This information doesn't automatically mean that the catholic church is mystery Babylon, there are other possible conclusions one could draw from it, such as mine, which is that this information just fits in with other information about the catholic church mixing pagan practices with christianity. Really whatever mystery Babylon is, it isn't clearly spelled out.
For example no verse says the catholic church is mystery Babylon, and no verse says that occultic religion will be mystery Babylon (my opinion). And I could be wrong, but that's how I see it.

Blame it on Luther....he started it by stating the RC Papacy was the AC, which the Sabbatarians also believe.

Martin Luther identifies the Antichrist over 500 years ago!


The quote copied below is from one of Martin Luther's last books. It was titled: "A Prelude by Martin Luther on the Babylonian Captivity of the Church". The Web link for the complete text of the book is at the end of the article.

Page 536, chapter 3.

"Nevertheless, since few know this glory of baptism and the blessedness of Christian liberty, and cannot know them because of the tyranny of the pope, I for one will walk away from it all and redeem my conscience by bringing this charge against the pope and all his papists: Unless they will abolish their laws and traditions, and restore to Christ's churches their liberty and have it taught among them, they are guilty of all the souls that perish under this miserable captivity, and the papacy is truly the kingdom of Babylon, yes, the kingdom of the real Antichrist!

For who is " the man of sin" and "the son of perdition" but he that with his doctrines and his laws increases sins and the perdition of souls in the Church, while he sits in the Church as if he were God?
All this the papal tyranny has fulfilled, and more than fulfilled, these many centuries. It has extinguished faith, obscured the sacraments and oppressed the Gospel."

1 Peter 5:13
She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark.

Peter was in the Roman Empire witnessing when he wrote this.

Um, the Roman Empire pretty much had control of Israel, including Jerusalem. Then like anyone wanting freedom, the Jews revolted against Rome and paid the ultimate penalty........

John 11:48
"If-ever we may be be letting Him thus, all shall be believing in Him.
And shall be coming the Romans and they shall be taking away of Us and the Place and the Nation
[Reve 6:6/14:8]

Revelation 6:6
And I hear a voice in midst of the four living-ones saying: "choinex of grain/wheat a denarius and three choinex of barleys a denarius, and the oil and the wine no you should be injuring".
[John 11:48]

[Mark51]

"Babylon," at Revelation 17:5, refers to the world empire of false religion.

There are only two bodies in existence, the body of the living and the body of the dead. Everybody that rests in the shadow of our Lords cross is of the living, and everyone else is of Mystery Babylon. Try and think of a person and their false beliefs that IS NOT part of MB. Please don’t fixate yourselves on trying to find a Geo specific location for MB. For everything that is not of GOD is MB i.e. assets, people, philosophies.

The "Jews" CAN'T be one of the two witnesses for they teach Messiah NOT crucified. Which is no different than any other false belief.

The two witnesses don't arrive until the 6th Trumpet.

Anyone noticed a moutain all-ablaze falling into the sea? Nope, me neither. We are not past Trumpet 2 yet.
