BABYLON MAY YET FALL...

As a result of the dynamic Ramadan War conducted by Israel (Roaring Lion), and USA (Epic Fury) against the Republic of Iran’s SHIA regime (Feb. 28, 2026 → ), the World has now witnessed Iran’s ballistic missiles and drone warfare being viciously and consequentially directed at SUNNI Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq, Oman, Dubai, Kuwait, etc., in retaliation for them hosting USA military bases. 

When I wrote the original article about BABYLON IS FALLEN, (url above, in December, 2023), I could not ‘see any current and obvious reason’ ― other than the fact that my research led me to that conclusion ― for Iran and the ‘ten horns eighth alliance to wreak destruction on the harlot city described in Revelation 17:11‒13, 16‒18, which would be meted out on Mystery Babylon; (subsequently identified as the great end-time city called Mecca), which is located with the seven-headed Islamist beast in the wilderness. (Rev. 17:1‒6)

However, we should not forget that this clash of civilizations actually started on October 7, 2023 with Hamas’ brutal attack on Southern Israel being urgently expedited by Iran, because of Saudi Arabia’s willingness to join in talks about the Abraham Accords; (already established between Israel and UAE, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco), and pending talks with Kazakhstan, and Syria. Iran obviously feared that its mainly SUNNI Muslim brothers were going down the road to normalizing relationships with Iran’s dread enemy ‘little Satan’ aka Israel. Consequently I thought, at the time of writing (2023), that the long-simmering antagonism, hatred and jealousy that have existed between SUNNI Arab, Saudi Arabia and TWELVER-SHIA Iran over religious matters, which have persisted for 14 Centuries, might have been sufficient historical reasons for Iran’s eighth alliance punitive action against the harlot (aka Mecca) described in Rev. 17:16.  Subsequently, the 12-day war via Israel’s (Rising Lion – June 13, 2025 →) and USA’s (midnight Hammer ‒ June 22, 2025 →) sudden attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, have only added more fuel to Iran’s hatred, and enhanced the threat to Iran’s existence.

So, with the Ramadan War (Feb. 28, 2026 →) and Iran having its back to the wall during the last 5 ½ weeks ‘Joint Operation’ while its Air Force, Navy and military infrastructure has been stripped away ― via the recent Israeli and American attacks (with the ‘seeming compliance’ of the Gulf Arab nations) ― it seems Iran’s adverse and vicious attacks on its Arab neighbours, has only added energy to that ancient hatred, which has now been brought to the World’s attention. Thus, Iran’s present-day ruthless chastisement of its SUNNI Arab neighbours has largely ‘back-fired’ on the SHIA regime, and it will not be forgotten by the Arabs!

Although a tentative ‘pause’ in the hostilities and reciprocal bombing (carried out by Israel against Iran and Hezbollah, and USA against Iran), is presently being ‘manufactured’ in Pakistan, there is ‘little hope’ of a successful conclusion to this (pie-in-the-sky) peaceful solution, against a regime that kills and oppresses its own people, which holds the World’s economy to ransom for oil via the Hormuz Strait; even while the Urani-mams demand their right to process nuclear material to near-atomic bomb grade.

So, while the ‘unidentified leader/s’ in Iran don’t seem to care about who and what they destroy in their ‘suicidal mission’ toward world dominion; it seems perfectly clear that Iran will not back-down; and via their ‘tantrum of hatred’ against Israel, USA, and the rest; its Arab neighbours may yet suffer more destruction from Iran and its proxy Houthis in Yemen. Accordingly, any ballistic missiles fired from either Iran or by the Houthis in Yemen aimed at the oil pipeline now crossing Saudi Arabia to its Red Sea Port in Yanub, effectively puts the holy city of Mecca (Mystery Babylon, and the Throne of the beast), within range, since they are only 238 miles apart by road.

So far, only UAE has responded in-kind to Iran’s aggression, but if the ‘two-week pause’ in fighting, (mid-April, 2026) fails to produce ??, and bombing is resumed, and Iran continues to harass Saudi Arabia, and they respond in-kind (as apparently, they are willing to do), then the fiery destruction of the great city of Mecca (personified as the harlot woman), might be on the cards sooner than I thought it might be!  (Rev. 17:16) As I suggested earlier, Iran or the Houthis may ‘do the deed’ as a ‘false-flag’ operation and blame it on Israel, which would arouse the whole Muslim ummah to retaliate.  (Rev. 16:12‒14)

This is the reason:

For God has put it into their hearts [the ten horns... who receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast] to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.  And the woman... is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth. (Rev. 17:12, 17‒18)

If you know your Bible you will be aware that God’s purpose is to destroy an idolatrous entity and its throne, called Babylon, or Daughter of Babylon (who escaped judgment during the Old Testament period, whose sins have now reached to heaven), for her sins against the Temple, against the people of God, and for everything described in Revelation 18, and for the fact that in idolatry was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth. (Rev. 18:24)

The purpose and words of God (affecting Babylon) that are yet to be fulfilled are found in many scripture verses, primarily in: Psalm 137:8; Jeremiah 50‒51; Isaiah 47:1; Zech. 2:7; Rev. 17‒18.

In these chapters and verses there are many repetitive themes and words, indicating that Mystery Babylon’s destruction is sudden, violent, and fiery because of God’s judgment upon Babylon for her pride, arrogance and idolatry.  In the New Testament: Cf. 1 Cor. 10:7, 14; 1 John 5:21; Col. 3:5; and in the Old Testament: Is. 45:20; Jonah 2:8; Judges 10:14; Lev. 19:4.

As suggested in my recent sermon, we should take care what we listen to (during this present conflict) so that we are not deceived, because it just might be God who is destroying the works of the Devil, (1 John 3:8) and the harvest time has come! (Mark 9:29)
