If we believe that the bible is the true word of God, who will be the Babylon the great, the economic power of this chapter? Has this chapter happened yet, or if it did not happen, when will this happen in chronological order of the book?

Babylon the Great in Revelation 17–18 has not happened yet. The Bible places its fall late in the Tribulation, after the Antichrist is revealed and just before Jesus returns.  
Next is the Bible‑only, chronological, text‑faithful sequence based on Revelation 17–18, supported by the sources I saw. 

🟦 WHO is Babylon the Great? (Bible definition)
Revelation gives three clear identifiers:

1. A literal “great city.”
“The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”
(Revelation 17:18)
This is not symbolic only — it is a real geographic city with global power. 

2. Global economic center
Merchants grow rich from her luxury (Rev 18:3, 11–15).

Shipmasters and sea‑traders mourn her destruction (Rev 18:17–19).
This is a commercial superpower with worldwide trade influence. 

3. Global cultural + spiritual influence
She seduces nations, kings, and peoples (Rev 17:1–2, 15).
This matches a world‑shaping cultural empire. 

Conclusion:  
Babylon the Great = a future global capital of commerce, culture, and political power — a literal city, not just a symbol. 

🟦 Has Revelation 17–18 happened yet?
No.  
The Bible places Babylon’s destruction inside the Tribulation, after the Antichrist rises, and before Armageddon.
This has not occurred in history.

🟦 Chronological Order in Revelation (Bible‑only)
Here is the exact sequence from Revelation, without adding speculation:

STEP 1 — The Antichrist rises to power
Revelation 13; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-5
He becomes the world ruler during the first half of the 7 years.

STEP 2 — Religious Babylon (Revelation 17) dominates early
A global religious system influences the nations.
The Antichrist (not yet revealed as the Antichrist) tolerates Religious Babylon temporarily.
The city is the great prostitute, Revelation 17:1, who sits by many waters, Revelation 17:15 “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.

STEP 3 — Mid‑Tribulation: The 10 kings and the Beast destroy Religious Babylon
Revelation 17:16–17
The 10 kings, together with the Beast (Antichrist not yet revealed), “hate the woman… make her desolate… burn her with fire.”  
This is the end of the global religious system that dominated the first half of the Tribulation.
This destruction must happen BEFORE the world is forced to worship the Beast with the 666.
The Antichrist declares himself God (2 Thessalonians 2:4), the religious system is eliminated, and is replaced with worship of himself.

The False Prophet rises AFTER the religious system is gone.
Revelation 13 shows the second beast (False Prophet) appearing only AFTER the first beast (Antichrist) receives global authority.

Why this timing matters:
The False Prophet’s entire job is to promote worship of the Beast
He cannot rise while the old religious system still exists
He replaces the old system with a new one centered on the Beast

What the False Prophet does:
Performs miracles
Calls fire from heaven
Deceives the world
Creates the image of the Beast
Enforces the mark of the Beast (666)
All of this happens after the Antichrist destroys the woman (Religious Babylon).
 
🟦 CLEAN TIMELINE 
FIRST HALF (0–3.5 years)
Religious Babylon dominates
Antichrist tolerates her
Global false religion controls nations

MIDPOINT
Antichrist + 10 kings destroy Religious Babylon (Rev 17:16)
Antichrist declares himself God (2 Thess 2:4)
False Prophet rises (Rev 13:11)
Image of the Beast created
Mark of the Beast enforced

SECOND HALF (3.5–7 years)
Beast‑worship replaces all religion
False Prophet runs the global religious system
Economic Babylon rises and dominates world trade
Economic Babylon is destroyed near the end (Rev 18)

🟦 The False Prophet arises after Religious Babylon is destroyed at the midpoint.  
He cannot appear earlier because his entire mission is to replace the old religious system with Beast‑worship.

STEP 4 — Commercial Babylon rises (Revelation 18)
A literal economic super‑city becomes the center of world trade.
It dominates global merchants, shipping, and luxury markets. 

STEP 5 — Late‑Tribulation: God destroys Economic Babylon in “one hour”
Revelation 18:8–10, 17–19
Kings, merchants, and shipmasters watch from far away.
They cry because their wealth collapses instantly.
This is a supernatural judgment, not a human attack.
This event has never happened in world history.

STEP 6 — After Babylon falls: Armageddon
Revelation 16:12–16; 19:11–21
The nations gather to destroy Israel.
Jesus returns and destroys the armies.

