Threshing Hour

<p>Dreading Armageddon and the Babylon the Great? In the 1970s we were told the world was heading for a cataclysmic war but believers in Jesus were not to worry because we would be whisked away before it began. A charismatic world leader would then emerge and broker a peace-treaty between Israel and the Arab nations which would disintegrate into World War III and two-thirds of the Jews would be massacred. However the very name Har-Magedon a prophetic name for Jerusalem used by John and inspired by Zechariah reveals this battle will be an overwhelming victory for Israel and the Jews preceded by a revival in which 90% will become 'Jews for Jesus'. As for Babylon the Great in the 16th century Luther Calvin and the Reformers believed it was the Roman Catholic Church the all-powerful European institution in their day. In the 20th century however the Second Vatican Council reformed Catholicism; in 2008 Benedict XVI pronounced that Luther's teaching of 'justification by faith' was right all along. This book shows that Babylon the Great is much older than Catholicism - almost as old as Creation - and much larger and more pervasive than we may have suspected.</p>
