Mystery Babylon is Apostate Jerusalem

Revelation 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6. And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.

Luke 13:33. "Nevertheless I must journey today, tomorrow, and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.

Every description of Babylon and Jerusalem in prophecy is interchangeable. The key words to compare are highlighted in red. The blood of the saints, prophets, apostles, servants and righteous are always described as being found in Babylon or Jerusalem.

Matthew 23: 34. "Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35. "that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36. "Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. 37. "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38. "See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39. "for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, `Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!' ''

Lamentations 4:11. The Lord has fulfilled His fury, He has poured out His fierce anger. He kindled a fire in Zion, and it has devoured its foundations. 12. The kings of the earth, and all inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy could enter the gates of Jerusalem 13. Because of the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests, who shed in her midst the blood of the just.

Revelation 18:20. "Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!''

Revelation 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Ezekiel 21:1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2. "Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, preach against the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel;

Ezekiel 22:1. Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2. "Now, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Yes, show her all her abominations! 3. "Then say, `Thus says the Lord God: "The city sheds blood in her own midst, that her time may come; and she makes idols within herself to defile herself. 4. "You have become guilty by the blood which you have shed, and have defiled yourself with the idols which you have made. You have caused your days to draw near, and have come to the end of your years; therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mockery to all countries.

The Hebrew word used for Babylon is Babel, which is interpreted: confusion and is the same title of the city and tower built by all the peoples of the world to try to ascend to the heights of God .

Strong's Ref. # 894

Romanized Babel Pronounced baw-bel'

from HSN1101; confusion; Babel (i.e. Babylon), including Babylonia and the Babylonian empire:

KJV--Babel, Babylon.

The Lord was angry with the people and changed all their languages so that they could not unite anymore to do evil. He also scattered them abroad upon the face of the Earth and divided the lands with the great earthquake which divided the continents with waters which is indicated by the name Peleg. (1 chronicles 1:19)

Today the ancient city of Babylon is no mystery because it is easily located in the country of Iraq. To understand who the mother of harlots is, one must thoroughly study the Old Testament prophecies along with the book of Revelation and perform word searches with a concordance. Many times God gives different names to large followings of peoples who have a part in Bible history. Often times these names are derogatory of his own people who are called by his name and claim to follow the one true God of Israel and or Jesus. The gender of these names and large groups of people are usually female, which is also indicated in the mother of harlots. Any group of people who are married to the Lord or divorced from him are in biblical terms female. The wife spoken of in Proverbs 31 is spiritually the church of God. Spiritually a harlot or whore is a people who have been unfaithful to God and are divorced from him through apostasy as they have followed after other gods and idols.

Jeremiah 3:1. "They say, `If a man divorces his wife, and she goes from him and becomes another man's, may he return to her again?' Would not that land be greatly polluted? But you have played the harlot with many lovers; yet return to Me,'' says the Lord. 2. "Lift up your eyes to the desolate heights and see: where have you not lain with men? By the road you have sat for them like an Arabian in the wilderness; and you have polluted the land with your harlotries and your wickedness. 3:3...and you have a whores forehead, thou refuse to be ashamed.

Isaiah 1:21. How the faithful city has become a harlot! It was full of justice; righteousness lodged in it, but now murderers.

The entire chapter of Ezekiel 16 speaks to Jerusalem about her sins and is indicative of her stature among all the harlots of the earth.

Ezekiel 16:1. Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2. "Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations.

15. "But you trusted in your own beauty, played the harlot because of your fame, and poured out your harlotry on everyone passing by who would have it. 16. "You took some of your garments and adorned multicolored high places for yourself, and played the harlot on them. Such things should not happen, nor be. 17. "You have also taken your beautiful jewelry from My gold and My silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself male images and played the harlot with them.

20. "Moreover you took your sons and your daughters, whom you bore to Me, and these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your acts of harlotry a small matter, 21. "that you have slain My children and offered them up to them by causing them to pass through the fire? 22. "And in all your abominations and acts of harlotry you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, struggling in your blood.

25. Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to everyone that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms. 26. "You also committed harlotry with the Egyptians, your very fleshly neighbors, and increased your acts of harlotry to provoke Me to anger.

28. "You also played the harlot with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; indeed you played the harlot with them and still were not satisfied. 29. "Moreover you multiplied your acts of harlotry as far as the land of the trader, Chaldea; and even then you were not satisfied." 30. "How degenerate is your heart!'' says the Lord God, "seeing you do all these things, the deeds of a brazen harlot. 31. "You erected your shrine at the head of every road, and built your high place in every street. Yet you were not like a harlot, because you scorned payment. 32. But as a wife that commits adultery who takes strangers instead of her husband! 33. "Men make payment to all harlots, but you made your payments to all your lovers, and hired them to come to you from all around for your harlotry. 34. "You are the opposite of other women in your harlotry, because no one solicited you to be a harlot. In that you gave payment but no payment was given you, therefore you are the opposite.'' 35. `Now then, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord! 36. `Thus says the Lord God: "Because your filthiness was poured out and your nakedness uncovered in your harlotry with your lovers, and with all your abominable idols, and because of the blood of your children which you gave to them, 37. "surely, therefore, I will gather all your lovers with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved, and all those you hated; I will gather them from all around against you and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.38. And I will judge thee as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged: and I will give you blood in fury and jealousy.

41. "They shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will make you cease playing the harlot, and you shall no longer hire lovers.

46. And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwells at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.47. Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways.

Ezekiel 23:1. The word of the Lord came again to me, saying:

2. "Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.

3. They committed harlotry in Egypt, they committed harlotry in their youth; their breasts were there embraced, their virgin bosom was there pressed. 4. Their names: Oholah the elder and Oholibah her sister; they were Mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem is Oholibah.

Jeremiah 13:26. Therefore I will uncover your skirts over your face, that your shame may appear. 27. I have seen your adulteries and your lustful neighings, the lewdness of your harlotry, your abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! Will you still not be made clean?''

Isaiah 21:9. And look, here comes a chariot of men with a pair of horsemen!'' and he answered and said, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen! And all the carved images of her gods he has broken to the ground.'' 10. Oh, my threshing and the grain of my floor! That which I have heard from the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, I have declared to you.

Jeremiah 51:33. For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.

2 Chronicles 3:1. Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

Isaiah 47:1. "Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no more be called tender and delicate. 2. Take the millstones and grind meal. Remove your veil, take off the skirt, uncover the thigh, pass through the rivers. 3. Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame will be seen; I will take vengeance, and I will not arbitrate with a man.'' 4. As for our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is His name, the Holy One of Israel. 5. "Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no longer be called the Lady of Kingdoms.

Deuteronomy 28:56. "The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground because of her delicateness and sensitivity, will refuse to the husband of her bosom, and to her son and her daughter, 57. "her placenta which comes out from between her feet, and her children whom she bears; for she will eat them secretly for lack of all things in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress you at all your gates.

Jeremiah 2:28. But where are your gods that you have made for yourselves? Let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble; for according to the number of your cities are your gods, O Judah. 29. "Why will you plead with Me? You all have transgressed against Me,'' says the Lord. 30. "In vain I have chastened your children; they received no correction. Your sword has devoured your prophets like a destroying lion.

Jeremiah 2:34. Also on your skirts is found the blood of the lives of the poor innocents. I have not found it by secret search, but plainly on all these things.

The words desolate or desolation describe Babylon and Jerusalem.

Leviticus 26: 31. I will lay your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the fragrance of your sweet aromas. 32. I will bring the land to desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it. 33. I will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you; your land shall be desolate and your cities waste. 34. Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies' land; then the land shall rest and enjoy its sabbaths. 35. As long as it lies desolate it shall rest for the time it did not rest on your sabbaths when you dwelt in it.

