Babylon

Who did Jesus credit with the killing of Gods prophets?

Matthew 23:37
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her.....

Matthew 23:34-35
Therefore indeed I send you prophets, wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, 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.

What did the apostle Paul have to say about the Jews and Jerusalem? In all of scripture there is no other city that has rebelled against God more than Babylon/Jerusalem has.

I Thessalonians 2:15
who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets and have persecuted us and they do not please God and are contrary to all men.

What did the apostle John have to say about those who do not believe in Christ?
I John 2:22
Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is Antichrist who denies the Father and the son.

In the book of Revelation the apostle John identifies for us that Babylon is the prophetic fulfillment of a city that killed both Jesus and the prophets.
Revelation 18:24
And in her was found the blood of the prophets and saints and of all who were slain on the Earth.

There is only one city that has ever existed that could fit this prophetic scenario. There is also only one city that has ever existed that God will pour out a double portion of His wrath upon.
Revelation 18:6
Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her.

Isaiah 40:2
Speak comfort to Jerusalem and cry out to her, that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned; for she has received from the Lords hand Double for all her sins.

The harlot of Babylon has a harlots forehead, the mind of a harlot, full of abominations.
Revelation 17:5
And on her forehead a name was written; Mystery Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the Earth.

Jeremiah 3:3
You have had a harlots forehead..... (Referring to Jerusalem)

God will punish all nations but the one nation that He viewed special did continually sin against Him and that city had His temple.
In this city, in the future, the two witnesses of God will be killed and it is the same city where Jesus was killed.

Revelation 11:8
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.

Jeremiah 23:14 (Last part)
All of them are like Sodom to me.............

Jeremiah 22:8
And many nations will pass by this city and everyone will say, why has the Lord done so to this great city?

Revelation 18:18
And they cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning saying, what is like this great city?



The seven heads of the beast are seven mountains on which the woman (Babylon) sits. One of these heads suffered a deadly wound. This deadly wound was the destruction of the temple on Mount Moriah in 70AD but Paul tells us in 2 Thessalonians 2:4 that this temple must be built again so the Antichrist can sit in it thus this deadly wound will be healed. The beast that was, is not but yet is refers to a nation. In prophecy a beast symbolizes a nation and its people and ruler. A nation once existed, then existed no more but in the future will rise again. There is only one nation that ever existed that was long ago a nation then ceased to exist as a nation only to in the future return as a nation again. The year 1948 was the fulfillment of this. In Revelation 13:1 the beast rises out of the sea and the sea is symbolic for the sea of humanity, all people from all nations. Revelation 17:15 This is the people that will populate the beast nation that rises again; people from the sea of humanity, who come to the beast nation to be its citizens. They will come from all over the world from many nations. The carnal world will be amazed by these events and because they cannot understand prophecy will submit to this beast nation and the harlot. Many false Christian churches are Judaizing; they think the Jews are today Gods chosen people when I have plainly shown to the reader that they are Antichrist and enemies of the gospel , cut off from God. Churches are practicing parts of the law and thinking the 144,000 are male virgin Jews.


This deception is in its early stages of development and the world bankers who control the worlds money supply will finance the rise of the Antichrist. There will be in the early stage a nuclear event in the middle east that may come before or after the global economic collapse the bankers will bring about. At first the Antichrist will appear as a hero that saves the world from economic collapse and Islamic terrorism. The carnal people will think Antichrist, who they see as Islam, will be destroyed and the economic restoration of the real Antichrist as the millennium. Satan mimics Gods plan but at an earlier time and with an evil twist of scriptures sets himself up as God. The Jews will not accept Antichrist when he says that he is God and thus bring upon themselves and the world the great tribulation. The cup of fury is even now in the hand of the Lord God. Jeremiah 25:15-18 , Jeremiah 25:26-29 , Revelation 14:9-10 This is how I see things at this time. Those who look for the Antichrist to arise from anywhere other than the Jews will not see him or that look to any other nation deserving of Gods wrath than modern Israel. Modern Israel is an act of Satan and not God to set the stage for his end time deception; why would Satan try to deceive with some gentile nation? If the temple is going to be rebuilt in Jerusalem and the law of Moses applied, why would a gentile do this? The image in Daniel of the man with the head of gold down to the feet of clay and iron; the two legs of the ancient Roman empire in the east and west. These two feet represent the territory of the Antichrist which contains the nations from Iran to Italy. The little horn with eyes and a mouth speaking blasphemy is modern day Israel, having a look more stout than his fellow nations because of possessing nuclear weapons. The future is down the road for us all and what things look like now may be very different then. Things are going to change drastically and the new world superpower Israel/Judah will shape that world but it will not stand long.

I do not hate the Jewish people, I am not antisemitic but prophecy is prophecy. Remember that whatever looks good to the vast majority of people is always wrong. Satan has the world deceived as Revelation 12:9 says and they will accept the antichrist when he appears, this is especially true when he has a false Elijah calling fire down from heaven.

[EasyPrompt]

2 Thessalonians 2:4 is about false Christians.



The context makes it clear Paul was referring to false Christians, and not the apostate nation of physical Israel.



"However, brothers, concerning the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be alarmed either by an inspired statement or by a spoken message or by a letter appearing to be from us, to the effect that the day of Jehovah is here. Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction."



The apostasy Paul was speaking about was a future apostasy, so it was not talking about the literal Jews. The nation of physical Israel had already apostatized a long time prior to when Paul wrote his words. Paul was talking about the foretold apostasy of false Christians.



