Discuss Revelation 18 Page 3

  • Richard H Priday - In Reply on Revelation 18 - 3 years ago
    There are a number of books on the subject; although other than "The two Babylons" regarding the spiritual and economic ones; the names escape me at present. There are many scriptures in the O.T. particularly in Jeremiah that seem to indicate America indeed is being referred to. The land "divided by rivers" which has a mixture of people or a melting pot is indicated. It seems that people in the land were said to know the Lord; and yet the occult is something present simultaneously. Revelation itself seems to show that the fornication and great wealth was the history of Babylon; as well as a military might "the hammer of the earth". We currently have over 800 military bases worldwide; and the fact that we have suffered no direct war on our mainland except for the 911 event may make some think we are indestructible. But we have fomented pornography and violence through the internet to the world; as well as established occultic symbolism in Wash. D.C. with the design of the Pentagon; the Washington Monument and the street grid. NYC clearly is an economic hub and it appears that ever rising stocks in the last generation are vastly overdue for a fall. The whole world economic system is tied into our trade (i.e. stock exchange) which truly would wail at the downfall. There is; of course the one world religion planned for Abu Dhabi as well s a city 30 times bigger with drones than NYC. The Pope is behind this; as well as the Temple being rebuilt by Turkey; and Saudi Arabia. So there could be multiple locations; and worldwide ramifications wherever Babylon is. Our country is; however divided by rivers unlike those parts of the world we have MANY waters; and coastlines. Merchants of Tarshish (Spain); and the young lions thereof in the isles could be vague references to the USA as well having come from England.

    Dear "Barbara Kuks", in peace we get to read the rest of the chapter and understand that this unfortunately no longer exists in our world. Horses and carriages, (forces and cars)? Have you read the whole chapter? Today there are many big cities. Are there really harpists, musicians, flute players and trumpet players, And the sound of millstones in NY? Would it be possible to hear these instruments through the noise of the city? And what kind of sorcery is there in the city? Which is not also found everywhere on earth today. This is not an end-time story for one city. Wake up now! The words speak to us all, repentance is necessary.

    In verse 8 we can imagine the unrest coming. For here is the Lord God judging her. The unrest we can think about is atomic bombs. But then the whole earth will go, not just one city.

    I pray for all of us that we will have revelation and the spirit of truth in our hearts. John 8:31-36 So that we can know the depth and height, the length and breadth of the whole Word of God. Ephesians 3:8 Which to me is alive and sharp, a somewhat double-edged sword. Hebrew 4:12-13

    Be blessed dear ones, repent and be baptized in the Lord Jesus Christ and you and your house will be saved. Acts 16:31
  • Barbara Kuks on Revelation 18 - 3 years ago
    Do you believe that this Babylon referred to in Rev. 18 is the United States/ New York ? It seems the only entity in the world that fits the description. Also it is not referred to in end times scenarios.

    The End of Days,

    It took you longer to see the tidings, but you are coming around. Before, and for the past year, you denied what you now are saying to be truth. That goes to say that only God can show you the way, when your time comes.

    God says the day of the Lord attack is "UPON MY PEOPLE". Ezekiel 21:12 God calls the northern tribes "Israel", the lower 3 tribes, "Judah" America, from its origin, is a co-birthright tribe, son of Joseph, Genesis 48 The same attack is also portrayed against Mystery Babylon, so if you are weighing the end-time narrative out, you'll see that Mystery Babylon (and it's allies) = Israel = America. Judah is invaded, Joel 3:1, at the same time America falls.

    America was envisioned as a shining star for the nations, but its star has fallen. The woman, America, became a whore, unrighteous, fomenting modern day Sodom and Gomorrah, the antithesis of what God intended. Therefore, God brings forth Russia to destroy them, Isaiah 47 This coming attack is similar to when Assyria took "Israel" captives in 721 BC, or "Judah" being taken by Nebuchadnezzar in 604 BC.

