Book Cover & Preview Text
Among the figures and the symbols used in the last book of the Bible, the woman known as “Babylon the Great” plays such an important part in the end times prophecies that two chapters in Revelations are dedicated to describe this woman and her fate. Just the name given to this city in the visions of John, “Babylon”, suggests a level of wickedness that has never been surpassed in the Biblical sense. Babylon the Great is a worldwide system representing humanity in its entirety. From science to religion, from environmentalism to international business, from mythology to technology, we can see the attributes of this goddess within all humanity represents. Even the sexual movements and trends reflect the descriptions and behaviors of the goddess.
The number 666 is a Babylonian numeral with hidden words behind it. It is a number not only linked to the Antichrist and the false prophet, but also with Babylon the Great, Babel, and Globalization. Unlike our modern numbers, Babylonian numbers had names which formed part of language vocabulary. When examined together, Babylonian numbers can form words. Those words behind the numbers can tell us what the 666 means.
The Biblical account of the Antichrist’s reign implies a global cooperation that is similar in some ways to the cooperation that existed at the tower of Babel. The tower of Babel and the government of the Antichrist can be compared to the globalization that is becoming a reality as time passes. The globalization that is uniting cultures, languages, and countries can be seen in humanity itself, establishing a world culture that demonstrates itself in the Bible as Babylon the Great. The desire of humanity to rely on itself and unite will usher a movement towards a peaceful unification through treaties, not military conquest. The number 666 is the culmination of that human global effort.
This study will show that the Sun gods worshipped in Babylon, Greece, Egypt, and so on, are directly connected to the Antichrist the Bible describes. To understand the connection between the Sun gods and the Antichrist we must also look at the connection between the Antichrist and Babylon the Great. The role of Babylon is crucial in understanding the rise of the Antichrist, and how the numbers 666 help to organize it all. But the power that the Antichrist will wield is not exactly his own, for as it will be seen Babylon the Great, and the powerful Dragon will grant him the power he needs to rule the world.

About the Book
The research in this book takes a closer look into Babylon the Great, the 666, and the Antichrist. The approach for this research combines Bible study with sources outside of the Bible that shed light to the mythologies and symbols to the three most famous enigmas of the book of Revelations. It connects Babylon the Great with ancient goddesses that are still worshipped and influential today. It reveals two sides to the 666 which include Babylonian numerals, sun gods, and socio-economic integrative systems. The study also connects the Antichrist to sun gods of the ancient times, revealing the relationship dynamics between the Antichrist and the other two symbols.
