The Fall of Babylon
With Joe Biden and his crew, now in control of America, it appears that
many people are not highly interested in scriptural events and articles. That may sound reasonable but do not give up
hope. There is no seven-year tribulation
period, as some claim, but that doesn’t mean a certain amount of tribulation is
not possible. Not only is it possible
but highly probable and in America, at least, we are viewing some of that.
As Dr. Jones has claimed, on several occasions, the final world empire
named Babylon, although a mystery among the majority of inhabitants, is not a
mystery among fellow believers of Jesus Christ.
We are all disappointed to some degree but the end of the Christian
world is not here quite yet.
The Church, i.e. people not a building, is rapidly declining with
multiple ungodly teachings and reports being issued every day. The US Congress is now attempting to pass a
bill that would make teaching the gospel a crime. The US Democrats despise Christianity even
though the majority have not quite admitted it.
The Covid pandemic, whether true or not, has decimated most church
congregations and caused others to fail.
A few pastors, in Canada and the USA, have recently been arrested for
preaching the Bible.
Fewer
churches hold in-person services now than did end of last summer, and
attendance is way down for those that are open
In the USA, the rightful worshippers have disappeared in great numbers,
mostly due to the corrupt teaching in the churches. Based on a certain amount of information, the
committed church worshippers, other than some Catholics, have almost completely
quit the scene in Europe (this may not be totally true).
Let’s now take a look at what scripture says about the fall of Babylon.
REVELATION 18:2 And he
cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is
fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul
spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Revelation 17:1 describes Babylon as a “great whore” that sits upon
many waters. Being described as a
protestant, it is easy to claim that Babylon is the Catholic church but, for
now, we will claim that it is indeed.
Mainly due to the fact that the Catholic church is so widespread
throughout that world. It is also the
“beast from the sea” as indicated by Revelation 13 and it is financially
supported (or controlled) by the “beast from the earth” (the Rothschild
controlled international banking system) also indicated by Revelation 13.
The protestant churches in the USA appear to be mostly interested in
building large structures and having various activities. It is not believed that all of them together
have the financial authority to change government attitudes. Some of them definitely have become the
habitation of devils, foul spirits, and unclean birds. It could also be said that the Catholic
church has claimed that habitation for quite a while. It has been maintained that Rome sits on
seven mountains and Revelation 17:9 states the WOMAN also sits there.
It has already been reported by Dr. Stephen Jones that the time period of
actual power for Mystery, Babylon has already expired and now it is only a
matter of time (hopefully a short time) prior to the complete destruction
of Babylon and the true rise of the Millennial kingdom of God.
This prostitute (i.e. the Vatican and the international banking system)
have committed many abominations with the corporate leaders, rulers,
and administrators of large companies, and countries.
As
a side note the definition of “abomination” includes outrage, scandal,
atrocity, horror, repugnance, loathing, revulsion, abhorrence, and disgust
(along with several other words).
As a result of these abominations or
“revulsions” the people of earth have been intoxicated or completely under the
influence of their offerings (not all, but most).
Revelation 17:2 With whom the kings of the earth
have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made
drunk with the wine of her fornication.
At this point John is spiritually taken into the “wilderness” which is
not an actual place but one presenting spiritual understanding. Here he sees the woman (or prostitute)
sitting on a scarlet colored beast. This
beast is full of blasphemous (ungodly, profane) names with seven heads
and ten horns. According to the angel,
this beast comes up from the sea, thus it is the little horn of Daniel which is
a religious entity or the papacy. 17-8
says the beast from the bottomless pit (or abyss) which means the deep sea.
As stated earlier, the seven heads are seven mountains, on which the
woman sits. Rome or the Vatican is said
to sit on seven mountains. 17:8 relates
the events in 1796, during the French Revolutionary Wars, French troops under Napoleon
Bonaparte invaded Rome and captured Pope Pius VI, taking him as a
prisoner to France, where he died in 1799.
There was no Pope during a short period until Napoleon requested one to
grant him emperor status over the French empire.
In addition to
the literal mountains of Rome the mountains also represent kings or kingdoms.
