From Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq to the African continent;
soldiers of the Dajjal are fearlessly marching on. They turned a merciful
religion that forbids evil and encourages acts of good; a religion that
distinguishes men neither by the color of their skin nor the clothes they wear
but by the degrees of their piety; a religion that encourages men to compete
for the greatest good for the greatest of rewards – turned it into dreadful
evil exactly as foretold by the prophet of Islam as a sign of the end times. “When
that moment comes” according to the Prophet “and you are holding on to a stump
of a tree (dead tree); keep holding on to it because it is better for you than
joining any of them” - referring to the 73 warring factions that Islam will
break into.
If you have any iota of doubt that Babylon is Iraq…
Google Dictionary: Babylon - The chief city of ancient
Mesopotamia and capital of the ancient kingdom of Babylonia.
Babylon - (Easton's Bible Dictionary)
The Greek form of BABEL; Semitic form Babilu, meaning
"The Gate of God." In the Assyrian tablets it means "The city of
the dispersion of the tribes." The monumental list of its kings reaches
back to B.C. 2300, and includes Khammurabi, or Amraphel (q.v.), the
contemporary of Abraham. It stood on the Euphrates, about 200 miles above its
junction with the Tigris, which flowed through its midst and divided it into
two almost equal parts. The Elamites invaded Chaldea (i.e., Lower Mesopotamia,
or Shinar, and Upper Mesopotamia, or Accad, now combined into one) and held it
in subjection. At length Khammu-rabi delivered it from the foreign yoke, and
founded the new empire of Chaldea (q.v.), making Babylon the capital of the
united kingdom. This city gradually grew in extent and grandeur, but in process
of time it became subject to Assyria. On the fall of Nineveh (B.C. 606) it
threw off the Assyrian yoke, and became the capital of the growing Babylonian
empire. Under Nebuchadnezzar it became one of the most splendid cities of the
ancient world.
