After the rapture, the system set up by the Roman Catholic Church will head up what is called Babylon, the false church, during the tribulation. In the middle of the seven years of tribulation, Babylon will fall, but she will not be destroyed until the end of the seven years when Christ returns.
Today many people mix the world, culture, pleasure and business with a religious system of priests, uniforms, laws and rituals. In the tribulation, people will want to worship something but not God. People will worship money, success and the Beast. Babylon will control much of the commercial business and financial markets of the world.
A voice from heaven warns true believers to come out of Babylon. God will reward Babylon with double punishment because they have killed and persecuted true believers who did not follow the practices of the false church. Babylon will suffer a violent end. When Babylon falls, commercial and financial markets of the world will collapse. People will lose their income and their religion in one hour. Merchants will be shocked when they realize that they have been deceived into financial ruin by Babylon. Music will stop since people will be sad, angry and depressed. Joy and happiness will disappear. The followers of Babylon will be destroyed and sent to hell. Let it be known that all throughout history Babylon has killed many prophets, holy apostles, and saints because they obeyed God rather than Babylon. God will avenge His persecuted saints and all heaven will rejoice.
