THE PLAGUES OF THE
BABYLONIAN DOWNFALL

In
my previous article dated 10/26/2018 entitled Crimes Of The Babylon World
Order found at: https://freedomfromdelusion.blogspot.com/2018/10/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-x-none.html
The
discussion centered around the Federal Reserve System along with the hints and
several indications that Mr. Trump and his team of patriots intend to bring
down this central banking system that creates fiat money at their will, loans
it to the USA government, and charges the USG interest on every loan of created
money since its inception in 1913.
It
was also discussed that Mr. Trump and his team are manipulating and directing
the numbers and statistics of the economic picture to indicate that the economy
is performing and progressing upgrade at an unprecedented rate. However, the exact opposite is actually
happening. The economy has been
degrading since the days of Obama. In
fact, Obama greatly instigated the degradation with his enactment of restrictions,
penalties, so-called environmental protection policies, and executive orders
that restrained
and severely limited businesses and industries from making a decent
profit. This led many companies to leave
the USA and set up shop in foreign countries, mainly China where labor is
cheap.
Yes,
the USA economy is imploding and the elimination of the Federal Reserve will
cause it completely collapse to almost nothing.
The economies of other areas are also imploding such as: the European Union, South America, and China. The notable exception may be Russia which has
expanded their industrial and agricultural base along with avoiding the
petrol-dollar through bilateral trade deals and national currencies. Mr. Trump
has also negotiated several bi-lateral trades within the past few months.
It
should also be mentioned that the new Russia, after the breakup of the USSR, has,
for the most part, annulled their old atheistic communist thought patterns and
now openly embrace the once formerly neglected and abused Orthodox Christian
Church. On the other hand, China
continues to harass and mistreat the Christian groups and churches within their
borders and may find some tribulation issues prior to the beginning of the
Millennial Kingdom of God.
Babylon Has Fallen
Revelation 18:2 NET He
shouted with a powerful voice: "Fallen, fallen, is Babylon the great! She
has become a lair for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for
every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detested beast.
Verse
18:2 reveals that Babylon has fallen, is fallen, or will fall. The verse is prophetic and Babylon will
completely fall.
The
word “demons” or devils is a literal translation. Several people have reported recent demonic
activity in various places in the USA (not certain about other areas or
countries). Dr. Jones claims to have
been a part of removing demons from various individuals and that his group has
mounted prayer campaigns to rid several parts of the country from demonic
influences and activities. The numerous
types of demonic entities do not appear to the eye in a physical or shadow form
but they exert a certain amount of influence over world activities and people.
Unclean
spirit is literally, according to Greek dictionaries, an unclean breath (i.e.
spirit). A haunt (habitation) for every
foul or impure winged creature such as a bird.
A haunt for every
unclean and detested beast. This
last phrase in the NET version does not appear in all translation
versions. A note from the NET publishers
claims:
There are several problems in this verse. It seems
that according to the MS evidence the first two phrases (i.e., "and a
haunt for every unclean spirit, and a haunt for every unclean bird") are
to be regarded as authentic, though there are some MS discrepancies. The third
phrase ("a haunt for every unclean animal), however, is more problematic
since it is missing in several important MSS. The
passage as a whole, including the third phrase, seems to be an allusion to Isa_13:21. It seems reasonable, in
such a case, to assume that since there is good MS evidence to support the
third phrase (A 1611 2329 al), it probably dropped out of certain MSS
because of its similarity to the two preceding clauses. It is the presence of
all three phrases in the original that most likely gave rise to the divergent
MS evidence extant today.
The context of Isaiah
13:21 appears to describe the ancient Babylonian empire although it could have
a dual prophetic fulfillment in the modern Mystery Babylon. However, if it was primarily fulfilled at the
capture of the original Babylon, there doesn’t seem to be any evidence to
support that view, thus it may only be prophetic of the modern version.
The Plagues of the Fallen
Babylon
Revelation
18:8-11 NET For this reason, she will
experience her plagues in a single day: disease, mourning, and famine, and she
will be burned down with fire, because the Lord God who judges her is
powerful!"
(9) Then the kings of the
earth who committed immoral acts with her and lived in sensual luxury with her
will weep and wail for her when they see the smoke from the fire that burns her
up.
(10) They will stand a long
way off because they are afraid of her torment, and will say, "Woe, woe, O
great city, Babylon the powerful city! For in a single hour your doom has
come!"
(11) Then the merchants of the earth will weep
and mourn for her because no one buys their cargo any longer --
In
several instances, the Revelation refers to Mystery Babylon as a city as in
18:10. Over the years, several
commentators and Bible teachers have attempted to locate and identify a literal
city with the characteristics similar to the modern version of the Biblically
described Babylon such as: Rome;
Jerusalem; Mecca; New York City; and some obscure others. Some have written books describing the USA
and particularly New York City, as the Biblical Babylon, as if the USA is the
most corrupt and abominable country in the world.
Prophetic
scripture often uses the term “city” as a description for a large group of
corruption. The current version of this Mystery
Babylonian system is not an actual structural city but a metaphoric system with
the fiat usurious creation of money being the central aggregate. All other nefarious actions and systems such
as war, taxes, drugs, pornography, and assassinations are merely protection and
enrichment activities for the Babylonian world banking system.
Verse
18:8 states that she (i.e. Babylon) “will
experience her plagues in a single
day”. The word “plagues” (appearing in
many translations) literally translates, according to Thayer and the Word Study
Greek Dictionary, as: to strike, a stroke, stripe, blow, wound,
injury. Thus the plague will consist
of a strike that causes a mortal wound which will bring MB to an end.
Disease, Mourning, And
Famine: Disease literally means “death” which is
appropriate if many of the indicted are executed for treason as was John
McCain. Mourning literally means sorrow or grief. The word Famine
can refer to a lack of food but broadly implies destitution (i.e. extreme
poverty).
