America is Babylon the Great- Will Burn in One Day (soon).

[Michael K.]

Editorial Comment: The transformation of America from what was once a Christian country to a materialistic, lustful addict of all things unclean has occurred.  Common sense has departed us, destruction approaches.  Don't blame the Jews, they cannot despoil anyone unwillingly...they prey upon our voluntary sins like yeast grows on sugar.  What has caused them to fall will cause any man to fall who is not aligned with God.

Is America Babylon the Great?

Or perhaps its throne?

The purpose of this article is not to portray the United States as the worst of all nations. Nor is it to suggest that the leadership of America is more evil than others. Rome too, appeared at times to be great and good and noble, --when her interests coincided with the interests of others. But we must remember that the god of this world rules over the kingdoms of the earth. Those who would be kings in this age must first bow to him. Acting in one's self interest becomes a great evil when one has great power. If you believe that we live in the last days and the return of our Lord is close at hand, you must ask yourself what exists today in this world that fits the description of Babylon The Great. Neither the city of Rome, the ruins of Babylon, Iraq, the Catholic Church, or any of the other candidates sometimes mentioned fit the bill nor can they in the near future. Only the sole remaining superpower, the economic engine of the world, the one described by many in the press, academia, and government as the "New Rome" stands as a possible candidate. God may again shuffle the deck, but the cards as they are currently dealt point to America as Babylon the Great. Here are seven identifying marks given in the Scriptures (Rev 17,18):

    And the woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth
    The waters which you saw where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.
    The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sit
    And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls
    And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more
    And the ten horns which you saw,and the beast, these will hate the harlot ...and will burn her up with fire
    The nations have drunk of the wine of the passion of her immorality

The Great City

The Greek word for city is polis and originally referred to a fortified city. Over time it came to also refer to any sovereign political/military entity, i.e. the Roman Empire would be a polis. From this word we derive such english words as polity, politics, etc. Polis is the appropriate Greek term for the United States and its political/economic/military empire. Therefore the United States of America certainly qualifies as a GREAT CITY (mega-polis). The common Greek word for nation is ethnos from which we derive the word 'ethnic' and would not apply to America because it is not a single people, but is composed of multitudes from every corner of the globe.

Secondly, Rev. 17:18 refers to the Great City that has a kingdom or empire or rules over the kings of the earth. Such rule does not always take the form of direct political control. The Roman empire had many client states and allies who were allowed to retain some authority as long as they acted in the interests of Rome. Any attempt to be truly free would bring a military response. In fact, the failure to maintain order and control was to invite Roman intervention and regime change.

Today, many in the U.S. and abroad, including some in government, are referring to America as the New Rome, and are talking about empire. Throughout its history the United States as used military power to further its self[ish] interests around the world. At first, this empire extended only over central America and the Caribbean. Now it is global.

Some examples of this are:

    The genocide of the Native Americans
    The war with Mexico
    Panama
    Nicaragua
    Guatemala
    Cuba
    Haiti
    Dominican Republic
    Spanish American War
    China
    Invasion of the Soviet Union
    Iran
    Chile
    Vietnam
    Grenada
    any MANY more

    Since 2001, the United States has invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, engaged in attempts to overthrow the governments of Iran, Venezuela, and Hamas; and supported the Israeli invasions of Lebanon and the Gaza, as well as conducted military operations against targets in other nations, some known and some unknown.
    P.S. (2011) Now involved in Eqypt, Yemen, Tunisia, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, etc.

What other nation has ever exercised such global power as the United States does now? The United States spend more on its military than the rest of the world combined. The United States maintains over 4000 operational nuclear weapons, plus a stockpile of an additional 5000. It also has another 5000 assembled weapon + 12000 plutonium pits and other materials that can rapidly be converted into operational weapons.
Peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues

Statue of Liberty



Libertas was the goddess of sexual and personal freedom. She was the patron goddess of prostitutes and the goddess of battle, as well as a patron goddess of Rome. Libertas was also known as Isis, Ishtar and Astarte and one of her many titles was "Queen of Heaven", "Mother of Prostitutes", and "Mother of Exiles."

Frederic Bartholdi, the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty, which is a representation of the goddess Libertas, originally hoped to place a similar statue of Isis, the egyptian equivalent of Libertas, at the entrance to the Suez canal. That never happened, but he fulfilled his dream when he was commissioned to do the statue of Liberty. The seven ray on her crown symbolize the seven continents and the seven seas. The torch in her right hand is now covered in 24ct. gold. Her official name is "Liberty enlightening the world." [as opposed to Jesus being the light of the world]

Liberty bears the following inscription:

The New Colossus - by Emma Lazarus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

America - the redeemer nation, offers an alternative gospel to that of Jesus Christ; a gospel of materialism and personal freedom. Yet her gospel binds all she deceives in the chains of sin. Her promised 'golden door' is the door to the wide and easy way that leads to destruction.

What nation since Rome has had a citizenry composed for peoples from all the world. In fact, no nation has ever been made up of such a diverse populous. People from all of Europe, all of Asia, all of Africa, from Australia, from all the Americas, from the Islands of the seas; is there any nation not represented among the masses of Americans?

Sits on Seven Mountains

The Greek word for mountain means: hill, mountain, high country, mountain range, etc. Certainly Rome was built on seven hills, and so was Constantinople. But would the same Greek word have also been used to describe what we call continents? Is not a continent an area raised above the sea? Do we not speak of there being SEVEN continents? It is said that the seven rays on the crown of the statue of Liberty represent the seven continents and the seven seas. Does America sit on all seven continents? YES! She has military forces or installations in all. There is nowhere beyond her reach.

Great Wealth

Purple and scarlet, gold, pearls, and precious stones speak of great wealth. What nation can compare with America in wealth? The GDP of the United States accounts for 1/5 of the entire world GDP. It is almost twice that of its nearest competitor, China. The United States is the world's second largest producer of oil, only slightly behind Saudi Arabia. The U.S. produces and uses 25% of the electricity produced in the world. It consumes over 25% of the world's oil production. Has the world's largest (by far) external debt. Even its lower class would be regarded as wealthy in most of the world. Its driving philosophy is free market capitalism: the unrestrained freedom to amass riches. As a former president said, "the business of America is business." Where else do the "poor" own cars, televisions, VCR's, stereos, and often houses, even if they are over their heads in debt. We fill our landfills with things the truly poor of much of the world would fight over.
World's Biggest Consumer

The merchants will weep and mourn because she is the biggest costumer in the world, and her end will be the end of their profits. The United States imports 13,470,000 (2008) Barrels of oil a day! She imports $1,903,000,000,000 of stuff a year! She only exports $1,270,000,000,000. She is the great consumer. As the city of Rome did, she lives off what the rest of the world produces. It is said that when America sneezes, the rest of the World catches a cold. America is described as the engine of the World's economy. And that is not because of what she produces, but what she buys. She is the world's greatest debtor.

UPDATE 2009

The housing bubble, the product of American monetary and fiscal policy (low interest rates, and a largely unregulated financial industry) finally burst and began a chain of events that virtually collapsed the global economy. As of June 2009, the American government along with others continues in its attempt to "re-inflate" the global economy by a combination of fiscal stimulus (spending huge amounts of "borrowed" money) and monetary "easing" ("printing" money as fast as possible). In addition corporations "too big to fail" have been nationalized by injecting trillions of dollars. China and Russia have begun to demand a new world reserve currency to replace the dollar as they see the potential that all their dollar reserves and purchases of U.S. debt may become worthless or severely devalued. Export driven economies such as China, Japan, and Germany have been severely impacted as American imports fall with the fall in consumer spending. General Motors and Chrysler have gone bankrupt.

However, this is merely a shaking of the kingdoms of the world. The scriptures say that the destruction of Babylon will happen in one hour, and it will be burned with fire, and this takes place near the return of Christ. This current difficultly is merely the natural result of man's greed. The markets are driven by two emotions: greed and fear. When fear rules, markets go down, when greed rules markets go up. People eventually tire of fear and return to their natural and preferred state of greed. So, I expect Babylon to recover and the world to return to its profligate ways.