    Noah escaped the flood in a boat, Lott was rescued from Sodom and Gomorrah, the Israelites in Egypt covered their doorways from death. It is America that the beast Russia destroys within 1 hour, and the only cure is to leave. You have been warned to not partake in her plagues, Revelation 18:4, you have choice. The next big event is Revelation 6:14, the "scroll". If you know what's coming afterwards, it's up to you to prepare an exit.

    Revelation 18:1-24

    I just saw a link on here pointing at America as being the subject of these verses.

    I never saw this before now. But we are seeing this as our nation is sliding into Apostasy. Leaders are persecuting Israel instead of blessing it.

    Pandemics, incredible escalation of crimes and violence. ( Google crime in Seattle and Portland. It boggles the mind, the results of defunding police and forcing emergency services to be vaccinated or they are fired.

    We have this unfounded optimism that things will soon return back to normal. However, Bible Prophesy is beginning to repel that optimism. I don't think "we" can fix this or stop it's momentum. Our communities may seem Safe to us and our children, but reality is on the evening news every day.

    Our nation voted for this and we are stuck with that action. A whole nation would have to repent in sackcloth and ashes to turn this momentum [like Nineveh in the Bible].

    Evangelize your loved ones now.

    If you don't have any prophesy books handy, you can watch some Nelson Walters videos on YouTube, when you read daily news. Israel is the "Apple" of Gods eye.

    Keep your eyes on that. What's happening there. Read Matthew 24 and Luke 21.

    Jesus IS the 2nd ARK. We must be in Christ to survive. There are unbelievable disasters going on, all over the earth. Google that, every week.

    People: it's not about GLOBAL WARMING. "Green Deals" will not fix it. 2 PETER 3, days it's all going to Burn. The earth is heating up by the Word of God. It is happening now. Disasters will increase. Forests will burn. Icebergs will melt and raise sea levels. Move to higher ground NOW. Move out of the forests. Big cities don't have enough money or votes to stop the crime. Move!

    EVANGELIZE those that you love. I'm doing what God told me to do. PLEASE check this information out for yourself.

    I say this with much love and concern for everyone. Let's not watch the clock zero out.

    According to Strongs Exhaustive Concordance of the KJV Bible there are three variant Greek words translated devils.

    The root word in his Greek dictionary of the New Testament is:

    1142.

    Transliteration daimn (Key)

    Pronunciation dah'-ee-mown

    Part of Speech masculine/feminine noun

    Root Word (Etymology) From daio (to distribute fortunes)

    a daemon or super-natural spirit (of a bad nature); - devil.

    Matthew 8:31; Mark 5:12; Revelation 16:14; Revelation 18:2.

    1139.

    Transliteration daimonizomai (Key)

    Pronunciation dahee-mon-id'-zom-ahee

    Part of Speech verb

    Root Word (Etymology) Middle voice from (G1142)

    to be exercised by a daemon;-have a (be vexed with, be possessed with) devil (-s).

    Matthew 4:24; Matthew 8:16; Matthew 8:28; Mark 1:32; Luke 4:36

    1140.

    Transliteration daimonion (Key)

    Pronunciation dahee-mon'-ee-on

    Part of Speech neuter noun

    Root Word (Etymology) Neuter of a derivative of (G1142)

    a demonic being; by extension a diety:-devil, god.

    Matthew 7:22; Matthew 9:34; Matthew 10:8; Matthew 12:24,27,28; Mark 1:34,39; Mark 3:15,22; Mark 6:13; Mark 9:38; Mark 16:9,17; Luke 4:41; Luke 8:2,27,30,33,35,38; Luke 9:1,49; Luke 10:17; Luke 12:15,18,19,20; Luke 13:32; 1 Corinthians 10:20-21; 1 Timothy 4:1; James 2:19; Revelation 9:20.

    demon - The Modern English word demon derives from the Middle English demon: from medieval Latin demon, from Latin daemon, from Greek daimn 'deity, genius'; in demon; also from Latin daemonium 'lesser or evil spirit', from Greek daemonion, diminutive of daimn.

    devils - The Modern English word devil derives from the Middle English devel, from the Old English dofol, that in turn represents an early Germanic borrowing of the Latin diabolus.

