Jerusalem got destroyed before yes, but this time will be the final blow.

The problem is that Jesus Christ pointed to Jerusalem and clearly stated she was held accountable for the blood of the prophets, there is absolutely no way to get around it. So do all the prophets, so facts are simply facts, she can be no one else.

You try and use singular scriptures, of course out of context, we must go line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little in order to get the big picture.

So who is "Jerusalem" that Jesus is speaking about? Well of course THE PEOPLE, not an inanimate object, so it the PEOPLE of the Holy City or the people of ALL ISRAEL. You see Israel and Judea worshiped FALSE gods, the evil kings were continually worshiping false gods !! Thus its the PEOPLES FAULT that God cursed them and allowed evil to fall upon them, if Israel had of obeyed God they would have never of been defeated !! Do you get that?

So yes, its Israel's (Jerusalem's/People) fault that the Prophets and Saints were killed, many by the kings who did not want to hear what "Thus saith he Lord". When Nathan told David he was a Murderer, he repented, mourned, and accepted his punishment. Other kings simply killed the Prophets and the Saints.

So FALSE RELIGION Killed the Prophets and the Saints thus the Harlot = ALL FALSE RELIGION of all time. The Harlot and Babylon are two separate entities. So of course by not following God, its Jerusalem/people of Israel who are responsible for ALL THE EVIL that came upon themselves and the Prophets. But Jerusalem IS NOT Babylon, that is the WHOLE WORLD just like I showed you. Israel REPENTS at the 1335, so God forgives them and protects them at the 1260.

So whereas Israel were BLINDED now they see when the Two-witnesses show up at he 1335. Jesus clearly stated the next time you (Jerusalem/Israelis) see me again until you say blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.

Matthew 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Babylon is Satan's Dark Kingdom. Not ONE CITY. Who gets hit with all the Plagues of God? The Whole World. When Jesus says come out of her lest you receive of her plagues, what does he mean? Hes telling Israel to FLEE unto Petra. Out of Babylon the world. The World is about to be devastated by the Seals, Trumpets and Vials. When God says she is a habitation of Devils what does He mean? That the WHOLE WORLD just received Satan and his Demons cast down to earth, and they are angry, that Apollyon and his hordes of Demons have been released from the Abyss, thus the whole world (Babylon) is a Habitation of Devils.

Stop taking one verse and allowing it to rule all of your thinking.

Scott, Jesus would never return if Jerusalem were Babylon the Great in Revelation.

Also Babylon and THE HARLOT are TWO DIFFERENT ENTITIES. Read Rev. 17:16, the Harlot is HATED by the Kings who kill her off. In Rev. ch. 18 the same Kings CRY and LAMENT when Babylon Burns !!

Babylon represents the BEAST she rides (False Government under Satan), the Harlot is ALL FALSE RELIGION. That is why the Government side KILLS HER OFF, they replace her with a False Prophet.

Zechariah 14:
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

Scott, have you ever read Ezekiel 39:17-29? It is Jesus speaking after he has destroyed the armies that will gather to fight him at Jerusalem, gathering themselves together at Armageddon, about 50 miles north of Jerusalem.

Verses 17-19 is the same as Revelation 19:17-18.

He recounts the past 2000 years how the Jews were dispersed into the nations. But upon his return, he brings every single one to the land of Israel.

Ezekiel 39:28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
_______________________________________________________________

Scott, I might add if you are not familiar with Ezekiel 39, there is a break in the chapter between verses 16 and 17 - of 7 years - between the lines. But there are not footnotes to tell you that.

Gog/Magog invasion of Israel takes place in Ezekiel 39:1-16. Then 7 years take place, which begins with Israel making a big mistake in thinking the Antichrist is her messiah, King of Israel, for a while. Which ends badly, and Armageddon, verses 17-20, when Jesus returns to rescue the Jews in Jerusalem in Zechariah 14.

Satan's mystical kingdom, Babylon the Great is being likened to a powerful city that is destroyed. It is not a bricks and mortar city in Revelation 18, because no actual city can be responsible for all them slain upon the earth.

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

________________________________________________

The harlot in Revelation 17, which sits on many waters, which the waters are peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues and which also sits on seven mountains with seven kings associated with that location - is the Vatican in Rome.

The Vatican will be destroyed by the ten kings because when they pledge their allegiance to the beast - the Vatican, the RCC, which the political leaders of the EU - and the rest of the world for that matter, have been in bed with her so to speak figuratively - and they will no longer have any use for the Vatican.

