    Just what is this

    Mystery Babylon?

    In order to understand just what this Mystery Babylon is, we first need to understand that

    the word, Mystery, is relevant when it comes to unraveling this prophetic, Hidden Truth.Since it is described as a mystery, then we know that it is not the literal Babylon. John didnt sit

    in Wonder regarding the destruction of the literal city called Babylon the Great in Revelation,

    but he was in wonder about this, Mystery Babylon. As you will see though, its relationship to

    the historic Babylon and indeed its very nature, run in parallel with each other. So, lets start

    this study with a look at the actual city of Babylon.

    The historic city of Babylon was situated on the Euphrates River about 95 miles south of

    Bagdad, Iraq. The city was almost square, about 14 miles per side. There were two huge wallssurrounding the city, one inner wall, running parallel to the outer wall. There was a moat

    surrounding the walls using water diverted from the Euphrates. The Euphrates river also divided

    the city, by running through it. This city became home to one of the Seven Wonders of the

    Ancient World, the beautiful Hanging Gardens of Babylon. It was said that at a distance the

    gardens looked like a mountain covered with foliage.

    So why did God, draw parallels to this city? First off, the tower of Babel was within the city,and therein lies our first clue. To get some background, we need now to go back to the old

    testament book of Genesis, to see how this city started, and progressed to the point that they

    thought they could build a tower to heaven.

    Noahs son Ham, was cursed for berating his father, when in a drunken state and naked. Ham

    came in, saw his father and made a big deal of it to his brothers. Noahs other two sons, Shem,

    and Japheth, came in and covered Noahs nakedness, without spying on Noah. Now, there is a

    very good reason why Noah became so drunk, which is addressed in my, In the Beginning.. letter.Suffice it to say, that the wine after the flood, fermented much quicker than before the flood.

    The wine was much more potent than what he had brewed the last time, and Noah was taken off

    guard and drank too much before he realized it. Exactly what Noah was doing in his naked state is

    not revealed to us, however Hams sin, is that of not honoring his father. Ham was told that for

    his sin, Canaan, his son, was cursed, he would Serve his brothers, and Hams descendants were

    enslaved more than any other. From Ham came the Ethiopians, the Egyptians, the Libyans and

    other tribes in North Africa, also tribes that settled in Palestine, Arabia, Tyre, Sidon, and other

    parts of the land promised to Abraham.

    If you go to the book of Jasher, which was included in the scripture of Jesus day, and is

    referred to multiple times in the Bible, we find out that Ham stole from Noah, the animal skin

    garments that God had given to Adam and Eve. These garments gave Noah the ability to control

    all the animals. Ham took these garments from Noah, he gave them to his son Cush, who in turn

    gave them to his son, Nimrod. When Nimrod put them on, he became a mighty man, the Great

    Hunter he was called. These skins made him invincible in war, and enabled his hunting prowess.

    Im sure with Adam and Eves animal skin clothing, Nimrod could call up any animal, immobilize it

    and kill it. He cheated. Let him take off those skins and see what the animals would do. God

    actually blessed his actions though, through the use of the skins, and enabled his victories. After

    much success, defeating even his brothers enemies, he sat down, was crowned king and then

    rested. This is when Nimrod made his biggest mistake. Just as Lucifer became proud, so did

    Nimrod. He thought to much of himself, and probably thinking of Hams curse, sought to enslave

    others, and proudly create his own empire, proving God wrong. It mattered not that God gave him

    his abilities, and every victory won, was won with Gods blessing. He wanted to bask in all the

    glory, all the glory that should be reserved for God and God alone. Then Nimrod, who had

    enslaved even his brethren, decided to go build a new city that would be home to his new palace.

    That citys name is Babylon.

    Nimrod was evil, and forcibly united all the known world into his own Empire. He made gods

    out of wood and stone, and taught mankind to bow down and worship his gods, and he taught them

    all his wicked ways. Abram was born to Terah, one of the chief princes of Nimrod, and when he

    was born, the wise men and sages of the day, saw what probably was a comet, and knew by this

    that Abram would become great, multiply and destroy all the kings of the earth. They told this to

    Nimrod and devised a plan to buy Abram from Terah, and kill him. When Nimrod told this to

    Terah, and stated that if he wouldnt give up his son, that he would have his whole household

    killed. Terah told Nimrod to give him 3 days to decide. Terah went home and relayed theultimatum given him to his family. When the three days were complete, the king requested again

    Terahs son, Terah took his handmaidens son, that had just been born, and gave this son to

    Nimrod, who immediately dashed the baby to the ground smashing his head, killing it. Terah then

    took Abram and hid him in a cave, and raised him there for ten years. This same Abram was sent

    to live with Noah and Shem, who taught him Gods ways, and Abram became Abraham, the father

    of faith.

