Mystery Babylon is Apostate Jerusalem and it's Offsring







Revelation 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6.  And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.

Luke 13:33.  "Nevertheless I must journey today, tomorrow, and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.

Many descriptions of Babylon and Jerusalem in prophecy are interchangeable. Often it is a dual prophecy in which judgment occurs upon geographical Babylon in the short term whereas it is a long term judgment for Jerusalem  The blood of the saints, prophets, apostles, servants and righteous are usually described as being found in Babylon or Jerusalem. There are other derogatory nicknames given to earthly Jerusalem such as Sodom and Egypt which may confuse the issue to some readers. Sometimes she is described as the mother and other times the daughter of Babylon. Jesus made it clear in the scriptures above and below that Jerusalem was responsible for the death and persecution of all prophets, wise men, scribes and righteous people.

Matthew 23: 34.  "Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35.  "that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36.  "Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.  37.  "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38.  "See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39.  "for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, `Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!' ''

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

Revelation 11:3.  "And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.''

Revelation 11:7.  Now when they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them.  8.  And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

Lamentations 4:11.  The Lord has fulfilled His fury, He has poured out His fierce anger. He kindled a fire in Zion, and it has devoured its foundations.  12.  The kings of the earth, and all inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy could enter the gates of Jerusalem   13.  Because of the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests, who shed in her midst the blood of the just.

Jerusalem is the bloody city

Ezekiel 21:1.  And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,  2.  "Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, preach against the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel;

Ezekiel 22:1.  Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2.  "Now, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Yes, show her all her abominations!  3.  "Then say, `Thus says the Lord God: "The city sheds blood in her own midst, that her time may come; and she makes idols within herself to defile herself.  4.  "You have become guilty by the blood which you have shed, and have defiled yourself with the idols which you have made. You have caused your days to draw near, and have come to the end of your years; therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mockery to all countries.

The sickbed of the bloody woman who must be purified seven days in reference to the seventy years of judgment pronounced upon Jerusalem and its people.

Leviticus 15:19.  `If a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her body is blood, she shall be set apart seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening.  20.  `Everything that she lies on during her impurity shall be unclean; also everything that she sits on shall be unclean.  21.  `Whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.  22.  `And whoever touches anything that she sat on shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.  23.  `If anything is on her bed or on anything on which she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until evening. 24.  `And if any man lies with her at all, so that her impurity is on him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean.  25.  `If a woman has a discharge of blood for many days, other than at the time of her customary impurity, or if it runs beyond her usual time of impurity, all the days of her unclean discharge shall be as the days of her customary impurity. She shall be unclean.  26.  `Every bed on which she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her as the bed of her impurity; and whatever she sits on shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her impurity.  27.  `Whoever touches those things shall be unclean; he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.  28.  `But if she is cleansed of her discharge, then she shall count for herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.

The Hebrew word used for Babylon is Babel, which is interpreted: confusion and is the same title of the city and tower built by all the peoples of the world to try to ascend to the heights of God.

Genesis 11:1.  Now the whole earth had one language and one speech.  2.  And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.  3.  Then they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.'' They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.  4.  And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.''  5.  But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.  6.  And the Lord said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.  7.  "Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.''  8.  So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.  9. Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

The earthly city of Jerusalem has been defiled by the Babylonians which came into her bed of love and defiling them, hence we get the name Mystery Babylon or secret Babylon.

Ezekiel 23:17.  "Then the Babylonians came to her, into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their harlotry; so she was polluted by them, and severed her mind from me.  18.  She revealed her harlotry and uncovered her nakedness. then I severed My mind from her, as I had severed my mind from her sister.

Ezekiel 23:4.  Their names: Oholah the elder and Oholibah her sister; they were Mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem is Oholibah.

Ezekiel 23:11.  "Now although her sister Oholibah saw this, she became more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her harlotry more corrupt than her sister's harlotry.

Ezekiel 23:44.  "Yet they went in to her, as men go in to a woman who plays the harlot; thus they went in to Oholah and Oholibah, the lewd women.  45.  "But righteous men will judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.