Isaiah 1:1. The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. 2.

The enemy has damaged everything in the sanctuary.

Isaiah 51:17. Awake, awake! Stand up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of His fury; you have drunk the dregs of the cup of trembling, and drained it out. 18. There is no one to guide her among all the sons she has brought forth; nor is there any who takes her by the hand among all the sons she has brought up. 19.

"My people, go out of the midst of her! And let everyone deliver himself from the fierce anger of the Lord.

Jeremiah 51:49. As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon the slain of all the earth shall fall. 50. You who have escaped the sword, get away! Do not stand still! Remember the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come to your mind. 51. We are ashamed because we have heard reproach. Shame has covered our faces, for strangers have come into the sanctuaries of the Lord's house. 52. "Therefore behold, the days are coming,'' says the Lord, "That I will bring judgment on her carved images, and throughout all her land the wounded shall groan. 53. Though Babylon were to mount up to heaven, and though she were to fortify the height of her strength, yet from Me plunderers would come to her,'' says the Lord.

Jeremiah 51:58. Thus says the Lord of hosts: "The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; the people will labor in vain, and the nations, because of the fire; and they shall be weary.''

Ezekiel 8:15. Then He said to me, "Have you seen this, O son of man? Turn again, you will see greater abominations than these.'' 16. So He brought me into the inner court of the Lord's house; and there, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping the sun toward the east. 17. Then He said to me, "Have you seen this, O son of man? Is it a trivial thing to the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence; then they have returned to provoke Me to anger. Indeed they put the branch to their nose. 18. "Therefore I also will act in fury.

Ezekiel 9:3. Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the temple.

To the others He said in my hearing, "Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity.

6. "Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary.'' So they began with the elders who were before the temple.

Isaiah 4:3. And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and he who remains in Jerusalem will be called holy everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem. 4. When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning, 5. then the Lord will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering.

"Therefore behold, the days are coming,'' says the Lord, "when it will no more be called Tophet, or the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter; for they will bury in Tophet until there is no room. 33. "The corpses of this people will be food for the birds of the heaven and for the beasts of the earth. And no one will frighten them away. 34.

And the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. 23. "And the light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore. And the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore.

When King Solomon began to worship and bow to all the gods of his wives, it set in order all the curses and judgments pronounced upon Gods people in the book of Deuteronomy, which is necessary to read when studying the Anti-Christ, Jerusalem, and Babylon.

The entire book of Lamentations was written about Jerusalem.

Lamentations 1:1. How lonely sits the city that was full of people! How like a widow is she, Who was great among the nations! The princess among the provinces has become a slave! 2. She weeps bitterly in the night, her tears are on her cheeks; among all her lovers she has none to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; they have become her enemies. 3. Judah has gone into captivity, under affliction and hard servitude; she dwells among the nations, she finds no rest; all her persecutors overtake her in dire straits.

Lamentations 1:8. Jerusalem has sinned grievously, therefore she has become vile. All who honored her despise her because they have seen her nakedness; yes, she sighs and turns away. 9. Her uncleanness is in her skirts; she did not consider her destiny; therefore her collapse was awesome; she had no comforter. "O Lord, behold my affliction, for the enemy has magnified himself!''

Nahum 3:1. Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lies and robbery. Its victim never departs. 2. The noise of a whip and the noise of rattling wheels, of galloping horses, of clattering chariots! 3. Horsemen charge with bright sword and glittering spear. There is a multitude of slain, a great number of bodies, countless corpses they stumble over the corpses 4. because of the multitude of harlotries of the seductive harlot, the mistress of sorceries, who sells nations through her harlotries, and families through her sorceries. 5. "Behold, I am against you,'' says the Lord of hosts; "I will lift your skirts over your face, I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame. 6. I will cast abominable filth upon you, make you vile, and make you a spectacle. 7. It shall come to pass that all who look upon you Will flee from you, and say, `Nineveh is laid waste! Who will bemoan her?' Where shall I seek comforters for you?''

