Simply amazing! After researching the historical connections
between the occult, secret societies, and Biblical prophecy with
intensity for five years, I must say there is hardly a need to study
further. Rob Skiba’s Babylon Rising: And The First Shall Be Last
weaves together an outstanding tapestry from so many tangled,
hidden threads in clear and accessible terms. If you have ever been
curious about the spiritual foundations of our current place in history,
economics, politics, science, and prophecy, you have found the right
book. It will renew your faith in spite of all the evil that it uncovers,
which is the highest compliment that can be given.

Rob Skiba has hit a home run for the LORD and for His Church with
Babylon Rising: And The First Shall Be Last. Skiba has masterfully
connected a compendium of conspiracy dots from disparate places
and across centuries of time, and he’s gathered them into a highly
readable prophecy primer, fit for beginning students and seasoned
scholars alike. If the world of symbols and signs confuses you, make
this your starting place, dear friend. Babylon Rising is a must-read and
belongs on every Bible student’s shelf.

Rob Skiba has answered questions historians, theologians and
scientists never thought to ask. From the first chapter onward, this
book is written as a researchable text designed thoughtfully as a
study guide for the intellectual explorer. Be prepared to have your
understanding of the ancient world shaken and to be immersed in
scriptural and historical facts that until now have been absent from
any discussion.

Blown Away! The information in Rob Skiba’s book, Babylon Rising:
And The First Shall Be Last should be MANDATORY READING for
this generation! The insights he provides concerning possible future
events are nothing short of prophetic and if true, are of extreme
significance and importance to Americans, who very well could be the
agents through which those events unfold. He has given me much to
think (and pray) about. I am thankful for this great work and I hope it
touches millions.
— Patrick Dougher
TV talk show host and professional keynote speaker
Rob Skiba opens your eyes about Bible prophecy and America’s
association with occult symbolism like few others. I believe God has
given him a unique view of our future, revealing some plausible events
that very well could play out in these Last Days. With an in-depth look at
ancient history, the Bible, current events and Hebrew word meanings,
Rob brings a tremendous amount of insight from the Scriptures that
could prove to be very relevant in the days ahead. Additionally, and
perhaps most importantly, he reveals how the ancient gods —from
what we thought was just mythology — are still being worshiped right
before our very eyes, and poses the fascinating suggestion that they
may be coming back... soon.
— Barry Meyer
Host of End Time Talk Radio
Rob Skiba has done his homework and presents an easy-to-read
scripturally based alternative to the mainstream line of thinking.
Babylon Rising: And The First Shall Be Last is a must own for any
Christian looking for a fresh take on Bible prophecy. Very well done.
