Everyone, the 7th Babylon is NOT the beast and has nothing to do with the beast. The desctruction of the 7th Babylon escorts in the coming of the beast which is the 8th Babylon. Please understand the difference. The 8th Babylon is the beast and has no city because it is a globalist power made up of 10 different nations. This 8th beast has NOTHING to do with the 7th Babylon other than its destruction. This is the plain understanding of Revelations. Please read it plainly and you will see this to be the case.

The 7th Babylon and the 8th Babylon have nothing to do with the seals in heaven. These are end times events which are separated from the seven seals. The seven seals begins the time of tribulation and the first seal has not been broken yet.

In Rev 12:3 the other sign John saw was a great red dragon meaning Satan. Remember, this is a vision and a sign as Satan has not yet been thrown out of heaven. The description of the dragon being great and red depicts its nature and character as being fierce and murderous, John 8:44. This red dragon is depicted as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. This is also confirmed in Rev 17 as mystery Babylon is described. The seven heads and ten horns refer to the original ten kingdoms of which three were subdued by the little horn of Daniel 7:8. The last kingdom which stands greater than all the others is that of a revived Roman Empire that takes control over all the ten nations who then implements a deceiving peace treaty to a world that is in great distress. Below is that of the seven kingdoms described as four beasts in Daniel 7:1-8 and the three kingdoms that were subdued by the little horn, which is the Roman Empire.

The three kingdoms that were subdued by the little horn of Daniel 7:24 are the Heruli, Vandals, and Ostrogoths who were eliminated by the year 538 AD under the leadership of the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian whose deadly wound came in 1798.

Seven remaining nations that still exist today:

Babylonian Empire:
(Iraq) The lion represents the winged lions that guarded the royal places of Babylon.

Medo – Persian Empire:
(Iran) The ribs of the bear are part of the consuming greed that devours the first empire.

Grecian Empire:
(Greece, Turkey, Syria, Egypt) Four wings of the leopard described the swiftness of this empire that ran from 334-331BC. It wrestled world dominion from Medo-Persia. After the death of Alexander the Great the kingdom was divided into four minor kingdoms that continued as prominent factors in world politics until the Roman Empire gathered it back as one kingdom.

Roman Empire: (little horn, Daniel 8:9-14, 23-27)
Iron represents the stronghold this nation had. Daniel chapter 2 mentions the iron element of this empire that it to will be divided and broken as God will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed.

The crowns on its heads show that this dragon claims royal authority against the true King who is God of all creation as he prepares to take his seat above all that which is Gods Kingdom claiming he is God as he prepares to deceive the world through that of an existing Roman Empire, Daniel 8:9-12; Isaiah 14:12-15.

The beast rises up out of the sea, Rev 13, as the sea here is symbolic of people and nations as in a sea of humanity, Daniel Chapter 7:1-8; Revelation 17:15. The seven heads are that of the Babylonian Empire, Medo/Persian Empire, Grecian Empire and Roman Empire. The ten horns represent the nations the Roman Empire scattered to when the deadly wound was put upon them, Daniel 7:23-25.

These ten nations were the Anglo-Saxons (English), the Franks (French), Suevi (Portuguese), Visigoths (Spanish), Burgundians (Swiss), Alemanni (Germans), Lombards (Italians), Ostrogoths, Heruli, and the Vandals in northern Africa. The last three being Ostrogoths, Heruli, and the Vandals had already been destroyed by the Roman Empire before their deadly wound came in 1798.

The beast out of the earth, Rev 13:11-18, is the revived Roman Empire (mystery Babylon) which causes man to take its mark, Daniel 7:24, 25 and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, He will think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
 
every time i see man tell exactly who what and when and where in the end times.. i run the other direction :oops:mouthdrop
Especially when they haven't even learned the name of the book they're referring to. (HINT: it's all one, (1) singular revelation, revealing Jesus Christ, TO "St John the Divine")

I happen to think that John is the same John who wrote 3 Epistles, and is also "the Disciple who Jesus loved" aka John "the theologian" who wrote the Gospel according to St John. Some think not, and I might even be persuaded in that direction.

But not by empty claims.

If we can't even agree on that much, will we really agree on the Apocalypse? Although I think it's pretty clear Prophecy focuses on the middle East, never mentioning the US.
 
Roman Empire: (little horn, Daniel 8:9-14, 23-27)

Here's where you go wrong. For when it says about the 7 kings "five have fallen, one is" it is saying that Rome, which was the Babylon at that time of writing is the 6th Babylon. So it is not possible for Rome to be described in Nebuchadnezzar's dream. The Babylon of iron is Macedonia under Alexander and the Clay/Iron Kingdom is Seleucia under Seleucus I Nicator.

