Mystery Babylon of the End Time prophecies has been debated by bible scholars since the time of John wrote about it. The city that sits on seven hills was thought to be a code word for Rome. What exactly does scripture say about the identity of Mystery Babylon?<\/span><\/p>\n

With the Fig Tree nation, \u201cIsrael\u201d being reborn in this generation, the desire to solve the identity of Mystery Babylon is more urgent than ever. By looking at the facts side by side with scripture, we hope that a clear answer to the identity of Babylon will emerge.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the Beginning \u2013 Some History on Babylon<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Babylon was built by Nimrod. Nimrod was a very significant man in ancient times, the grandson of Ham and great-grandson of Noah. Nimrod started his kingdom at Babylon (Gen. 10:10<\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n

Satan’s plan was to develop a system of religion to attract worship away from God and introduce confusion. Nimrod built the religious system of sun god worship and linked himself to this sun god. After his father Cush died, Nimrod married his mother Semiramis <\/span>to gain power.<\/span><\/p>\n

Queen Semiramis, Nimrod’s wife and mother started much of the pagan religious symbols that are mixed into our lives today. Bel or Baal is another name for Nimrod. Baal and Ishtar worship resulted in Easter (“Ishtar’s”) Eggs, Ishtar’s Bunnies, Yule Logs and Christmas Trees. Semiramis’<\/span> symbol became the moon and her husband\/son Nimrod, was then called \u201cBaal\u201d the \u201csun god\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

Baal and Ishtar worship caught on fast and spread to many parts of the world. Nimrod and Semiramis became Isis, Osiris, Horus, Ashterath, Tammuz, Aphrodite, Eros, Venus, Al-ilah, Allat, Hubal, <\/span>Hubaal <\/span>and<\/span> Cybele<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span> The pagan sun and moon god worship spread into the surrounding tribes in pre-Islamic Arabia and most of the Middle East, Africa and later into Greece and Rome.<\/span><\/p>\n

Abraham was instructed by God to go out of the land of his fathers to isolate his bloodline from the wide spread of Baal worship in the descendants of Noah.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Genesis 12:1<\/a> <\/strong>Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:<\/p>\n

The city of Babylon was the seat of Satan worship until its fall to the Medes and the Persians in 539 BC. At this time the Babylonian pagan priests left Babylon and went to Alexandria and Pergamos. <\/span><\/p>\n

Revelation 2:<\/strong>12<\/a> And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 13<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, <\/span>even<\/em><\/span> where Satan’s seat <\/span>is<\/em><\/span>: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas <\/span>was<\/em><\/span> my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cybele<\/strong> the \u201cMother Moon Goddess\u201d worship was associated with a BLACK STONE or meteorite that had fallen from the sky. The Simulacrum of Cybele, black iron <\/span>meteorite fell and crashed into the temple of Cybele. The black stone is thought to have been moved from Pergamos in Turkey to Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Muslims believe that the black stone in the Kaaba has the power to cleanse worshipers of their sins by absorbing them into itself. Late Islamic masculinization of the Cybele Moon Goddess has been linked by excavation in Arabia to \u201cAl-Lat or Al-Ilat\u201d who became Allah.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cybele’s crown is the tower of Babel and her symbol is the Cresent Moon<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The worship of Cybele in Rome, resulted in the construction of a temple complex on what today is Vatican Hill. <\/span>The massive foundation catacombs and the Temple complex is recorded to have taken 13 years to build between 204 and 191 BC. This is the location of Vatican City today.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Babylon which held Daniel, Jeremiah and Ezekiel captive is not the Babylon described in the last days as Mystery Babylon or the Daughter of Babylon. Babylon the original old city was never destroyed but passed from Persia to Greece, to Rome, and was abandoned during the rise of Islam in the region. The original Babylon did not fulfill the prophecies of the book of Revelation, Isaiah or Jeremiah. However the moon god religion of the original Babylon lives on today in Islam and the pagan symbols of sun god worship is seen mixed into the early Roman Church under Constantine.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mystery Babylon of the End Times Prophecies<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As with many prophecies in the Bible sometimes they have dual meanings. God conveys to the prophet a meaning about his current situation and then extends it into the future. We see the current \u2013 to – future extension in the book of Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel and Jeremiah. When God is talking about Babylon during the captivity of Judea by Nebuchadnezzar, He also extends the time-line to convey the future prophecy concerning Babylon also. In the book of Daniel the old Babylon passes to the Medes and Persians, followed by Greece and Rome and was finally abandoned during the rise of Islam. All prophecy concerning the destruction of Babylon is future<\/strong>. The old Babylon in Iraq was never destroyed in the way described in prophecy.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Bible indicates that in the last days a new Babylon will be built to a new glory and greatness:<\/span><\/p>\n

