As far as I've been able to figure, in 2025 we are living after the Millennial reign, which is the time during the short season of Satan's rule, placing us squarely in Revelation 20. I have made other posts which delve into the reasons why I believe this, so will not do so in full, again, here. The intent of this essay is to figure the sequence of events that have taken place, and what more we have to expect.
Living after the Millennial reign necessitates that both the Beast and the False Prophet, in either their physical or spiritual forms, or both, have been cast into the lake of fire, and thus cannot pose a threat to us, anymore. That also means that the Mark of the Beast has come and gone. It also means that Babylon the Great Whore was already destroyed by the Beast. I will explain all this, ahead.
Revelation 17:16-17
And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these shall hate the whore, and lay her waste and naked, and eat her flesh and burn her with fire. For Elohim (God) did give it into their hearts to do His mind, to be of one mind, and to give their reign to the beast, until the words of Elohim shall be accomplished.
The above passage took place before Messiah's Millennial Kingdom, during the period of persecution against the believing people. Revelation 18 goes on to explain the depths of the Whore's transgression, but in Revelation 18:20-21 we get confirmation that Babylon the Great is entirely destroyed.
Revelation 18:20-21 [emphasis is mine]
“Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you set-apart emissaries and prophets, for Elohim has completely avenged you on her!" And one mighty messenger picked up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “With such a rush the great city Baḇel shall be thrown down, and shall not be found any more at all."
So, that is our confirmation that today, in 2025 there cannot be a legitimate Great Whore of Babylon. As John the Beloved was shown her fall, that it would come before the Beast and False Prophet fell, and that it would be complete. Still, that can leave us in a state of incomprehension, because, clearly, Babylon is all around us, today. Look how perfectly multiculturalism, 'global' trade, and mass perversion match up with the description of Babylon. Yet, still, we can see how epically multiculturalism has failed. Despite Satan's best efforts, we are not one people. Not in the United States, and certainly not in any of the other European countries where mass forced migration took place. Therefore, the power of Babylon the Great has failed again, and this is proof she is surely dead, as Satan's attempt to resuscitate her didn't work (whether that is by his design, or not, I do not know). Next, see what happened to the Beast and False Prophet.
Revelation 19:19-21
And I saw the beast, and the sovereigns of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to fight Him who sat on the horse and His army. And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he led astray those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image. The two were thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with sulphur. And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
This battle happened after the Messiah returned to the earth, from heaven, as He said he would to the Apostles.
Matthew 16:28
"Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death at all until they see the Son of Aḏam coming in His reign"
By Messiah's own words, He returned as He said He would. Most who believe in the Millennial Kingdom having already happened figure Messiah returned around 70AD.
So, Messiah told the Apsotles He would return shortly, even before some had tasted death. Revelation 19 showed us that the False Prophet and Beast are overthrown at a battle which takes place after Messiah had left then returned, again. Today, the Beast and False Prophet's power cannot be effectual. That is, the actual Beast and False Prophet cannot inflict any more harm, because they are in hell. But, that doesn't mean someone - namely, Satan - cannot use the residual essence of what they were to deceive people.
That battle of Revelation 19 lead immediatley into the Millennial Kingdom, the thousand years where Messiah ruled on earth, and Satan the Devil, was bound for that time.
Revelation 20:1-3
And I saw a messenger coming down from the heaven, having the key to the pit of the deep and a great chain in his hand. And he seized the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and he threw him into the pit of the deep, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should lead the nations no more astray until the thousand years were ended. And after that he has to be released for a little while.
So, after the end of the Millennial Kingdom, Messiah left the Earth. Satan was then loosed upon the Earth to deceive the whole world. This is where we are now in the timeline of the Age.
So, what comes next? With the power of Babylon, the False Prophet, and the Beast undone, in 2025, there is only the power of Satan's deception. The "age of deception," if you will. Thus, every sign of Babylonian multiculturalism, the Beast and his mark, and the prophecies and divine authority of the False Prophet are lies. Pure deception. But Satan has worked hard to obfuscate where we are in the timeline of the Age, but all that is now undone, and all is being revealed, as we are very close to the End.
We'll now look to the End of the Age to know the confirmation of how the Millennial Kingdom was set up only after the defeat of the Beast and False Prophet.
Revelation 20:10 [emphasis mine]
And the devil, who led them astray, was thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur where the beast and the false prophet are. And they shall be tortured day and night forever and ever.
"Where the beast and the false prophet are." That means they were already there, as in, they were defeated before Messiah's Millennial Kingdom, and thus cannot harm us anymore. You'll also note that Satan has again been defeated, and for the last time.
Now the Last Battle, that of Gog/Magog in full:
Revelation 20:7-10
And when the thousand years have ended, Satan shall be released from his prison, and he shall go out to lead the nations astray which are in the four corners of the earth, Goḡ and Maḡoḡ, to gather them together for battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. And they came up over the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the set-apart ones and the beloved city. And fire came down from Elohim (God) out of the heaven and consumed them. And the devil, who led them astray, was thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur where the beast and the false prophet are. And they shall be tortured day and night forever and ever.
What we have today, in 2025, is a failed attempt at a cyclical repeat on Satan's part. The Devil has attempted to summon up from hell the ancient powers he used to wield. It failed, but there is more yet to fail. There is an order to the fall of Babylon, the Prophet, and the Beast which will be mirrored in their false deceptive forms.
1st to fall: Babylon. She was overthrown by the Beast and False Prophet. Having been re-attempted and long running, ruling over most, but not all, the world for the past sixty-plus years, Babylon just failed miserably with Donald Trump's victory - the false deceptive version of the real Beast.
2nd to fall: False Prophet and Beast.
- False Prophets of all kinds have been rising and falling in the modern age, yet never really gain sway over the greater part of the nations - even Islam's false prophet has mostly just one people and culture to its name. So, it stands to reason that "False Prophets," i.e. false religious systems such as Islam, Catholicism, etc. will next fall, along with the Beast. But, before that fall, they will work together to form a centralized control scheme.
- Beasts are secular governing authorities. With Donald Trump's victory, we are going to see another attempt at the Beast System, complete with a Mark of the Beast via digital ID, a centralized banking system with crypto currency (death currency), and other control measures which will be presented as liberating and of being for the purposes of "peace and safety." This deceptive form of the Beast will also be thrown down at the same time as the deceptive form of the False Prophet. It will fail.
3rd to Fall: Satan. This is the End of the Age. Having exhausted all his deceptive powers, with Messiah having slowly, but surely, revealed all, placing all His enemies beneath His feet, Satan will summon what strength he has and gather Gog/Magog to battle against the Set-Apart City. The purpose of this is to force his way back into heaven, and, of course, usurp the throne of God - which will fail. I believe New Jerusalem and the "camp of saints" or "set-apart ones" will be at Mount Zion, in the center of the Earth - literally, the North Pole.
Aside from those found in Revelation, we have no further clues as to the timeline of our present day. And the only thing which makes sense is that the Millennial Kingdom already happened, and we are living in Satan's little season of deception. Really, this is cause for great rejoicing.
Seeing as Satan has nearly exhausted all his options, having failed to necromancy his old cohorts to life, he will be forced to do battle openly. This could happen in the next 200 years, or it could be in the next decade, or even year. I don't know, for "no man knows the day or hour," but Yahshuah did tell us to watch therefor, lest we be taken unaware.
Logos Prevailing.
