As another Lame Cherry matter anti matter.
I received this question from Steven and it is worth revisiting as all questions are.
Hi LC, I hope that this provides a bit of help for you & TL. Question for you- have you ever considered that Mystery Babylon of Rev 18 could be NYC or the USA? Was reading it & the thought occurred to me. Curious of your thoughts. Thank you,
OK is New York City the Babylon of the Bible?
Babylon is a figurative term in Revelation of Jesus the Christ. It is Babylon in the first named empire of the established world system against God's System. It melds with Tyre which again is another figurative reference to satan in other parts of the Bible.
So Babylon is anti God and comes into Judgment.
Revelation 18
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
For an explanation on who this woman is, as she is Babylon, the mother of whores and abominations against God.
Revelation 17
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and bedecked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication;
5 and upon her forehead was a name written: Mystery, Babylon the Great, Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth.
6 And I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
7 And the angel said unto me, “Why dost thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
The Revelation of Jesus the Christ explains what is being shown St. John about this whore who rides the beast. The Beast is a resurrected Roman empire a global empire.
The Scarlet Woman and the Scarlet Beast
17 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying [a]to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”
The whore is detailed even further in being named as a city which sits on 7 Hills. So the location is exact. We are looking for a city, in Europe as that is where the Roman Empire ruled and it has murdered Christians to control religion by force.
The one city is Rome as it sits on 7 hills.
9 “Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
The seven hills of Rome east of the river Tiber form the geographical heart of Rome, within the walls of the city.
What is a reality in this is one of the 7 hills is named Vaticanus, yes the Vatican sits in Rome on the eminent hill. The city which through religion fornicates with world regimes is the Universal or Catholic religion. There is absolutely not any doubt about this.
The fact is after the Pater Pope brings this anti Christ system into world power, this global goverment with 10 European nations united and leading will turn on the Catholics to butcher them.
I will revisit the Catholic reality. In the Acts of the Apostles, a Simon the Sorcerer is featured, in he tried to buy the Holy Ghost Gifts. He was rebuked by Peter and would travel to Rome and there combine cults paganism and Christianity into the Universal religion or Catholic as that is what Catholic means.
Simon Pater or Papa or Simon the Pope founded the Vatican. not St. Peter which is a lie.
Does this mean that New York is not a vile city. Not in the least as it is a whore for the anti Christian system in America too in having sold out the United States long ago. This is though about the resurrected Roman Empire out of Europe and the anti Christ appears at that beast or European Rome revised.
That should be a brief explanation of this with Bible verses to prove the points.
If you desire to know the fate of the United States, I have covered that too. Look in the Bible for Jacob's Trouble or references to the House of Israel. The United States are the leading tribe of the Lost 10, Gilead the first to be exiled across the Jordan. We are Joseph, the most powerful of the tribes and America will face Judgment of it's own, because of our mass sins equal to the Samarian North where God had the Assyrian Germans wipe out 90% of those tribes in populations.
That covers it.