The beast and the ten kings are not going to be able to tolerate the coexistence of the biggest visible "Christian" organization in the world. They are going to destroy it and any vestige of Christianity they see.

There are three components to consider in Revelation 17-18...

1. the harlot
2. the beast
3. the kingdom Babylon the Great

They are 3 different entities.

Babylon the Great is not "false" government. What is "false" government anyway? Babylon the Great is a mystical empire.

The harlot technically speaking is probably Semiramis and the beast Nimrod. Which Semiramis' religion spread throughout the ancient world and all the false religions got their start at the tower of Babel.

And ended up in part of the doctrines of the Vatican. The woman John saw was probably Semiramis, but in the end times will be the Vatican/RCC, just like the EU is not actually the Roman Empire but an end times version of it.

The Harlot is actually Semiramis going back to the days of the tower of Babel and Nimrod. That's where all false religions got their start - including that of worship of the beast, if the beast in the bottomless pit is Nimrod.

Semiramis's doctrines, some of which were carried over into the Vatican's/RCC's doctrines and traditions. And it will be the Vatican in Rome that will be destroyed because it got mixed with Christianity... and Christianity is the one thing the beast and ten kings are not going to be able to tolerate it's existence in any form.

That is correct. Mystery Babylon represents all false idolatrous religions which had their roots in Babel and Babylon and exist worldwide.

Worship of the beast will be the biggest false religion of all times.

Correct. It will be the ultimate in idolatry and blasphemy. And it will be worldwide. But there will be a connection with Mystery Babylon since Satan is the originator of both, and the Dragon will be worshiped along with the Beast (Rev 13).

As to the question of the title of this thread, it should really be "Why is Mystery Babylon called Mystery Babylon?" and the answer is twofold: (1) Paul says that the Mystery of Iniquity is already at work in connection with the coming of the Man of Sin (the Beast) and (2) all the ancient pagan religions (which were invariably idolatrous) included "mysteries" (secret religious rites such as the Eleusinian mysteries, in their worship). These included the use of drugs, fornication, drunken orgies, dancing, and of course idolatry and Satan worship. We don't even know what part the counterfeit miracles of Satan ("with all power and signs and lying wonders") will play in all of this.

Hi Micah888, Cain slew Abel. So Mystery, what is Babylon the Great? It is the mystical kingdom of Satan and the rebellious angels. No false religions around at the time of Cain and Abel.

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

I disagree brother, likewise the Harlot has all the Blood of the SAINTS & the PROPHETS on her, thus it can't be the RCC/Vatican who has only been around for 1600 years or so. Its Mystical Babylon, I did a piece on this the other night, I will post it later, showing whence Mystical Babylon came forth from, I think you will lie it. I haven't added it here yet because I was thinking of maybe doing a thread. The Church is Raptured, the Remnant Church is all that is left on earth. The Beast and his kings will destroy ALL RELIGION in order to be worshiped as THE ONLY GOD !!

The BEAST and Babylon are basically the SAME THING, except the former Beasts were just the Beast of the Mediterranean Sea, this last Beast will be WORLD WIDE thus it will be basically all of Babylon, but the Beast is an EARTHLY KINGDOM and Babylon is Satan's Dark Kingdom's on earth, this since the last Kingdom is WORLD WIDE, its basically the same thing. Babylon is False Governance of MANKIND under Satan. Thus the HEAD of the Statue is Babylon. The Harlot is the MYSTICAL PART (which I will show later).

False Government is mankind not following God's Stewardship, of course. Notice the Statue has CLAY (Demonic Rule) mixed with Iron, thus its UNSTABLE and it will not stand. Jesus on the other hand is the ROCK of our foundation. The Harlot refers to the actual beginning, but its all over the world now. It started with Semiramis and Nimrod, I am impressed brother Douggg. But since it has spread all over the world its the great Harlot, and includes Islam also which is th biggest part of the Harlot.

Douggg said:

Well of course brother since God uses the Beast/Kings to destroy/Judge the Harlot they aren't going to destroy themselves, Jesus/Holy Spirit will have to destroy the very LAST False Religious Entity, which will be THE BEAST. The Harlot of course is ALL FALSE RELIGION before the Beast.

Douggg said:

Again, we have been over this before. God NATURALLY will have to destroy the LAST BEAST Himself. He uses the Kings to destroy all the other False Religions. But that's just common sense brother.