Then the Roman empire comes and the kingdom of heaven comes. It is not possible for Rome to be described by the 5 Babylons which had already fallen by the time Rome had come about. It is completely clear that Rome is the 6th Babylon according to that scripture.

So you've got to get your picture right entirely to be able to properly give the representations of these things in the heavenly vision.
 
The key difference here is that we are not the 8th Babylon which is the beast, the North country in Daniel. We are the 7th Babylon, the last of the prostitute, where the rest of the world will destroy it in order to establish the beast, a globalist nation and agenda. That is why the beast has no city because the prostitute is the city that ruled mankind. But after the prostitute is destroyed there will be no city that this globalist regime rules from.
No the United States is not any form of "Babylon" as prophesied in Revelation.

In my opinion your conclusion is just as wacked as the past cry of Obama being the Antichrist, that has been silenced since he left office.

Jerusalem Is Mystery Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots!

Jerusalem Is Guilty Of All The Earths Blood, And That Of The Prophets, As Rev 18:24 States.

"Rome Didn't Exist To Be Guilty Of The Prophets Blood"


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

Matthew 23:30-37KJV
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 Ye serpents, ye generation 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 ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
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.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Jerusalem Is The "Great City" Where The Lord Was Crucified

Revelation 11:8KJV
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

Revelation 14:8KJV
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

Revelation 17:18KJV
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Revelation 18:10KJV
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

The Jewish Levitical Priesthood was clothed in purple, scarlet, precious stones and gold.

Revelation 17:4KJV
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

Exodus 39:8-13KJV
8 And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9 It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.
10 And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.
11 And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
12 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
13 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.

Ezekiel 16:15-16KJV
15 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.

Jerusalem Is Built Upon Seven Hills/Mountains, Just As Rome

Revelation 17:9KJV
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

The Seven Hills Of Jerusalem, By Ernest L. Martin, Ph.D.

the City of Jerusalem as it existed in the time of Christ Jesus was also reckoned to be the "City of Seven Hills." This fact was well recognized in Jewish circles. In the Pirke de-Rabbi Eliezer, an 8th century midrashic narrative (section 10), the writer mentioned without commentary (showing that the understanding was well known and required no defense) that "Jerusalem is situated on seven hills"(recorded in The Book of Legends, edited by Bialik and Ravnitzky, p. 371, paragraph 111). And, so it was. Those "seven hills" are easy to identify.

If one starts with the Mount of Olives just to the east of the main City of Jerusalem (but still reckoned to be located within the environs of Jerusalem), there are three summits to that Mount of Olives:
  1. The northern summit (hill) is called Scopus [Hill One],
  2. The middle summit (hill) was called Nob [Hill Two],
  3. The highest point of Olivet itself, and the southern summit (hill) was called in the Holy Scriptures the "Mount of Corruption" or "Mount of Offence" [Hill Three] (II Kings 23:13).
  4. On the middle ridge between the Kedron and the Tyropoeon Valleys there was (formerly) in the south "Mount Zion" [Hill Four] (the original "Mount Zion" and not the later southwest hill that was later called by that name),
  5. The "Ophel Mount" [Hill Five],
  6. To the north of that the "Rock" around which "Fort Antonia" was built [Hill Six],
  7. And finally, there was the southwest hill itself [Hill Seven] that finally became known in the time of Simon the Hasmonean as the new "Mount Zion."

Wikipedia: Jerusalem Gay Pride Parade

The Jerusalem gay pride parade is an annual pride parade taking place in Jerusalem. Since the first March for Pride and Tolerance in 2002, Jerusalem Pride—"Love Without Border"—has become an established event in Jerusalem, each year bringing in additional partners and supporters.

Since the 1990s an annual gay pride parade takes place in Tel Aviv, Israel and sometimes also in Eilat. Tel Aviv had previously been the venue for the only yearly gay pride parade in the Middle East.[citation needed] Tel Aviv was first city in Israel to have a gay pride parade, which started in the street of Shenkin and expanded to large-scale events in the following years. In 2005, 100,000 people participated in the Tel Aviv gay pride parade.

Jerusalem is not mystery Babylon as the city is only the place where the son of perdition will take his seat as the Mossad and the one who controls the Mossad is the government that presides over Jerusalem. The son of perdition, Islamic Imams, Arab League and the Middle East Quartet that comprises the U.S., Russia, the EU, the United Nations and possibly China who wants in on the peace plans are working on an agreement of who will govern Jerusalem as a peacemaker between the Arab countries and Israel.