1 Corinthians 6:16 What? Know ye not that he which is joined to a harlot is one body?

Ezekiel 5:5 Thus saith the Lord God: This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her. 6.And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her; for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them...9. And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.

Zechariah 2:7. "Up, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.''

Matthew 24: 15. "Therefore when you see the `abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place'' (whoever reads, let him understand), 16. "then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

Luke 21:20. "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. 21. "Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. 22. "For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

Ezekiel 13:17. "Likewise, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; prophesy against them, 18. "and say, `Thus says the Lord God: "Woe to the women who sew magic charms on their sleeves and make veils for the heads of people of every height to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of My people, and keep yourselves alive? 19. "And will you profane Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, killing people who should not die, and keeping people alive who should not live, by your lying to My people who listen to lies?'' 20. `Therefore thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I am against your magic charms by which you hunt souls there like birds. I will tear them from your arms, and let the souls go, the souls you hunt like birds. 21. "I will also tear off your veils and deliver My people out of your hand, and they shall no longer be as prey in your hand. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.'' 22. "Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and you have strengthened the hands of the wicked, so that he does not turn from his wicked way to save his life. 23. "Therefore you shall no longer envision futility nor practice divination; for I will deliver My people out of your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.'' ' ''

Jeremiah 5:26. `For among My people are found wicked men; they lie in wait as one who sets snares; they set a trap; they catch men. 27. As a cage is full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit. Therefore they have become great and grown rich.

Revelation 11:8 And their dead bodies (the two prophets in end times) shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.(Jerusalem) Notice that Sodom and Egypt are two more spiritually derogatory nicknames given to Jerusalem.

Revelation 17:18 And the woman which you saw is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.

The thing that confuses most bible scholars is that there are many prophecies which promise that Jerusalem shall be saved and inhabited by the Lords people. New Jerusalem, described in the book of Revelation is the city being referred to in the future.

Hebrews 13: 14. For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

One scheme used by Mystery Babylon leaders is to bring back Jews to Israel in order to establish the anti-christ kingdom here on earth, claiming that it is scripturally the will of God the Father. The true promise of God is to bring back Israel to their homeland after they acknowledge their sin, repent, and worship the Almightly God of Heaven through Jesus, the Savior of the world. This final unification will not and cannot happen until the time of great tribulation is completed and Jesus returns. To those who believe that Israel can be united by reinstituting the Mosaic Law without true repentance and the faith in Jesus as Messiah, it is a trap which shall cause you to worship the beast, a false messiah who shall lead you into the Lake of Fire. Many self proclaimed Christian leaders promote this event and are therefore part of this one world movement which is secretly Mystery Babylon.

Many times the holy city Zion is mentioned in these verses of scripture. Zion is the city where David dwelt which is the southern, smaller hill of the three hills which encompass the city of Jerusalem today. Northeast of Zion is where Solomon was directed to build the temple, which was previously the threshing floor of Ornan or Araunah. This is also known as the eastern ridge or temple hill. The hill of Zion is known as the lower city or southeastern hill.. The third hill which lies northeast of Zion is known as Golgotha, the site of the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

Jeremiah 16:18 "And first I will repay double for their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols.''

Revelation 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled, fill to her double.

Ezekiel 16: 2. "Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,

Ezekiel 16:23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, woe, woe unto thee! Saith the Lord God

Revelation 8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth...Two of these woes are designated for apostate Jerusalem and Judah.

Ezekiel 24: 6. `Therefore thus says the Lord God: "Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is in it, and whose scum is not gone from it! Bring it out piece by piece, on which no lot has fallen.

Ezekiel 24: 9. `Therefore thus says the Lord God: "Woe to the bloody city! I too will make the pyre great. (double)

Jeremiah 13:27 I have seen thine adulteries and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hill in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! Wilt thou not be made clean?

