``So just a little background. We have been discussing and preaching about Babylon. In Revelation chapter 17, we were introduced to Babylon in the book here in Revelation, and that was more the religious system, the false religious system. It was destroyed. Revelation seventeen sixteen, specifically by the antichrist. But you'll also note there in Revelation seventeen seventeen that God is gonna be the orchestrator of this destruction of this great religious system.

And as a result of this religious system being destroyed in Revelation seventeen sixteen, the antichrist is gonna rise up so that everyone will then worship him because that is his ultimate goal. He is just using the false religious system for those first three and a half years of the great tribulation to to to prop him up, if you will. But then in the halfway point of the great tribulation, Daniel tells us in Daniel nine twenty seven, that's when he will fully let everyone know who he is. The abomination of desolation as it speaks about in Matthew twenty four fifteen. That's then that's when he will then take over. And for the next three and a half years, he will think that he is ultimately in charge. Little does he know that god's design is for all of this to take place. And then eventually, he will be destroyed simply by what Jesus will do. [00:29:04] (56 seconds)  #AntichristRise Download clip

You know you know your history in The Middle East, specifically in Iraq during the Iraq war. You've heard about that. You've studied about that. So you she is sitting on wonderful oil deposits. So very wealthy, very affluent. That's the reason all these world leaders want to be have a part with her. But in the grand biblical scene, this scene is setting up for the return of the lord Jesus Christ. [00:33:22] (26 seconds)  #BabylonWealth Download clip

Why are they so mournful? Well, they've taken in the depravity of her. What depravity? Go over back to verse two. We see here, she has become a home for demons, haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, and a haunt for every unclean and despicable beast. So it gives us the thoroughness of the depravity of Babylon. These leaders, these world leaders, these government leaders have allied themselves with Babylon, but really they're allying themselves. They don't know this, but with the antichrist. And ultimately, with Satan. They don't know that either. They just think that they've got this gold mine, this golden goose, and they're just gonna ally themselves with Babylon because it make them really rich, really wealthy, really affluent, really powerful, and they will be that for a little while.

This past week in Davos, Switzerland, global leaders met for the World Economic Forum. They've been doing this since 1971. And you will note that many important decisions are made there in that little spot on planet Earth. Decisions that impact all of us and unbeknownst to ourselves, how these global leaders gather together in the Swiss Alps. And let's be honest, they have a lot of partying going on, but yet they make lots of decisions for us. [00:36:10] (33 seconds)  #DavosDecisions Download clip

These world leaders, these global leaders in Revelation eighteen, nine, and 10, when they see their golden goose dying, they're mourning. Woah. Woah. It's me. The great city of Babylon. And so all of these world leaders who just met there in Davos, Switzerland, I I I would venture to say that some of them, some of these countries that met this past week are still gonna be around when the great tribulation happens, and they're gonna be some of the these world leaders are gonna be crying out, woe was me.

And, you know, the countries that presently are against Israel, you do know that there are countries against Israel. Right? And some of them met this past week in those that beautiful palatial Swiss Alps that are very antisemitic. Also, are very against Christianity and its teachings. Now, our media will not say that but if you have discerning ears and discerning minds, you will pick up on that. [00:37:44] (31 seconds)  #HiddenAntisemitism Download clip

That these global elite, most especially these global leaders, they detest Christianity. Quite honestly, they detest what we are doing right now in little old Morganton, North Carolina. And if I may be be so bold, they think that we're idiots for doing this. We're just country redneck bumpkins. Why would you need to believe in someone that you've never seen? You need to be smart like us. You need to have authority like us and so they detest Christianity and they detest Christianity's teachings. [00:38:14] (47 seconds)  #ElitesVsFaith Download clip
