babylonthegreatisfallen/who-is-babylon.html Is Babylon a physical woman? Is Babylon a physical city? In the book of Revelation God speaks of Babylon as a city and as a woman. We learn from God that He speaks in parables and is referring to something that is not physical but spiritual. Babylon the Great that is fallen, is fallen, is an evil nation (wicked generation) that has ruled over Zion. She ruled over Zion through false doctrines based on the Word of God (the fleshly, carnal understanding of the written Word, Law). Today on Judgment Day, God is calling Zion out of Babylon. As God took Eve out of Adam (He took the spiritual out of the carnal, the bone representing His Spirit (seed) that has been taken out of dust - Adam), He is taking Zion out of Babylon. God calls us out from worshiping the carnal understanding of His written Word. We learn from God that satan is the king of Babylon. His nation is the wicked generation (evil nation) that is cast into the lake of fire (spiritual Judgement). We also learn that God’s people (Zion) are in Babylon. Revelation 18: 1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 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. 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. 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. The evil nation, the wicked generation, ruled by the fleshly, carnal understanding of the Word of God from the Garden of Eden until Today, Judgment Day. This means that even the true believers have understood part of the Word of God carnally for a time (were deceived for a time by satan, as Eve was). Today on Judgment Day, God, the Spiritual Truth, had set His children free from the power of satan (carnal understanding of the Word). They see Him face to face and hear and understand Spiritual Truth (as He is - Spirit - Spiritual not physical). Revelation 18: 20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. 21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. 22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; 23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. God punishes Babylon - Babylon the Great - satan (the spirits of all man with the carnal understanding of His Word, all that worship the creature more than the Creator) for deceiving His children with the carnal understanding of His Word and for trying to kill them spiritually. He takes out the true believers (voice of the harpers, musicians, pipers, trumpeters, and the sound of millstone) from her (babylon - the evil generation). God removes His Holy Spirit (light of the candle, voice of the bridegroom and of the bride) from Babylon the Great (the spirits of all who worship the literal, physical, carnal understanding of the Word of God, all who worship the creation more than the Creator). God brings all His children to Spiritual Life (He gives them spiritual understanding of His Word). John 1: 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. Isaiah 42: 6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a LIGHT of the Gentiles; Jeremiah 25: 10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle. Isaiah 13: 9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. 10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their LIGHT: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her LIGHT to shine. Psalm 43: 3 O send out thy LIGHT and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. Why did God say that He will take away the Light and the Voice of the bridegroom (Christ - the Spirit)? Was the Light in the world? In John 1:11 God tells us that the Light came to His own and His own received Him not! Is not His own (the world) the earthly representation of the kingdom of God (then was national Israel, now all local congregations, all and any religious men that claim to know their God) that was supposed to know Him (Spiritual Truth) but does not? They do not know Him (Spiritual Truth - the Creator)! Which is the city (people who congregate by one belief) that was supposed to bring light and shine? The city that God put in charge for a time is the earthly representation (Adam, national Israel, Babylon, Babylon the great, all and any religious men that claim to know their God). He gave them power over His Word till the time of judgment (Judgment Day). This city (the earthly representation, Babylon the great, satan, the husbandmen, the shepherds, the vinedressers, all and any religious men that claim to know their God) did not do her job - work (to bring the Spiritual Truth to all men, but brought lies - carnal understanding of the Word of God - and through that deceived all the nations - world, therefore the Light did not shine as God intended). Only Jerusalem from above (Spiritual Jerusalem, the Holy City, those with spiritual understanding of the Word of God) can shine Today, because they have the Spirit of God - Spiritual Truth. Matthew 5: 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Which was the city (people who congregate by one belief) that was supposed to receive and know Christ (Spiritual Truth) when He came on earth? God tells us that Jerusalem killed the prophets. This city is not Jerusalem from above but Babylon the great (Jerusalem now, all who hold onto the carnal understanding of the written Word, all who worship the creature more than the Creator). The true believers (Spiritual Jerusalem) were spiritually, and some physically, killed by Jerusalem now (Babylon the great, the earthly, physical, carnal representation of the kingdom of God, all who hold to the carnal understanding of the Word of God). Matthew 23: 37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Galatians 4: 25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. 