    Now Nimrods pride and godlessness grew, and he and his council decided to build a tower toheaven, so that they would always be the greatest, reigning over all the world, and uniting it so

    that they would not be scattered across the earth. So the tower of Babels construction began.

    There were probably different dialects of the same language used worldwide, which made

    communication between the people easy, kind of like the different accents within the English

    language. Nimrod had indeed united the world into a common government, religion, and economy,

    which God knew if left to their own devises, would create a union dedicated to false gods and

    religions and could in fact destroy all truth and true faith in the one true God, off of the face of

    the earth. When the tower became very tall, the people, in their pride, would shoot arrows into

    heaven, and when they came back down, they were covered in blood, which the people saw this astheir having killed all of heavens inhabitants. God caused this though, to deceive them. In their

    pride, just as Lucifer had tried in the past, they exalted themselves. Well God, had had enough,

    and took seventy angels with him, they went down and confused the tongues. We get the term

    babbling, from this city. Neighbors couldnt understand each other, and began killing each other.

    There were three divisions that God destroyed. Those that said, we will ascend to heaven and

    serve our gods, became like apes and elephants, Im guessing by this that they became like

    beasts. Those who said, we will smite the heavens with arrows, God had them kill off each other.

    Those who said, we will ascend to heaven and fight against Him, God scattered across the earth.

    Those that were left, fled the tower and scattered. As for the tower, the earth opened up andswallowed a third of it. Fire from heaven came down and devoured a third, and a third was left

    and still existed, in the days of the writing of Jasher. Nimrod returned to Shinar, and reigned

    securely. He never returned to the Lord though, he taught wickedness to all, and his son Mardon,

    it is told was worse than his father. This then is how Nimrod tried to unite the world into a one

    world religion, government, and economy, which was evil in the sight of God. That same spirit, that

    one world desire of the leaders was crushed at the tower, however the Spirit of Babylon did

    not die.

    It was resurrected through Nebuchadnezzar. You remember him. He is the one that enslaved

    Israel, reunited the known world into one kingdom, and demanded everyone to worship himself.

    Now Israel had two previous oppressors, Egypt and Assyria, however they were not world

    powers. Daniel, along with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, were taken by Nebuchadnezzar,

    and were to be teachers and servants within the kings home. Their captors tried to fatten them

    up by feeding them the kings provisions. They though, would not bow down to this king who was

    not God, nor defile themselves by eating the kings provisions which included meats not allowed or

    prepared properly according to their commands from God. When confronted with their rebellion,

    Daniel made a deal that they would eat pulse, which was a variety of vegetables, beans andseeds, and water. After ten days they should compare these four, with the others that had been

    eating the kings food, and see who looked healthier. Of course they looked better than the

    others, so the king made everyone eat what these four were eating. God blessed Daniel, or

    Belteshazzar, which is what the Babylonians called him, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in all

    knowledge and wisdom, and Daniel was given the ability to interpret dreams and visions. They four

    were exalted in Babylon and counseled the king. They were ten times better than the magicians

    and astrologers of Babylon, in their wisdom and counsel.

    Some time later, Nebuchadnezzar had a dream, and commanded his wise men to give to himself

    the dream and the interpretation of the dream. When they couldnt come through for the king,

    he was angry and demanded all the wise men to be killed, which would have included Daniel and his

    friends. Daniel however, went to the king and asked for time so he could give the king what he

    desired. Then God revealed the dream to Daniel, which he relayed to the king and the

    interpretation was also given. In the kings vision, he saw an image of the present and future

    oppressors of Israel. The head of gold, was Nebuchadnezzar, representing Babylon. The chest

    and arms of silver, represented the Medo-Persian empire that succeeded Babylon. Again a world

    power that enslaved and persecuted Israel. The belly and thighs of brass, represented the

    Grecian empire what came next. Then you have the legs of iron, representing the Roman empire,

    and last but not least the feet and toes being a mixture of iron and clay, representing the revived

    Roman empire that will exist in the end, and will be destroyed by the Stone cut out without

    hands, which represents Jesus that comes at the end of the Great Tribulation period, and His

    kingdom is set up which will have no end. After Daniel revealed these things to the king, the king

    fell prostrate at Daniels feet and worshipped him, and declared that Daniels God was truly God.