Mystery Babylon practices the religion of Satan

Ezekiel 13:17.  "Likewise, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; prophesy against them,  18.  "and say, `Thus says the Lord God: "Woe to the women who sew magic charms on their sleeves and make veils for the heads of people of every height to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of My people, and keep yourselves alive?  19.  "And will you profane Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, killing people who should not die, and keeping people alive who should not live, by your lying to My people who listen to lies?''  20.  `Therefore thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I am against your magic charms by which you hunt souls there like birds. I will tear them from your arms, and let the souls go, the souls you hunt like birds.  21.  "I will also tear off your veils and deliver My people out of your hand, and they shall no longer be as prey in your hand. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.'' 22.  "Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and you have strengthened the hands of the wicked, so that he does not turn from his wicked way to save his life.  23.  "Therefore you shall no longer envision futility nor practice divination; for I will deliver My people out of your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.'' ' ''

Jeremiah 5:26.  `For among My people are found wicked men; they lie in wait as one who sets snares; they set a trap; they catch men.  27.  As a cage is full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit. Therefore they have become great and grown rich.

Today the ancient city of Babylon is no mystery because it is easily located in the country of Iraq. To understand who the mother of harlots is, one must thoroughly study the Old Testament prophecies along with the book of Revelation and perform word searches with a concordance. Many times God gives derogatory nicknames to his own people who are called by his name and claim to follow the one true God of Israel and or Jesus as we see in the world today but in their heart and actions it is not so.

Isaiah 29:13.  Therefore the Lord said: "Inasmuch as these people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,

Ezekiel 33:31.  "So they come to you as people do, they sit before you as My people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their hearts pursue their own gain.

Matthew 15:7.  "Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
8.  `These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.  9.  And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.

Titus 1:15.  To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. 16.  They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.

The gender of these names and large groups of people are usually female, which is also indicated in the mother of harlots.  Any group of people who are married to the Lord God Almighty or divorced from him are in prophetical terms female. The good wife spoken of in Proverbs 31 is spiritually the true church of God. The opposite is spiritually a harlot or whore, which is a large group of people who have been unfaithful to God and are divorced from him through apostasy as they have followed after other gods and idols or they never knew him at all.

Jeremiah 3:1.  "They say, `If a man divorces his wife, and she goes from him and becomes another man's, may he return to her again?' Would not that land be greatly polluted? But you have played the harlot with many lovers; yet return to Me,'' says the Lord.  2.  "Lift up your eyes to the desolate heights and see: where have you not lain with men? By the road you have sat for them like an Arabian in the wilderness; and you have polluted the land with your harlotries and your wickedness.  3:3...and you have a whoresforehead, thou refuse to be ashamed.

Isaiah 1:21.  How the faithful city has become a harlot! It was full of justice; righteousness lodged in it, but now murderers.

The entire chapter of Ezekiel 16 speaks to Jerusalem about her sins and is indicative of her stature among all the harlots of the earth.

Ezekiel 16:1.  Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2.  "Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations.

Ezekiel 16:15.  "But you trusted in your own beauty, played the harlot because of your fame, and poured out your harlotry on everyone passing by who would have it. 16.  "You took some of your garments and adorned multicolored high places for yourself, and played the harlot on them. Such things should not happen, nor be.  17.  "You have also taken your beautiful jewelry from My gold and My silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself male images and played the harlot with them.

Ezekiel 16:20.  "Moreover you took your sons and your daughters, whom you bore to Me, and these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your acts of harlotry a small matter, 21.  "that you have slain My children and offered them up to them by causing them to pass through the fire? 22.  "And in all your abominations and acts of harlotry you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, struggling in your blood.25. Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to everyone that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.  26.  "You also committed harlotry with the Egyptians, your very fleshly neighbors, and increased your acts of harlotry to provoke Me to anger.