26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. Today on Judgment Day those that are redeemed see Him and hear His Spiritual Word clearly (face to face). They are no longer deceived by the fleshly, carnal understanding of the Word of God. Jerusalem which is now (Babylon, Babylon the great, satan, the spirits of all man with the carnal understanding of Gods Word, all that worship the creature more than the Creator) is thrown down (cast out, their lies are made known to the world - their spiritual wickedness - spiritual abomination - their deceit is made public) today on Judgment Day. 1 Corinthians 13: 12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. Today is the day of separation, the day of harvest, the Day of Judgment. It is a spiritual judgment and a time of torment for the unbelievers (Jerusalem now - Babylon the great - those entrusted with the Word of God - the destroying mountain) which are cast into the sea (hell). The destroying mountain which destroyest all the earth (Babylon - Babylon the great - all born of the carnal understanding of the Word of God) is cast into the sea (hell - under the wrath of God - not in the presence of God - never inheriting His Spirit). Can a woman, a man, or a city destroy all the earth? No, only false doctrines, teachings, or beliefs (spiritual wickedness - spirit of error, carnal understanding of the Word of God), satan, can spiritually destroy all the unsaved men in the world. Matthew 21: 19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. 20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! 21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. Babylon - Babylon the great - the destroying mountain - is destroyed and burned with fire (spiritual judgment). God tells us that the people of Babylon the great will labor in vain and be weary. He informs us that they have no spiritual knowledge and are confounded by their false teachings (carnal understanding of the Word of God). The true believers (Jacob, spiritual Israel) have spiritual understanding (Spiritual Truth - Gods battle ax). Today on Judgment Day, they by the Spirit of God (spiritual understanding of the Word) are destroying all the unbelievers (those that follow and worship the carnal understanding of the Word of God, those that worship the creature more than the Creator). God said in Matthew 21 that those that have spiritual faith will cast the destroying mountain (Babylon the great, kingdom of satan, all born of carnal understanding of the Word of God, all who worship the creation more than the Creator) into the sea (spiritual judgment). Matthew 21: 21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. Jeremiah 51: 25 Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain. 26 And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD. 27 Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers. 28 Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion. 29 And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant. 30 The mighty men of Babylon have forborn to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwelling places; her bars are broken. 31 One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end, 32 And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted. 33 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come. 34 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out. 35 The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say. 36 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry. 37 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant. 38 They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions whelps. 39 In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD. 40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats. 41 How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations! 42 The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof. 43 Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby. 44 And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall. 45 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD ... ... 49 As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth. 50 Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind. 51 We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORDs house. 52 Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan. 53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD. 54 A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans: 55 Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered: 56 Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompences shall surely requite. 57 And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts. 58 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary. Babylon the Great that is fallen, is fallen, is the evil nation - wicked generation, the spirits/souls/minds of all men that lived and live upon the earth that worshiped or worship the creation - all that believed or believe the carnal understanding of the written Word, all men with the spirit of error. This evil nation - the wicked generation, the spirit of satan in the spirit of man - ruled over Zion (the Spirit of God in the spirit of man) by false doctrines based on the Word of God. She ruled by the fleshly, carnal understanding of Gods Word. God is calling Zion out Today from the carnal understanding of His written Word (Babylon the Great that is fallen) and lets the true believers know that His time HAS COME TO RULE the earth BY His righteous Spirit - SPIRITUAL TRUTH. The time has come for His Will to be done on earth as It is in heaven, by Spiritual Truth - Spirit - Spiritual understanding of His Word. His WILL that is done in heaven is SPIRITUAL, and regarding spiritual things, It is about spiritual knowledge and understanding - the things of God who is Spirit and glories in spiritual things, things that are forever, and not in the physical body nor what it wants. Matthew 6: 10 THY KINGDOM COME, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Luke 11: 2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. THY KINGDOM COME. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