    He promoted Daniel, and at Daniels request, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

    Nebuchadnezzar then created an image of gold. This image, probably representing the king, was125 feet tall and 12 1/2 feet wide. This was a foreshadow of the image that the antichrist will

    set up during the Great Tribulation. Then at the dedication ceremony, the decree came out that

    at the sound of horns, harps, flutes, drums and all kinds of music, that everyone in the kingdom

    stop what they are doing and fall down and worship this image that was set up by the king. If

    they didnt worship this image, they were to be thrown into the fiery furnace. It is not known

    where Daniel was during this time, but certain Chaldeans were accusing the Jews of not

    worshiping the image that the king set up. You know this story, the king was furious and

    commanded the furnace to be heated seven times hotter than normal. He commanded his mighty

    army men to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and cast them into the furnace. They didthis and the men that threw them into the furnace were burned up themselves just getting close

    enough to throw them in. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, however, were not burned, didnt

    smell like smoke, and not a hair on their head was singed. When the king looked in though, he saw

    four men, loosed from their bindings, and walking in the midst of the flames, the fourth one was

    like the Son of God. The king then made a new decree that anyone that spoke against the God

    of the three Israelite sons, would be cut to pieces and their homes made into a dung hill. You

    know what Dung is, right?

    At some later date, the king, Nebuchadnezzar, had another dream. He called in his wise men

    and told the dream to them, and they still couldnt interpret the dream. Daniel then came in and

    gave the interpretation to the king. The king would be driven from men, and would live in the field

    with the beasts, and eat grass like an oxen. This would last for seven years. Then God would

    restore his mind and his kingdom and then he would know that Daniels God was truly the God of

    all gods. Twelve months went by, and in the kings pride he extolled himself and his kingdom and

    his own majesty. Then he went mad. Seven years later his senses came back and his kingdom was

    given back to him. Nebuchadnezzar finally got it, and never again did he try to exalt himself or

    any other gods over the true God. I expect to see Nebuchadnezzar in heaven.

    Belshazzar, not to be confused with Daniels Babylonian name, Belteshazzar, became the next

    king of Babylon, and most likely never knew Daniel. He was proud himself, and exalted his own self

    and his kingdom. He had a very extravagant feast, for a thousand of his Lords. At this feast he

    commanded, that the sacred golden vessels from the Temple at Jerusalem, be brought in. His

    father, Nebuchadnezzar, had taken them from Israel, and they drank their wine from them. They

    praised their gods of gold, silver, brass, iron, wood and stone. The same hour, came the Writing

    on the Wall. A hand, or fingers, wrote on the wall, and Belshazzar was terrified. He called in his

    wise men, who couldnt read the inscription. Then the queen, probably Belshazzars mother, came

    in and told Belshazzar of Daniel, who was brought in. Daniel then came in, and told the king to

    keep his gifts. He reminded Belshazzar of his fathers own pride that resulted in his going mad.

    He told the king that the true God had given him his kingdom, and in his own pride, despite

    knowing what had happened to his father, he still exalted himself and his false gods.

    Daniel, however, interpreted the writing. MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. MENE means, God

    has numbered thy kingdom and finished it, this was reiterated twice. TEKEL means, Thou art

    weighed in the balance, and are found wanting or fell short. UPHARSIN, or PHARSIN is theplural form of PERES, meaning, Thy kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.

    That very night, Belshazzar was killed and his kingdom overthrown. Darius, the Median, took over

    the kingdom.

    Darius liked Daniel though, and named him one of three presidents over the one hundred and

    twenty princes that Darius placed over the whole kingdom. Others though, being jealous, devised

    a way to get rid of Daniel, and had the king sign a decree that anyone that asked a petition, or

    that would pray, to any God or man other than Darius would be thrown into the lions den. Well, ofcourse Daniel wouldnt go for that, and as a result was thrown into the lions den for his

    insubordination. Darius, though, still liked Daniel and worried about what his decree had caused.

    He couldnt sleep that night, and went straight to the lions den first thing in the morning, crying

    out to Daniel, in hopes that the God of Daniel had saved him. God did deliver him though, by

    shutting the lions mouths. Then Darius brought all of Daniels accusers and had them thrown into

    the lions den, and they were promptly eaten.

