America Is Babylon

We are near the END of “Time,” the end of the six thousand years
God has allowed for “Time” to exist;
The “Time” necessary for Him to obtain a Bride for His Son Christ Jesus.
During that “Time” there have been may Babylons
Many nations who were the greatest nation on earth during their age.
Now at the END of “Time” America is that Babylon;
The Babylon of the END of “Time.”

The Babylon of Revelation is the personification of wickedness
Possessed by the spirit of Satan.
As Christ Jesus has a Bride so Satan has a bride and his bride is Babylon.
Babylon is the spirit of Satan manifest in the world;
In every age, she is the most influential nation on earth;
With the most influential city on earth.
Every other city in the world seeks to emulate her.
Because of her wickedness Babylon always goes to ruin.

Today, America is the most influential nation on earth.
America is dying because of her sinfulness and wickedness.
It is in slow motion because God is offering the opportunity
For all who will, to turn to His Christ, Jesus, and be saved.
God has pulled away and given America over to the deceitfulness of her heart.
America is being ground to powder by its sin;
She is being ground to powder by God sent natural and unnatural disasters.
She has hardened her heart against God, His Christ, Jesus and His Word.
She could come to her senses as did the Prodigal Son
And turn to the Father and be saved,
But there is so little moral fiber left in her.
She has prostituted herself to her enumerable gods: 
Money, pleasure, pride, etc.
She has become a puppet of the devil who plays with her on his strings.
She is his harlot bride, who has intoxicated the world with her adulteries.

Revelation 18
After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven.
He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor.
With a mighty voice he shouted:

'Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!
[Fallen is the greatest city of the greatest nation on earth.]
She has become a home for demons
And a haunt for every evil spirit,
A haunt for every unclean and detestable bird.

For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries.
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her
And the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.'

Then I heard another voice from heaven say:

'Come our of her, my people,
So that you will not share in her sins,
So that you will not receive any of her plagues;
For her sins are piled up to heaven,
And God has remembered her crimes.

Give back to her as she has given;
Pay back to her double for what she has done.
Mix her a double portion from her own cup.
Give her as much torture and grief
As the glory luxury she gave herself.'

In her heart she boasts,
'I sit as queen; I am not a widow,'
Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her:
Death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,
For mighty is the Lord God who judges her.

When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her
And shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning
They will weep and mourn over her.
Terrified at her torment they will stand far off and cry:

'Woe! Woe, O great city,
O Babylon, city of power!
In one hour your doom has come!'

The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her
Because no one buys their cargoes any more--
Cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls;
Fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood,
And articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble;
Cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense,
Of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep;
Horses and carriages; and bodies and souls of men.

They will say,
'The fruit you longed for is gone from you.
All your riches and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.'

The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her
Will stand far off, terrified at her torment.
They will weep and mourn and cry out:

'Woe! Woe, O great city,
Dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet,
And glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls!
In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!'

Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship,the sailors,
And all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off.
When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim,

'Was there ever a city like this great city?'

They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out:

'Woe! Woe, O great city,
Where all who had ships on the sea
Became rich through her wealth!
In one hour she has been brought to ruin!'

Rejoice over her, O heaven!
Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets!
God has judged her for the way she treated you.

Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large mill stone
And threw it into the sea, and said:
'With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down,
Never to be found again.
The music of harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters,
Will never be heard in you again.

No workman of any trade will ever be found in you again.

The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again.

The light of a lamp will never shine in you again.

The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again.

Your merchants were the world's great men.
By your magic spell all the nations were led astray.
In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints,
And all who have been kill on the earth.'

A second angel announces the fall of Babylon.

A second angel followed and said, 'Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the great,
Which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.'
(Revelation 14:8)

The second angel announces the fall of Babylon the Great.
The city that personifies all human rebellion against God.
In her, every evil practice takes place; everything that God hates;
Everything that sentences man to hell, and is glorified by man.
Good is called evil and what is evil is called good.
Satan had gloated over his accomplishment, but not for long.

The kings of the earth were figuratively in bed with the Prostitute,
Committing adultery toward God with her.

The merchants of the earth had become wealthy
From her insatiable demand for ever increasing luxury.

Another voice from heaven issues a warning:
Telling the people of God to come out from the Prostitute,
The greatest city on earth, in the greatest nation on earth.
So that they can avoid the judgment of God that is about to fall upon her;
For the extent and grossness of her sins has risen to heaven.

In one day Babylon is destroyed, she is consumed by fire,
By the holy and mighty hand of God,
Through the instrument of the ten kings and the Beast.
God uses the Beast and the ten kings to accomplish His purposes.

The kings of the earth mourn over the destruction of the Prostitute.
These are not the ten kings who destroy her,
But the remaining rulers of the earth.

They also committed adultery with her, and are terrified at her fate.
She is utterly and completely destroyed.

The merchants of the earth mourn over her
Because she was the primary source of their wealth.
The greatness of the Prostitute was what every city in the world aspired to.
Never in the history of the world 
Had such wealth been accumulated in one place.
Now, in one hour, it has all been brought to ruin.
The symbol of the greatness of mankind is brought to nothing in one hour.

The sea captains and the sailors mourn,
Those who had become rich through her,
And who had transported her wealth exclaim:

'Was there ever a city like this city?'
No, the truth is, that in the realm of men, there never was a city like this city.
In the natural, this city represented the ultimate accomplishment of mankind;
But what men call good, God calls evil; what men value is detestable to God..
This city is like the Tower of Babel; 
Representing mankind exalting themselves,
Trying to become like God, just as Satan does.
Mankind, the puppets of Satan, pretending to be what they can never be
Just as the one who rules over them does.

Rejoice over her destruction!
The angel admonishes all of Heaven to rejoice over her downfall.
He admonishes the saints, apostles and prophets to rejoice over her downfall.
Because God has judged her for the way she treated them.
A mighty angel picks up a large millstone and throws it into the sea,
Symbolizing the violence involved with the fall of Babylon.
With such violence she will be destroyed never to be found again.

Her merchants were the worlds great men.
By her magic spell, she blinded men, by the power of Satan,
And led all the nations of the earth astray.
Babylon is responsible for the blood of all the prophets and all the saints,
And all who have been killed on the earth.
This Prostitute is the personification of wickedness,
The personification of all that exalts itself against 
The Way, the Truth and the LIFE;
All that exalts itself against God, His Christ Jesus and His Word.

Babylon The Great, the last of the great cities
That personified the work of Satan in this lost and fallen world he rules.
She was preceded by all of the empires of old that lay in the dust,
Beginning with the Tower of Babel from which she derives her name.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