    The KJV translation is not a word for word or uniquely and infallible inspired representation of the Greek New Testament, and we should be cautious in choosing which English words in it we want to make our hills to die on without first consulting the Greek.

    Free,

    We envision 2 different end-time scenes for society. You are truly an optimist.

    The day of the Lord is cruel and for America, there will be nothing left, not one brick left upon another.

    The boaters will wear Covid 19 masks when passing by for the stank.

    Who am I to tell, that will have depth to believe what I'm saying?

    Everyone I know spiritually dances to their own tune. A spell.

    No one I know says they are worried about my warning Ezekiel 33:1-7

    Should I stay to tell everyone that didn't believe me, that I was right?

    I don't mind dying, but not that way, in 2,000 degree flames.

    I have choice. Revelation 18:4
  • Aaron - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Free,

    I live in the US, but all the signs, the tidings ( Ezekiel 21:7) tell me to get out so I don't partake in her bombings ( Revelation 18:4). Why would God instruct that if He didn't mean it? God told Noah to build an ark to escape the flood, God saw that Lott was taken out of Sodom and Gomorrah before it's destruction; there is a pattern here.

    You know the US is never going to stop pushing the king of the north ( Daniel 11:40) until ( Obadiah 1) settles in.

    I have been looking at English speaking areas of the Caribbean Islands, but so far it all seems iffy? I also risk danger when the world is wobbling ( Isaiah 24:20) and I'm rounded up and put in a cage for being Christian.
  • Leslie - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Well, how would you interpret Revelation 18:23 then? Bc God is talking about the tradesmen of the world and medicine/Medication- Pharma-Kia that's in the Strongs Concordance Exhaustive Dictionary. I'm a dedicated Bible studier and study with a really great teacher. I've done my research on viruses and not one scientist can prove viruses exist. They say it to deceive. Even the Spanish flu. I've don't my research. I have never been sick my entire 48 years of life. The only vaccines I've ever had were when I was a baby and kid. I've never had the flu nor the covid lie. I do know for a fact that my granddaughter had never had the so called flu until she got the vaccine for it and got it immediately after getting the shot. She got it 3 times that year and almost died. It's fine you want to believe the lies that are going around but as Christians we are to open our spiritual eyes to be able to see the things God talks about. Like I said there are plagues. But God never mentioned people spreading a plague to one another. You have to separate yourself from this world and totally connect to God to be able to see what I see. I don't take credit for what I see I give the credit to God. I'm not like the rest of this world. I don't believe everything that is being said and I don't watch the news. God said you can't serve 2 masters. His children are not of the world they are of Him. I do my best to obey and keep His commandments. I also believe in anointing bc that's being obedient to God. So therefore I have anointed myself and my house, and I have that shield of protection around me. I am covered by the blood of the lamb. You have to decide for yourself who you believe. You either believe God or man. You're either of the world or of God. And many Christians can't go as deep and some. God has the blinded for a reason. I put all my faith and trust in God. But you have to ask yourself one question, where did all these so called viruses come from? They didn't appear out of nowhere.
  • Leslie - 3 years ago
    I do not believe the virus is real. I keep going back to Revelation 18:23 Merchants in Greek is tradesmen. Sorceries in Greek is medicine/medication. They are making a killing off this covid and vaccines. It's nothing but lies to put money in their greedy pockets. I also don't believe viruses are real. Scientists have never ever proven a virus that can spread from on person to another. I do believe it's the 5G technology which has radiation and heavy metals in it. That's what's making everyone sick. God made our bodies to fight off stuff and yes we get sick. Bit He did not create them to spread sicknesses to other people. Please think about this. Satan is controlling everything and he's fixing to cast to this earth. Don't be deceived about what's going on. God bless!!
  • Dr. Lyle Lee on Isaiah 47 - 3 years ago
    Isaiah 47:7-9 these few versus are all about the Lord Jesus Christ and the day he would be killed by his wife, God married Israel as his wife, and they said in their heart I shall never be a widow, the reason is my husband can never die. But God said to the mother of harlots from Revelation 18:7 and through the prophet Isaiah two things will happen to you in one day. The day you kill your husband the Lord Jesus Christ, you shall become a widow, in that day you shall know the loss of Children, for their boast was that they could never have loss of children because God promised Abraham, his seed would be like the sand of the sea and the stars of heaven. Yet when the Lord Jesus died, in that died Israel stopped producing children for God through a genealogy, now you must be born again to become a child of God and Israel rejects that truth, therefore have they become a widow and childless, in one day.
  • L. LM. on Jeremiah 50:34 - 3 years ago
    The United States of America fits every description of Jeremiah Chapters 50 and Chapter 51. Also Revelation Chapter 18, and Isaiah Chapter 47. Instructions for Gods people is to flee out of her to not receive of her plagues or destruction. Jeremiah 51:45 and Revelation 18:4-5. Ancient Babylon was surrounded by the desert in Iraq. Modern Babylon, The United States of America is surrounded by waters. Jeremiah 51:13, Revelation 18:17-19 trades by the sea. Time to pray for the people of America and that your steps are ordered by the Lord. For the time is short! Pray also that America does not betray Israel anytime soon or this will happen sooner and not later. One last thing, Modern Babylon, America has a mother, England or the U.K. Jeremiah 50:12.
  • The Remnant of Yah on Ecclesiasticus 12:6 - 3 years ago
    Answering some questions (just a passerby looking for something) and thought I'd offer some unsolicited thoughts.