Douggg said:

Well, not quite, Semiramis was a FORERUNNER or TYPE. Its like the Antiochus Epophanes being a type of the Anti-Christ, Semiramis represents the Spirit of False Religion, Occultism, the worship of False Gods, and Babylon was its ZENITH, but there was FALSE GODS and FALSE WORSHIP, as you know before her, she just Represents its ZENITH !!

It actually had more to d with European Customs coming to the New World. The Germans brought over the Easter Bunny. You guys put way too much emphasis on these things to me. Jesus Christ is worshiped in the RCC.

I will post my Mystical Babylon stuff next. I was thinking of doing and addendum to my Babylon thread, but I will just post it below.

Revealing Times · Apr 29, 2018

Here you go Douggg, my take on Semiramis and Nimrod.

Mystery, - Babylon EXPLAINED as per the Religious side. Why would ANYONE follow a Church hierarchy that missed the Rapture? Its not happening brother. HINT: here is a little secret tidbit, I am not saying the RCC hierarchy can't be a part of the Harlot, as can other churches but I am saying the RCC is not THE HARLOT.

The Harlot has to stretch from the beginning of mankind till the end. The Clues mandate this, she has the blood of the Saints AND the Martyrs of Jesus on her hands. The RCC was not even around when all of the Saints were killed. The Harlot is Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Witchcraft, Voodoo, ( Baal, Bel, Belios, Zeus and Jupiter are all the SAME God with a little different name hence the Throne of Satan was the Temple to Zeus in Pergamum). All of the Roman gods, all of the Babylonian gods and demi gods, all of the Egyptian gods are all the same.

The Mystery Religion of Ancient Babylon or Mesopotamia began post flood, and it is the beginning of paganism, all mankind had just been destroyed. This "Mystery Religion" has been told in many different stories via many religions, it consists of a lot of names of many different gods, but they are in affect all actually the same gods but just different cultures, different times, all the same stories and the explanation to what Mystery Babylon is in its simplest form is that it is simply polytheism and or paganism: WATCH THIS:

Polytheism is the belief in MANY GODS: The true knowledge or the goals of these gods were only given to the few. The high priests and priestess who passed down the religion.They required a sacrifice to the gods and they were the only ones that could commune with the gods. They held the secret knowledge which gave them power over the ones who did not have the knowledge. Well you get the point.

In Polytheism its always the same structure in most cultures, one man is god, one virgin woman who was the mother of god, and a son of the mother who was impregnated from the male god.

Paganism = Father god, Mother god and the Son of god.

Paganism came from the line of Ham via Cush see Genesis ch. 10. He created the rebellion against the real God via the Tower of Babel. They wanted to challenge the power of God. So God just confused their languages and put a stop to this nonsense, but Nimrod arose, he was a Mighty hunter and became leader of the Assyrian/Babylonian Empire. Nimrod began these Mystery Religions, but they spread all around the World hence MYSTERY BABYLON is world wide by the time the Angel explains it to us in Revelation chapter 17. Not quite as deep as I am going to explain it here, but nevertheless, we should be able to understand the Angel.

Nimrod = sun god
Semiramis = moon goddess, the mother and wife of Nimrord
Tammuz = the son of good.

The Ancient Babylonian god Nebo = Nabu = Nimrod = Ba'al this is the BIRTH of the Occult. It all leads back to Nimrod, and it even goes back further to Cain in reality. The MARK OF CAIN !!

So we have Nimrod the sun god, Semiramis the moon god and Tammuz the son of god. Nimrod communicated with the Spirit World of course. They preformed human sacrifices, he was seen as god, he challenged Gods authority. Now Shem, abhorred or hated these abominations and he killed Nimrod, cut him up in pieces and sent him to all the cities Nimrod ruled over to show that he was NOT GOD!! He wanted the people to stop doing what they were doing and to start worshiping and obeying God again. This threw a kink in Satan's plans. BUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT ?

Semiramis happened !! The Mother of Harlots. She was the wife of Cush and the mother of Nimrod, she claimed to be divinely born. She married Nimrod after Cush lost power, her own son. After Nimrod was killed she became pregnant and told everyone it was the "Spirit of Nimrod" that impregnated her. (LOL, LOL). She claimed she was having a "Virgin Birth" from the spirit of Nimrod.

Her son was going to be the Savior to defeat the serpent when in reality they were worshiping the serpent. She managed to get them to believe that Nimrod ascended to the sun, and she conceived via the sun rays. He was to now be worshiped as Baal, the Sun-god. She made herself a goddess and claimed that she was divinely created, she was in effect the moon-goddess. She had them believing she came from the moon in a giant moon egg.