Hated

America is hated by much of the world. They have seen too much of Pax Americana to be deceived by her words. Her actions speak louder than her verbal support for human rights and democracy. The world saw her "liberate" Kuwait where her vital [spell that oil] interests were at stake, but saw her do nothing but delay acting herself and actually work to impede others from helping while Rwanda bled. But there is one particular group of nations that she sits upon that have a special hatred for her. They call her the Great Satan. Her exportation of her immorality through Hollywood, through television, through the pornographers of satellite, and through the internet, in addition to her support of Israel has marked her as the enemy of everything Islamic. Through her political and economic power she has corrupted their governments. She keeps the corrupt but compliant governments of countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia in power with money, training for their secret police, and when necessary, military force. Where that fails, she simply overthrows muslim governments with military power or through the CIA. And now she sits in the center of the Islamic World. She straddles the Tigris and Euphrates. America sits as the king of Babylon. The Islamists of the world often refer to America as "Rome" and "The Great Satan." She is viewed as the current seat of Christendom and the source of all that is corrupting Islam.

Has made all the world drunk with her immorality

The Greek word translated as immorality is porneia. It includes in its meaning all forms of illicit sexuality as well as spiritual unfaithfulness and idolatry. Certainly, pornography is porneia (N.T. greek) and America has flooded the world with filth. Pornography is big business. According to PBS Frontline its two leading purveyors were ATT (Broadband network) and DirectTV, not to mention an entire cottage industry of small time producers. Porneia also includes the promotion of immorality that is constantly occurring on network and cable TV. Who hasn't seen MTV's blatant appeal to sensuality? Who hasn't seen the daytime soaps' soft core porn for women? Who hasn't seen adultery, fornication, and homosexuality portrayed as the norm? Who hasn't seen sin made into something entertaining and amusing? Watch Dancing with the Stars on prime time television to see sensuality promoted to the public and children of America (and also the world) in all its glory. Porneia is most seductive when it is beautiful and sensual. Outright porno is just the end of the road for those already debased in mind and body.

Now, one should ask why the government does nothing to stop this since the devastating moral effects of pornography on men, women, families, and society are well known and documented. After all, government is ordained by God to restrain evil (does it have any other legitimate purpose?). Many will say, it cannot because of the constitutionally protected right to free speech. But we must always test all things to see what is true and what is a lie. Is commercial speech protected? Can liquor producers and cigarette companies advertise wherever they desire? Are corporations citizens or human beings whose rights are inalienable because they come from God? No my friends, America refuses to restrain this wicked traffic because of money. As with tobacco, too many have too much to lose. Morality seldom wins out over money in America. The slavery of others (and porneia enslaves) has always been a price America was willing to pay in the pursuit of wealth. [Remember that Jesus said, He that commits sin is the slave of sin] If you are tempted to object by pointing to the Civil War, I would point out that the North did not need slaves for its industries,(underpaid workers were cheaper) and if slavery had been considered necessary or desirable for a healthy economy (i.e. profits for the rich) in the North, the Civil War would never have happened.

It is not enough that America enslaves her own people in sensuality and immorality. It is not enough that she allows and promotes the sewer that now flows into almost every town, library, school, and home. It is not enough that children can be exposed to the worst abominations known to God and Man. Now America is intent on enslaving the whole world in the cause of what she calls freedom and make all the earth drink of her cup.

Update 6/29/2009

The material above seems really tame compared to what is happening today. Pornography so dominates the internet that the idea of XXX bookstores and video seems quaint. A Yahoo search for "porn" results is 600,000,000 pages. Huge numbers of men and increasingly women are falling into the trap of pornagraphy. 12% of websites are adult porn and in 2000 10% of men confessed to addiction to web porn. Now 1 in 3 of porn site visitors are women. The internet, an American creation (more precisely, a step child of the U.S. military) has truly become a broad (band) way the lead to destruction. President Obama has declared June LGBT pride month, gay parades are now passe, and even the LGBT parade in Jerusalem this month took place without protest. What does it mean when a nation gives itself over to the sin of Sodom?

IS AMERICA BABYLON?

The vast majority of Christians in the United States have been taught that America is simply not in Bible prophecy. No matter where one may turn, America is not there, either by name or by any form of code name either. Thus say the host of America's Christian clergy to their flock. The second thing they are told is that Babylon is NEVER TAUGHT ANYWHERE IN SCRIPTURE AS A NATION. Babylon is a SYSTEM, and most view it as a RELIGIOUS SYSTEM OF SOME SORT.

Prophecy said these views would surface at the time of end. It is the mark of apostasy to DENY YOUR IDENTITY, YOUR SIN, AND THE TIME OF YOUR VISITATION. In fact, that is the essence of all apostasy, THE REJECTION OF SCRIPTURE AS IT APPLIES TO A PERSON, COMMUNITY OR NATION. It is always SOMEONE ELSE, SOMEWHERE ELSE, AND AT SOME UNKNOWN "FUTURE TIME". Never is it NOW, US and OUR NATION.

Does it not seem odd to you that America, the GREATEST NATION IN THE WORLD, the greatest evangelical nation; that took the Gospel of Christ to the four corners of the world; THE RICHEST NATION ON THE EARTH, who has given more aid to nations than any other; THE NATION TO HAVE WON TWO MAJOR WORLD WARS and many others; IS NOT EVEN MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE? That God would forget a nation that has been central to the survival of Israel in this age? Not even in a cryptic way?

That is like saying God is blind in one eye, and cannot see out of the other! It is accusing God of utter negligence! But it is not God who is NEGLIGENT. It is not God who FORGOT AMERICA in prophecy. It is not God who failed to paint a picture that was obvious to those that wanted to find it. IT IS NOT GOD, BUT THE FALSE PROPHETS OF AMERICA WHO HAVE UTTERLY FAILED THEIR FLOCK. They are DECEIVED, AND THUS ARE DECEIVERS AND HYPOCRITES, FOR THEY LEAD MILLIONS TO ETERNAL RUIN.

God told the citizens of BABYLON THE GREAT, AMERICA, exactly what would happen in America, and pointed a finger directly at the CHRISTIAN SHEPHERDS. Why do you suppose that God would do that? Why would He pick a specific group and lay the blame right at their feet? Because it is GOD'S PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ANTICHRIST NATION, THE NATION THAT SPAWNS ANTICHRIST. Remember that antichrist rises in DECEPTION.

"My people (Christians) hath been LOST SHEEP

(UNSAVED, UNREGENERATE - HELL BOUND):

THEIR SHEPHERDS

(THE CHRISTIAN CLERGY, THE EVANGELISTS, THE PREACHERS, THE TEACHERS)

HAVE CAUSED THEM TO GO ASTRAY,..(Jeremiah 50:6).

The shepherds of God's people in Babylon America embrace a FALSE SALVATION GOSPEL (Matthew 7:21-23; 2 Peter 2:1-3), which leads MILLIONS into eternal ruin. Their salvation Gospel is an UTTERLY FALSE GOSPEL. It is "sugar-coated", and an ALL POSITIVE GOSPEL. That is what Jeremiah means when he says: "they have turned them AWAY on the MOUNTAINS; they have gone from MOUNTAIN TO HILL, they have FORGOTTEN THEIR RESTING PLACE."

God fights His wars IN THE VALLEY. True salvation lies IN THE VALLEY. If you refuse the VALLEY EXPERIENCE (THE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF THE SALVATION DOCTRINE) you will never FIND YOUR RESTING PLACE. Jesus said you MUST PICK UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM. Babylon's gospel of salvation HAS NO CROSS, NO DEATH OF SELF, AND THEREFORE NO TRUE LIFE.  It is an utterly false salvation doctrine. IT SWEEPS THE VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICAN CHRISTIANS INTO ETERNAL HELLFIRE. That is why God says they ARE LOST SHEEP. They ARE lost, LOST FOREVER.

"We are confounded, because we have heard REPROACH;

SHAME HATH COVERED OUR FACES:

FOR STRANGERS ARE COME INTO THE SANCTUARIES OF THE LORD'S HOUSE

(Jeremiah 51:51)."