Matthew 23:37. "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!

38. "See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39. "for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, `Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!' ''

Revelation 18:1. After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2. And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a habitation of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!

I believe that I have established that Mystery Babylon is apostate Jerusalem and Judah, more commonly known today as Zionism, those who do not worship the Most High God of heaven. The daughters of Mystery Babylon would be the United States and all the countries of the former British Empire and the current churches such as Catholic and protestant Christianity which have fallen away just as Israel and Judah did in their day. This not only applies geographically but also by bloodline and spirituality, regardless of where the descendants, followers, and allies dwell. This religion of Mystery Babylon has secretly overspread much of the world, and continues to gain steam at an alarmingly rapid state because of its web like tentacles and stealthy operation. One must understand that there are two different bloodlines of Jew: Serpent and Pure human from the line of Seth. The majority is of the serpent infused hybrid bloodline of whom Jesus and John the Baptist spoke to in Jerusalem. The pure blood human Jewish race is being and has been hunted and murdered by this wicked bastard race who is led by the dragon and is well documented in scripture as I have pointed out in a document titled The Secret Genocide of the Pure Human Race and Who Sponsors and Organizes Gangstalking?

Revelation 17 explains that the whore sits upon many waters which are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. Many believe that the United States is mystery Babylon as it fits much of the description of such. America is the right hand of power and an integral part of this false religion with much of its false doctrine coming from the Jewish mystical Kabbalah and Talmud through the deception of secret infiltrators from secret societies into the Church. Western Europe, and much of the world fit into this category of being aligned with Jerusalem today as most of Gods originally chosen seed have been spread throughout the nations as part of his judgment upon them. Many of the people of Jewish heritage are living in these countries and have a great influence upon all business and trade throughout the world. Apostate Judah and the secret societies whom together rule the fleshly world share the same highly regarded symbol of the beast, the six-pointed star of Remphan also known as the seal of Solomon. These are the evil offspring of the serpent whom Jesus spoke to and condemned 2000 years ago when he called out the Pharisees, scribes, and elders of this false religious system which ruled over Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 31:27. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.

Daniel 2:43. "As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.

Genesis 3:15. And I will put enmity between you (serpent) and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.''

This serpent seed exists in all races but apostate Judah is most abominable to God because they were the rulers of Jerusalem and Israel.

The core reason for this evil Luciferian religious government of Mystery Babylon having so much power is that there is large number of serpent, nephilim hybrid people who hate Christ along with the demonically possessed and are secretly committing mass genocide of those peoples who do not or will not follow their secret agenda. Today you will not see much the giantism of the Old Testament days as it has been breed out or destroyed but the Bible never said that they were all over-sized. Many say that the Khazars are to blame for the apostate Jews being known as the children of Satan. It is not true, Jesus made it very clear in the Bible that the apostate Jews are of the descendants of Abraham but also are of the spiritual lineage of the serpent seed.

John 8:33. They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, `You will be made free'?'' 34. Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35. "And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36. "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. 37. "I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. 38. "I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.'' 39. They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father.'' Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham. 40. "But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. 41. "You do the deeds of your father.'' Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father God.'' 42. Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. 43. "Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. 44. "You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

John 8:52. Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, `If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.' 53. "Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Whom do You make Yourself out to be?'' 54. Jesus answered, "If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God. 55. "Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, `I do not know Him,' I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word. 56. "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.'' 57. Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?'' 58. Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.''

Revelation 2:8. And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; 9. I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Matthew 23:29. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 30. And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 32. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 33. You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? 34. Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall you scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city.

Jeremiah 11:6. Then the Lord said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them. 7. For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice. 8. Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do: but they did them not. 9. And the Lord said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 10. They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers. 11. Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them. 12. Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble. 13. For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.