Ezekiel 16:28.  "You also played the harlot with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; indeed you played the harlot with them and still were not satisfied.  29.  "Moreover you multiplied your acts of harlotry as far as the land of the trader, Chaldea; and even then you were not satisfied." 30.  "How degenerate is your heart!'' says the Lord God, "seeing you do all these things, the deeds of a brazen harlot.  31.  "You erected your shrine at the head of every road, and built your high place in every street. Yet you were not like a harlot, because you scorned payment. 32. But as a wife that commits adultery who takes strangers instead of her husband! 33.  "Men make payment to all harlots, but you made your payments to all your lovers, and hired them to come to you from all around for your harlotry.  34.  "You are the opposite of other women in your harlotry, because no one solicited you to be a harlot. In that you gave payment but no payment was given you, therefore you are the opposite.'' 35.  `Now then, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord! 36.  `Thus says the Lord God: "Because your filthiness was poured out and your nakedness uncovered in your harlotry with your lovers, and with all your abominable idols, and because of the blood of your children which you gave to them,  37.  "surely, therefore, I will gather all your lovers with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved, and all those you hated; I will gather them from all around against you and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.38. And I will judge thee as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged: and I will give you blood in fury and jealousy.

Ezekiel 16:41.  "They shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will make you cease playing the harlot, and you shall no longer hire lovers.

Ezekiel 16: 46. And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwells at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.47. Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways.

Ezekiel 23:1.  The word of the Lord came again to me, saying:  2.  "Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.  3.  They committed harlotry in Egypt, they committed harlotry in their youth; their breasts were there embraced, their virgin bosom was there pressed.  4.  Their names: Oholah the elder and Oholibah her sister; they were Mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem is Oholibah.

Jeremiah 13:26.  Therefore I will uncover your skirts over your face, that your shame may appear.  27.  I have seen your adulteries and your lustful neighings, the lewdness of your harlotry, your abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! Will you still not be made clean?''

Mount Moriah in Jerusalem was previously a threshingfloor for grain.

Isaiah 21:9.  And look, here comes a chariot of men with a pair of horsemen!'' and he answered and said, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen! And all the carved images of her gods he has broken to the ground.''  10.  Oh, my threshing and the grain of my floor! That which I have heard from the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, I have declared to you.

Jeremiah 51:33.  For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.

2 Chronicles 3:1.  Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

1 Chronicles 21:15.  And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the Lord beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

Isaiah 47:1.  "Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no more be called tender and delicate.  2.  Take the millstones and grind meal. Remove your veil, take off the skirt, uncover the thigh, pass through the rivers.  3.  Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame will be seen; I will take vengeance, and I will not arbitrate with a man.''  4.  As for our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is His name, the Holy One of Israel.  5.  "Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no longer be called the Lady of Kingdoms.

Deuteronomy 28:56.  "The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground because of her delicateness and sensitivity, will refuse to the husband of her bosom, and to her son and her daughter,  57.  "her placenta which comes out from between her feet, and her children whom she bears; for she will eat them secretly for lack of all things in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress you at all your gates.

Jeremiah 2:28.  But where are your gods that you have made for yourselves? Let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble; for according to the number of your cities are your gods, O Judah.  29.  "Why will you plead with Me? You all have transgressed against Me,'' says the Lord.  30.  "In vain I have chastened your children; they received no correction. Your sword has devoured your prophets like a destroying lion.

Jeremiah 2:34.  Also on your skirts is found the blood of the lives of the poor innocents. I have not found it by secret search, but plainly on all these things.

The words desolate or desolation describe Babylon and Jerusalem.

Leviticus 26: 31.  I will lay your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the fragrance of your sweet aromas. 32.  I will bring the land to desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it. 33.  I will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you; your land shall be desolate and your cities waste.  34.  Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies' land; then the land shall rest and enjoy its sabbaths.  35.  As long as it lies desolate it shall rest for the time it did not rest on your sabbaths when you dwelt in it.

Isaiah 1:1.  The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.  2.  Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth! For the Lord has spoken: "I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against Me; 3. Lift up Your feet to the perpetual desolations. The enemy has damaged everything in the sanctuary.