    Q: "I never understand Why people want to know what Not Canonized scripture means?

    WHY is not the King James Bible good enough for you?"

    A:The Apocrypha was in the King James Bible up until the 19th century and in speaking of Ecclesiasticus, it was regarded as practical wisdom in the least and holy writ at most depending on which church "father" you regard. James, as in the brother of our Messiah, for instance, appears to reference the book several times in his epistle.

    Next question...

    Who is Esau? Two passages and one non-Biblical source to get your journey started...

    1) Ezekiel 35

    2) Obadiah

    3) The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Volume 5, page 41...

    And you will have your answer...there is a reason why Yahushua (Jesus) said these things:

    Matthew 12:34

    34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

    And John the Baptist said it as well - arriving to TWO WITNESSES.

    And this:

    John 7:19

    19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

    -------------------

    And ultimately, Jesus uses the same exact language to accuse the Pharisees as He does to mystery Babylon (which is the rulers of our generation - exciting times!):

    Matthew 23:35

    35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

    Revelation 16:6

    6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

    Revelation 18:24

    24 And in her was found the BLOOD OF PROPHETS, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth...

    And oh so much more if one had a mind to just look!

    You're welcome!

    Is babylon considered the united states? i have heard this and to me

    it does seem like we are the babylon. i'm a catholic and we were never taught to actually read the bible.

    i have many christian friends that feel we have been deceived and that the vaccines are the mark.... that the filth, ( pornography...child trafficking, the satanic rituals) and ungodly behaviour...(proven from eyewitnesses whistleblowers ) by our world leaders participating ( yes, in us, rome etc )

    has been allowed by us... with no challenge... we have with our apathy and .. acquiesced, and as a result, have ignored these worldly evils, thus god and the angels are angry...our destiny will be god's rath...... our beautiful world has ... been dominated by the evil one...the devil.. i pray for the world

    are we the us babylon?

    thank you,

    Why there are people who refused to received the mark of the beast? It is because they just followed on what stated in revelation 18:4, thus; they were no longer involved or connected in any religious,political,and commercial organizations who imposes systems that manipulated and exploited humankind.Why they followed revelation 18:4? It is because almighty god shows mercy on them.( romans 9;15,16,18) and he wrotes to them his laws on their heart and mind ( hebrews 8:10,11) and he separated them from those who have mark of the beast ( romans 11:4).

