking about the cradle of civilization in the middle east, not globally. der.
Again, the keyword “rapture” is a turnoff. If this book mentions it, it has no truth.
The word rapture is not in the Bible for a reason. It is a man-made-up stuff.
When judgement day comes it will be on all nations that have fomented hate, death,and destruction. Sadly to say a lot of people worldwide have turned on their people and people from other nations. We will all be judged.
Islam itself is the antichrist
Why is this in the science section?
I apologize. This was not in the science section. I got carried away.
He is the most powerful man on Earth, who rules over Maritime Laws (business) . He controls the banking system, Freemasonry and the Secret Services (CIA, FBI, NSA, SIS, MI6, Scotland Yard, Mossad, CSIS, DGSE, FSB). The Vatican owns 60% of all Israel lands and the Land of the Temple Mount for their Third Solomon’s Temple where they want their throne. He is a part of the Arcana Arcanorum controlled by the Papal Bloodlines within the I-Mori. These bloodlines are the omega point of control. These are the Farnese, ORSINI, Aldobrandini, Somaglia & Breakspear. Their war room command center is within the Borgo Santo Spirito which is missile protected! Viktor Emmanuelle IV wanted to nuke this region of Rome. Henry Breakspear and Pepe Orsini are in high control! Jesuit Assistancy Soldier, James Grummer controls the United States Corporation.
Who is this man
…..Black Pope Adolfo Nicolas 
“He is the most powerful man on Earth, who rules over Maritime Laws (business)”
And us. We are not issued with a ‘birth’ certificate for no reason. That’s ‘birth’, as in a ship birthing at a dock.
Obama’s the AC and none of you say it.
Why?
You work for Satan aka Obama?
Because nobody else is as delusional as you. Except your other accounts, if you can count that.
You’re an idiot who’s only proof is three numbers popping up days after an election.
That’s not proof, that’s probability. Grow up.
