ArchivedBabylon of Revelation?I agree with Aineo that New York is not the city of Babylon. The only city that fits to fulfill the prophecy as to the end times is Jerusalem. I believe Rome will play a supporting role in end time events but the focus in the Bible is on Israel and Jerusalem. Jerusalem fits the description of the "city of seven mountains" (Rev 17:9). These mountains are called: Mount Gared, Mount Goath, Mount Acra, Mount Bezetha, Mount Moriah, Mount Ophel and Mount Zion. Scholars have replaced four of these mountains (Gared, Goath, Acra, Bezetha) with: Mount of Olives, Mountain of Offense, Mount of Evil Counsel, and Mount of Calvary. But in any case there are seven mountains that makes Jerusalem fit the prophecy. We also know from Scripture the antichrist will move his world headquarters to Jerusalem. In regards to "Mystery Babylon" as a world religion and the "Great Whore" that sits on the city of seven mountains; if the "city" is Jerusalem then the religion must be a revival of Pharicee Judaism. I have been studying this topic from this perspective and I have been shocked and horrified by what I discovered. It has been traditionally said the Great Whore is the Roman Catholic Church. And there is no doubt the RCC is a "whore". And when comparing the RCC and Talmudist Judaism the similarities are profound: both have 1. "a priesthood"; 2. "Pope"/"High-Priest"; 3. "interpretation of Scripture is only to be done by "priests"; 4. salvation by religious rituals, "Sacraments"/"Animal Sacrifices"; Legalism/Law Keeping; and etc. Indeed the resemblance between the mother and the daughter are so close it can be difficult to tell them apart. According to the Talmud there is included the "Noahide Law". The Noahide Law is considered equal to the O.T. in authority. According to Noahide Law the children of Israel, the Jews, are required to fulfill the 613 commandments of the Torah and the Gentiles - the children of Noah are required to keep the seven Noahide Laws. To read more on the Noahide Laws simply do a search on the web and you will find scores of websites on the subject. Under the Talmud's Noahide Law the worship of Jesus is a death penalty offense as idolatry. The Talmud also states the penalty for disobedience to the Noahide Laws is a death penalty offense. "One addtional element of greater severity is that violation of any one of the seven laws subjects the Noahide to capital punishment by decapitation." (Sanhedrin 57a) The goal of the Noahide Movement is to make the Noahide Laws the foundation for the New World Order: "With the end of free will, the opportunity to earn reward and enhance one's portion in the World to Come will also cease--forever." (Talmud-Sukkah 52a) The goal is to replace the New Testament with the Noahide Laws. The world could witness the deception of a Talmudic priest or even the High-Priest himself call fire down from heaven on an alter of animal sacrifice like Elijah did and accept it as validation that God's presence has returned to Israel in a rebuilt temple, thus ushering in a New Age? [I remember a Time Magazine front page article when the red heifer was born in Israel and the stir that caused, do you? - think of the stir of fire coming down from heaven.] And it's interesting to note the RCC has already decreed that the Jews have the right to practice their religion as they see fit with full Catholic support. Moreover, such a lying sign and wonder could persuade the Muslims to accept Israel as a valid people of God since the Muslims accept the O.T. It is also interesting that according to Islam idolatry is a death penalty offense thus worshipping Jesus as God is idolatry, so the Muslims may even join with the Talmudists in the persecution of Christians. And since most Christians already deny the validity of the name Jesus and deny His name in water baptism by using the trinitarian baptismal formula of Math 28:19 in direct violation of the accounts in Acts; it would not be too surprising that a transition to Noahide Law would be so difficult under the false names of Yahweh or Jehovah. Here are some more quotes from the Talmud: "He [Jesus] was a fool, and we do not pay attention to what fools do"(Sandhedrin 67a) "He [Jesus] is now in hell" (Gitten 56b-57a) "When Messiah comes he will destroy the Christians" (Sandhedrin 99a) It must be considered that the Old Covenant was completely replaced by the New Covenant. There is no dual covenant, one for Jews (Old) and one for Gentiles (New). God divorced Israel and has chosen a new Bride, the Church. God is not a polygamist as the dual covenant theology and trinity doctrine suggests - a wife for the Father and a bride for the Son. There is ONE person in the Godhead and that God was manifest in the flesh as Jesus Christ. |