  • Jesse - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Earl,

    The word torment used in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus is the Greek word BASANOIS. The meaning from Greek to English would pretty much be the same as what we would understand torment to be. Whether it is mental anguish or physical torment, I think it can be both. It seemed to be both for the rich man. He seemed to be in a state of mental torment knowing that his family members (brothers) would soon be in this same place unless someone went to warn them. We also know that he was in physical torment, wanting the tip of his tongue to be cooled. Can you imagine that? Here is a man in physical torment and all he asks is for the tip of his tongue to be cooled. He didn't ask for someone to throw him a rope so he could get out!

    We also know that there is a place of eternal torment called the lake of fire. To tell you how the word torment is used in other verses would take a tremendous amount of time and space. That's a huge favor. I don't mind sharing my understanding with you but I'm not sure I want to tackle that one. The short answer is that the word torment means pretty much the same in English as it does in Greek.

    For the rich man in Hades, he's still in torment. One day he will be released, judged at the Great White Throne Judgement, and then cast into the lake of fire, a place of eternal torment.

    Sorry I couldn't give you more. If you want the verses to look them up, here are the ones I found:

    Matthew 8:29, Mark 5:7, Luke 8:28, Luke 16:28, 1 John 4:18, Revelation 9:5, Revelation 14:11, Revelation 18:7, Revelation 18:10, Revelation 18:15
  • Chris Holt - In Reply on Revelation 13:16 - 3 years ago
    The Bible is true, and it is certain that the mark of the beast is not the vaccine, nor is it the testing for C19.

    The Bible tells us that the mark of the beast will be received willingly, but the vast majority who will receive it, will know nothing about it until it is too late.

    In Revelation 18:23 we find the following text which is referring to modern day Babylon.

    "for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived."

    This word "sorceries" is strongs G5331 "pharmakeia" which is where the English word pharmacy has its roots.

    The Biblical meaning in a nutshell, is the use or the administering of drugs.

    There can be no doubt that the use and administering of drugs is one of the means by which the serpent uses to deceive "all nations."

    And by this text we can know for sure that all the nations will be deceived into receiving the mark of the beast, but it is not the mark of the beast in and of itself.

    We know this because the mark of the beast is determined by whom we worship.

    The controversy which began in heaven was between Christ and Satan, and it is over the worship that rightfully belongs to Christ; it is that which Satan covets. The one thing that Satan desired from Christ when He came to the earth was His worship; and Satan was prepared to give everything for it. Matthew 4:8-9 proves this point, as does the following.

    "If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation."[ Rev. 14:9, 10.] See also Revelation 13:15.

    And so it is by worshipping the beast that we give homage to the god of this world, and in so doing we will receive his mark.

    Our attention therefore, should be upon receiving the mark or the seal of the living God, for if we have His seal, then we shall never receive the mark of the beast.

    Bob,

    You have a point there, and if the plan is kept simple, it will work. I'm participating in my own experiment that started 2020-current where I avoid societies wheels completely. I've changed my hours, I sleep 8am-2pm; it's a beautiful thing. Grocery store shopping at night is awesome, working out, studying. Everything at night is free with no one around to rip me off, which will be dangerous, I carry. I taught myself many new things on the 3rd shift. I don't have to process the filth of a 9 to 5 routine. Friends, enemies, come and go, so I rely on me. I'm 26, educated, making good money in stocks, no wife to divorce, living pain free, and reading the Word on the down low.

    OSEAS,

    Your examples of Noah and Lott miss the point Jesus was making.

    Jesus is describing the day of the Lord, the worst day in the history of the world, when God's beast army (Gog) (Esau) (king of the north) defeats His people, Israel (whomever they are). The Bible repeats the same narrative from different angles, and why anti-christ, and other figures, have so many parallels. Jesus is preparing you for what's coming. All activity ceased the day Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed the taken. Jesus is warning you of the coming abomination of desolation, absorbed by both houses of Israel. Jesus is spiritually saying ( Revelation 18:4)
  • Robert Necomb on Revelation 18 - 3 years ago
    Look how these 2 end-time scriptures intertwine, like most all can. The description of Babylon sounds like a familiar nation, arrogant nation. The plagues initiate from the attack, and result in uncontrollable, open air, perpetuating diseases. Dead, burnt, rotting bodies will be a problem.