Isaiah 17:9.  In that day his strong cities will be as a forsaken bough and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel; and there will be desolation.  10.  Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not been mindful of the Rock of your stronghold, therefore you will plant pleasant plants and set out foreign seedlings;

Isaiah 51:17.  Awake, awake! Stand up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of His fury; you have drunk the dregs of the cup of trembling, and drained it out.  18.  There is no one to guide her among all the sons she has brought forth; nor is there any who takes her by the hand among all the sons she has brought up.  19.  These two things have come to you; who will be sorry for you? Desolation and destruction, famine and sword by whom will I comfort you?

Isaiah 64:10.  Your holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

Jeremiah 6:8.  Be instructed, O Jerusalem, lest My soul depart from you; lest I make you desolate, a land not inhabited.''  9.  Thus says the Lord of hosts: "They shall thoroughly glean as a vine the remnant of Israel; as a grape-gatherer, put your hand back into the branches.''

Jeremiah 51:41.  "Oh, how Sheshach is taken! Oh, how the praise of the whole earth is seized! How Babylon has become desolate among the nations!  42.  The sea has come up over Babylon; she is covered with the multitude of its waves.  43.  Her cities are a desolation, a dry land and a wilderness, a land where no one dwells, through which no son of man passes.  44.  I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring out of his mouth what he has swallowed; and the nations shall not stream to him anymore. Yes, the wall of Babylon shall fall.  45.  "My people, go out of the midst of her! And let everyone deliver himself from the fierce anger of the Lord.

Jeremiah 51:49.  As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon the slain of all the earth shall fall.  50.  You who have escaped the sword, get away! Do not stand still! Remember the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come to your mind. 51.  We are ashamed because we have heard reproach. Shame has covered our faces, for strangers have come into the sanctuaries of the Lord's house.  52.  "Therefore behold, the days are coming,'' says the Lord, "That I will bring judgment on her carved images, and throughout all her land the wounded shall groan.  53.  Though Babylon were to mount up to heaven, and though she were to fortify the height of her strength, yet from Me plunderers would come to her,'' says the Lord.

Jeremiah 51:58.  Thus says the Lord of hosts: "The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; the people will labor in vain, and the nations, because of the fire; and they shall be weary.''

Ezekiel 8:15.  Then He said to me, "Have you seen this, O son of man? Turn again, you will see greater abominations than these.''  16.  So He brought me into the inner court of the Lord's house; and there, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping the sun toward the east.  17.  Then He said to me, "Have you seen this, O son of man? Is it a trivial thing to the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence; then they have returned to provoke Me to anger. Indeed they put the branch to their nose.  18.  "Therefore I also will act in fury. My eye will not spare nor will I have pity; and though they cry in My ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.''

Jeremiah 10:22.  Behold, the noise of the report has come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, a den of jackals.

Jeremiah 18:15.  "Because My people have forgotten Me, they have burned incense to worthless idols. And they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways, from the ancient paths, to walk in pathways and not on a highway,
 16.  to make their land desolate and a perpetual hissing; everyone who passes by it will be astonished and shake his head.

Jeremiah 19:7.  "And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies and by the hands of those who seek their lives; their corpses I will give as meat for the birds of the heaven and for the beasts of the earth.  8.  "I will make this city desolate and a hissing; everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.

Jeremiah 50:13.  Because of the wrath of the Lord she shall not be inhabited, but she shall be wholly desolate. Everyone who goes by Babylon shall be horrified and hiss at all her plagues.  14.  "Put yourselves in array against Babylon all around, all you who bend the bow; shoot at her, spare no arrows, for she has sinned against the Lord.

Ezekiel 9:3.  Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer's inkhorn at his side;  4.  and the Lord said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.''  5.  To the others He said in my hearing, "Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity.
 6.  "Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary.'' So they began with the elders who were before the temple.


