There exists some very deep truths in the
Book of Revelation and included
in that category is both the revelation of and the exposing of the nefarious entity described as Mystery
Babylon in chapters seventeen and eighteen. This MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EAARTH is all
encompassing when we consider the evil forces behind the scenes which control the extreme and vast amount of pure evil being perpetrated upon the peoples of
the earth. It will require this writing and at least one more to follow to even
begin to capture the essence of a subject which requires two full chapters of
scripture to explain.
“And the
woman was arrayed with purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and
precious stones, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of
abominations and the filth of her abominations.”(Rev. 17:4). It must be
understood by the reader that in a particular way in the Revelation the use of
metaphorical language is employed. So we see her with the colors of purple
which speaks of royalty and indeed the royalty of England and other European
nations has been involved over time in the execution of the agenda of Mystery
Babylon. The color scarlet is mentioned. This metaphor in Scripture is
associated with sin and uncleanness as found in Isaiah, chapter 1 and other
places.
To
begin we must examine some definitions. The word mystery from the Greek means: primarily that which is known only to the mustes i.e., ‘the initiated’ “to initiate into the
mysteries”. In other words this entity is secretive and occult in its
essence. It is known only to those who have embraced its evil devices, motives,
and agenda. The word Babylon is brought forward from the ancient kingdom of the
Chaldeans who were pagans, soothsayers, sorcerers, devil worshipers and emerged
into these doctrines and in every evil practice initiated by the powers of
darkness. We are talking about Lucifer, Satan, the dragon, and ancient
occultism.
Beginning
in chapter seventeen late in verse one we read “…I will show unto you the judgement of the great whore that siteth upon
any waters.” So in verse one we see
that judgment is to come upon this great whore; but in the present she sits
upon many waters which is to say that she is not restricted to a geographical
location but is in fact is universal and international in scope. In verse two
we discover an expansion of her activities worldwide. “With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the
inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk by the wine of her fornication.” There is even now an interaction and an
engagement with world leaders whether political, economic or religious that is
illicit, covert, and corrupt even to its explanation is by using a sexual
metaphor to explain it as the commission of fornication. This illicit spiritual
intercourse with the world leaders and with others whether economically or
religiously dramatically affects the “inhabitants
of the earth” which are controlled by the authority, actions, laws, and
dogma imposed upon them by their leaders. This is called “the wine of her fornication.” (Consider the passage of the Patriot
Acts both I and II as a result of the 911 World Trade Center attacks. (a ‘false flag’ used to destroy many
Constitutional freedoms and initiate a state of war, i.e., 'the war on
terrorism’).Also consider other legislation such as Obamacare, the forcing of a
plan of taxation under the guise of medical care), and the Supreme Court’s
ruling on abortion in 1973 (Roe vs.
Wade) resulting in the death of multiplied millions of unborn babies. These are
three clear examples of the tyranny continually being imposed on America and
its people through the occult agenda
Mystery
Babylon is personified in the text as both a woman and a city. “And the woman that thou sawest is that
great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth.”(Rev.. 17:18) So she
is set over in complete contrast to the woman which is the church. (See Rev.
12:1, 4, and 6). And also that great city which is the New Jerusalem as found
in chapter 21. We see in the verse that Mystery Babylon as the epitome of evil that
is set against the people of God.” And I
saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the
martyrs of Jesus. And I wondered with great admiration.” (Rev. 17:6)
In
order to conclude this first portion defining the character and essence of
Mystery Babylon it is necessary to add some information concerning her agenda
and goals. First, it must be understood that there is a vast and intense
spiritual war being waged on the earth over the issue of both control and
worship. Mystery Babylon is the instrument of Lucifer himself both to bring
about complete control of God’s creation and ultimately to bring all worship to
be centered upon himself. We discover this truth at Isaiah 14:12-15 where we
read: “How art thiu fallen from heaven, O
Lucifer, son of the morning! How art t thou cut down to the ground, which did
weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thy heart, I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt myself above the stars of God: I will it upon the mount of the
congregation, in the sides of the North: I will ascend above the heights of the
clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shall be bought down to hell, to
the sides of the pit.” Mystery Babylon is Lucifer’s instrumentality ‘to
weaken the nations’ and bring them into subservience and worship to and of
himself. We will have more to add in
subsequent posts.