The queen of Babylon aka Semiramis became known as the moon-goddess Ishtar. Tammuz was the Son of god or the Sun-god REBORN !! He was killed by a wild pig, Semiramis, now Ishtar stated that he ascended to the sun like his father and they now are a union. Semiramis/Ishtar continued on with her false religious worship and sacrifices, but because of Shem and their constant defeat by God they CHANGED TACTICS, what was once done out in the open would now be done IN SECRET. The Secret Societies so to speak. All of these dark practices would henceforth be done in the dark, it would become a MYSTERY, only completely revealed unto those that were WORTHY !! You know, the high priests and priestesses. Some say the Free Masons etc. etc.

So now you know what the MYSTERY RELIGION was/is. This is how it was Created. But alas, this Mystery Religion spread amongst all the ancient empires of Babylon, Egypt, Persia, Greece and Rome, this is what Paganism is. The stories may change, the name of the gods may change, but there are ALWAYS THREE CENTRAL FIGURES with a very specific structure.

The Father god who is the Sun-god.
The Mother god who is the Moon-goddess.
The Son of god who is the Sun-god REBORN.

Babylon had Nimrod, Semiramis, and Tammuz.

Egypt had Ra, Isis and Horus.

Greece had Zeus, Artemis and Adonis

Rome had Jupiter, Dianna and Apollo.

The Nordic's had Odin, Joro and Thor.

The Hindu's had Vishnu, Chandra and Krishna

Satan seeks to confuse and deceive of course. He knew the SEED would bruise his heel (Die and be Resurrected) and thus bruise the Serpents head. So he knew there had to be a Virgin Birth and a death and resurrection to take away the sins of all mankind, so he set out to copy/imitate and deceive the masses with his MYSTERY RELIGION or with ALL FALSE RELIGION worldwide.

Now did the RCC crossover into some of these erroneous practices? I think they did, they treat Mary more akin to the moon-goddess hence the Madonna and the baby. But they did not introduced the bunny rabbits and eggs however, at least not in America, that seems to have arrived in America via a German tradition in the 1700's. German immigrants who settled in Pennsylvania and transported their tradition of an egg-laying hare called “Osterhase” or “Oschter Haws.” Their children made nests in which this creature could lay its colored eggs. So I think its more of a "European" thing, we in America took the MANY TRADITIONS of the many cultures who migrated here and kind of mixed them all into one bag, the bad and the good. But they did not all come from the RCC. More or less most of these practices are from IGNORANCE, not from people actually seeking to worship false gods, and with God, He looks at our hearts intent.

So whenever you see a male god and a female god at the head of the hierarchy and there is a "Virgin Birth" you know this is MYSTERY BABYLON , even if there are 100's of other gods, these three are always at the Head or at the Hierarchy of the MYSTERY BABYLON Religion. Have some of these traditions creeped into the RCC? Well, maybe, but the RCC is not the Great Harlot nor can it be. The Harlot is ALL FALSE RELIGIONS of ALL TIME and it was Birthed by Nimrod in Babylon.

Babylon, The Harlot and the Seven Headed Beast Explained

The book of Revelation speaks about two women.
One is the church of God
another one is the harlot of babylon which is the FAKE CHURCH OF CHRISTIANITY, thats why its called the mystery because it disguises herself so cleverly like an angel of light. It is the church but the church of fake Christianity !

The mystery is... God's once righteous faithful people sinfully rebel against God and become Babylon harlots.

How the faithful city has become a harlot, She who was full of justice! Righteousness once lodged in her, But now murderers.

Isaiah 1:21

In the OT, God is married to Israel. Over and over God calls Israel a harlot because she is unfaithful to God and goes after her foreign lovers [false gods.] God divorced the Northern Kingdom of Israel for being an adulterous harlot... and punished the Southern Kingdom of Israel [Judah] with the Babylonian captivity.

Revelation 18:24 tells us that Babylon is responsible for the blood of prophets and saints and all who were slain on the earth.

In Matthew 23:27-39, similar language is used when Jesus accuses the Scribes and Pharisees [who only appear righteous but are really abominations] of the same as Babylon is accused in Revelation 18:24.

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.

Matthew 23:35

Ultimately, in all the earth, God's people when they are in sinful rebellion against God are the ones responsible for the earth's abominations... because they are God's people who were given God's holy standard of righteousness and denied it.

You only have I chosen among all the families of the earth; Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

Amos 3:2