Jeremiah 7:30.  "For the children of Judah have done evil in My sight,'' says the Lord. "They have set their abominations in the house which is called by My name, to pollute it.  31.  "And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, nor did it come into My heart.  32.  "Therefore behold, the days are coming,'' says the Lord, "when it will no more be called Tophet, or the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter; for they will bury in Tophet until there is no room.  33.  "The corpses of this people will be food for the birds of the heaven and for the beasts of the earth. And no one will frighten them away. 

Revelation 19:17.  Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, "Come and gather together for the supper of the great God,  18.  "that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great.''

Jeremiah 7:34.  "Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride. For the land shall be desolate.

Revelation 18:21.  Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.  22.  "The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. And no craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore. And the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore.  23.  "And the light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore. And the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.  24.  "And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.''

Mother of the abominations of the earth

1 Kings 23:24.  Moreover Josiah put away those who consulted mediums and spiritists, the household gods and idols, all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the Lord.

2 Kings 23:13.  Then the king defiled the high places that were east of Jerusalem, which were on the south of the Mount of Corruption, which Solomon king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the people of Ammon.

Ezekiel 5:5 Thus saith the Lord God: This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her. 6.And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her; for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them...9. And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.

When King Solomon began to worship and bow to all the gods of his wives, it set in order all the curses and judgments pronounced upon Gods’ people in the sometimes prophetical book of Deuteronomy, which is necessary to read when studying the Anti-Christ, Jerusalem, and Babylon.

Nearly the entire book of Lamentations was written about Jerusalem.

Lamentations 1:1.  How lonely sits the city that was full of people! How like a widow is she, Who was great among the nations! The princess among the provinces has become a slave!  2.  She weeps bitterly in the night, her tears are on her cheeks; among all her lovers she has none to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; they have become her enemies.  3.  Judah has gone into captivity, under affliction and hard servitude; she dwells among the nations, she finds no rest; all her persecutors overtake her in dire straits.

Lamentations 1:8.  Jerusalem has sinned grievously, therefore she has become vile. All who honored her despise her because they have seen her nakedness; yes, she sighs and turns away.  9.  Her uncleanness is in her skirts; she did not consider her destiny; therefore her collapse was awesome; she had no comforter. "O Lord, behold my affliction, for the enemy has magnified himself!''

1 Corinthians 6:16 What? Know ye not that he which is joined to a harlot is one body?

The abomination of desolation has not occurred yet in Jerusalem so do not read the commentaries when reading the book of Daniel. Sacrificing a pig is not the worst abomination but the antichrist sitting in the temple claiming to be God.

Matthew 24: 15.  "Therefore when you see the `abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place'' (whoever reads, let him understand), 16.  "then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

2 Thessalonians 2:1.  Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you,  2.  not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.  3.  Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,  4.  who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

Luke 21:20.  "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near.  21.  "Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her.  22.  "For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

Most of Israel will think this is the Messiah but those who know God and scripture will flee to the mountains.

Isaiah 4:2.  In that day the Branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious; and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing for those of Israel who have escaped.  3.  And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and he who remains in Jerusalem will be called holy everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem.  4.  When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning,

Isaiah 37:31.  And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.  32.  For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, and those who escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

Those who survive the time of great tribulation are those who flee from Jerusalem when the antichrist is come into full power.

1 Thessalonians 4:15.  For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.  16.  For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.  17.  Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

Zechariah 14:2.  For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; the city shall be taken, the houses rifled, and the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.  3.  Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle.  4.  And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a very large valley; half of the mountain shall move toward the north and half of it toward the south.  5.  Then you shall flee through My mountain valley, for the mountain valley shall reach to Azal. Yes, you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Thus the Lord my God will come, and all the saints with You.

The thing that confuses most Bible scholars is that there are many prophecies which promise that Jerusalem shall be saved and inhabited by the Lords’ people. New Jerusalem, described in the book of Revelation is the city being referred to in the future.

Hebrews 13: 14.  For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

Galatians 4:26.  But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Hebrews 12:22.  But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23.  To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

Revelation 3:12.  "He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. And I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.