    Looking back, Daniel himself had a dream, before the fall of Babylon, of four beasts coming up

    from the Sea, these beasts, paralleling Nebuchadnezzars great image, were the nations whowould persecute Israel. The Lion, as the king of beasts, represents Babylon or Nebuchadnezzar,

    the greatest of the gentile nations. The bear, represented Medo-Persia. The leopard represented

    Greece. The wings of a fowl represented the division of Alexander the Greats kingdom given to

    his four generals, of which the Seleucid portion of that kingdom, being where the antichrist will

    come from. The antichrist may not directly come from this area but his ancestry will go back to

    this area which includes the current nations of Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, etc. The antichrist is

    also called an Assyrian. The fourth beast, exceedingly great, with great iron teeth, represents

    the Roman empire. Then we see the ten horns of this beast representing the revived Roman

    empire, same as the ten toes of Nebuchadnezzars image. Then we see a little horn, that

    uprooted three horns. This is the antichrist, who comes on the scene and takes the place of, or

    uproots, three of the kingdoms of the revived Roman empire.

    The associations that I have indicated in Daniels prophetic visions are not a new thing. You can

    go to most any commentary and the relationships between the beasts, or Nebuchadnezzars great

    image, and the nations that I have indicated, have been seen and taught on thoroughly. What I

    have done is to give you an overview of these relationships, for in this study, an in depth

    commentary on the associations would only serve to make this study tedious. If you areinterested in further explanations, just pick up most any commentary on Daniel. Daniel is often

    referred to as the Revelation of the old testament. There are many parallels and correlations

    between the two books. What I want to do now is to go to Revelation and show you one particular

    parallel that is relevant to our study.

    In Revelation, chapter 13 we read. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise

    up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns, ten crowns, and upon his

    heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as

    the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion, and the dragon gave him his power and

    his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death, and his

    deadly wound was healed, and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the

    dragon which gave power unto the beast, and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto

    the beast? Who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking

    great things and blasphemies, and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

    And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle,

    and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to

    overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds and tongues, and nations. And all thatdwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the

    Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that

    leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with

    the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

    In 1956, a group of the elite and rich of the world, calling themselves interestingly, the Club of

    Rome, decided to divide the world into ten economic centers, even calling them Kingdoms. This

    was the beginning of GATT, resulting in the world trade agreements that are now in place all over

    the world. What this treaty did, was to create a world government, that has authority over thenational governments of the world, regulating trade between the nations. They decided to place

    over this Ten toed kingdom seven judges, who had the final say and authority, over all the world

    powers.

    The beast in the above scripture, is the antichrist. He is like Babylon, Greece, and Rome. He

    comes on the scene in an atmosphere of a one-world government, or at least the beginnings of

    one. This government is divided into ten kingdoms, and is ruled by seven leaders. Now the judges

    of GATT, may or may not be these seven heads, but there will be seven heads to this beast. Manycommentaries have these heads as the successive world power leaders, such as

    Nebuchadnezzar, Darius, Alexander the Great, etc. These leaders have that same Spirit of

    Babylon, the satanic influence driving them to world domination in government, economy, and

    religion. I believe that it could be both, the current judges, along with the antichrist types. The

    last head, that has the mortal wound that was healed, is the final true antichrist himself. He will

    imitate the resurrection of Jesus, claiming himself as the Christ. Satan, that Great Red

    Dragon himself will give unto the antichrist his power. His rule will be for forty two months, or

    for the first three and a half years of the Great Tribulation, and then during the last half of the

    Great Tribulation, Gods wrath will be poured out on this earth. This last antichrist, cant come onthe scene, or this leader will not be indwelt by Satan, with the full power of the antichrist, until

    He that letteth, meaning holding back, is taken out of the way. The Holy Spirit, will be taken

    from the earth, with all true believers, and then that man of sin will be revealed to the world.

    God has given each true believer the Holy Spirit to dwell within us as the earnest of our

    inheritance, and God is not about to take that free gift away from us, and leave us here on earth

    without our Comforter. We will go out in the rapture, when the Holy Spirit is taken out. The

    Saints that this beast engages, are the new believers, including the 144,000 sealed ones from

    the tribes of Israel. The Holy Spirit will then work as He did in the Old Testament times, coming

    upon individuals instead of Him being a worldwide influence which impedes that Man of Sin.These new believers, taken by surprise at the disappearance of all true believers, then finally

    make the choice to be Christian, however they will have to go through this, Jacobs time of

    trouble, and resist even unto death, in order to be truly saved. There will be, however, a great

    multitude that will be saved during the Great Tribulation, so even our loved ones that have not

    taken that leap of faith, will still have one more chance.