Indeed, the false Christian clergy ARE STRANGERS and they hold forth a FALSE GOSPEL, that leads to their REPROACH AND LOSS at the judgment seat of Christ. They shall one and all BE ASHAMED, and now face ETERNAL RUIN FOR EVER AND EVER.  This is the primary reason why AMERICAN CHRISTIANS reject that America is Babylon. They have been UTTERLY MISLEAD BY FALSE SHEPHERDS. It is part of prophecy. BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE ONE OF THEM! You can extricate yourself from God's disfavor by SIMPLY ACCEPTING WHAT GOD SAYS AS FACT, and rejecting all the nonsense of these hell bound false leaders.

In this first part of our investigation we will focus on the aspect of whether or not God teaches that Babylon the Great is in fact A NATION AMONG THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD. GOD SAYS BABYLON IS A NATION. To claim otherwise is to utterly contradict GOD and all of HIS PROPHETS that spoke of BABYLON.  The mark of a FALSE TEACHER is one who DENIES OR CONTRADICTS THE WORD OF GOD, usually in an effort to prove his/her views correct. WE ARE ALL LIARS, AND GOD IS THE ONLY ONE WHO TELLS THE TRUTH.

The issue before you, then, is not your opinion, your biases, your intelligence, your standing before God, your education or your denominational belief structure. IT IS WHETHER OR NOT YOU WILL ACCEPT WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY EXACTLY AS HE SAYS IT.   The vast majority of Christians WILL NOT ACCEPT WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY. They refuse it, alter it, deny it, contradict it, or pervert it, and twist it. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY CHRIST SAID THE VAST MAJORITY OF CHRISTIANS WILL NEVER ENTER HEAVEN AT ALL. They shall be ETERNALLY SENT AWAY INTO RUIN AND LOSS. It was not that they COULD NOT ACCEPT WHAT GOD SAID, but THAT THEY WOULD NOT.

In view of the EXTREME SHORTNESS OF THE HOUR, PLEASE SIMPLY ACCEPT WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY, and take it into your heart. NO MATTER HOW IT MAKES YOU FEEL, DO IT NOW!!

FACT ONE: BABYLON THE GREAT IS A NATION.

When we say Babylon is a nation, we mean to say that she is A LAWFUL NATION, A NATION WITH SPECIFIC BOUNDARIES, A NATION RECOGNIZED IN INTERNATIONAL LAW, A NATION CAPABLE OF ENTERING INTO TREATIES, A NATION WITH A CENTRAL GOVERNMENT, AND A NATION RECOGNIZED BY THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH. That is a nation with a SPECIFIC LAND MASS, DEFINED BOUNDARIES BY LAW, A NATION WITH A PEOPLE THAT GO BY A SPECIFIC NAME, A NATION WITH URBAN AREAS, CITIES, TOWNS AND RURAL DISTRICTS, FARMS, LAKES, FORESTS, ETC. That is what we mean by a nation, and that is what GOD MEANS BY A NATION.

Babylon is referred to in the Scriptures as a nation both directly and indirectly. Often the term KINGDOM and NATION are used interchangeably. We will first of all examine those areas in the Old Testament prophecies that identify BABYLON THE GREAT as a nation, as a SINGULAR ENTITY, not some world wide system. Jeremiah 50:12 is a good place to start:

"Your mother shall be sore confounded;

she that bare you shall be ashamed:

BEHOLD, THE HINDER-MOST OF THE NATIONS

shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert."

 

This is a direct reference to BABYLON THE GREAT, who is also called THE DAUGHTER OF BABYLON. Jeremiah calls her directly THE HINDERMOST OF THE NATIONS. You view this his perspective, as he looks down the tunnel of time - the HINDERMOST from him would be the LAST BABYLON. That means the LAST BABYLON TO RISE BEFORE THE END. The last and the YOUNGEST OF ALL THE GREAT NATIONS AT THE END TIME. In comparison with the other nations of the world, at the time of the end, SHE WILL BE THE YOUNGEST AND ALSO THE MOST POWERFUL NATION AMONG THE GREAT NATIONS. America fits that description perfectly. She is the YOUNGEST and yet the most powerful NATION among the NATIONS of the world.

We know for a fact that this must refer to a limited LAND MASS AREA WITH SPECIFIC BOUNDARIES, for THE WHOLE WORLD IS NOT DESTROYED, but BABYLON THE NATION IS DESTROYED.  This latter day Babylon has a mother, which is also a NATION. This mother was responsible for "birthing" this mighty Babylon of the end times. If Iraq is Babylon as some try to claim, WHO IS THE MOTHER OF IRAQ? If you read this verse carefully, it says that the MOTHER NATION PRECEDED BABYLON, GAVE BIRTH TO HER, WATCHES HER RISE TO FULL POWER, AND WATCHES HER DIE IN FIRE. Again, WHO IS THE MOTHER OF IRAQ? Iraq has none.

Who is the mother of Rome, which is often presented as BABYLON? Rome is not a nation, but a city. Further, SHE HAS NO MOTHER.   Who is the mother of the EC, which is often presented as BABYLON, THE REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE? In point of fact, SHE WILL HAVE NO MOTHER, and further, BABYLON THE GREAT is always shown as a SINGLE NATION FROM HER BIRTH TO HER RISE TO FULL POWER AND GLORY. The EC does not qualify. Each parameter must be fulfilled. You CANNOT PICK AND CHOSE that which you wish to present to prove your case.

However, AMERICA has a mother. This mother was DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR HER BIRTH. That mother PRECEDED HER. England has been around awhile. England gave birth to America, and England is still around, and ENGLAND WILL WATCH AMERICA BURN. England is further confirmed as the mother of BABYLON THE GREAT by Daniel the Prophet in Daniel 7:4 (THE LION).  Ezekiel also mentions it in Ezekiel 38/39 as "TARSHISH", who gives birth to "young cubs". Tarshish is a cryptic reference to ENGLAND and her young cubs are America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc. Daniel refers to her as a LION. The national symbol of England is A LION. The eagle wings on top the lion IS AMERICA, HER DAUGHTER. America's national symbol is THE EAGLE WITH OUTSTRETCHED WINGS.

BABYLON THE GREAT IS A NATION. We would not need any other reference to prove it, because ONE DIRECT REFERENCE IS ENOUGH! There are many more. Habakkuk is a key prophet in identification of BABYLON THE GREAT. He is usually ignored by prophecy "experts".

"For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans (New Babylon),

THAT BITTER AND HASTY NATION,

which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces

that are not their's

(Habakkuk 1:6)".

[Editorial Note:  Chaldeans = Caledonians = Scots]
 

Notice the term NATION. Not NATIONS, or any GROUP OF NATIONS, but always ONE NATION, A SINGULAR NATION. Again God calls BABYLON THE GREAT A NATION.  She is also referred to as a KINGDOM, the same as a nation. Babylon is always referred to IN THE SINGULAR.

"And BABYLON, THE GLORY OF KINGDOMS,

the beauty of the Chaldee's excellency,

shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah

(Isaiah 13:19)."

Here Isaiah calls Babylon A KINGDOM, in fact, she IS THE QUEEN AMONG ALL THE KINGDOMS/NATIONS OF THE EARTH. She is the leading power of the WHOLE WORLD.  Notice her end: BY FIRE. That is EXACTLY WHAT JEREMIAH SAYS, and that is EXACTLY WHAT REVELATION 17 and 18 say. SHE WILL BE BURNED UTTERLY WITH FIRE. From coast to coast, from sea to shining sea. There is a complete HARMONY OF SCRIPTURE.

"Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness,

O DAUGHTER OF THE CHALDEANS:

for thou shalt no more be called,

THE LADY OF KINGDOMS

(Isaiah 47:5)."

Isaiah again refers to her as THE QUEEN OF ALL THE KINGDOMS. She is presented in Scripture as being the MOST POWERFUL OF ALL END TIME NATIONS. None can come close to her in terms to WEALTH, POWER, MILITARY, AGRICULTURE, MANUFACTURING, MU-SIC, CATTLE, HORSES, AUTO-MOBILES AND TRUCKS, AIR-CRAFT AND SPACE EXPLORATION.   All of these attributes are listed by the prophets as they describe BABYLON THE NATION. The point being she is REPEATEDLY REFERRED TO AS A SINGULAR KINGDOM, A SINGULAR NATION.

