MYSTERY BABYLON PART THREE

AND THE WOMAN THAT THOU SAWEST IS

THAT GREAT CITY, WHICH REIGNETH

OVER THE KINGS OF THE EARTH.

Revelation 13:18. AND THE KINGS OF

THE

EARTH

WHO

COMMITTED

FORNICATION AND LIVED DELIOUSLY

WITH HER, SHALL BEWAIL HER, AND

LAMENT FOR HER WHEN THEY SEE THE

SMOKE OF HER BURNING, STANDING

AFAR OFF FOR THE FEAR OF HER

TORMENT, SAYING, ALAS, ALAS, THAT

GREAT CITY BABYLON, THAT MIGHTY

CITY, FOR IN ONE HOUR THY JUDGMENT

HAS COME. Revelation 18:9-10. FOR IN

ONE HOUR SO GREAT RICHES IS COME

TO NOUGHT. AND EVERY SHIPMASTER

AND THE COMPANY OF SHIPS, AND

SAILORS AND AS MANY AS TRADE BY

SEA, STOOD AFAR OFF, AND CRIED WHEN

THEY SAW THE SMOKE OF HER BURING,

WHAT CITY IS LIKE UNTO THIS GREAT

CITY. Revelation 18:17-18.

New York City has been called “the capitol of the world.” It is called the capitol of the world because the United Nations is located there, and it is one of the largest economic and banking centers in the world. New York 62

City has also been described as the cultural, financial, and media capitol of the world. The World Trade Center is located in downtown New York City.

As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York City making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. New York City has one of the world’s largest harbors and has the eighth largest economy in the world.

It is also the home to the highest number of billionaires in the world.

The wealth of “the harlot,” Mystery Babylon was evident in the gold, precious stones, and pearls she was adorned with. (See Revelation 17:4). All the kings of the earth committed fornication with her is a reference to the United Nations and the economic power of New York City.

Mystery Babylon had a golden cup in her hand which is a reference to the censure the Statue of Liberty holds up in in her right hand. The Statue of Liberty sits on Ellis Island located in New York Harbor. The waters Mystery Babylon sat on are peoples, and multitudes, and tongues, and nations. (Revelation 17:15).

One of the most prominent gods of the Babylonians was “Ishtar.” Ishtar was one of the many gods and/or goddesses the Babylonians worshipped. She was known as “the goddess of freedom.” The priests and priestesses in the Temple of Ishtar in Babylon “prostituted” their bodies to the “worshippers” that would come to the Temple which “ironically” was called “The White House.” The White House of course is the home and offices of the President of the United States.

63

The sacrifices of the bodies of the worshippers to the priests and priestesses in the Temple called The White House and their monetary offerings were atonements for their sins. The true God does require a sacrifice for sin.

However, that atonement was provided by Christ at the cross. The atonement was an offering that promoted and provided holiness to worshippers and not sin.

New York City is the “gateway” to one of the most concentrated consumer markets in North America and has the largest port in the United States. Among others, all of these facts about New York City can surely be compared to what John wrote about regarding Mystery Babylon in the Book of Revelation, Chapter 18. But that is not all the evidence that points to New York City being Mystery Babylon.

One of the Boroughs of New York City is named

“Babylon.” Babylon New York is the only city in the world that is named Babylon. Babylon New York is the home of over 300,000 Jewish people. Many of the Jews living in Babylon New York are descendants of the Jews who were taken into Babylonian captivity in 586 BC.

Spiritually speaking these Jews are still living in Babylonian captivity since they are under the influence of the world’s Babylonian System and have not yet receive Christ as their Lord and Savior.

The Babylonian System is an antitype of the Kingdom of Heaven. The god of this world has taken steps to see that his kingdom is the exact opposite of God’s Kingdom.

Where there is divine order in the Kingdom of God there is disorder and confusion in the kingdom of the god of this world.

64

Like the Babylonians the Romans also worshipped many gods. They also worshipped many of the gods the Babylonians worshipped. One of the most prominent gods or goddesses the Romans worshipped was

“Libertas.” Libertas is the Latin word for “freedom.”

Libertas was actually the same goddesses as Ishtar but with a different name. The English word “liberty” is derived from the Latin word for freedom “libertas.” The Statue of Liberty in New Your Harbor is an image of Libertas/Ishtar.

The Statue of Liberty was designed and constructed in France by a “French Freemason.” It was presented to the United States as a symbol of their quest and fight for freedom. When the statue was first constructed the

“censure” in her hand was originally made of gold. You can reference the censure or “cup” to the golden censure in the Harlot’s hand in Revelation 17:4. The golden censure was later replaced by one made of concrete.

When sailing into New York Harbor from the south the Statue of Liberty stands in the water (a prophetic refence to the waters the Beast and the whore sits on in Revelation 17:1). Waters are also prophetic of masses of people. From the Statue of Liberty, you can see a large tower standing on Long Island. The tower has the name

“BABYLON” written on it in large bold letters. Long Island is where Babylon New York is located.

According to John Babylon will fall and become the habitation of devils. (See Revelation 18:3). Mystery Babylon and the current Babylonian System will be destroyed beginning with the Russians “rain” of nuclear bombs upon the United States. New York City and 65

Washington DC are some of the first targets the

“missiles” will hit and destroy. A new system of terror and the subjugation of the masses will later be inaugurated through the Mark of the Beast.

True freedom does not come out of the barrel of a gun as earthly freedom does through revolutions and civil wars. True freedom proceeds out of the hearts and mouths of those who repent of their sins and confess Christ as their Lord and Savior. As the Apostle Paul wrote “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.” (See 1st Corinthians 15:19).

Our hope is in the true “Spirit of Liberty” and life eternal in Christ Jesus.

Mystery Babylon and the current Babylonian System will be destroyed in order for the new “Beast System” to arise. One of the most powerful symbols of the world’s prosperity and financial strength will be destroyed in one day and the kings of the earth will lament over her when they see the smoke of her burning according to the Bible.

(See Revelation 18:8-10).

According to the Book of Revelation the Beast and the

“ten horns” which represent the ten kings of the beastly confederation “will make desolate” and eat the flesh of the harlot and burn her with fire.” (See Revelation 17:16).

The Bible tells us that the love of money is the root of many kinds of evil (actual translation). (See 1st Timothy 6:10). The love for or desire for the wealth of the “harlot system” is the root of most of the evil that exists today.

Filthy lucre and the deceitfulness of riches have replaced godly wisdom in many Church leaders today. Spiritually 66

speaking the deceitfulness of riches is a “narcotic” that has intoxicated many throughout the ages and in the Church today with the “wine” of the harlot’s spiritual fornication.

Through Satan’s uncanny ability to deceive the masses he has been able to influence and/or control many world governments and/or governmental leaders.

Satan’s plan “in the beginning” was to be able to gain dominion over and control the destiny of those who would (spiritually speaking) bow their knees to him. His plan for mankind is to create fear and chaos in the hearts and minds of his “subjects.” For Christians, the fear of the Lord is wisdom. For Satan’s subjects fear is their consternation, trepidation, and tormentor.

Freedom is not free and never has been. People fight and die against tyranny in order to be free. Spiritually speaking Jesus bought and paid for our freedom at Calvary.

The natural freedoms we have experienced over the centuries is quickly being eroded and extinguished by Communists that are Satanists under the control of the god of this world and the Spirit of Confusion.

Where Christians go from here is up to each individual. As individuals we must each choose for ourselves which God or gods we will serve. If you

“choose life” and the Spirit of Liberty you will choose

“true freedom” and liberty that cannot and will never be taken away from you.