To make the peace plan between Israel and the Arab countries a reality the Liberal Zionists must also agree with this peace treaty. Only when the Liberal Zionists are willing to surrender then the son of perdition can preside over a new neutral administration with its power seat on the exact spot where God’s temple that was first built by Solomon and then rebuilt by Ezra was once located, but destroyed in 70AD and stood vacant for a few centuries until the Muslims took control over the temple mount building the Dome of the Rock around 692 AD. The Christian Zionists and Religious Jewish Judaism is the only thing that holds back the last man of lawlessness (son of perdition) from taking his seat in Jerusalem.

One flaw with the seven hills being Jerusalem as being mystery Babylon is the fact that many cities back in the days of the Prophets and Apostles were built on seven hills. Since you are copy and pasting from a website it would be good to reference it so we can check it out.
 
I believe I have my picture right according to scripture and history of the culture and times, but you never provide any scripture or references for what you speak so all I have to go by is a carnal teaching you present.
Hello? You don't know what scripture I'm talking about?

they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while. ~Revelation 17:10

What is that Babylon in this verse talking about? The one that currently is existing at the time of this vision? Of course it's Rome! This is your problem. Rome can not possibly be one of the five that have fallen therefore. So it cannot possibly be the kingdom of iron in Nebuchadnezzar's dream! Read the scriptures plainly and you will see that it clearly tells us who the Babylons are.

Matthew 23:30-37KJV
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 Ye serpents, ye generation 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 ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
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.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
You don't understand that your associations don't make for interpretation. When I point out that the scripture clearly states that Rome is the 6th Babylon, this has nothing to do with the prostitute. This has to do with the fact that Rome can not be in Nebuchadnezzar's dream because of Revelation 17:10.

Swallow that down. Get that in your system and move on.
 
Jerusalem is not mystery Babylon as the city is only the place where the son of perdition will take his seat as the Mossad and the one who controls the Mossad is the government that presides over Jerusalem. The son of perdition, Islamic Imams, Arab League and the Middle East Quartet that comprises the U.S., Russia, the EU, the United Nations and possibly China who wants in on the peace plans are working on an agreement of who will govern Jerusalem as a peacemaker between the Arab countries and Israel.

To make the peace plan between Israel and the Arab countries a reality the Liberal Zionists must also agree with this peace treaty. Only when the Liberal Zionists are willing to surrender then the son of perdition can preside over a new neutral administration with its power seat on the exact spot where God’s temple that was first built by Solomon and then rebuilt by Ezra was once located, but destroyed in 70AD and stood vacant for a few centuries until the Muslims took control over the temple mount building the Dome of the Rock around 692 AD. The Christian Zionists and Religious Jewish Judaism is the only thing that holds back the last man of lawlessness (son of perdition) from taking his seat in Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is clearly "Mystery Babylon" as identified in post #25

Will you disregard the very simple interpretation of scripture presented, the "Whore" in Revelation 18:24 is guilty of Killing the prophets, and of all the Earth's bloodshed, as Matthew 23:30-37 gives the answer "Clearly"

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

Matthew 23:30-37KJV
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 Ye serpents, ye generation 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 ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
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.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Daniel 11:37 below clearly teaches that this "individual human man" will not regard "The God Of His Fathers", capital "G" the true Hebrew God, the "Antichrist" will be a Jew.

Daniel 11:37KJV
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

"Two Examples" of Biblical interpretations "God Of His Fathers"

2 Kings 21:22KJV
And he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.

2 Chronicles 33:12KJV
And when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

Mossad is an Israeli intelligence agency. There is no "Arab Mossad."

The rest of your post is therefore likewise off-target.
I was in the middle of my post, it has been completed to reflect this, as the "Antichrist" will not be a "Mossad" government agency, but will be an individual human "Jewish Man" who will not regard the God of his fathers.

Thanks for clarification.
 
Ok so there are different views, if this apocalyptic figure will be a world system, an empire or Country, a single figure, (either wholly human or not) or something within us all that we are to overcome via turning to the Lord.

Scripture has many layers of meaning, and nowhere is it more apparent than in the Apocalypse! We should learn from other's views, which does not mean every idea anyone gets is always right; but it does mean God is bigger than we can fathom, and so is His revelation.

It's worth noting here that the only legitimate debate about what to include in the Canon was over Revelation. Everything else included was obvious, because it had long been used in the churches during worship services. Revelation wasn't read in Church, and many wanted to exclude it. I am very glad it's part of our Canon! God can speak to me through it ...
 
Hello? You don't know what scripture I'm talking about?

they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while. ~Revelation 17:10

What is that Babylon in this verse talking about? The one that currently is existing at the time of this vision? Of course it's Rome! This is your problem. Rome can not possibly be one of the five that have fallen therefore. So it cannot possibly be the kingdom of iron in Nebuchadnezzar's dream! Read the scriptures plainly and you will see that it clearly tells us who the Babylons are.

