BABYLON,
THE HARLOT: HER ORIGIN
A summary of the the historic
temporal or civil powers of the world is as follows:
I. The
first Babylonian Empire was founded by Nimrod.
From the people of this empire, come ALL the empires of the world.
G-d confounded the language of the people and scattered them abroad
to his predetermined boundaries of ethnicity (the nations). (Torah
- Genesis 11)
II. The people of Israel were set
apart by G-d. Bible prophecy deals with the nations as they affect
the Israelites (or the nation of Israel) in one way or
another.
III. The first major empire to
persecute Israel was of course Egypt. This empire was NOT included
in Daniel’s prophecy. (Daniel Chapter 2)
IV. The second major empire to
persecute Israel was Assyria. It was by Assyria that the Israelites
of the northern Kingdom of Israel were taken into captivity. This
empire was NOT included in Daniel’s prophecy.
V. The third major empire which
persecuted the Israelites was the second Babylonian Empire. It was under
this empire that the Israelites in the southern Kingdom of Judah
were taken into captivity. This
empire was the FIRST in Daniel’s series of four kingdoms.
You can read this in the Tanakh, in the Book of Daniel, the
Prophet, Chapter Two. It was
represented by the head of gold.
Note: The reason Daniel started with the second Babylonian
Empire was that this was
during his lifetime and pertained to the interpretation of dreams and
dream-visions that dealt with this empire and subsequent empires up
to the end times.
VI. The fourth major empire
and the SECOND in Daniel’s
series of four kingdoms was Medo-Persia. It was represented by the breast and arms of
silver.
VII. The fifth major empire and
the THIRD in Daniel’s
series of four kingdoms was Greece. It was represented by the belly and thighs of
brass.
VIII. The sixth major empire and
the FOURTH in Daniel’s
series of four kingdoms was the
Roman Empire. It was
represented by the legs of iron and ... NEXT
...
IX. The feet
part of iron and clay in Daniel's vision represent a revived
Islamic Caliphate in the latter days ... (of which we have
entered). It's interesting to note that the etymological use
of "arab" refers to the "mixed people
to the East of Israel." Iron and clay do NOT
mix.
REMEMBER THE ABOVE SUMMARY OF
HISTORIC POWERS AS IT IS A KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THE SEVEN (7)
HEADS OF THE BEAST UPON WHICH THE HARLOT, BABYLON,
RIDES.
Let us compare Daniel's vision in Chapter 7
(and his interpretation Of Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Daniel Chapter
2) with the seven (7) heads upon which the woman - Babylon
- sits in Revelation 17:
The seven (7) heads
are:
1.
Egypt
2. Assyria
3. Babylon (the second Babylonian
Empire) - 1st Empire Head
4. Medo-Persia - 2nd Empire
Head
5. Greece - 3rd Empire
Head
6. Rome - 4th Empire
Head
7. Islam divided: Sunni, Shia, ISIS -
"Mixed iron and clay" in Daniel 2; "Ten horns of Daniel 7); the Ten
Regional Islamic Confederacy.
Most students of Bible prophecy
agree now that in the last days there will be a reconstituted, or revised, Islamic
Caliphate. This is mostly because of the dream-visions and
interpretations in Daniel Chapters Two
and Seven. Many liberal and neo-orthodox theologians attempt to
discount the validity of Daniel as a prophet; however, Yeshua gave validation to Daniel’s
prophetic office when He, as Israel’s Messiah, taught
concerning the last days [Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:14]. Mashiach
Yeshua (Messiah Jesus also referred to the Prophet Daniel in His
teaching, thereby giving validity to Daniel as a
prophet.)
Many conservative or evangelical
scholars surmised in the past that the geo-political area
encompassed previously by the Roman Empire rule would be revived
and be the arena from which the
anti-Christ, or false Messiah, would arise. However, certain
situations that are being played out today forge an entirely
different set of circumstances while still emanating from the
geographic confines of Eastern Europe (Turkey), the Middle East and
North Africa.
May I suggest
to you that the predominant force arising from the area of the
eastern extension of the old Roman Empire and the Middle East is
none other than Islam, a religion spawned in Hell by Satan: a
religion based upon the teachings of a false prophet, Muhammad, and
the false god, Allah.
NOTE: The majority of
soldiers in the Roman Army who destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple
in 70 AD / CE were from Syria, Egypt and Arabia. They were
transcripts. These were "the people of the prince who shall come"
described in Daniel 9:26. Therefore, the "prince who shall come" --
the anti-christ -- will be from the Middle
East.
