Revelation 18:11-14

11  And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

12  The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,

13  And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

14  And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

All these products lead many to speculate that Babylon is some city or country other than Babylon, Iraq. Although Babylon, Iraq today is not near fulfilling this prophecy, things there could change quickly if the god of this world sets up his throne and his “Kingdom of God” from that location. He will demand tributes and taxes from the whole world. Babylon will then become a  city of gold  and luxury in very short order.

Isaiah 14:4  That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased!  the  golden city  ceased!

These passages may also find some fulfillment in the destruction of the world economic system that under the administration of Satan corrupted the world through the lust of the eyes.