Babylon the Great is also referred to as the DAUGHTER OF BABYLON, and also THE DAUGHTER OF THE CHALDEANS. It is important to note that IT IS AGAIN A SINGULAR DAUGHTER. It is not DAUGHTER(S) OF BABYLON, but the ONE SINGULAR DAUGHTER.  The word for "daughter" is "bath", and it means OFFSPRING OR DESCENDENT of Babylon. LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER. It means that this DAUGHTER OF BABYLON will be OF THE SAME TYPE, OF THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS.

Ancient Babylon was the splendor of the world. She was the center of world trade, the richest and most powerful nation in the known world. Jesus said that AS IT WAS, SO SHALL IT BE!

"For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;

THE DAUGHTER OF BABYLON is like a threshingfloor,

it is time to thresh her: yet a little while,

and the time of her harvest shall come

(Jeremiah 51:33)."

 

Mighty Babylon, THE GREAT NATION OF THE END TIMES, is going to be PULVERIZED. She is to be UTTERLY DEMOLISHED FOR HER SINS.

"Come down, and sit in the dust, O VIRGIN DAUGHTER OF BABYLON,

sit on the ground: THERE IS NO THRONE,

O DAUGHTER OF THE CHALDEANS:

for thou shalt no more be called TENDER AND DELICATE

(Isaiah 47:1)."

 

Here Isaiah calls BABYLON THE GREAT the QUEEN OF THE NATIONS, but her throne has been taken from her. She has been REMOVED AS THE MOST POWERFUL NATION IN THE WORLD, and made to sit in the dust. Notice the SINGULAR ASPECT, ONE DAUGHTER, ONE THRONE, ONE QUEEN. BABYLON THE GREAT IS NOT A GROUP OF NATIONS AS THE EC, OR A SYSTEM, BUT ONE NATION, a nation that SPAWNS ALL THE END TIME SYSTEMS OF THE WORLD: POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, AND RELIGIOUS. In other words BABYLON THE NATION is responsible for the BABYLONIAN WORLD WIDE SYSTEM IT CREATES. And behind it all stands MYSTERY - WHICH THE BIBLE DEFINES AS SECRET RELIGIOUS ORDERS.

The Lord also uses the word "MOUNTAIN" to describe a kingdom or nation. Jeremiah 51 is a prophecy against the nation Babylon.

Jeremiah says in 51:25:

"Behold, I am against thee, O DESTROYING MOUNTAIN,

saith the Lord, which destroyest ALL THE EARTH:

and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee,

and roll thee down from the rocks (other nations), and will make thee a

BURNT MOUNTAIN (nation)."

 

Notice again it is a SINGULAR MOUNTAIN, not MOUNTAINS in the plural. Notice how the Lord calls BABYLON THE GREAT A MOUNTAIN, and the other nations are ROCKS. So Babylon, compared to the other NATIONS OF THE WORLD, is a MOUNTAIN AMONG THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD. She is again portrayed as the BIGGEST, MOST POWERFUL SINGULAR NATION IN THE WORLD.

With one accord, the prophets say that BABYLON IS A SINGULAR NATION. This is vital to your understanding AS TO WHY AMERICA PLAYS THE ROLE SHE PLAYS IN END TIME PROPHECY. It is America, THE NATION BABYLON THE GREAT, that is held responsible BY GOD for all the evils that spread over the whole earth.  IT IS FROM THE NATION BABYLON THE GREAT, and specifically FROM THE LITERAL CITY WITHIN THE NATIONAL BOUNDARIES OF BABYLON, CALLED MYSTERY BABYLON, THE GREAT CITY BABYLON, that all of these systems are spawned and nourished by the RICH MEN OF THE EARTH. In short, NEW YORK CITY, the GREATEST CITY WITHIN AMERICA, is held by God as being the CHIEF INSTIGATOR AND PROPAGATOR OF ALL THE EVIL SYSTEMS SHE CREATES.

The argument that Babylon is ONLY A WORLD SYSTEM utterly contradicts the Lord God and his prophets. BABYLON IS ALWAYS PRESENTED AS A NATION THAT GOES FORTH FROM ONE SPECIFIC LOCATION AND FROM THAT LOCATION CONQUERS THE WHOLE WORLD THROUGH THE SYSTEMS SHE CREATED. A spider weaves a large web, but she has to start from one place. Scripture is adamant and clear: SHE BEGINS AT BABYLON THE NATION, AND BABYLON THE CITY. Through her slowly expanding system of trade, economics, military power, political power and religious power, BABYLON'S WEB SNARES THE WORLD.

That is why God says that THE BLOOD OF THE SAINTS, THE PROPHETS AND ALL THAT WERE SLAIN UPON THE EARTH (Revelation 18:24), CAN BE TRACED BACK TO BABYLON THE NATION, AND TO BABYLON THE LITERAL CITY. It always comes back to roost at the feet of a SINGULAR NATION AND A CITY. America is turning rapidly ANTI-CHRISTIAN. The UNITED NATIONS, for all of its speech about HATRED AND INTOLORENCE, is ANTI-CHRISTIAN TO ITS CORE. God speaks to the United Nations in the Psalms, and MOCKS THEM for taking HIS WORDS IN THEIR MOUTH and then PERVERTING THEM, REVERSING THEM.

The KING OF BABYLON THE NATION, is presented in the Scripture AS THE ANTICHRIST (LUCIFER). THIS KING, OF THE NATION BABYLON THE GREAT, goes forth and conquers and then RULES OVER THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD. Check Isaiah 14:4-6, Jeremiah 51:25; 44; Habakkuk 1:6-10; 2:4-5; Revelation 13:7-8; 17:18; 18:24, and you will see this. It is THE KING OF BABYLON in every single instance that GOES FORTH TO CONQUER AND TO DESTROY AND RULE THE NATIONS. It is ALWAYS BABYLON THE NATION AND THE CITY, from whence he gets his POWER TO DO IT.  It is BABYLON THE NATION, through its deceptive front THE UNITED NATIONS, that rules the world FROM THE GREAT CITY BABYLON, which is NEW YORK CITY. That is why the UN is located in NEW YORK. It is no accident. It is not a coincidence!!

That means that THE KING OF BABYLON must be, and has to be, A PRESIDENT/RULER OVER BABYLON THE NATION, and will also be at the end, A SUPER SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE UNITED NATIONS, A WORLD PRESIDENT.  The occult knows ALL OF THIS. It is in almost all of their writings. They have written about the SECRET DESTINY OF AMERICA. Isaiah and Jeremiah claim the occult have labored from the inception of the nation to bring LUCIFER into the world. If the OCCULT FORCES KNOW THAT AMERICA IS TO SPAWN AND BE RULED BY LUCIFER (THE KING OF BABYLON), then why cannot Christians ACCEPT IT?

The ANSWER LIES IN THE REJECTION OF THE WORD OF GOD; IN APOSTASY. It lies in an utter refusal to ACCEPT GOD AT HIS WORD. Jeremiah said the Christian leaders in America would UTTERLY REJECT THE TRUTH OF SCRIPTURE, and lead their flocks astray. THAT PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULFILLED IN AMERICA.  If you refuse these parameters, you will never understand why America is getting involved, through its front the UNITED NATIONS, in many nations around the world! It is THE KING OF BABYLON or the antichrist (LUCIFER), that goes forth and conquers the nations of the world, AND RULES THEM IN ANGER. You have to START from some specific location, AND THAT LOCATION IS AMERICA, THE NATION, BABYLON THE GREAT.

As one might expect, A NATION would have CITIES within her borders, and if that is true, there would be a reference to same:

"...and I will kindle a fire IN HIS CITIES....

(Jeremiah 50:32).';

"HER CITIES are a desolation,...

(Jeremiah 51:43)."

We find specific references to the CITIES OF BABYLON THE GREAT. The NATION has cities, and great ones at that, for THE CITY BABYLON is a mirror reflection of the NATION and her OTHER CITIES. Thus, in America, NEW YORK CITY is a reflection of MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL, CHICAGO, LOS ANGELES, SAN DIEGO, SAN FRANCISCO, DALLAS, HOUSTON, ATLANTA, ETC. The nation is portrayed as the greatest NATION IN THE WORLD. There is none her equal anywhere on the globe.   A nation would also have VAST LAND AREAS. If Babylon is truly a NATION, then references to her LAND would be found:

 

"And against her LAND.."

