Blog note. I have posted many previous blogs and third-party written articles about the rise of NEOM (Babylon) in Saudi Arabia. NEOM was specifically mentioned in this particular article, as it was alluded to since it is part of Bin Salman’s Vision 2030 plan to modernize Saudi Arabia. If you have not read any of my previous blogs or articles, NEOM is the world’s largest planned city (in terms of square miles or kilometers) in a corner of the country flanked by the Sea of Aqaba and the Red Sed. This visionary city or Babylon-in-the-desert is so grand in planned design that it can’t be described in just one article. Hence, I have included a detailed analysis in previous, sequential blogs. You can research this development yourself. The “great city” as described in the Bible’s book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ receives a very large portion of prophetic / eschatological attention. NEOM, in Saudi Arabia, meets every description of Babylon described in Revelation. It has seven mountains, it will accept all religions of the world, it has extreme wealth and technology, it is a world class city that will attract all nations, tribes, tongues, nationalities, it will feature a “delicious” lifestyle based on extremely attractive living conditions and wealth. Any reference to Jesus Christ is completely missing or absent. Proselytizing (attempts to convert someone from one religion to another) is strictly prohibited. The businessmen who trade with and help build NEOM will become fabulously wealthy. The world’s largest sovereign wealth/investment fund is being established ($2 Trillion) to fund NEOM’s launch and growth.  As previously stated, there is a wealth of evidence to support the startup and growth of NEOM as being the “fabled” city of the future as described in Revelation. When is all this supposed to start? Bin Salman has gone on record indicating 2020. That is a short sixteen (16) months away. If you have read some of my recent blogs, you will quickly recall that there are several other “ominous” events planned to be enforced worldwide in 2020 that coincide with the establishment of NEOM in Saudi Arabia. Babylon is NEOM, not Rome, not Vatican City, not Mecca. End of note.

Saudi prince vows ‘totally different’ country in five years

AFP. October 24, 2018

Riyadh (AFP) – Saudi Arabia’s powerful crown prince said Wednesday his country would be “totally different” within five years, vowing to pursue sweeping reforms to diversify its economy away from oil.”I believe the new Europe is the Middle East,” Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told a major investment forum in Riyadh.

“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in five years will be completely different.”

Prince Mohammed has been the driving force behind Riyadh’s Vision 2030 plan for economic and social reforms, including ambitious projects such as futuristic mega-cities, as Riyadh prepares for a post-oil era. “If we succeed in the coming five years, other countries will join us,” he said. He was speaking at the three-day Future Investment Initiative forum, which went ahead despite mass cancellations from global business leaders following the murder of dissident Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey.

Further stoking investor anxiety, the kingdom is embroiled in a costly war in Yemen and is leading an embargo against Qatar. But, the crown prince said, “even Qatar, despite our differences with it, has a strong economy and it will be completely different in five years.” He said his country had already taken “very big steps” to develop its own economy. “The numbers speak for themselves,” he said. “Our non-oil revenues have almost tripled.”
