I was awakened this morning to the sound of a loud “thud” in the spirit. My initial thought was something had fallen and hit the ground, then the Holy Spirit said, before my eyes were even opened, “Babylon has fallen!”

Babylon has been a theme the Lord has been speaking to me since 2017. Over the past seven years the Lord has brought me back to this subject over and over again. When I started this journey around this mystery city, I had no idea what it was, what it was doing, or anything about it. But the Lord took me on a biblical tour, so now when He says “Babylon is fallen!” I know it is Revelation 18 and I know I am to decree what He is saying. So, again today, I decree “Babylon is fallen!”

Prophetic words are like time capsules, you speak them, they go into the atmosphere and then time elapses before them come to pass. Many people are weary of hearing prophetic words, for they say, “We have heard that before.” Maybe not out loud but in their hearts they are weary of another word about the changes coming, when nothing seems to change. But if God said it, we can hang on to it, for God is not a man that He should lie. And prophetic voices that are not profiting off of what God is saying, have nothing to gain or lose by only speaking what God is saying. So, I say it again, “Babylon has fallen!”

One final word of encouragement for you about prophetic declarations. Jesus said over 30 years in advance that the temple in Jerusalem would be destroyed. He declared it one day and over 30 years later it happened. Prophetic words are not instant oatmeal, they take time to come to pass, but prophetic words from God are seeds and they will produce the harvest they were sent forth to create. God said it, I believe it, now we wait to see it. “Babylon has fallen!!!!”