"that shalt make her land desolate..."

"go forth out of the land."

"the sound of battle is in the land.."

"In the land of the Chaldeans.."

"out of the LAND of Babylon.."

"It is the LAND of graven images.."

"and shall empty HER LAND.."

"A LAND where no man dwelleth.."

"Her WHOLE LAND shall be confounded..."

"and THROUGH ALL HER LAND..."

"from the LAND of the Chaldeans..."

It should be self evident that BABYLON IS A SINGULAR NATION. She has huge cities, but one VERY SPECIAL CITY, THE LARGEST CITY WITHIN HER BORDERS THAT IS ALSO THE LARGEST SEAPORT CITY OF THE NATION! She has a huge land mass, and thus has NATIONAL BOUNDARIES. She is recognized in the family of NATIONS as the greatest nation in the whole earth. America fulfills that parameter.

The context is plain and simple. BABYLON THE GREAT IS AN END TIME NATION, THAT PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE IN END TIME EVENTS, A SINGULAR ENTITY. To claim otherwise is to UTTERLY CONTRADICT GOD. It is to spit in His face and call him a liar. The refusal to accept the fact that BABYLON THE GREAT IS A NATION AMONG THE NATIONS is one of the PRIMARY REASONS why many modern day prophetic scholars cannot understand WORLD EVENTS, as they relate to literal prophecy. They do not understand who America is, nor WHAT SHE WILL DO. They reject with mocking and vehemence all suggestions that America is BABYLON THE GREAT. They are thus DECEIVED, AND ARE DECEIVING OTHERS.

They are looking at the EC and some form of REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE, which according to the Scripture, WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Did you know that John the Revelator UTTERLY DENIES A REVIVAL OF ROME? He does! This is not to say the EC is not important, for the EC is in reality the formation of BIOREGION TWO of the UNITED NATIONS TEN WORLD REGIONS. It too will pay a major role in the future. So these folks are always looking at some other place, while ALL OF IT IS HAPPENING RIGHT UNDER THEIR NOSE. The United Nations is rising up right in front of them, the American government is becoming more draconian and dictatorial, more and more openly antichrist, and is now involved in the actual extermination of Christians, such as the Randy Weaver case and the WACO Branch Davidians. and the false prophets CHEERED THEM ON! The nation is engulfed in every antichrist religion in the world, and the false prophets are TOTALLY BLIND AS TO WHY! However, by their refusal to accept the Word of God they fulfill the prophecies against the shepherds of Babylon.

This nation, this SINGULAR ENTITY has certain key CHARACTERISTICS that identify her. In the next issue we will review these PARAMETERS to prove that AMERICA, AND AMERICA ONLY MUST BE, AND IS, BABYLON THE GREAT.   There is no other nation upon earth that fulfills the parameters listed for BABYLON THE GREAT, NOT ONE, NOT ANYWHERE! AMERICA ALONE DOES.  It is not IRAQ; IT IS NOT ROME; IT IS NOT THE EC. IT IS AMERICA. When you finally begin to grasp that one central key fact, then THE REST OF THE PROPHETIC PICTURE WILL COME INTO CLEAR FOCUS, and you will know WHY AMERICA IS DOING WHAT SHE IS DOING ALL OVER THE WORLD.

You will know why the United Nations is located in New York City. You will understand WHY the nations of the world ALL COME TO BABYLON AMERICA AT THE GREAT TOWER OF BABEL ON THE HUDSON. You will know why America is becoming the headquarters for every anti-God, anti-Christ religion in the world, for it is the CENTRAL SEAT OF BAAL, another name for SATAN/LUCIFER. America is the center of ALL OCCULT ACTIVITY. It falls to the occult. It falls to MYSTERY, and when it does, IT TURNS UPON ITS HERITAGE WITH A VENGENCE and destroys the people of God, and it will use TERRORISM as it primary weapon, claiming that FUNDAMENTALISTS ARE CAPABLE OF, OR CARRYING OUR "ACTS OF TERRORISM". The media will hype it. Don't believe it? Stay around for a few short months or years - and you will watch it happen in front of your eyes. THERE WILL BE A KILLING FIELDS OF AMERICA. God decreed it. It will happen.

You will also understand WHY America was born AS A GODLY, CHRIST FEARING NATION, and why she turns and utterly destroys her heritage and rises up as the LEADING CHRIST HATING NATION IN THE WORLD. It has happened exactly as Jeremiah said it would.  You will know why NEW YORK'S WALL STREET is the financial capitol of the world, and why the RICH MEN OF THE EARTH all have offices in THE GREAT CITY BABYLON. You will know why the WORLD TRADE CENTER sits in New York City. You will understand why the New York Stock Exchange is the most important exchange in the world. If Wall Street falls, the WHOLE WORLD FALLS WITH IT! Youl will know why CNN's MONEYLINE with LOU DOBBS comes on the air with the statment "FROM FINANCIAL CAPITAL OF THE WORLD", located in NEW YORK CITY, BABYLON THE GREAT CITY, home of THE UNITED NATIONS.

You will know why New York City is the largest SEAPORT CITY in the Western Hemisphere, and why America is surrounded by warm water seaports and trades by the sea with every nation upon earth. You will see why God said she "sits upon many waters", that is, SHE IS SURROUNDED BY LARGE BODIES OF WATER each with a different name. Thus the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico, The Arctic, the Great Lakes, the mighty Mississippi.  You will see what God meant when he said that Babylon the Great would be a nation formed out of every tribe and tongue on earth, who slowly migrated to ONE NATION and formed THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. That is why America has "E PLURIBUS UNUM" as it's motto! It was foretold by God!

You will understand why the U.S. Military is being used by the United Nations, for God said Babylon would have the greatest military machine the world ever knew or ever would know, but in the end, because she rejected Christ, it would fail her. YOU WILL KNOW WHY THE AMERICAN MILITARY IS BEING DOWNSIZED AND IT'S LEADERS ARE CLAIMING THERE IS NO MAJOR THREAT - FOR GOD SAID THEY WOULD DO EXACTLY THAT.

You will know why America is the central nation involved in GLOBALISM, and is the chief instigator of the NEW WORLD ORDER, and why it is America that issued State Department Document 7277. You will know why American Corporations and their leaders have spanned the globe, for they are the MIGHTY MERCHANTS OF BABYLON THE GREAT, whom God calls THE GREAT MEN OF THE EARTH.   You will understand why AMERICA WILL BE, AND HAS TO BE THE KEY ANTICHRIST NATION OF THE END TIMES. It is the KING OF BABYLON OF THE NATION BABYLON, that is the LUCIFER. He will go forth in anger and RULE THE WORLD FROM NEW YORK CITY, called the GOLDEN CITY, right at the UNITED NATIONS. (Isaiah 14:4-6). You will understand why the United Nations will be granted the right to TAX, and why it will destroy the nations through that ability! IT IS COMING, AND COMING FAST.

You will know all of this because GOD TOLD US via his prophets, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Habakkuk, and a host of others that the NATION, BABYLON THE GREAT, would be all of this and much more.  Jesus Christ said that as it was in the days of Noah, so would it be again. Many Christians do not realize that Noah lived 350 years AFTER the flood. He saw Nimrod's BABYLONIA (The nation). He saw the MIGHTY CITY BABYLON that sat within the boundaries of the nation Babylonia. He saw the TOWER OF BABEL, that was beside the GREAT CITY. AS IT WAS, SO IT SHALL BE AGAIN.

There will be a NATION, at the time of the end, that is A TYPE of ancient BABYLONIA, an offspring, a look alike DAUGTER. Within this New Babylonia will be a large city BY A RIVER. This large city BY A RIVER will reflect the wealth and power of the nation. Within the area of THE GREAT CITY BY A RIVER will be a TOWER OF BABEL, which represents A GLOBAL GOVERNMENT, A GLOBAL ECONOMY, AND A GLOBAL RELIGION.

