““The Daughter of Babylon prophecies are all world events that will happen before the following prophetic events: a.) the rise of the Antichrist and False Prophet; b.) the second peace treaty with Israel; c.) the Rapture of the Church; d.) the seven year Tribulation period; e.) the Second Coming of Christ. The Daughter of Babylon will be removed from the world stage before the above listed prophetic events. In fact, it is the removal of this rich, powerful and influential end times nation that precipitates and leads to the rise of the Antichrist (see Chapter 12 for details). Until the rise of the Antichrist there won’t be a second peace treaty with Israel, nor the seven year Tribulation period which starts with the signing of the treaty. Thus, though escaping the destruction of America by way of a heavenly Rapture would be much preferable to living through it, scripture doesn’t support that option. God’s people, as throughout history, will live in perilous times, with accompanying persecution.””