    ( Revelation 18:7) How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

    ( Isaiah 47:9) But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.

    ( Revelation 18:8) Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

    Hey Richard Estrada

    I did not mean to imply what you listed was wrong, but I guess a lot of it did not go along with what you posted, I do apologize. The countries you listed may come to be, but I do not know or try to figure out what countries will be involved.

    As far as what I can say about the future, I feel it will be different than what many teach. I believe, as far as the countries that will be united with the beast we will not know until they are set up. I believe the beast is not a country but an angelic being from the bottomless pit along with the false prophet, with the power of Satan who will rule over those countries and the world.

    When Satan is cast down all changes, what that will look like who knows but it will not be pretty.

    Babel and Babylon are the same but translated differently, Babel was the start of sun worship, the host of heaven worship, and sanctified prostitution and human sacrifices. Babel started what God was constantly dealing with Israel, the gods of the countries around them.

    So, my feelings are that Babylon at the end times must have similar religious attributes because of what is said in ( Revelation 17:6), ( Revelation 18:24) and ( Revelation 19:2) whether the blood and deaths of the prophets, saints, and martyrs of Jesus are from the beginning of Babel or during the 3.5 years of tribulation, that is if this Babylon carries out the punishment for not taking the mark, because many of us if we are still here, will face death.

    This is probably not what you are asking for, sorry if not. If I may suggest something, not saying I know anything but it may help if you want to study it. ( Luke 21:20-24) you listed in your first post you said if the U.S. was taken out it would be easy for Israel to be invaded, true but, when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Nisan 10 He cried and said, ( Luke 19:41-44). You may decide Jesus, in both cases was talking of the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD, not end times.

    God bless,

    Sacha,

    Sweet Sweet Sacha,

    Perhaps you see a reflection of yourself in what I am not.

    Now i will take you deeper when prophets were taken in the spirit, and saw.

    Will my Revelation 6:13-14 vision hold true, got a better one? Then you'll be obligated to listen to old Hurty. I can warn you of Revelation 6:12 earthquake, Revelation 18:6 (if it takes 4.5 bombs to destroy Mystery Babylon, the beast will use 9).

    You read Isaiah, he describes Mystery Babylon America being overtaken: It's not too hard to see from descriptions who the rogue nation is from the iron and clay. What end-time nation continually causes war? The Arab world will celebrate at their fall. A whole new world is on the way, one that doesn't include America.

    ( Isaiah 14:6-8)

    6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.

    7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.

    8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.

    What will Briton do when they see America (Mystery Babylon) smoking from afar at the day of the Lord? In darkness, you will clothe yourselves in trembling.

    ( Ezekiel 26:16-18)

    16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee.

    17 And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!

    18 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.

    MYSTERY BABYLON, THE MOTHERS OF HARLOTS

    May CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    John wrote these words 1900 hundred years ago. It could be another 2000 years or more until the second resurrection, NO ONE KNOWS. These words have to have the same meaning to all who read them; whatever time (1900 years ago or 2000 years from now) they themselves are in.

    Babylon REPRESENTS something, it is not literal.

    Judah was taken into captivity by Babylon because they LOVED the world more than they loved God.

    It is no different TODAY we LOVE the world more than we love God.

    We (creation) are a HARLOT OF BABYLON because we have left our FIRST LOVE (our husband, Christ) and dote on the things of the world.

    We to are a captive of Babylon.

    Jesus came to set the CAPTIVES free (liberty in Christ).

    Revelation 18:4 And I heard a voice in heaven, saying, COME OUT OF HER, my people....

    Come back to your HUSBAND. Become ONE.

    You must DIE (first death) to the world, you must give YOUR LIFE for CHRIST as he gave HIS LIFE FOR YOU.

    Colossians 1:27 ... mystery of the ages.... CHRIST (who ONLY hath immortality) IN YOU, the hope of glory.