This NATION AND CITY are referred to as a LADY, a QUEEN, because she reflects the ancient religion of Old Babylon, which included a QUEEN OF HEAVEN. Thus a symbol of some sort WILL SIT BY THE SHORES OF BABYLON that represents THIS LADY, THIS QUEEN. Is it coincidence that THE STATUE OF LIBERTY, A LADY, sits in NEW YORK HARBOR, NOT FAR FROM THE UNITED NATIONS? OR THAT THOSE INVOLVED WITH THIS STATUE HOLD TO A RELIGION IDENTICAL TO NIMROD, THE FIRST ANTICHRIST? WAKE UP, O YE CHRISTIANS, FOR THE NIGHT IS FAR SPENT!!

It is mere coincidence that America reflects in every way ancient Babylonia? From her laws to her three class system, she mimics ancient Babylon. Is it mere coincidence that within the confines of America's boundaries lies a CITY ON A RIVER? That is known as BABYLON ON THE HUDSON?  Is it coincidence that within that City, is a glass tower that sits BY THE RIVER, and that tower represents man's attempt to rule the world without God? Is it coincidence that the United Nation's religion is identical to ANCIENT NIMROD? That the UN stands for GLOBAL GOVERNMENT, and is pushing hard for a one world economy, and wants the world to embrace her RELIGION?

You have a choice to make. You can either believe God or the false prophets of Babylon. You can either accept the truth of Scripture, or the apostasy of the false shepherds. You can either save your soul, and count it worthy, or you can hate your soul, and cast your lot with the Babylonian false shepherds of eternal ruin. IT IS YOUR CHOICE.

THE IDENTITY OF AMERICA AS BABYLON THE GREAT

IS YOUR KEY TO THE WHOLE MYSTERY OF THE END TIMES.

 

It will become very clear to you why AMERICA will produce ANTICHRIST. He will rise up right in front of the noses of the apostate Christians who will embrace Him with their whole heart, for they REJECTED TRUTH, REJECTED GOD, AND REJECTED CHRIST. It will be the deception of all deceptions. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE A PART OF THAT DECEPTION! "COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, THAT YE NOT BE PARTAKERS OF HER PLAGUES.

IS AMERICA BABYLON?

Part Two

 

In our last issue we proved that God refers to Babylon the Great as a NATION, as a national entity, a recognized nation among the nations of the world. Babylon is also a LARGE NATION, with huge land masses, and is surrounded by SEAS.  This fact is often refuted by Bible scholars, who declare that Babylon is ONLY A SYSTEM, and NOT a nation or a literal city. In so doing, they fulfill the prophecies concerning the shepherds of Babylon who lead their people totally astray.

Rome is usually pointed at as being BABYLON THE CITY, if a literal city is even recognized. Rome, however, DOES NOT come close to being able to fulfill  the PARAMETERS OF GOD for the identification of the city, Babylon. It fails in almost ALL ASPECTS. Because it does not meet the  requirements of GOD, ROME CANNOT BE THE "GREAT CITY" BABYLON. This is not to say that Rome is not important in prophecy, for it is - it plays a major role and IS PART OF THE BABYLONIAN SYSTEM!

The argument goes that Rome is a CITY-STATE, and the Vatican is in reality a NATION, which it is, BUT BEYOND THAT FACT IT UTTERLY FAILS ALL OF THE PARAMETERS FOR BABYLON THE  GREAT. Babylon the Great is a LARGE NATION, with MANY CITIES. IT HAS MANY HUGE WARM WATER SEAPORTS, A HUGE MILITARY, A SPACE PROGRAM, ETC. Rome does NOT fulfill any of these. Therefore BELIEVE GOD AND NOT MAN.

If you want to understand what is happening in world events, you must first properly identify the players. If you misidentify them, your scenario will never play out, and you will end up confused and bewildered because it did not go down as you expected. This is exactly what is going to happen to the vast majority of prophetic teachers in America today - their scenarios are not playing out, in fact they are being contradicted left and right.  All of the emphasis for years has been ON THE BABYLONIAN SYSTEM ONLY, and that it would be run from a REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE. Scholars told us to look and watch Europe and the EUROPEAN COMMON MARKET, known variously as the EEC OR EC. That area of the world, they all claimed, would produce the antichrist and the antichrist system.

This claim is made from a mis-interpretation of Daniel 7, 2 and 4, which is then carried to Revelation 13, 17 and 18, which we will prove in various articles in the CIS SCANNER.  Word from Christian research ministries in the UK tells us the EC is in shambles, and most likely will not come to fruition as planned, and there are many items that have to be worked out. The number of nations involved does not agree with Daniel or Revelation, at this time. Because it does not, many TWIST THE WORD to make it fit. The EC continues to EXPAND, and the the parameters laid down by God through His prophets cannot be met by the EC.

For example, the current theme in the prophetic circles is to say that THE EC will go to 13 members, and then 3 will be removed, leaving 10. They claim THAT IS WHAT DANIEL "MEANT" TO SAY. A careful reading of Daniel 7 will show you that A BEAST WITH 10 HORNS EMERGES, AN 11TH ONE COMES UP AMONG THEM, HE REMOVES THREE OF THEM. 10-3=7! 7 + 1 = 8 total! Revelation 13 & 17 AGREE! "He is of the seven and is the EIGHTH"! BELIEVE GOD. This is PERVERSION OF SCRIPTURE to make something FIT, because they have a BIAS and a PRECONCEIVED THEOLOGY, and thus they have to "force" Scripture to make it match.

The fact is, the 10 Kings of Daniel 2 (the ten toes), Daniel Seven's fourth Beast and the 10 Kings of Revelation ARE NOT THE SAME, What is happening is a cross-application that appears to be incorrect. The 10 Kings of Revelation 17, that give their power unto a BEAST THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PREVIOUSLY DEFINED!

What CIS is saying is that THE UN BEAST POWER RISES UP, and divides the world INTO 10 BIO-REGIONS or KINGDOMS, which we believe has already been done under the Club of Rome. NAFTA is part of that plot, for they use TRADE AND ECONOMICS TO SET UP THEIR REGIONS. As it the WTO. BIO-REGION ONE IS CANADA, MEXICO AND AMERICA. NAFTA concerns FREE TRADE (no borders) between Canada, America and Mexico. THE EC IS THE "NAFTA" OF EUROPE. The goal: GLOBAL FREE TRADE with NO NATIONAL BORDERS. Each region has a LEADER/KING. This BEAST POWER, of DANIEL 7, gains its strength from SEVEN PRIMARY WESTERN KINGDOMS. It goes forth, according to Daniel, and DEVOURS THE WHOLE WORLD. Its headquarters are in THE NATION, BABYLON THE GREAT. It is controlled by THE WEST.

We are not saying that the final result of the EC will not be 10 kingdoms. The EC is the counterpart of NAFTA for Europe, a BIO-REGION BEING FORMED. We are not saying that those possible 10 kingdoms will not play an important part in prophecy. We are saying simply that Scripture places the SPOTLIGHT ON ANOTHER ENTITY, That entity is a SINGULAR NATION, from her BIRTH ONWARD, not a confederation of nations, and that nation is the greatest SINGULAR NATION to ever grace planet earth! THAT NATION IS BABYLON THE GREAT, THE DAUGHTER OF THE CHALDEANS. IT IS THIS ENTITY THAT SPAWNS AND CONTROLS THE FOURTH BEAST OF DANIEL, THE UNITED NATIONS.

It is also a fact that the Bible does not even remotely suggest the revival of an Old Roman Empire, which we shall get into later in this series. It not only does not suggest it, but both Daniel and John CATEGORICALLY DENY IT. Rome is not to be revived, BABYLON IS TO BE REVIVED, AND BABYLON OF THE END TIME IS PORTRAYED AS A SINGULAR NATION, NEVER AS AN ASSEMBLY OF NATIONS, AS IS THE EC!

Babylon is THE PRIME MOVER of an ANTICHRIST ALLIANCE, of which the G-7 nations could be a fulfillment, but it cannot, at this time, be proved this is the case.  Many prophecy teachers will tell you that all of the Old Testament prophecies against Babylon have been totally fulfilled. They apply ONLY, they claim, to ancient Babylon, and the vast majority of commentaries will tell you the same thing. THE ACTUAL FACT IS JUST THE OPPOSITE! When we first began to examine the Babylonian doctrines, we found commentary after commentary that said ALL OF THESE EVENTS HAD TRANSPIRED AND WERE FULFILLED IN THE ANCIENT PAST.