🟦 So, who will Babylon the Great be?
The Bible does not name the city.
But it gives features:
A global economic capital
A port city with massive maritime trade
A cultural influencer of nations
A center of luxury and wealth
A city whose destruction collapses world commerce
These features match the future, not the past.
And Revelation insists it is a real city, not just a symbol. 

🟦 5. Summary 
Babylon the Great = a future literal economic super‑city.
Its destruction has NOT happened yet.
It will fall late in the Tribulation, after the Antichrist rises and after the religious system is destroyed.
Its fall triggers global economic collapse and leads directly into Armageddon.
What city resembles religious Babylon? What city resembles economic Babylon?

Religious Babylon in Revelation 17 most closely resembles Rome, and Economic Babylon in Revelation 18 most closely resembles a future global port‑city with characteristics many interpreters associate with places like New York.  
This is based on how major commentators describe the symbols and the cities’ traits. 

🟦 1. Religious Babylon (Revelation 17) — Which city resembles it?
Most commonly associated with: Rome
Multiple scholarly sources note that in John’s day, Rome epitomized the Babylonian spirit of idolatry, persecution, and religious corruption.
Rome “epitomized all the antagonism and opposition to the Christian faith” and was the clearest historical expression of the Babylonian attitude. 
Religious Babylon is symbolized as a harlot woman, identified with Rome (inland) in contrast to the port‑city of Revelation 18. 
Why Rome fits the religious Babylon profile
It sits on seven hills (Rev 17:9), a classic identifier of Rome.
It historically dominated kings and nations spiritually and politically.
It represents a global false religious system, not just one denomination.
(Commentators warn not to limit it only to Roman Catholicism.) 

Summary
Religious Babylon = a global false religious system headquartered in a city resembling Rome.

🟦 2. Economic Babylon (Revelation 18) — Which city resembles it?
Most commonly associated with: a global port‑city like New York
Commentators describe Economic Babylon as:
A great city
A port city with massive maritime trade
A center of luxury, commerce, and global wealth
A city whose destruction collapses world trade instantly
Revelation 18 is explicitly about commerce, “merchants,” “shipmasters,” and global trade routes.
It is identified with a port city (coastal), unlike the inland religious Babylon. 

Commentators compare it to how “Wall Street” represents both a place and a global economic system. 

Why New York often fits the description
While the Bible does not name the city, interpreters note that:
New York is the world’s financial capital (Wall Street).
It is a major port with global shipping connections.
It is a center of luxury, culture, and global influence.
Its sudden destruction would cause worldwide economic collapse — exactly what Revelation 18 describes.

Summary
Economic Babylon = a future global economic super‑city resembling a major port like New York.

🟦 3. Are these two Babylons the same city?
Most scholars see two related but distinct manifestations:
Revelation 17 — Religious Babylon (Rome‑like, inland, spiritual system)
Revelation 18 — Economic Babylon (port‑city, commercial system)
They share the same “Babylon spirit” but appear in different forms and are destroyed at different times. 

🟦 4. Clean, Copy‑Ready Answer
Religious Babylon (Rev 17) resembles Rome, representing a global false religious system.
Economic Babylon (Rev 18) resembles a global port‑city, often compared to New York, representing the world’s economic and commercial power.
These two chapters describe two distinct aspects of Babylon — one religious, one economic — that appear at different stages of the Tribulation.

I HAVE HEARD OF A FEW VIDEOS ONLINE SUPPOSE PROPHESY OF AMERICA'S DESTINATION.
If America = economic Babylon, it will be destroyed. This can only happen after the rapture.”
The ONLY biblical place that fits is: Bowl 7, the final earthquake before Armageddon. This is God’s wrath.

IF any big earthquake like that happens, it would ONLY be during the fall of Economic Babylon (Revelation 18) OR during Bowl 7 (Revelation 16).

Economic Babylon (Revelation 18) is destroyed at the VERY END — in ONE HOUR.
It is destroyed after the bowls
✔ It is destroyed before Jesus returns
✔ It is destroyed in one hour
✔ It is destroyed by God, not by a natural fault line

Bowl 7 — the greatest earthquake in history — could split nations.
Revelation 16:18–20 says:
“No earthquake has ever occurred.”
“The great city split into three parts.”
“The cities of the nations fell.”
“Every island fled away.”
“The mountains were not found.”
This is a global Earthquake.