And she will be burned down
with fire, because the Lord God who judges her is powerful!" Fire can be actual combustion fire but in this instance,
it specifically refers to electrical lightening. The fire is implied symbolism and is most
likely referring to the fire of God. As
the “lake of fire” is the justice of God and not a literal Hell, this fire
should also be understood as the righteousness, judgment, just punishment, and total
correction administered always by God.
Exodus 20:18
KJV And
all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the
trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed,
and stood afar off.
A Literal Translation of Rev 18:8
For this reason, Mystery
Babylon will experience a mortal wound in a single day: some will be put to
death, many will grieve, and others will experience the destitution of poverty,
and she will be judged, punished, and corrected by the righteousness of God,
because the Lord God who judges her is all powerful!"
Verse
18:9: The powerful elites involved in
sex trafficking, pedophilia, and sodomy as a practice of idolatry, will
silently scream and cry to themselves.
These elites have lived a life of abundant luxury as the vast majority
have lived in poverty or simi-poverty.
The judgment of the “fire of God” will only leave a ghost image of their
previous lifestyle.
Literal 18:9
And the self-proclaimed elites
formally having much power, the ones who practiced human slavery and perverted
immoral sex acts and lived in luxury will silently scream and cry when they see
the destruction of their former lofty wealthy life be taken down by the
righteous judgment of God. They will
only see a shadow of what they once were like wispy smoke.
Verse
18:10: After the world’s economy
implodes; the Federal Reserve and all central and international banks are dissolved;
and the indictments are opened resulting in the removal of illegally gained
wealth, many prison sentences; and the execution of traitors and those accused
of treason against the nation – it could be envisioned that leftists, liberals,
Hollywood anti-Trumpers, many MSM fake newscasters, and various others will recede
into the background and attempt to remain unnoticed or hidden. It is not certain if “one hour” is literally
accurate, but it appears this entire takedown will occur in a short period of
time.
Verse
18:11: The word “merchant” refers to a trader,
or one who trades with foreign countries by sea or land on a large scale, that
is a wholesale dealer as opposed to a retailer (i.e. a businessperson who
trades in commodities produced by others).
The collapse of the world’s economy, which will be accelerated by the
elimination of central banks, will place many or all of the large scale
worldwide import-export companies out of business or severely downgraded. The
majority of the population will be concerned with survival and will not be able
to buy their merchandise.
Merchandise
or Cargo
Revelation 18:12-13
NET (12) cargo such as gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen,
purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all sorts of things made of citron wood, all
sorts of objects made of ivory, all sorts of things made of expensive wood,
bronze, iron and marble,
(13) cinnamon, spice,
incense, perfumed ointment, frankincense, wine, olive oil and costly flour,
wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and four-wheeled carriages, slaves and human
lives.
Verses
12 and 13 have presented a problem of understanding for several literal
understanding, a future 7 year tribulation period, an “Israel will control the
world”, commentators and Bible teachers.
Chris White claims the costly items represent raw material for the
clothing and utensils within a speculative rebuilt Jewish temple. Other commentators claim the list represents
clothing and artifacts within a Catholic Church i.e. the Vatican.
However,
it must be understand this document was written during the 1st century
AD. Thus, the list most likely
represents costly items only purchased by the wealthy and not everyday items
purchased by middle class or lower class individuals, although the middle class
seems to be disappearing.
Human Trafficking
The
most interesting and thought provoking items within the merchandise list are
slaves and human lives (translated as “souls of men” in the KJV) (literally a breath
i.e. spirit). There are several shades
of translations and interpretations but slaves and human lives will suffice for
this article.
It
has been written that human trafficking is a big business operation in many
parts of the world, with buyers being particularly located within the USA,
Europe, Canada, and Australia. It has
also been stated that Saudi Arabia has been a primary provider for these
various types of slaves. X-22 reported
that the main reason for the Khashoggi event was to provoke Mr. Trump to place
sanctions on Saudi Arabia so hopefully the old human trafficking regime could return
to power. Recall, that recently most of
the old SA regime including many princes were either executed, relieved of
their wealth, and forfeited their power, or some or all of the above. However, Mr. Trump and his team were aware of
this information in advance of the assassination and did not fall into the
trap. It appeared to happen after Jared
Kushner’s visit.
Human
trafficking includes: work slaves;
domestic slaves; sex slaves; children for pedophilia purposes; satanic
sacrifices (mostly children); and hidden medical experiments. Young children are required for sacrificial purposes
supposedly because their adrenalin energized blood is consumed by the
attendants for increased satanic power.
Revelation
18:21 NET Then one powerful angel
picked up a stone like a huge millstone, threw it into the sea, and said,
"With this kind of sudden violent force Babylon the great city will be
thrown down and it will never be found again!
like a huge millstone Perhaps a future promise to pedophiles and
abortionists.
Matthew
18:6 KJV But whoso
shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for
him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in
the depth of the sea.
Verse
18:21 is a promise from God, through an angel, that the Babylonian beast system
will never occur again in the future.
This current age will be followed by the Millennial Kingdom of God.
Revelation 18:24 NET The
blood of the saints and prophets was found in her, along with the blood of all
those who had been killed on the earth."
Verse
18:24 tells us that the practices of: the
pursuit of wealth and pleasure; wars for material gain; perverted sex
practices; usury; and other atrocities represent idolatry because they are
inherently devices used to replace the Lord God with false gods. The proper understanding of this verse is
that idolatry, in all of its various forms, is answerable for the killing of
saints, prophets, all who were murdered, and all soldiers, extras, and foreign
populations who died in Babylon’s endless unnecessary wars.