Right now in Europe there are hundreds of
Islamic schools. The geographic
confines described composed of parts of
Eastern Europe,
the Middle East and part of North Africa
(Libya and North Sudan) will be
the sling from which the false-messiah ... or, the anti-christ ...
will be thrust. He could likely be of Syrian Greek
background.
The main point to realize,
however, is that Islam will likely
be the catalyst which will bring about the one world
government. Let me explain:
1. Muslim terrorism is now
global.
2. Pertaining to people in the USA, you
are already beginning to see the loss of your right to privacy. The
Department of Homeland Security and The Patriot Act - even though
established out of NEED and for the GOOD of the populace - are
still instruments that can and may one day be used for invasion of
privacy of Christians.
3. Islam is the #1 force in the drive
to one world government. Islamic terrorism will be the active agent
to frighten people into wanting a one world governing body for
protection.
People around the world
will want peace and safety and will be willing to give up their
constitutional rights for it. This will be the caveat for
the Jews and Israel when the coming world leader (chosen by the
New World Governance) tricks Israel into signing a
seven (7) year treaty with the conciliation that Israel can build
the Temple. However, it will be with a great price. “For when
they shall say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction will come
upon them, as travail upon a woman with child." (1
Thessalonians 5:3) Daniel 9:27 and Jeremiah also spoke about
this.
People will say, “Give me
peace . . . leave me and my money alone . . . and let me retire in
style."
4. Muslim terrorism is being used in
the media to EQUATE to fundamentalism. Just the other day I heard a
news commentator say that there are fundamentalists in all
religions . . . and used the example of “Christian
fundamentalists."
The Koran instructs Muslims to kill
non-Muslims, and this especially promotes an anti-Jewish,
anti-Christian concept! Christian fundamentalism AND Jewish
fundamentalism, especially Hasidic and Orthodox Jews, will not only
be the targets of Islam, but of an ever increasing cross section of
global society. Born-again (real) Christians will not be persecuted
because they are Christians, but because they are considered
fundamentalists ...
terrorists by society at large; likewise Hasidic and
Orthodox Jews.
Yeshivahs, seminaries, Christian
publishers, church movements are selling out and have embraced
themselves in the tentacles of the one world religion. One major
evangelical seminary recently accepted government money but had to
sign an agreement that they would no longer teach students to
convert Muslims. Churches are conducting surveys asking people what
they should throw out or add in to get people in the community to
come to church. Be careful when the world loves the
church!
Over twenty years ago Francis
Schaeffer said, “Americans, just
like Germans in the days before the Nazis, will be influenced to
give up their constitutional privileges in exchange for (personal)
peace (or, affluence)." What he was saying is that
Americans will give up their freedom that was bought with the blood
of their forefathers because they don’t want their life styles to
be disturbed. They want to be at peace!
Dr. Robert Morey believes that
this may be the LAST generation of
Americans that knows freedom and the first that knows tyranny (via
the courts, legislation, and martial forces). He states,
“We are living in a watershed moment of history like a
Christian ostrich!" And may I say here that Israel needs to wake up and stop giving in to
the demands of the Palestinians, the Arabs, the UN, the EU, and the
USA.
IN THE NEXT EPISODE I WILL REVEAL
TO YOU THE IDENTITY OF BABYLON, THE HARLOT ... HER
SUPPORT SYSTEM ... AND HOW SHE WILL ULTIMATELY BE DESTROYED BY
YAHWEH, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL. IN
THE MEANTIME, ISRAEL NEEDS
TO TAKE A DEFINITIVE STAND TO OPPOSE ANY NATION, GOVERNMENT, OR
ENTITY THAT WOULD TRY TO TAKE AWAY HER LAND WHICH IS RIGHTFULLY
HERS BY: 1. VICTORY IN WAR; AND 2. BY PROMISE OF
G-D.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Do NOT be so concerned with the "666" in
the Brit Chadashah being a numerical equivalent to the name of the
False Messiah (anti-Christ). REASON: In Yochanan's
day (when he received the Revelation from Mashiach Yeshua) he wrote
"what he SAW."
NOTICE ALSO: He could have seen Arabic (the 666)
written from "right to left" instead of Greek. Also, the Greek word
for "number" is "arithmos" and could mean "multitude." Therefore,
if he SAW Arabic (instead of Greek "666") the whole meaning of the
passage in Revelation 13:18 would change to: " ...
the multitude in the name of allah." WHY? Because
the Arabic could be "X" showing two crossed swords. Islamic
warriors wear the armband of "allah" on their forehead and on their
right arm when they go to war "in the name of allah."
QUESTION: Did the Ruach Elohim (the Spirit of God)
show ahead of time the growth and evil world goals of Islam 500
years before it originated through satanic inspiration of
Muhammad?