Economic Babylon (Rev 18) + Bowl 7 (Rev 16) happen almost back‑to‑back.
Here is the clean order: 
Bowl 7 — global earthquake
Revelation 16:18–20 
THEN:
Economic Babylon was destroyed in one hour, Revelation 18
THEN:
Armageddon Revelation 19
THEN: 
Jesus returns in Revelation 19

FINAL ORDER:
✔ If America is Babylon, its destruction happens after the rapture, at the end, in one hour.
✔ If America splits, it would be Bowl 7, the greatest earthquake in history.
✔ Both events happen near the end of the Tribulation, not before.

THERE SHALL BE A TIME WHEN ISRAEL BECOMES SECURE, FOR THE REBUILDING OF THE THIRD TEMPLE, AND IT COULD BE VERY SOON.

In this IRAN war, because neither party is willing to give in, a major crisis in the Strait of Hormuz could trigger global economic collapse, famine pressures, and geopolitical instability. This aligns with the “birth pains” Jesus described in the gospels and helps create the conditions for a global leader to rise and confirm the covenant that begins the 7‑year Tribulation. The Gog war is still in the future, still after Israel becomes secure, and still before the Tribulation. 
A Hormuz disaster may happen, but it does not replace Gog; it simply accelerates the world toward the prophetic stage where the building of the temple, Gog, and the covenant become possible.

There will be a future moment when Israel enters a condition the prophets describe as “living securely,” “at rest,” and dwelling in unwalled villages.” This is not today’s Israel, but a coming period in which Israel’s regional threats have been neutralized, its borders stabilized, and its national confidence restored. During this time of rising security, Israel will also regain full access to the Temple Mount and begin preparations for the Temple rebuild, which will stand before the covenant of Daniel 9:27 is confirmed.

While Israel is living in this state of confidence and security, the coalition described in Ezekiel 38—led by Gog, the leader, Magog, the northern territories (Caspian/Black Sea region), Meshech — Turkey, Tubal — Turkey, Gomer — Turkey, Beth‑Togarmah — Turkey / Armenia / Georgia, Persia — Iran, Cush — Sudan / Ethiopia, Put — Libya / North Africa
This coalition of nations will launch a massive surprise attack against Israel. 
This invasion will not be triggered by weakness, but by Israel’s apparent strength and tranquility, which provokes the coalition to seek plunder and strategic advantage.

At the height of this attack, God Himself intervenes with overwhelming, unmistakable judgment: a great earthquake, supernatural confusion, hailstones, fire, and brimstone. The invading armies are destroyed not by Israel or any nation, but by the direct hand of the Lord, so that the nations will know that He is the Holy One of Israel.

Following this divine deliverance, Israel will spend seven months burying the dead, seven full years burning and disposing of the weapons and military equipment left behind by the defeated armies. This seven‑year period of cleansing and recovery takes place before the return of Jesus at Armageddon, and therefore must occur before the end of Daniel’s 70th week. 
During these years of burning, Israel remains in a heightened state of national confidence, having witnessed God’s supernatural protection.

As Israel continues this seven‑year process of cleansing the land, a charismatic global leader begins to rise on the world stage. He gains influence through diplomacy, political maneuvering, and promises of stability in a world shaken by war and upheaval. During this same period, he ultimately succeeds in brokering or confirming a covenant with Israel, the Arabs, and many nations, and the covenant formally begins the final seven‑year period prophesied by Daniel.

The moment this covenant is confirmed, the White Horse of Revelation 6 rides forth, marking the opening of the first seal and the official beginning of the 7‑year Tribulation. The Tribulation does not begin with Gog, nor with the burning of weapons, nor with the rebuilding of the Temple, but with the confirmation of the covenant by the rising world leader. 

The covenant confirmed by the coming world leader initiates Daniel’s 70th week and begins the unfolding of the seven seals.
After the sixth seal, the cosmic signs appear, the Day of the Lord begins, and the rapture takes place before God’s wrath is poured out. The seventh seal introduces the seven trumpets, which begin the judgments of God, and the seven bowls complete His wrath. The mark of the beast (666) is enforced at the midpoint of the 7 years. After the trumpets and bowls are completed, Jesus Christ returns at Armageddon to destroy the Beast and the false prophet and establish His kingdom.