According to Dr. Jones the seven hills spiritually represent seven forms
of government in the history of Rome:
Kings, Consuls, Dictators, Decemvirs, Military Tribunes, Military
Emperors, and Christian Emperors. (My
historical expertise is somewhat limited so we will simply believe Dr. Jones is
correct.)
The mountains
also represent seven “kings”. The angel
claims that “five have fallen” which makes this a first century
declaration. Thus the first five forms
of the Roman government had already fallen and had been replaced by the sixth
form of “military emperors”. This
occurred after the death of Nero in 68 AD.
Several generals attempted to take the throne. Finally Vespasian (fighting the Jews in
Judea) decided he should have the crown and left his son, Titus, in Jerusalem,
while he went to Rome and secured the throne.
The rest you should already know.
The seventh form
of Christian emperors did not begin until Constantine in 310 AD. The term “a short space” or “a little
while” in verse 10 does not necessarily mean a few days.
Of course the
pope who died in prison was the seventh and later became the eighth, although
not the same person but with the same title of Pope. The seventh beast could be considered a
double beast. He was the seventh and
then became the eighth.
Verse 11 claims that the beast with the reclaimed pope as the head goes
into perdition (apoleia, destruction).
It generally means “lost” or off the normal path of the beast. The religious beast from the sea is a
so-called disciple and friend of Jesus who betrays Him at the end of this age
just as did Judas to Jesus Christ.
Those who usurped the throne after Christ’s first appearance in the
first century were not content with the throne, but desired also the birthright
of Joseph and the name Israel, which was the mark of the birthright. Despite protests from the UN the subduers of
the Judean land termed their country “Israel” in 1948.
The descendants of the real Judahites became the Esau people who were
forced to claim Judaism during the Maccabean period. Due to the scheming of Jacob with Esau to get
both birthright titles, it resulted in God giving the Esau people a chance at correctly
governing the land until they proved being unable to do so.
At the end of the age, the religious beast, as a corporate entity,
betrays Jesus and thus “goes to perdition” or destruction in a similar manner
as did Judas. Those claiming that Israel
is composed of true Israelites will participate in the betrayal. This statement may appear cold but if you
claim that Israel is truly populated of the original 12 tribes there may be
betrayal in your accusation.
Daniel’s “little horn” waged war against the saints for “a time, times,
and half a time” or 1260 years. This came
to fruition at the French Revolution or 1260 years after Justinian changed
times and laws in 529-534 AD. After the
French Revolution and the death of the “little horn” the pope was reinstated
and came into an alliance with the 2nd beast known as the beast from
the earth. Daniel was not shown this
part of the prophecy, thus John, in many respects, is a continuation of Daniel.
Revelation 17:12-13 says the ten horns represent 10 kingdoms. When John received this revelation in 96 AD
the kings or kingdoms had not arisen.
There were 10 semi-nations of ethnic groups controlled by the Roman
Empire: Bavarians, Franks, Bergundians,
Alemanni, Suevi, Visigoths, Alans, Vandals, Ostrogoths, and Heruli (who merged
with the Lombards). Daniel mentioned a
fourth beast with ten horns but a little horn emerged and pulled out by the
roots three of the ten horns being: the
Heruli, the Vandals, and the Ostrogoths.
(Again thanks to Dr. Jones for this information)
The papal war against the Lamb or the body of Christians on earth. Revelation 17:15 demonstrates the prostitute
holds dominion over many people and nations.
Almost every person on the planet knows of the Pope. However, whether they heed or not the
language of the Vatican, the power of the second beast, i.e. the international
banking system, essentially governs the entire world.
Revelation chapter 18 proclaims that Babylon has fallen but it gives
many details of Babylon’s inter-workings.
Verses 11 through 13 discuss the many items traded around the world by
the global Babylon. A few of the items
do not appear reasonable at the present time such as frankincense and thyine
wood (a citrus wood) and most appear to be costly. The item that caught my eye is the slaves and
souls of men (people) within verse 13, which appears to be a connection to
human trafficking.
All in all – Joe Biden and his crew are apparently necessary from God’s
point of view. Do not lose faith. God is always completely in control.