    Philippians 2:5 Let THIS MINE be in you, which was also IN CHRIST JESUS:

    Philippians 2:6 Who being in the form (image) of GOD, thought it not robbery to be EQUAL WITH GOD.

    Christ and the Father are ONE.

    John 17:21 That they ALL BE ONE, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be ONE IN US: that the world MAY BELIEVE that thou has sent me.

    Jesus told Judah (his chosen) that they would DIE in Babylon.

    Paul said, I DIE DAILY.

    ARE YOU ON YOUR DEATH BED?

    The Jew's that live in Israel have no claim to the land whatsoever, and will be evicted with violence.

    The return of the "Jew's" is complete, how many more do you want? However, these Jew's have nothing to do with Abraham, Issac and Jacob. They are frauds, converts of Japheth, fooling the world. I am looking forward to the eventual Khazar impostors downfall. Those who are not Jew's, who are supplanters of Judah, will be invaded and run off that land with their bare buttocks showing on the way out. That is what every prophet saw and wrote about, yet Christian's believe what they want to believe because religion is a ticket to act crazy. Were the prophets lying about ( Luke 21:20-24), and are you as informed as them? Oh how dare God defeat America and Israel!!! God despises them which you support.

    The only thing preventing this attack is time. When the sixth trumpet blows, there will be a shaking in the land of Israel, the earth will open up and the impostors will be carried off into captivity. You didn't think God would allow these frauds, along with their partner, America, to gain protection because of the land they squat on? God hates Babylon and will destroy what you wrongfully defend. Coming out of her ( Revelation 18:4) means just that, it doesn't mean to defend her as you constantly do. See it for what it is not what you want it to be. The fake Jews of Japheth will be dealt with per prophesy, and with collar and chain.

    I do believe you are alluding to Babylon's fall.

    ( Revelation 18:6) Render to her as also she did render to you, and double to her doubles according to her works; in the cup that she did mingle mingle to her double.

    Using weapons no one has ever seen before, or defend against, by surprise; Belshazzar.

    God help us when the curtain comes down.

    Another angel comes from heaven. This seems to be Christ himself, coming to destroy his enemies, and to shed abroad the light of his gospel through all nations.

    Why would Christ appear as an angle, this doesnt sound right.

    Mishael,

    Why not talk more about the end-times, so the ignorant may become wise? Something big is coming our way, catastrophic. You are bright with the NT, no doubt, but what of the OT? Jesus never shied away from honoring the prophets, and without them, there'd be nothing to fulfill. More importantly, in our times, we are seeing Revelation unfold. Shouldn't you understand the signs and tell the people over affirmations?

    Do you know how many Christians believe Jesus is coming next to save us, while not understanding antichrist must yield 42 months of world power, prior to Messiah's appearing? Christians are in a spiritual haze, without compass, no order of semblance or understanding. They know what someone has told them.

    I see 99% NT here, some to never know the prophets are more accurate than the morning newspaper. The prophets paint America as Mystery Babylon (new Rome) that gets hit with the "abomination of desolation" at the day of the Lord, sixth trumpet. There's only east vs west powers left: beast & Babylon. Come to terms with America being that evil, backsliding militant government, where in one hour is brought to naught. ( Revelation 18:18-20) God avenges the blood of prophets on her, the same forgotten prophets of today.

    The day of the Lord does not mean what most think it does ( Isaiah 13) ( Isaiah 47) ( Revelation 18). For people of earth, Babylon, it is a day of darkness and thick dark clouds. The beast has super weapons ( Ezekiel 21:9-12); devices ( Daniel 11:25) at sixth trumpet, and ( Daniel 11:24) post sixth trumpet. His weapons cause enough damage to knock the earth off its axis ( Isaiah 24:20) wobble, causing less daylight, a global curse. Joel 2:1-11 gives a visceral account of the unstoppable smart missile strike. The sixth trumpet is effectively the destruction of the whole house of Israel ( Isaiah 24), save the one hundred forty four thousand, elect. Between the sixth and seventh trumpets lie mans worst days.

    John 15:7

    Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.