I never said Rome was one of the five that have fallen. One cannot determine that of just one scripture as it takes the study of the full context found in the OT and NT plus the history of these ten nations.

There were ten kingdoms. Three kingdoms that were subdued by the little horn of Daniel 7:24 are the Heruli, Vandals, and Ostrogoths who were eliminated by the year 538 AD under the leadership of the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian whose deadly wound came in 1798.

Seven remaining nations that still exist today:

Babylonian Empire:
(Iraq) The lion represents the winged lions that guarded the royal places of Babylon. This Empire ran from 2000BC - 1759BC

Medo – Persian Empire:
(Iran) The ribs of the bear are part of the consuming greed that devours the first empire. This Empire ran approximently from 536BC - 330BC

Grecian Empire:
(Greece, Turkey, Syria, Egypt) Four wings of the leopard described the swiftness of this empire that ran from 334-331BC. It wrestled world dominion from Medo-Persia. After the death of Alexander the Great the kingdom was divided into four minor kingdoms that continued as prominent factors in world politics until the Roman Empire gathered it back as one kingdom.

Roman Empire: (little horn, Daniel 8:9-14, 23-27)
Iron represents the stronghold this nation had. Daniel chapter 2 mentions the iron element of this empire that it to will be divided and broken as God will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed.
This Empire ran from 753BC -27BC and again from 64AD -1453AD.

The beast rises up out of the sea, Rev 13, as the sea here is symbolic of people and nations as in a sea of humanity, Daniel Chapter 7:1-8; Revelation 17:15. The seven heads are that of the Babylonian Empire, Medo/Persian Empire, Grecian Empire and Roman Empire. The ten horns represent the nations the Roman Empire scattered to when it received a deadly wound in 1798, Daniel 7:23-25.

These ten nations were the Anglo-Saxons (English), the Franks (French), Suevi (Portuguese), Visigoths (Spanish), Burgundians (Swiss), Alemanni (Germans), Lombards (Italians), Ostrogoths, Heruli, and the Vandals in northern Africa. The last three being Ostrogoths, Heruli, and the Vandals had already been destroyed by the Roman Empire before their deadly wound came in 1798. The deadly wound was healed in 1929.

I strongly disagree that Rome is the Whore, Mystery Babylon The Great, and the 1929 Lateran Treaty has nothing to do with a deadly wound being healed.

Wikipedia: The Lateran Treaty was one of the Lateran Pacts of 1929 or Lateran Accords, agreements made in 1929 between the Kingdom of Italy and the Holy see
 
You request a link for reference on the seven hills of Jerusalem?

It's in the very post #25 that you reference, as you defer from this truth, "Why"?
The Seven Hills Of Jerusalem, By Ernest L. Martin, Ph.D.

the City of Jerusalem as it existed in the time of Christ Jesus was also reckoned to be the "City of Seven Hills." This fact was well recognized in Jewish circles. In the Pirke de-Rabbi Eliezer, an 8th century midrashic narrative (section 10), the writer mentioned without commentary (showing that the understanding was well known and required no defense) that "Jerusalem is situated on seven hills"(recorded in The Book of Legends, edited by Bialik and Ravnitzky, p. 371, paragraph 111). And, so it was. Those "seven hills" are easy to identify.

If one starts with the Mount of Olives just to the east of the main City of Jerusalem (but still reckoned to be located within the environs of Jerusalem), there are three summits to that Mount of Olives:
The northern summit (hill) is called Scopus [Hill One],
The middle summit (hill) was called Nob [Hill Two],
The highest point of Olivet itself, and the southern summit (hill) was called in the Holy Scriptures the "Mount of Corruption" or "Mount of Offence" [Hill Three] (II Kings 23:13).
On the middle ridge between the Kedron and the Tyropoeon Valleys there was (formerly) in the south "Mount Zion" [Hill Four] (the original "Mount Zion" and not the later southwest hill that was later called by that name),
The "Ophel Mount" [Hill Five],
To the north of that the "Rock" around which "Fort Antonia" was built [Hill Six],
And finally, there was the southwest hill itself [Hill Seven] that finally became known in the time of Simon the Hasmonean as the new "Mount Zion."

I do apologize as it was referenced, but I still refute Jerusalem being the seven hills that is presented in Rev 17 even though Jerusalem also sits on seven hills like many cities do. The original Temple Mount that the Dome of the Rock has sat on since 691AD in Jerusalem will be the place where the lawless one being the son of perdition, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 will come to take his seat as even now the Dome of the Rock is being refurbished to that of what exist on the seven hills in Rev 17. ToS prevents me from going into greater detail.

Do you believe the Antichrist, Lawless One, Son Of Perdition will be a Jew, Arab?

What Ethnic Race will he be?