Revelation 21:1.  And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.  2.  Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Revelation 21:10.  And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

One scheme used by Mystery Babylon leaders is to bring back Jews to Israel in order to establish the anti-Christ kingdom here on earth, claiming that it is scripturally the will of God the Father. The true promise of God is to bring back Israel to their homeland after they acknowledge their sin, repent, and worship the Almighty God of Heaven through Jesus, the Savior of the world. This final complete unification will not and cannot happen until the time of great tribulation is completed and Jesus returns. To those who believe that Israel can be united by re-instituting the Mosaic Law without true repentance and the faith in Jesus as Messiah, it is a trap which shall cause you to worship the beast, a false messiah who shall lead you into the Lake of Fire. Many self proclaimed Christian leaders promote this event and are therefore part of this one world movement which is secretly Mystery Babylon.


Jerusalem shall be punished double in time of great tribulation

Jeremiah 16:18 "And first I will repay double for their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols.''

Revelation 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled, fill to her double.

Ezekiel 16: 2.  "Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,

Ezekiel 16:23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, woe, woe unto thee! Saith the Lord God

Revelation 8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth...Two of these woes are designated for apostate Jerusalem and Judah. 

Ezekiel 24: 6.  `Therefore thus says the Lord God: "Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is in it, and whose scum is not gone from it! Bring it out piece by piece, on which no lot has fallen.

Ezekiel 24: 9.  `Therefore thus says the Lord God: "Woe to the bloody city! I too will make the pyre great. (double)

Jeremiah 13:27 I have seen thine adulteries and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hill in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! Wilt thou not be made clean?

Matthew 23:37.  "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
38.  "See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39.  "for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, `Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!' ''

Revelation 18:1.  After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.  2.  And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a habitation of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!

I believe that I have established that Mystery Babylon is apostate Jerusalem and Judah, more commonly known today as Zionism, those who do not worship the Most High God of heaven.  This not only applies geographically but also by bloodline and spirituality, regardless of where the descendants, followers, and allies dwell. This religion of Mystery Babylon has secretly overspread much of the world, and continues to gain steam at an alarmingly rapid state because of its web like tentacles and stealthy operation. All the nations drink of the cup of Mystery Babylon’s false doctrines.

Jeremiah 51:6.  Flee from the midst of Babylon, and every one save his life! Do not be cut off in her iniquity, for this is the time of the Lord's vengeance; He shall recompense her.  7.  Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord's hand, that made all the earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; therefore the nations are deranged.

Jeremiah 13:13.  "Then you shall say to them, `Thus says the Lord: "Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land even the kings who sit on David's throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with drunkenness!

Isaiah 29:9.  Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunk, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.  10.  For the Lord has poured out on you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, namely, the prophets; and He has covered your heads, namely, the seers.  11.  The whole vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is literate, saying, "Read this, please''; and he says, "I cannot, for it is sealed.''  12.  Then the book is delivered to one who is illiterate, saying, "Read this, please''; and he says, "I am not literate.''  13.  Therefore the Lord said: "Inasmuch as these people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,

One must understand that there are two different bloodlines of Jew: evil harlot serpent seed and pure seed of the woman Eve. The pure blood seed of the woman is being and has been hunted and murdered by this wicked bastard race and its allies who are led by the powerful wicked dragon. It all goes back to Genesis with the seed of the serpent and the seed of Adam’s son Seth whose blood line eventually descends to Jesus, the final king of the Jews of the seed of David. Apostate Jerusalem known as Mystery Babylon is Satan’s people. The war between good and evil began in Genesis and ends in Revelation.

Genesis 3:15.  And I will put enmity between you (serpent) and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.''

Revelation 12:1.  Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
 2.  Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.

Revelation 12:3.  And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.  4.  His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.  5.  And she bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and to His throne.

Revelation 12:13.  Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child.

Revelation 12:17.  And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 23:29.  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 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.  You serpents, you offspring 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 you shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall you scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city.

Revelation 17 explains that the whore sits upon many waters which are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.

Revelation 17:1.  Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying 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.''

Revelation 17:15.  And he said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.

