BOOK REVIEW – The Hour that Changes Everything

“…And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.  The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.  And on her forehead a name was written:  MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS…” (Rev. 17: 3-5).

Richard “Rick” Pearson, founder of Richard Pearson Ministries, in his book The Hour that Changes Everything explores America’s place in Bible prophecy [1].

Claiming a personal revelation and citing extensively from Scripture, Pearson argues compellingly that America is actually Babylon the Great a/k/a Mystery Babylon or the Whore of Babylon [2].

For those unfamiliar with end times prophecy, Babylon is a symbolic female figure in the Bible traditionally interpreted as referring to a commercial center from which the Antichrist reigns during the last days and/or the religious system under him [3][4][5].

Pearson does not disagree that Babylon refers to a false religious system.  However, he believes there is a further meaning, and makes the case using 53 specific Bible verses about Babylon.

Pearson contends that it is America, greatly blessed by God (Deut. 28: 1-14), which is holding back the New World Order (Rev. 17: 12, 16-17).  However, at the appointed hour, the saints approved by God will be raptured (1 Thess. 4: 16-17) and the nation destroyed for its sins (Deut. 28: 15-45).

I highly recommend The Hour that Changes Everything, both to believers and non-believers.  The Hour is available from Amazon and other booksellers.