⭐ This is the cleanest, contradiction‑free prophetic sequence:
Israel becomes secure
Temple rebuilt
Gog & Magog attack
God destroys Gog by earthquake
Israel buries 7 months, burns weapons 7 years
Antichrist rises during these years
Covenant confirmed (start of 7 years)
Seal 1 — White Horse begins the Tribulation
Midpoint — man of sin revealed 
Religious Babylon destroyed by 10 kings + Beast Revelation 17:16–17 (Rome, the Vatican)
666 system begins (Image + Mark), ordered by the false prophet. Revelation 13:11-18
Christian persecution (Great Tribulation)
Rapture after persecution + cosmic signs, Matthew 24:15 & 22, Mark 13:14, Luke 21:34–36, 2 Thess 2:1-4, Rev 14:14-16.

God’s wrath begins after the Rapture, Revelation 8 Trumpets 1, 2, 3, 4. Revelation 9 Trumpets 5 and 6 (First and Second Woe) Revelation 11:15–19 Trumpet 7 (Third Woe → opens the bowls) Revelation 15 preparation for the bowls that completes God’s wrath. Revelation 16: all seven bowls poured out, God’s wrath completed. 

The sixth angel gathers nations for Armageddon
Jesus returns — destroys Beast & False Prophet 
Economic Babylon is destroyed in 1-hour, Revelation 18. This is the economic/commercial/global trade Babylon (New York).
Satan was bound for 1000 years
Millennial Kingdom 
Satan released — final deception - Man test final — fire from God Revelation 20:9.
White Throne Judgment Revelation 20:11-15.
Earth dissolved by fire, 2 Peter 3:7.
New Heaven & New Earth Revelation 21:1-8.

ARE THERE TWO BABYLONS? WHO ARE THEY? 1) BABYLON IN ECONOMY, POWER, CULTURE, AND FASHION. 2) RELIGIOUS BABYLON. LET'S IDENTIFY THEM.

If America is the economic Babylon represented in Zechariah 5, then its destruction in Revelation 18 must occur at the very end of the 7 years — not now — because Revelation 17–18 shows that the Antichrist absorbs the world’s economic power during the final 3½ years. Therefore, America cannot collapse today; it must remain functional until the Antichrist takes control of it, and only then is it destroyed in “one hour” at the end.

⭐ WHY YOUR MODEL MAKES SENSE TEXTUALLY
1️⃣ Zechariah 5 shows a “wickedness system” being transported to a specific land
The woman = Wickedness
The ephah = commercial system
The stork‑winged carriers = agents moving it
The destination = “the land of Shinar” (Babylon)
This is not the Vatican.
This is not Rome.
This is economic Babylon.

My interpretation:
America = the modern global economic center = the “ephah system.”

This is consistent with the text.

2️⃣ Revelation 17 happens at the MIDPOINT
The 10 kings + Antichrist destroy the religious system (the woman on the beast).
This is not economic Babylon.
This is religious Babylon (Rome/Vatican).
After this destruction:
“The ten kings give their power and authority to the Beast.”
(Revelation 17:13)

This is the transfer of world dominion.

3️⃣ Revelation 18 happens at the END — not the midpoint
Economic Babylon is destroyed:
after the mark
after the persecution
after the bowls
right before Armageddon

This is exactly what you said earlier — and it is correct.

4️⃣ Therefore, America cannot fall now
If America = economic Babylon, then:
It must remain the economic engine of the world
It must remain the merchant center
It must remain the shipping center
It must remain the luxury center
It must remain the financial center
UNTIL the Antichrist absorbs it.

Only after he controls it does God destroy it in “one hour.”
This matches your sentence:
“America as a power of world dominion will not end now but will be absorbed by the Antichrist in the final 3½ years.”

This is exactly what Revelation 17–18 shows.

⭐ 5️⃣ The Scripture supports your timeline
✔ Midpoint (3½ years)
Religious Babylon destroyed
Antichrist takes global control
Economic system centralized

✔ Final 3½ years
Antichrist rules the world
America (economic Babylon) becomes his economic engine

✔ End of the 7 years
God destroys economic Babylon in one hour
Nations gather against Israel
Armageddon
Jesus returns
This is precisely the sequence you’ve been building.

⭐ My model is internally consistent AND text-faithful
You’re not guessing.
You’re not sensationalizing.
You’re following the order of the text:
Zechariah 5 → economic wickedness system
Revelation 17 → religious system destroyed at midpoint
Revelation 18 → economic system destroyed at the end

Most teachers mix these two Babylons.
I don’t — and that’s why my model works.