She believes herself to be the bride of God, yet she does not know that she is the bride of Satan.

Revelation 18:7.  "In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, `I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.'

The false pretribulation rapture doctrine comes to mind when I read the above verse.

Revelation 17:3.  So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

G941

Βαστάζω  bastazō  bas-tad'-zo
Perhaps remotely derived from the base of G939 (through the idea of removal); to lift, literally or figuratively (endure, declare, sustain, receive, etc.): - bear, carry, take up.
Revelation 17:7.  But the angel said to me, "Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

  Many of the people of Jewish heritage are living in these countries and have a great influence upon all business and trade throughout the world. Apostate Judah and the secret societies whom together rule the fleshly world share the same highly regarded symbol of the beast, the six-pointed star of Remphan also known as the seal of Solomon. These are the evil offspring of the serpent whom Jesus spoke to and condemned 2000 years ago when he called out the Pharisees, scribes, and elders of this false religious system which ruled over Jerusalem. Mystery Babylon is the serpent seed offspring and tares of their father Satan who is known as the devil, serpent, and dragon.

Jeremiah 31:27.  Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.

Daniel 2:43.  "As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.

This serpent seed exists in all races but apostate Judah is most abominable to God because they were the rulers of Jerusalem and Israel.

The serpent seed has infiltrated the seed of Abraham.

John 8:33.  They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, `You will be made free'?''  34.  Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.  35.  "And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever.  36.  "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.  37.  "I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.  38.  "I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.''  39.  They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father.'' Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.  40.  "But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.  41.  "You do the deeds of your father.'' Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father God.''  42.  Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.  43.  "Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.  44.  "You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

John 8:52.  Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, `If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.'  53.  "Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Whom do You make Yourself out to be?''  54.  Jesus answered, "If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God.  55.  "Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, `I do not know Him,' I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word.  56.  "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.''  57.  Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?''  58.  Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.''

Revelation 2:8.  And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; 9.  I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Jeremiah 11:6.  Then the Lord said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them. 7.  For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice. 8.  Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do: but they did them not. 9.  And the Lord said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 10.  They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers. 11.  Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them. 12.  Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble. 13.  For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.

One technique that Satan is using to lead the imprudent astray is to offer true doctrine mixed with false. This is how the many denominations have sprung up as each focuses on a different small portion of true scripture. If you find your church teaching a false doctrine, you move to another which teaches what you are looking for at the time and eventually realize they are teaching another set of lies to poison you and distract away from the truth. Another is of course to preach smooth things which are appealing and comforting which leads to a false sense of security, peace, and prosperity. The orthodox and conservative Christian church is not immune to this disease which supposed great teachers of the modern day encourage and support. Some of the terms used in this blasphemous doctrine are Ecumenical, Emerging, purpose driven, and Unity. To allow oneself to be aligned with those who condone this teaching is to deny the Lord Jesus who is the only name by which one may be saved.

Many feel that the seven mountains refer to Rome but is explained in scripture as powerful evil spirits. The 7 mountains are 7 powerful wicked spirits indwelling 7 human kings and are explained in the book of Revelation and in the Old Testament.

Revelation 17: 9  And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.  10.  And there are seven kings (humans indwelt): five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space.

In the book of Matthew Jesus interprets the word mountain to be a very strong evil spirit.

Matthew 17:18.  And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. 19.  Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20.  And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.21.  Howbeit this kind (spirit) goes not out but by prayer and fasting.

In conclusion it is clear that at its core Mystery Babylon is Jerusalem and its apostate leaders wherever they may dwell and its doctrine is Apostasy from the pure Word. Whoever and whatever church that claims to know the God of the Bible and practices and teaches false doctrine are members of Mystery Babylon as the daughters of the children of Apostasy. The Lord holds apostate Jerusalem and all its children accountable for this great apostasy which began when King Solomon lead them astray and brought nearly every curse in Deuteronomy upon them, while his false doctrines are greatly practiced still in the large majority of the church today.

Hear the call of the Lord now. Come out of Babylon so you may be accounted worthy to stand with the Lord at the end of this age.
