Revelation Chapter 18 Discussion Page 7

2 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.

Note: what caused her to fall? .... by-way of the heart of men, women, children... devils, fouls spirit, plus becoming a holding-place for uncleanness & hatefulness, she /they fell.

3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

Note: all nations, the kings, the merchants, were partners in this fornication /sin, especially when we consider the lust of the flesh, eye, pride of life, seduced them and us. So this part of the wrath mention here shall come forth because Jehovah / GOD has declared it. Thank GOD for SALVATION through verses such as John 3;16-21 plus giving all time to prepare.

The roman catholic church

They need. To be dealalt with

Babylon in Revelation includes many people in Christian Churches. Many will come out when the hour is right. However most will stay in there and receive the 7 plagues. If you really believe the Bible then it is easy to figure this out. Just look up the verse where Jesus said many shall come to me but Jesus said depart from me . I never knew you. These people though they were doing well but they love to create a God to suit them. It does not work that way.

Artists often paint what is evil to God like Woman not clothed when He tells us to dress Modestly it no doubt encourages wrong behaviour. Paintings or images of Jesus have often been wrong too He would not have done what Contradicted His Father who said long hair on a Man is a Shame. Jesus would have had black hair, Mary was a Jew God warns about Worshiping graven images People and Animals.

How sad that those who have not asked for God's Wisdom are still in darkness, it's needed to understand His Truth Prov4:7 Jesus our only Spiritual Teacher, not a Man or Woman leads us into all Truth. God is Love and can do no evil nor does He deliberatly hurt or deceive us Lam3:33 but we do reap the evil we sow in words and actions. God Can and Does bring good from evil but He does not promote it.

Verse 8. Thank Jehovah-GOD for working through those that spent there life digging in the dirt. This same dirt, in 2019, proves GOD has 'rained down fire' on her in the past. GOD gave these wise people wisdom to read the dirt for HIS Glory, also others GOD allowed to bring high tech to us to speedily get the warning shouted to all so we can timely take the correct action. Verse 2,3, is Truth.

Verse 8 is a Blessing from Jehovah GOD. It is amazing GOD allowed men sciences to locate the evidence that proves where the fire is both located and waiting for GOD to release it 'again'. GOD has spoken through men sciences but people are sooo busy enjoying dainty-stuff many will miss-out on the Blessing by not coming-out of her thereby avoiding verse 8. John 3:16 is on the move again.

Another thing, how many PAGAN idols and traditions have been adopted by the RCC. How many images of Jesus have you seen with a SUN behind his head? That is BAAL, SUN worship. RCC also put up a statue of MOLOCH in the Vatican and Catholic hospitals commit murder abortion . "Who is the whore of babylon in revelation?" might be a better search to find the article since I can't post links.

"The Roman Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon. " Look up that phrase and you should see plenty of articles on it written by true Jesus-preaching ministries. Their MARK, as the RCC has openly stated, is the SUNday sabbath but they had no right to change sabbath from the SEVENTH day to the FIRST day. I wanted to leave this comment on a specific verse, but the comments seemed to be disabled

I wonder if mystical Babylon is meant to be all people who are not servants of God, but followers of Satan pursuing worldly pleasures. Let us take warning from the things which brought others to destruction and set our affections on heaven above and not the changeable nature of earthly things.

I would say there might be more or.as many languages going through hollywood

Babylon is jerusalem, what is wrong with you folks, jesus said babylon killed the prophets, now who killed the prophets!?

How can Babylon be the catholic church or the Vatican when Jesus said that Babylon killed the prophets! America nor Russia killed the prophets, way too many youtube videos and not enough Prayer and Reading the Holy word!

How can babylon be the catholic church or the vatican when jesus said that babylon killed the prophets, read the bible man

We must not try to interpret scripture about Babylon to mean any city or nation that did not exist in Bible times. As for the sins of the nations, you have to look at the long history of the nations and their deeds. Hence look at Rome, it has a long history, especially the Vatican. God will judge all nations and those that have been around the longest have a long list of sins to be judged.

God loves everyone, but America and Israel are God's two chosen blessed nations. The constitution was inspired by God.

babylon of old or is this referring to the system of world Banking. since we see this as John's vision for the future events I would place this in our life time. I believe it refers to NEW YORK as babylon, many language's and all the worlds trade goes thru there and it says a city not country. it takes on 1 hour to destroy that's the key. old babylon would take armys days to destroy a city .

Babylon was a real city though and the scripture refers to it as a city, not a country. Also Babylon already fell.

As I was reading your post, I was thinking just how right you were. Because that's just how America thinks. you are so right!

Rome is the 1st beast of Revelation 13 , 14, and is the mother of harlots of Rev 17.
Rome is the queen of Babylon... Babylon = religious confusion.

There is no Doubt! America is Babylon. There are so many parts of revelation 18 that says America is Babylon the Great. Here is ONE. And Revelation 18 verse 7 says How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow, give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Does America not Boast How good she is.

America alone is NOT Mystery Babylon the great.
Revelation 17 explains.
Vs. 1 the great whore sitteeth on many waters.
Then ..
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

In revelations Babylon represents America. It is the nation which everyone drinks from also known as the eagle- America's symbol. it is the queen of sin. It also speaks of the bear, which is the symbol for Russia. We see so many things going on between Russia and America in the news right now. Russia is the next super power. this book is real-its not just the past, its past, present, and future.

Babylon is the Roman Catholic Church / Vatican

If your only tool is a hammer ,everything looks like a nail (or, Roman Catholic) it amazes me how so many preachers completely overlook the parts that talk repeatedly about the wealthiest nation that will be destroyed that the kings of the earth will be totally destrought because they can't do business anymore, that is NOT Rome!

1-24 above we see Jehovah / GOD (again) cut-off his blessing to a nation; it is nothing new under the sun because GOD took the same action against the nation /people HE led into the land promised to Abraham; both nations receive the wrath of GOD because they preferred to love and practice sin more the GOD word. the ..., ..., will not be able to bail her out. Through the BLOOD my bags are packed.

Babylon is of old, the head of gold that maintains power throughout the world just as it did during Nebchadnezzar's reign (1st prophecy pertaining to Babylon). Some 27 nations were identified for destruction by the 70yr prophecy . This prophecy encompasses a time scale, which is completed in Revelation with the LORD reigning judgment on Babylon for her corruption. ( Jeremiah 25)

Shane, Lm I concur because from Dr. Martin L. King to Dr. Billy Graham and many other modern day saints and prophets have warned us to return to our God the God of Israel and the forefathers of the documents of our nation to help the poor, farther less, and widows but we have not heeded the warnings. Ps. 9:17 says, The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget. Amen!
