Mystery Babylon........USA | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1534475 United States 09/23/2011 11:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I believe that Mystery Babylon is the USA. It fits all of the descriptions in the bible. Quoting: Lisa*Lisa I believe that the Whore of Babylon is the goddess Libertas. [link to en.wikipedia.org] This country worships "lady liberty" which is an ancient goddess, a pagan god. Our statue of liberty is a representation of that pagan god. Check out this article and the detailed info below and decide for yourself. WHAT OR WHO IS "MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATION OF THE EARTH." "Understanding who the players are is essential if you are to come to an understanding of the truth of Scripture and Prophecy. In the process we need to recall that The Christ warned His followers of "Deception" and that it would be the Key to the rise of Anti-christ.That means that "Anti-christ" comes to power in a place not recognised, at a time not recognised and in a manner not recognised. A deception so great and so far reaching that today few christians would actually know who they worship or indeed what worship actually means in Scripture. I believe the prophetic world today is in a DEEP DELUSION, as their attention is drawn to the wrong area for the rise of "MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATION OF THE EARTH" and anti-christ forces. We begin with an understanding what The Lord identifed the chief player of end times as being - MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATION OF THE EARTH, that mighty nation that thinks it's life is eternal and who refuses to believe that she will ever see sorrow. To locate this Beast we need to find Her roots and follow these roots through the ages and the simplest and in fact the only way to do that is to play a game of "follow that god". The god in question has many names but she must root right back to Babylon and then to this present today. Her name is Ishtar and she is the chief goddess of the Babylonian kingdom ... she was the goodess of Liberty and also therefore the goddess of slaves ... they were known to pray to her for liberation. There are many statues of Ishtar holding a torch and I have seen an embossed stone relief found a decade ago in Iraq that pictured her with the spikes or spears coming from her head. Ishtar is the Assyrian and Babylonian counterpart to the Sumerian Inanna and to the cognate northwest Semitic goddess Astarte. Anunit, Atarsamain and Esther are alternative names for Ishtar. It is historyicly recognised that those who worship this demon god do so by way of worshiping Freedom ... "Freedom" is the form of worship this demonic spirit demands." Read the entire article here: [link to www.iron-clay.com] You are not even close, yet your mind has much potential. See, it's this way; power is what the so call elites holds. And, how do they hold this power over most of us? Take this for an example; you believe and most of the world believes and follows a diverse of religions. That same world, which hold to its religions, no matter, that these religions that are practice were manufactured for our complete control. Thus for, you are never able to overcome their mind control; how could you go against them, without going against your god. "Now you know the rest of the story." NOW FOR THE TRUTH, "THE POWER TO BE" or (TPTB), please do not faint right this moment. YOU, YOU are the one, who follows and practice an occult, manufactured belief. They, TPTB, have had the power for more than 2000 years, because they learned the truth and they are keeping it from the masses. The biggest keep secret, which is not a secret, but is in plane view for the whole world to see, is what you call the occult. This "cult" you call it, is on public display everywhere. This power that they have over the masses is MISS-EDUCATION. This cult, which you call it, goes back to ancient Africa belief, more than 10,000 years; and all of today’s major religions in the world now, came through ancient Egypt via Africa. Here is a small piece of advice, yes, the above is factual and historically true, but, if you want to keep your friends and family in tact, it is best that you stay in that belief-you are professing today, which those around you think that you should be in, or you will pay a high personal price. May be it will be too high for you. Many who seek this knowledge end up with great powers of freedom and they become one with God, yet broken family ties. Why is that? I will use this example from the KING JAMES BIBLE-to communicate to you in your language: Jesus asked this of god for his disciples before he ascending to heaven, ‘Oh father protect them who you have given unto me, FOR THEY HAVE BECOME LIKE US, THEY ARE IN THE WORLD BUT THEY ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD. All Jesus was saying is this; they know the truth and the truth have made them free. Hotep |

ChivalryKnight The "lost" tribes of Israel=Europe! User ID: 1552758 United States 09/23/2011 11:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just to keep it in context... there were captives of the Holy Seed in ancient Babylon (the tribes) and there is a set apart people within the confines of global Babylon today. We are called to come out of her as best as we can. For some that might be leaving a city, for others it might be instructing children at home and leaving the corporate 501C-3 mind controlled churches. Babylon takes on many forms and facets yet The Father still has a people that are not bowing their knees to Balaam even to this day! Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Those at His coming will be resurrected/transformed to spirit (no longer physical). As in Adam (physical) all men die, and as in Jesus (those that belong to God) shall be spirit and eternal. The entire sytems of man and the god of this world (satan) are mystery babylon. |

Quoting: APOLLO ILLUMINAUGHTY USA is both, She is also New Jerusalem New Jer-USA-lem There is prophecy of both Christ and Antichrist being born on USA soil One problem with that. Christ doesn't live in this dimension. He will not be born into human form again. When He returns it will be as the sun rises in the east. He will decimate the forces a Babylon martialled for war against Israel, afterwards setting foot on the Mount of Olives cleaving it into a valley. He will not be born anywhere. According to scripture. ^^^this^^^ All Knights Templars and Secret Societies dont think so. Its all based on the alignment of the Stars and Astrotheology Jesus has been reborn. And most likely its a descendant since Jesus had kids Biggest coverup of them all by the church. but it was to protect the Bloodline I'm not buying it! Especially coming from the occult- secret societies and Knights Templars... come on now? The Holy Bible is The Word of God. I'll stick with that! |
Guildenstern User ID: 1552352 United States 09/23/2011 11:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The use of the female image has usually meant to be a companion, often symbolic of religious institutions. Beasts have always represented kingdoms. So, I'm not entirely sure this is something you should be completely convinced off. If you read Revelation, it sounds more like an apostate type of organization. This video is actually somewhat more accurate, I think: [link to www.youtube.com] describing it as the Catholic Church. Remember, everyone rejoices at its destruction. We will see soon enough, for the Wild Beast will completely consume her and burn her with fire. Whoever this organization is, we will have better insight after it happens. What we have here are good theories. I'm going to stick to the Catholic Church theory. It has defiled itself with Paganistic teachings as early as the 4th century. It became an "empire" by which many martyrs were slain for translating the Bible and trying to promote God's word. Judge for yourselves. |

The USA is not the only killer of the prophets if she ever was. That sounds like false religion. The RCC is known to have been a killer of prophets among other religions. And if you believe the USA is Babylon then you better get out of her and leave soon. False religion is easier to get out of IMO. |

wing-ed User ID: 1474169 United States 09/23/2011 11:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Satan said to God you have a hedge around America on every side ! You have blessed their work they have done and increased thier substance in their land ! But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that they hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine house: And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The factories were manufacturing, and the farms were growing crops ! And the Globalist and took them away to another land yea, they have put all the workers on welfare and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned Texas, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chinese made out three bands, and fell upon the car makers, and have carried them away, yea, and laid off the workers; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in the Twin Towers: And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the towers, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. Then some arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. Or maybe they sought revenge and committed the most horrendous murders !! In that case Satan wins and Americans lose salvation ! Think About it ?? Praise The Holy Of Holy !! Praise The Lamb :: Job was before the Lamb opened the door !! Amen We need Jesus Now !! Holy, holy,holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.Praise the one who gives you peace beyond all understanding Yes that scripture still sounds good ! |

I have considered the Babylon aspect of our culture which in many contexts fits but at this time I reject the USA as being represented in the passages cited.