    Then we get to verse 11. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had

    two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the firstbeast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast,

    whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down

    from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the

    means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that

    dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword,

    and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the

    beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast

    should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive

    a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he thathad the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom, Let him that

    hath understanding, count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man, and his number

    is Six hundred threescore and six.

    This beast coming up out of the earth, is the false prophet. He is a religious leader, for he

    speaks as a lamb, or as Christ. He causes everyone to worship the antichrist, and receive his

    mark in order to buy or sell. This false prophet, exerciseth all the power of the first beast. The

    first beast, or antichrist, has much power on the earth, but he doesnt enforce his authority until

    the false prophet comes in play. The GATT treaty, actually has a provision within, that states

    that the participating nations must assign a Tax identification number to each individual within

    the nations. And that, no one may buy or sell unless they have this number. This decree is not

    enforced totally yet, but will be. The relationship between the GATT treaty, which comprises

    many trade agreements all over the world such as NAFTA, SAFTA, etc., and this first beast, is

    obvious to anyone that has Eyes to see and ears to hear.

    So what does these things have to do with this Mystery Babylon, which is the subject of this

    letter. First, there will be a literal city or nation called Babylon the Great that will bedestroyed during the Great Tribulation. Personally, I dont see the ancient city of Babylon, rising

    from the ashes, and becoming this great worldwide capital, although I guess it is possible. What I

    see, is that the greatest nation that is ruling, or at least having more influence than any other

    nation on earth, is Babylon the Great. It seems obvious that the United States fits the bill. This

    nation comprises all religions, and nationalities, and at one time was feared and adored by all

    nations. Obama, in talking to Muslims, which I personally believe that he is one secretly, said that

    the United States is no longer a Christian nation. He also just recently eliminated the national

    day of prayer, which was instituted by our early Christian leaders. So in the US, we have a

    global power, same as Babylon, supporting a one world government, same as Babylon, supportingany religion, which will evolve into a World Religion, same as Babylon, and supporting a worldwide

    financial system put in place through GATT. This same spirit of Babylon exists today, through the

    leaders, the richest elite, and their agendas, as it existed in the ancient city of Babylon.

    There are the New World Order supporters, which consists of several groups. The Council on

    Foreign Relations, the Tri-Lateral Commission, the World Bank, the World Council of Churches,

    GATT, the G20, and others. Other organizations that support these same agendas, are the

    Freemasons, or the Masonic Order, the Illuminati, the Skull and Bones Society. The MasonicOrder is not a Christian fraternity. They will accept anyone, who worships any God, any Messiah

    or religious leader, even Satan himself. There is also an inner core who worship Lucifer, even

    calling him the god of goodness and light, and calling Adonai the god of darkness and evil. Most

    Christian masons, do not even read their own books, and have no idea that they are actually

    supporting this inner core of Satanic worshippers. The Freemasons have members within every

    nation, and most of the world rulers are also masons. Even the Catholic church has many members

    who are masons. Pope John Paul once stated that he was afraid that the next pope could be

    aligned with the antichrist, because there were many bishops and cardinals who deny that Jesus

    came in the flesh, which is the spirit of antichrist. He also made statements that blessescommunists, calls all religions as good as the next, and kisses the Koran. And our current Pope

    Benedict, has just called for a global authority, or bank, that would be in charge of the economies

    of the nations of the world. The leaders of nations that do not see eye to eye with this one

    world order, are finding themselves pushed out of office. Even at the newest G20 summit, there

    is a banner behind them that reads Nouveau Monde, which means literally New World Order.

    People, listen to me. This world is uniting together, having one voice, one religion supporting

    many gods, one economy, and government. They are building a figurative, Tower of Babel, and

    are trying to dethrone God. God will not let this go on for long, and is about to intervene. Time is

    short and the sh*t is about to hit the fan.

    Now, getting down to the nitty gritty and to the subject of this letter, identifying this Mystery

    Babylon.

    Revelation 17: And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked

    with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore

    that sitteth upon many waters: 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. So he

    carried me away in the spirit unto the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured

    beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the wonan was arrayed

    in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden

    cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was

    a name written, MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS ANDABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints,

    and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great

    admiration. And the angel said unto me, wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery

    of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. The

    beast that thou sawest was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into

    perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names are not written in the book

    of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and

    yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which

    the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yetcome, and when he cometh he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not,

    even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou

    saweth are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings on hour

    with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

    These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords,

    and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. And he said

    unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes,

    and nations and tongues. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate

    the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the

    beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great

    city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

    There are 13 reasons that prove beyond a doubt that this Mystery Babylon is not a literal

    city, but a religious system. Information taken from Dakes Annotated reference Bible.