We then went to the larger libraries and conducted a SECULAR SEARCH of the records on ancient Babylon. SURPRISE, SURPRISE!! The actual cuneiform records, some written by the rulers of ancient Babylon, spelled out a totally different story!!! These stories matched up with the secular historians!!! In point of fact, 90-95% of the prophecies against Babylon, written by Jeremiah, Isaiah and Habakkuk, REMAIN YET TO BE FULFILLED. THEY ALL POINT TO A GREAT END TIME NATION OF VAST WEALTH AND POWER, A NATION THAT IS THE GREATEST NATION THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN!   Christ confirmed Jeremiah, Isaiah, Habakkuk and all the other Old Testament prophets as being GENUINE! Therefore, if they are genuine, THEIR WRITINGS MUST ALL COME TRUE, FOR THAT IS THE MARK OF A TRUE PROPHET OF GOD!!

You simply CANNOT BELIEVE the data in some areas of the commentaries on the market today. They are full of distortions, mistakes and much erroneous reporting of actual facts. Some of them are also an attempt by the Luciferians to INFILTRATE AND DESTROY THE WORD OF GOD. BEWARE OF ALL NEW TRANSLATIONS OF SCRIPTURE, FOR THE WORD OF GOD IS BEING CHANGED, A BIT AT A TIME.  Remember that Christ, Paul, Peter, John and Jude all warned that APOSTASY AND DECEPTION would sweep the vast majority of the latter day church into eternal ruin! YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ONE OF THEM. Almost all of what Jeremiah, Isaiah, Habakkuk, and others wrote concerning Babylon APPLIES TO THE LAST DAY BABYLON.

There are in reality THREE APPEARANCES OF BABYLON on earth from the flood:

1. Nimrod's Babylon.

2. Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon.

3. Modern Babylon.

When God gave the prophets the visions of Babylon, they referred to an entity that RISES, FALLS, RISES AND FALLS, AND FINALLY RISES FOR THE LAST TIME AT THE END OF THE AGE, DURING THE LAST GENERATION OF ISRAEL. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE VISIONS AND PROPHECIES CULMINATE IN A LAST DAY GREAT NATIONAL ENTITY AND WITHIN THAT NATION IS A CITY "MYSTERY BABYLON" Because the latter day BABYLON plays such a key role in ANTICHRIST ACTIVITY upon earth in the LAST DAYS, the vast majority of prophecies from the Old Testament ARE AGAINST THIS LATTER DAY NATION. It is that simple!!

Because Babylon is a SINGULAR NATION that TURNS UPON ITS HERITAGE OF GOD, AND DESTROYS IT TO BECOME THE ANTICHRIST POWER OF THE END TIMES, it is of vital importance that we PROPERLY IDENTIFY WHO THIS NATION IS.   One of the crucial prophecies against Babylon the Nation is found in Jeremiah 50. This verse of Scripture is SO STRICT in application that only two nations in the whole world fit it, and they fit WITHIN A VERY NARROW TIME FRAME, and that time frame was given to us by Jesus Himself in the Parable of the Fig Tree. This time parameter is so strict that these nations must fulfill every parameter within an 8o year span!

Stop to think about this; that TWO NATIONS must rise upon the earth, in a proper sequence, and they both must be present during an 80 year time span, do certain things, then it becomes a strict parameter. The events of nation take place over many years, and most nations are quite old!!

"Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed:

BEHOLD, THE HINDERMOST OF THE NATIONS

shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert."

(Jeremiah 50:12)

 

 

 As we stated in our first article, this is one of the most exacting parameters God gives us to identify this last great NATIONAL ENTITY called Babylon the Great.  First, she must have a MOTHER THAT BORE HER. Secondly, this mother obviously MUST PRECEDE HER, LIVE DURING HER ENTIRE LIFE, AND WATCH HER BURN, AND SURVIVE HER DURING THE LAST PART OF THE TRIBULATION. That gives us several clues. First, the mother could not be a close neighbor, for she too would burn with Babylon. Secondly, we are now speaking of TWO NATIONS, that MUST LIVE DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD. How easy is that to accomplish?

The mother MUST BE the prime mover in the establishment of Babylon. Babylon then, must be a direct offspring. The people who first established this nation will be from this "mother country".  Third, this relationship must remain THROUGHOUT the life of Babylon, with the "mother" being very close to Babylon itself in terms of CONTROL AND FUNCTION.

These parameters are crucial, and very strict. As was asked previously, who is the mother of Iraq? Who is the mother of the EC, which is DISQUALIFIED ANYWAY BECAUSE THE EC IS AN ASSEMBLY OF NATIONS, not ONE national entity from its birth!? Who is the mother of Rome, which is a CITY, and NOT A LARGE NATIONAL ENTITY. Who is the mother of Russia? Who is the mother of Israel or Jerusalem? These nations or cities have all been advanced at one time or another as being "Babylon".

The second aspect is that Babylon THE NATION is referred to as the HINDERMOST OF THE NATIONS. Jeremiah is looking down the tunnel of time, and is saying that BABYLON will be the LAST AND THE GREATEST NATION TO RISE IN THIS AGE. Of the great nations of the world today, who is the youngest? Everyone knows that America is THE YOUNGEST OF THE POWERFUL NATIONS, and is also THE GREATEST NATION TO EVER GRACE PLANET EARTH. It is also the HINDERMOST in the perspective of THE LAST RISE OF BABYLON!!

Does Rome fulfill this parameter? Does Iraq? Russia? Does the EC, which is disqualified because it is an ALLIANCE OF NATIONS? None of them do; they do not come close!!  Why cannot people simply accept what God says? There are only TWO NATIONS IN THE WORLD that fulfill this parameter! ONLY TWO!! And they fit it like a GLOVE. This one verse ALONE would identify who Babylon is!! ENGLAND AND AMERICA are the ONLY NATIONS IN THE WORLD TO FULFILL THIS PROPHECY TO THE EXACT LETTER.

You see, it is not a matter of EVIDENCE, it is a matter of REFUSING THE EVIDENCE GIVEN. It is a matter of personal bias, of prejudice, of refusal to accept God and His Word. Scripture is not written in a complex manner. It is written in a manner that even a ten year old can understand, IF THE HEART IS RIGHT. God says HE WILL CHOOSE OUR DELUSIONS. Why would God, the holder of ALL TRUTH, who wants us to KNOW ALL TRUTH, turn right around and say he will PICK OUR DELUSIONS? Only one reason: THE HEART IS NOT RIGHT!!

We have received some calls from people furious that we called America, "Babylon". We were accused of "manipulating" Scripture. We have not "manipulated" Scripture at all. We merely PRESENT IT FOR WHAT IT SAYS. God has picked THEIR DELUSIONS. THEIR HEARTS ARE NOT RIGHT. You could give them hundreds of verses to prove America is Babylon and they would all be UTTERLY REJECTED. Why? Because for whatever reason buried in their secret heart, THEY CANNOT ACCEPT TRUTH. THEY DO NOT WANT AMERICA TO BE BABYLON.

They want motherhood and apple pie. They want Thanksgiving and Christmas. THEY WANT TO LIVE IN THEIR DELUSIONS. It is a SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS, because they do not WANT the real truth!! It is too painful for them to accept. The vast majority, however, simply HAVE NOT STUDIED IT OUT, and because they have not, SIMPLY DO NOT REALIZE AMERICA'S IDENTITY!

 

ANTICHRIST TO RISE IN DECEPTION

 

 The other clue given in Scripture that should place us ON GUARD, is the fact that ANTICHRIST RISES IN DECEPTION. It is a DECEPTIVE PLOY OF SATAN. Deception means what it says: BABYLON WILL RISE TO FULL POWER WITH THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE NOT RECOGNIZING WHO BABYLON IS!. Do you understand what that means? It means that BABYLON THE NATION will not REVEAL ITS TRUE NATURE UNTIL THE VERY END. The MASK WILL BE RIPPED OFF and EXPOSED only after the DECEPTIVE RISE, AND ALL CONTROLLING FORCES ARE IN PLACE. Because deception usually works in REVERSALS (MIRROR IMAGES), and we end up with ANTICHRIST, then what is the REVERSE OF ANTICHRIST?

CHRISTIAN!!!