Babylon is called \u201cBabylon the Great\u201d<\/strong> (Revelation 14:8, 16:19, 18:2). We also see \u201cGreat Babylon, that mighty<\/strong> city\u201d<\/strong> (Revelation 18:10, 17:18, 18:16).<\/span><\/p>\n

We also see that the Babylon in the last days will be destroyed by fire which contaminates the land so none can pass through it. This points to possible nuclear radiation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeremiah 51:29<\/a> conveys Babylon being destroyed to the extent that there will not be any inhabitants. Jeremiah 51:37<\/a> tells us Babylon has turned into \u201ca dwelling place of dragons, horror and hissing, without inhabitants.\u201d\u00a0 In Jeremiah <\/a>51:43<\/a>, not only will no one inhabit Babylon, the destruction by fire contaminates the land \u201cthrough which no son of man passes.\u201d\u00a0 The contamination prevents people from traveling even around the land.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lets take a look at some of the parallel prophecies that lets us know we are talking about an End Times Babylon:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We can also see the dual prophetic connections in the book of Isaiah concerning Babylon:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Isaiah 21:9<\/a> <\/strong>And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with<\/em> a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.<\/p>\n

Revelation 18:2<\/a> <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The repetition of the phrase is fallen, is fallen<\/strong> connects the two passages.<\/span><\/p>\n

We see parallel accounts of a description of Babylon in a second place in Isaiah and Jeremiah and lastly in Revelation:<\/span><\/p>\n

Isaiah 13:19<\/a> <\/strong><\/span><\/span>And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jeremiah 51:25<\/a> <\/strong><\/span><\/span>Behold, I <\/span><\/span>am<\/em><\/span><\/span> against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Revelation 18:2<\/a> 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.<\/h6>\n
8<\/a>Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.<\/h6>\n
21<\/a>And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.<\/h6>\n

Attributes of the Mystery Babylon of the End Times<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Daniel’s 7 Headed 10 Horned Beast<\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Daniel 7:2-8<\/a>\u00a0The prophecy speaks of seven kings associated with the seven kingdoms.\u00a0 Five had fallen by Apostle John’s day, Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Media-Persia, and Greece.\u00a0 One king was in power in John’s day, the Emperor of Rome.\u00a0 And the other, the kingdom of the Antichrist, has not yet come. We know from the Book of Daniel 9:26~27<\/a> and Daniel 11:22<\/a> that the last kingdom will be the same people that destroyed the temple in 70 AD (Rome).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The people that destroyed the temple was from Turkey ruled by Rome. We then have 10 kingdoms that will hate the EU but are connected with it in the end as the 10 toes of iron mixed with clay. Remember Daniel’s statue has two legs not just one. (East and West)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The 10 horns are the 10 kings who are in power with the Prince that will confirm the covenant (Assyrian Antichrist). They have one purpose, and that is to unify under the authority of the beast. The woman Mystery Babylon RIDES THE BEAST, meaning she is separate from the beast. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Where is the USA during the End Times of Mystery Babylon<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Revived Holy Roman Empire and the European Union along with the players in the Middle East can not rise to full power while the United States is the Worlds Super Power. Many claim that the United States is Mystery Babylon, but scripture does not back up that claim. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