    1: Playing the Whore, in symbolic meaning always refers to religious fornication and idolatry.

    2: Her causing many nations to commit fornication with her proves that idolatrous religious

    practices are being referred to.

    3; She is not identified with the kings of the earth, which indicates that she is not a political

    power, but her influence is through religion.

    4: The beast she rides is the 8th kingdom, made up of many peoples or nations, and her riding

    this beast shows us her religious influence over these peoples and nations.

    5: Her attire of this whore, indicates not only that she is a religious system, but also an

    extremely wealthy religious system.

    6: The golden cup in her hand, full of her uncleanness, and spiritual fornication and abominations,

    show her to be a religious system through which she dupes the worldly political powers.

    7: Her name, Mystery Babylon, indicates that she is not the literal Babylon. It also refers to

    the Mystery Religions, of ancient Babylon. The ancient mystery religions started by Nimrod and

    his queen Semiramis spread among all nations. Their worship included worshipping the Supreme

    Father, the Queen of Heaven, and her Son. The cult claimed the highest wisdom and divine

    secrets. Julius Caesar became the head of this Babylonian cult in AD 63, other emperors held

    the office until AD 376, when the emperor Gratian, for Christian reasons refused it because hesaw the practices as idolatrous. Demasus, bishop of the Christian church at Rome was elected to

    the headship in AD 378, and from there, Babylonianism and organized Christianity became one.

    The rites of Babylon were soon introduced into the Christian worship. The heathen temples were

    restored and beautified, and their rituals were encouraged. These rites included the worship and

    veneration of images, saints, relics, private confessions, penances, scourging, pilgrimages, the

    sign of the Cross, Christmas, Lady Day, Good Friday, Lent, and other pagan festivals soon became

    a part of Christian worship.

    8: The name, Mother of Harlots, also referring to her as a religious system, and Harlots

    referring to the many branches that became as apostate as the great whore herself.

    9: The name, Mother of Abominations of the Earth, also refers to her as a religious system

    that fosters and encourages idolatry and spiritual fornication.

    10: Her drunkenness, being drunk with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus proves beyond a doubt

    that she is a religious institution. Only religion has killed Christians throughout history. The

    governments may have carried out much of the killing, but it was at the behest of the Church.

    11: The hatred and destruction of her by the 10 Kings, indicate her religious character,

    dominating and influencing the last world order, until they tire of her and give their power to the

    antichrist.12: The woman is sitting on the beast itself and not on the heads or horns in succession. The

    heads and horns are part of the beast, and only in that aspect is she riding the heads. It is clear

    that she is not part of the empire, but has a mighty influence on it.

    13: The angels interpretation of her having a kingdom over the kingdoms of the earth, indicate

    her religious rule over these 10 kingdoms. Interestingly, the Vatican, which resides within a

    nation, is a nation itself with its own government and laws totally separate and not controlled by

    any other nation.

    It is clear by the above, that the organized Catholic church, along with I believe the leadership

    of the protestant church, are none other than this harlot. We are told to, Come out of her. Not

    that we should leave the church, but we should not allow any leadership of the church and their

    rules, regulations, and implemented feasts, to be what we place our faith in. There is but one way

    to the Father, and that is through Christ himself. We need not to pray to saints, confess our sins

    to priests, and other such Babylonian religious practices, including the way communion is ordered

    by the church. The wafers used in the catholic church and many protestant churches, are

    identical to the wafers used in the sun worship that originated in Babylon. Jesus took bread, and

    broke it, typifying his broken body. These symbols are types, and are not intended to be themanifestation of the actual blood and body of Christ. Jesus blood was in his veins, and his body

    not yet broken when he told us to partake of the elements, and should be seen as a symbol of

    what he did on the cross.

    The world is quickly being transformed into the ten toed kingdom of the antichrist, and every

    where you look, it is obvious to those that are called, and have eyes to see and ears to hear.

    Jesus wants us to look to him and him alone as the author and finisher of our faith. Worship Him

    in Spirit and Truth, ignoring the commands of the elite of the world. What truly can they do tous. I will keep stepping on the toes of organized religion, and spreading truth. They have already

    taken my son, and tried to kill me as well. One day they may succeed, but as a seeker of truth, no

    matter what they do to me, I will continue to shout from the rooftops the true way of salvation.

    With Love in Christ,