Thus it will be that THE LATTER DAY BABYLON will BEGIN AS A CHRISTIAN NATION. A NATION BASKING IN THE SUNLIGHT OF JESUS CHRIST!! That is what deception really means! For example, in Revelation, Jesus Christ spoke of a church called Laodicea, the lukewarm, apostate, social gospel church of the LAST DAYS. He said they were positive they were all saved and going to heaven. They were positive their works were APPROVED BY GOD. They were ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE OF ALL THIS. Jesus said:

 

"THEY KNOW NOT."

 

Do you see? THEY KNEW NOT THAT THE OPPOSITE WAS THE TRUTH!!! Their claim to salvation was IN REALITY A CLAIM TO ETERNAL RUIN. Their claim of good works, WAS IN REALITY A CLAIM TO EVIL WORKS. DECEPTION IS A REVERSAL OF THE REALITY.  The person caught up in a deception is UTTERLY UNAWARE OF IT. He/she usually will not EVEN CONSIDER AN OPPOSING POINT OF VIEW, which is one of the CLUES they are in deception. Deception is SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS, and the Bible claims that SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS COMES FROM DISOBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF GOD, or A REFUSAL OF THE WORD OF GOD!!

 

THE PARAMETERS FOR THE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION OF BABYLON

 

 We will now examine some of the KEY PARAMETERS laid down by God to PROVE THAT AMERICA IS BABYLON THE GREAT, AND THAT NEW YORK CITY IS THE "GREAT CITY BABYLON", THE HOME OF MYSTERY BABYLON.    Are you willing to face what God has to say? Are you willing to ACCEPT what God tells you? Are you willing to BELIEVE what God says, though it may mean a radical change in your thinking? When one discovers that one's beloved nation is portrayed by God as the ULTIMATE EVIL UPON EARTH, it is a shock. It shocks people to their very core. PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW WHO AMERICA IS ARE UNDER A DECEPTION. TO COME OUT FROM DECEPTION IS DIFFICULT AND PAINFUL. There are several phases a person goes through in this process:

1. ABSOLUTE DENIAL, EVEN THOUGH THE FACTS PRESENTED CANNOT BE REFUTED.

Usually, the letters we get are angry letters, short and terse, simply saying IT IS FALSE, UNTRUE and America IS NOT BABYLON. No Scripture is ever presented, and if it is, it is taken way out of context. THIS IS A REFUSAL TO ACCEPT TRUTH.

2. CONSIDERATION THAT IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE.

The individual moves from REFUSAL and DENIAL to a painful recognition that IT MIGHT BE TRUE. The heart is being moved BY GOD to accept A POSSIBILITY; THE MIND IS OPENING UP.

3. ANGER AT BEING LIED TO, OR BEING MISLED FOR SO LONG.

The next reaction is ANGER because one was misled, and the more one begins to see the real truth, the deeper goes the anger. We have to remember that DECEPTION was the key to all END TIME EVENTS, AND THAT IS NOT A MINOR DECEPTION, BUT MASSIVE!!

4. LOSS AND SADNESS, WITH TEARS OF SORROW.

Many people report to us that when it is finally confirmed to them BY THE LORD, they enter into a period of depression and sadness. In point of fact, who would not? It is a sense of deep betrayal. We are now entering a NEW PHASE, A PHASE OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH.

5. CONFUSION. A STATE OF NOT BEING SURE, OF GOING FROM BELIEVING TO DENIAL.

The mind and soul does not want to accept the facts as given in Scripture. The person involved goes back and forth, from acceptance to denial. To YES IT IS, to IT CANNOT BE. The mind says YES, the heart says NO.

6. GRADUAL ACCEPTANCE BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE DENIED.

During this phase, the facts of Scripture cannot be denied, although an attempt to argue with God is involved. God's Word, however, outweighs OUR WANTS OR OUR DESIRES. FAITH IN GOD'S TRUTH GRADUALLY WINS OUT. GROWTH IS NOW A FACT.

7. PREPARATION FOR LOVED ONES, BECAUSE IT IS A TRUTH, AND IT HAS RAMIFICATIONS.

The final acceptance, long and painful, leads to resolve to prepare for family and loved ones. The fact of America's being BABYLON THE GREAT has major ramifications for the Christian.

8. FULL ACCEPTANCE AND RELIANCE UPON GOD. TRUST IN GOD'S WORD. SPIRITUAL GROWTH HAS OCCURRED.

Growth can only come from challenge. Challenge means to have your PRESET VIEWS ASSAULTED. It means CONFRONTATION by things you DID NOT BELIEVE TRUE AT ALL. Growth is PAINFUL. It hurts, but as WE GROW, as we OPEN OUR MINDS to many facets of God's Word, WE BECOME MUCH STRONGER.

These phases may be gone through rapidly or slowly, depending upon the make-up of the person. CIS is asking you, the reader, to ACCEPT GOD'S WORD AS PLAINLY STATED. We are NOT asking you to BELIEVE ANYTHING WE SAY, but rather, that you DIG DEEPER INTO THE WORD AND BELIEVE WHAT GOD SAYS!

 

BABYLON A CHRISTIAN NATION AT BIRTH

 

One of the key parameters laid down by the Old Testament prophets is the implication, at least, that the latter day nation Babylon would be born a CHRISTIAN NATION, A NATION WITH THE HERITAGE OF GOD. Paradoxically, it is also portrayed as a nation that LABORED IN THE OCCULT FROM ITS VERY INCEPTION. In other words, Babylon is a nation with a SPLIT PERSONALITY, that claims both CHRIST AND LUCIFER AT THE SAME TIME. These two claims MERGE at the end, when APOSTATE AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY MERGES WITH THE "LUCIFERIANS".

This paradox can be easily resolved when you understand that OCCULT FORCES ALWAYS WORK IN SECRET AND IN DARKNESS, while the CHRISTIAN ASPECTS ARE ALWAYS PLAINLY VISIBLE. In other words, the Bible portrays America as being VISIBLY CHRISTIAN, while behind the scenes THE ILLUMINISTS, AND THE MASONIC FORCES labor to bring America into their dominion. AMERICA IS A REFLECTION OF THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL, BETWEEN CHRIS

Isaiah 47

1 Come down, sit on the ground, O virgin daughter of Babylon: sit on the ground, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and luxurious. 2 Take a millstone, grind meal: remove thy veil, uncover thy white hairs, make bare the leg, pass through the rivers.

3 Thy shame shall be uncovered, thy reproaches shall be brought to light: I will exact of thee due vengeance, I will no longer deliver thee to men.

4 Thy deliverer is the Lord of hosts, the Holy One of Israel is his name.

5 Sit thou down pierced with woe, go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: thou shalt no more be called the strength of a kingdom. 6 I have been provoked with my people; thou hast defiled mine inheritance: I gave them into thy hand, but thou didst not extend mercy to them: thou madest the yoke of the aged man very heavy, 7 and saidst, I shall be a princess for ever: thou didst not perceive these things in thine heart, nor didst thou remember the latter end.

8 But now hear these words, thou luxurious one, who art the one that sits at ease, that is secure, that says in her heart, I am, and there is not another; I shall not sit a widow, neither shall I know bereavement. 9 But now these two things shall come upon thee suddenly in one day, the loss of children and widowhood shall come suddenly upon thee, for thy sorcery, for the strength of thine enchantments, 10 for thy trusting in wickedness: for thou saidst, I am, and there is not another: know thou, the understanding of these things and thy harlotry shall be thy shame; for thou saidst in thy heart, I am, and there is not another.

11 And destruction shall come upon thee, and thou shalt not be aware; there shall be a pit, and thou shalt fall into it: and grief shall come upon thee, and thou shalt not be able to be clear; and destruction shall come suddenly upon thee, and thou shalt not know. 12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the abundance of thy sorcery, which thou hast learned from thy youth; if thou canst be profited. 13 Thou art wearied in thy counsels. Let now the astrologers of the heaven stand and deliver thee, let them that see the stars tell thee what is about to come upon thee. 14 Behold, they all shall be burnt up as sticks in the fire; neither shall they at all deliver their life from the flame. Because thou hast coals of fire, sit thou upon them; 15 these shall be thy help. Thou hast wearied thyself with traffic from thy youth: every man has wandered to his own home, but thou shalt have no deliverance.
