CHAPTER TEN

MYSTERY BABYLON PART TWO

All the filthiness and debauchery of sin that has and will be committed on earth is rooted and grounded in the Babylonian System which was established by the Serpent Satan. Mystery Babylon represents a system founded upon confusion, fear, and spiritual adultery established

“in the beginning” by the author of confusion Satan.

The seeds of confusion, fear, bitterness, strife, envy and all the works of the flesh were planted in the hearts and minds of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

When they ate the fruit which grew on the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the “deadly and divisive”

fruit they had eaten became their reality. The works of the flesh would also become a reality in the hearts and minds of their descendants.

After Adam ate the “forbidden fruit” he was confused and afraid. Adam hid himself from the presence of God among the other trees in the Garden of Eden after he sinned. When God asked him where he was Adam replied “I heard your voice in the Garden (his spirit) and I was afraid because I was naked, and I hid myself. We should never hide from God if, and when we sin. We should sincerely confess our sins in order to escape judgment.

After sinning Adam’s nature had changed. He blamed his wife Eve for his sin. Eve blamed the Serpent for her sin. All three of them were punished. The Bible tells us 56

that where envy and strife is there is confusion and every evil work. (See James 3:16). James 3:16 is the counterpart to John 3:16. Fear, confusion, strife, and bitterness had entered into Adam and Eve’s heavenly

“Paradise” and punishment for their “sins” would be quick and extremely harsh for them.

The Serpent became the author of confusion, the fall of mankind, and every evil work the Harlot System could and would conceive. John wrote that Mystery Babylon was the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth.

John said that she is drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. This will continue to be a reality until Jesus returns for His Church.

In Daniel’s vison regarding the Antichrist and the end of this present age he said “I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them.

(See Daniel 7:21). In John’s “revelation” regarding the Antichrist he wrote “And it was given unto him to make war with the saints and overcome them: and power was given unto him over all kindreds, and tongues and nations. (See Revelation 13:7). Speaking of Mystery Babylon John wrote “And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. (See Revelation 17:6).

The Babylonian System which was created by the seed of the Serpent in the beginning became the same system that would end up destroying itself in the end. That was the Serpent’s plan from the beginning. Satan’s motivation has always been to steal, kill, and destroy.

Except for the Thousand Year Reign of Christ on earth 57

he will continue his war upon mankind and upon the saints until he is thrown into the Lake of Fire.

In 586 BC Jerusalem was destroyed by the Babylonians and Israel was taken into Babylonian Captivity due to their “spiritual promiscuity” or confusion (spiritual adultery). The Bible tells us that they remained in Babylonian Captivity for 70 years.

After 70 years passed Nehemiah was sent back to Jerusalem to rebuild and restore the city to its former glory.

In a sense many today still remain in Babylonian (confusion) captivity. As Christians we are supposed to be in this world but not of this world. In some churches there are Christians as well as “Babylonians.” Many are

“confused” about their identity in Christ and what He accomplished for them at the cross. Although there are some Christians who are helping to “build” the New Jerusalem for the Lord many still remain in Babylonian captivity because they are still “confused.”

THE CITY AND THE UNITED NATIONS

According to the angel who gave John the

“revelation” Mystery Babylon represents an actual city.

Babylon was a city at one time that once ruled over or influenced the entire known world. The people who were building the Tower of Babel were also building a city at the time. They would not only have their own “religious system” they would also have their own political and economic system. That city later became known as the City of Babylon (confusion).

58

According to John in the Book of Revelation Mystery Babylon, the whore, is also a city and it reigns over the kings or nations of the earth. (See Revelation 17:18).

What city today would fit the description of Mystery Babylon?

One of the boroughs that make up of the city of New York is named Babylon. When entering into the city along the Hudson River people can look to there left and see a large sign there that says BABYLON NEW YORK.

Babylon New York is the home of around 300,000

Jews. It is the only city in the world that is named Babylon. The 300,000 Jews in Babylon New York are still living in Babylonian captivity so to speak. They are

“confused” about their spiritual identity. They reject Christ as their Lord. They still “religiously” live under the Mosaic Law.

There is only one city in the world today that fits the description of Mystery Babylon. That city is located in the United States of America. Mystery Babylon is the city that rules over all the nations of the earth. In a sense the United Nations which is domiciled in New York City rules over all the nations of the earth in one form or another. It is where representatives from all nations

“unite” together as one government to maintain peace and security for all its member nations.

When the United Nations was first established its main protocols were to foster worldwide cooperation in solving economic, social, cultural, and humanitarian issues. The United Nations does not have its own military’ but it does have “peace keeping forces”

supplied by each member state. Today’s role in the 59

affairs of the member states has taken on a new face than which it had at its inception in 1945 after World War II.

The United Nations was formed to eventually become a “one world” governing body or “One World

Government.” Its purpose today is to institute a New World Order that would be ruled by the “global elite.”

In a sense the Nation States of the United Nations has become much like the world before their language was

“confused” by God in order to stop them from building their “Tower to Heaven.” During sessions at the United Nations building in New York City member nations can understand what each other are saying through digital technology. They can hear what speakers are saying in their own language through devices that interpret what each speaker is saying in each members own language.

The barrier which God imposed on mankind by confusing their language to stop them from building the Tower to Heaven has now been eliminated and nothing men desire to do will be impossible for them without divine intervention.

For the builders of the Tower to Heaven being of “one mind” and one in purpose, they could rule the entire world if they so desired. There was nothing that could restrain the people of Babel from doing anything that they set their minds to do if they were unified in plan and purpose.

I have read that today’s purpose for most member States in the United Nations is to build a One World Government/New World Order with the purpose of redistribution of wealth, and a One World Religion, 60

along with the depopulation of the world. I wrote in my book titled “I AM--A Prophetic Look at End Tome Events in 2006 that this would be instituted in the last days—the end of this present age.

There is nothing wrong with working together to ensure peace and security as long as people are being motivate by their love for God and for their neighbors.

The problem with the United Nations is that many of the nations do not serve the God of Heaven but the god of natural resources and spiritual immorality. Their plans and purposes at the onset disqualify them from truly

“being united” because the will of the God of Heaven is not a part of their plans and purposes.

In essence when rejecting the God of Heaven and His purpose for mankind man can only promote the doctrines of self-rule, self-determination, and self-dominion which are engendered by Satan the Serpent.

The “confused” will always distance themselves from the divine order the God of Heaven advocates, inspires, and requires.
