Isaiah 13 and 14: Babylon Near and Far, Part 1 :: By Mark A. Becker

Introduction According to my calculations, research, and Scripture studies, there are four Babel/Babylons mentioned in the Scriptures. The first is Nimrod’s Babel which is of an unknown location.

Daniel 11:36-45: Antichrist’s Last Adversary :: By Mark A. Becker

Daniel 11 is one intense and action-packed chapter.