"He stands in opposition and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, publicly showing himself to be a god. Do you not remember that when I was still with you, I used to tell you these things? And now you know what is acting as a restraint, so that he will be revealed in his own due time. True, the mystery of this lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who is right now acting as a restraint is out of the way."



The "restraint" Paul referred to is the angels spoken of in John's vision in Revelation. The vision of the four angels holding back the winds of destruction shows that the angels have been holding back, or restraining, the nations from attacking religious institutions.



"Then, indeed, the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with by the spirit of his mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his presence."



Now that Jesus has been made king in heaven and the Devil has been cast down, it is the appointed time for Christ to make an accounting with all those on earth who claim to represent God. By Christ's command, the angels will let go of the "restraint." The figurative plagues on religious institutions will now begin.



"But the lawless one’s presence is by the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and wonders and every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth in order that they might be saved. That is why God lets a deceptive influence mislead them so that they may come to believe the lie, in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness."



Jesus will make it clear who were God's representatives and who were lawless ones.



The leaders of Watchtower, the leaders of the Catholic church, the leaders of LDS, etc, will be shown to be "lawless." They did not obey Christ.



Revelation and Daniel make clear that the last beast is the UN. The US/UK breathe life into the UN. They are the primary backers. The visions of Daniel 7 and 8 show how the UN will treat religious institutions harshly by dissolving them. The 3 1/2 years of the great tribulation are spoken of in both Daniel and in Revelation. The Devil has "a short period of time." Jesus called this "the time of the nations."



The fact that the image has two feet is inconsequential.



Lee B, you are a false prophet inspired by demons. Stop misleading the people with your God-dishonoring lies. Self-exaltation and pride are snares of the Devil.

Yes, LeeB, your association with satanism is clear to me.

I have studied, read views, and looked at this realm of prophecy several times. I also learned that there are more than a few views about what we should expect. In short, all these views look valid to those who hold them. I never once had the gall to accuse any view as coming from a Satanist.

There are valid points for those who see the people of Israel to be brought into the fold of the Church that Yeshua established. There are valid points for those who see fallen Israel to be judged by Yahweh and to perish.

While we are provided a place to discuss our views and share our thoughts and - perish the thought! - learn from others that cause us to reexamine our previous understandings; we are not provided a place to attack and insult each other.

Yeshua was born to Mary, not converted from an angel.

I suppose we should examine ourselves - and not each other.

 

[EasyPrompt]

Zechariah 4 gives the vision of two witnesses. These two witnesses in Zechariah's day were specific individuals with an assignment from God.



Revelation 11 in vision also refers to two specific individuals, witnesses of Jehovah, who would proclaim God's judgment messages in our time.



These two witnesses proclaim messages that are given to them from the Lord of the whole earth, Christ Jesus in kingdom glory - the very same Jesus who told the Pharisees they were offspring of their father the Devil; the very same Jesus who called those Pharisees serpents and false lights.



This same Jesus said: "Whoever listens to you listens to me. And whoever disregards you disregards me also. Moreover, whoever disregards me disregards also Him who sent me."



If one of the witnesses who is standing next to Jesus tells you that Jesus is Michael because Jesus told that person to tell you, and you say "water down the message - don't tell us the truth!" then what do you think he is going to do?



Jesus is judging. He is watching. He is weighing out how people respond to the message.



You are right, @Outcast , you should reexamine yourself. If you feel "attacked" by truth, then perhaps you have something out of joint and holy spirit is bearing witness to you that you need to work on it. We are all sinners, and those humble ones who truly have faith in Christ will not feel insulted by scriptural correction.



Satan is the father of the lie. He is the father of untruth. Anyone who openly embraces untruth is a follower of Satan rather than a follower of Christ.



"Let anyone calling on the name of Jehovah renounce unrighteousness."



Jesus has come to tear down Babylon. Some here have gotten out of Watchtower or other religious institutions but are still trying to find refuge in Babylonish ways and teachings. Babylon is a harlot. "Get out of her, my people!"

Yahweh Will graft Israel back into the olive tree. The first shall be last and the last shall be first. In Daniel 11:37 is a hint of the ethnicity of the antichrist. The God of his fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I do not demand that everyone accepts what I write else they are aligned with Satan. Jesus was accused of being in league with Satan so I’m in good company.

 

[Outcast]

Try as I might, I can find no scripture that says that Yeshua is Michael, nor can I find any scripture that says Yeshua is Yahweh. Yet, some seem to think that not accepting either one of those false doctrines assign me a place in the Lake of Fire. If I am left with accusing Yahweh of been a god of deceit and sliding an angel into Mary's womb, I guess I am doomed, because I will not do that.

 

[LeeB]

Condemnation is strictly forbidden by Jesus. EasyPrompt is skating on thin ice. According to the last comment made EasyPrompt is leaving this forum. This is I think for the best as there is no support for EasyPrompts ideas here. You may be right about EasyPrompt being sort of a JW spy.

On December 6, 2017 President Donald Trump formally recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Prior to this the scholars of prophecy did not see that Israel could be Babylon and Jerusalem the harlot capital city. I knew this had to happen but admit I did not know exactly how. The two legs on Nebuchadnezzar’s image are extremely significant and they do symbolize the Eastern and Western Roman Empire. This image shows the succeeding empires after the head of gold that symbolized Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon. EasyPrompts declaration of their insignificance and replacing them with the UN is based on childish speculation. EasyPrompt speaks great swelling words of emptiness based on modern carnal ideas. I totally agree with Outcast that accusing someone of being an agent of Satan is to go far beyond what Christ taught. We all have our views about prophecy and as I have shown time can change those views. What you see today can change tomorrow.
