Zechariah 5:7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. 8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. 9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven. 10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? 11 And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
What appears to precipitate the rise of Babylon, is a collapse of the world economy due to socialism (legislated theft)...
Zechariah 5:3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
Somebody got his marching orders from Obama...
Time is short sister. I know many consider America to be Babylon, and while America may fit many of the stereotypical descriptions, I believe your accurate assesment is correct. Both Biblically and geographically.
We know what is coming upon this world. We can try to educate the masses. Whether they accept or reject the Gospel is on them. To those of us who accept the Truth as it is written, this is an encouragement of our Faith and a testimony of our beliefs.
Time is short and we are encouraged to know, soon we shall be face to face with our Creator. I would encourage others to choose this day whom to serve, the Creator, or the deceiver. What is soon to come upon this world is not a world you want to live in.
Seek out the Truth. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. His Word does not change. To the masses I ask, when you face Jesus Christ, will He represent you as Advocate or Judge?
Babylon of the Old Testament and “Mystery Babylon” of the New Testament are two distinctly different things, so confusing them is a big mistake. Mystery Babylon is pretty clearly identified in Revelation, and it isn’t in Iraq.
Babylon Rising? War-torn Iraq is rebuilding and Pope Francis is heading there to see it for himself, encourage Christian community to convert to Islam
And the most evil...
And the Evil one is going there to insure it happens!
There are many Bible teachers who’ve said that Babylon, in Revelation, does not actually mean the city of Babylon, but many old school Bible teachers (J Vernon McGee, etc) say they believe it is the actual city of Babylon John, in Revelation, is writing of.
I just forwarded the article, before I had even read your comment, to some of my friends, to show them that the actual rebuilding of Babylon could be the right interpretation.
*** For students of Bible Prophecy, there are very specific scriptures regarding a rebuilt Babylon in Iraq, ***
Well, the Iraqis have asked the occupying USA to leave, but we won’t. It would seem if you are correct in the physical location, the USA is building the new Babylon. Not surprised.