One technique that Satan is using to lead the imprudent astray is to offer true doctrine mixed with false. This is how the many denominations have sprung up as each focuses on a different small portion of scripture. If you find your church teaching a false doctrine, you move to another which teaches what you are looking for at the time and eventually realize they are teaching another set of lies to poison you and distract away from the truth. Another is of course to preach smooth things which are appealing and comforting which leads to a false sense of security, peace, and prosperity. The orthodox and conservative Christian church is not immune to this disease which supposed great teachers of the modern day encourage and support. Some of the terms used in this blasphemous doctrine are Ecumenical, Emerging, purpose driven, and Unity. To allow oneself to be aligned with those who condone this teaching is to deny the Lord Jesus who is the only name by which one may be saved. The Bible teaches that the different members of the body of Christ shall not be fully united until after the period of great tribulation in their set order known as the feast of tabernacles. The small remnant of the true Jew, whom Jesus is the head of, shall be called out of Babylon, survive the tribulation period and be caught up to be with the Lord forever, seated in the highest position afforded to an originally mortal man.

Another theory about the identity of the great harlot is that Catholic Rome is Babylon. Once again they are an integral part of the equation as they also are a major player in the world wide ecumenical movement and have infiltrated the protestant church with members of secret societies such as freemasonry and the Jesuits to spread wicked doctrines as they seek to reunite them with the universal Catholic Church. It is very possible that the pope shall be the false prophet indwelt by the spirit of wormwood who causes false doctrine to prosper for a time. Many feel that the seven mountains refer to Rome but is explained in scripture as powerful evil spirits. The 7 mountains are 7 powerful wicked spirits indwelling 7 human kings and is explained in the book of Revelation and in the Old Testament.

Revelation 17: 9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10. And there are seven kings (humans indwelt): five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

In the book of Matthew Jesus interprets the word mountain to be a very strong evil spirit.

Matthew 17:18. And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. 19. Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20. And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.21. Howbeit this kind (spirit) goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

Rahab is another name for the serpent.

Psalm 89:10. Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

Isaiah 51:9. Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?

Job 26:12. "He quieted the sea with His power, And by His understanding He shattered Rahab. 13. "By His breath the heavens are cleared; His hand has pierced the fleeing serpent.

Revelation 13:1. 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.

Revelation 13:3. 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.

We must always be careful not to apply our own human interpretation of scripture when the Lord has already interpreted such in other books of the Bible. Jerusalem and Israel are also a part of the old Roman empire which was divided into 4 pieces as evidenced at the time Jesus walked the earth which has led many to falsely teach and believe that the antichrist will come from Rome.

Revelaton 18:3. "For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.''

1 Kings 10:14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold. 15 Beside that of the merchantmen, and of the traffic of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.

In the days of Solomon, Israel was the center of trade throughout the world, becoming spoiled and fat, leading them into apostasy. The United States is heading down the exact same path that Israel and Jerusalem walked and we shall come to the same end as they if we do not repent of our worshipping money and trying to control the world with our military strength.

Revelation 18: 23. "And the light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore. And the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 24. "And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.'' (speaking to Babylon)

Jeremiah 7:34 "Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride. For the land shall be desolate.

In conclusion it is clear Biblically that at its core Mystery Babylon is Jerusalem and its apostate leaders wherever they may dwell and its doctrine is Apostasy from the pure Word. Whoever and whatever church that claims to know the God of the Bible and practices and teaches false doctrine are members of Mystery Babylon as the daughters of the children of Apostasy. The Lord holds apostate Jerusalem and all its children accountable for this great apostasy which began when King Solomon lead them astray and brought nearly every curse in Deuteronomy upon them, while his false doctrines are greatly practiced still in the large majority of the church today infused by the secret society serpent seed nephilim.

Hear the call of the Lord now. Come out of Babylon and Laodicea so you may be accounted worthy to stand with the Lord at the end of this age.

Jeremiah 51:45. "My people, go out of the midst of her! And let everyone deliver himself from the fierce anger of the Lord.

Revelation 18:4. And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.
