Mystery Babylon Revealed in Just Two Verses

[YokeFellow]

Who is Mystery Babylon in the Christian Bible? Just two verses are all we need to solve the Riddle...

Revelation 18:24
"And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."

First, Mystery Babylon is well known for drinking Blood. Thus, 'in her' is where we can find said Blood.

Second, the word 'All' means ALL. The literal interpretation is always the most revealing. Therefore, if we were to take this literally, then we would conclude that Mystery Babylon was drinking the Blood of those slain since the beginning of Man.

In other words, Mystery Babylon drank the Blood of the very first person who was ever slain, long before any Nations even existed, much less the Catholic Church or other entities Christians like to point their fingers at.

This brings us to our second verse...

Genesis 4:11
"And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand"

And there we have it. Abel was the first person to be slain. Who drank Abel's Blood?

Earth.

Yes, it is Mother Earth that drinks the Blood of all who were slain.

In conclusion, Mother Earth is Mystery Babylon.

Any questions?

Very good! It explains the final battle of defiance of Satan’s followers being Gaia worship, a.k.a, the acceleration of using “Climate Change” to defy God’s law.
We know Eden wasn’t here, that this is the place of having been cast out because Adam “walked with” God in Eden.
It’s also interesting how our fragility put us in a position to be served by what humans would consider a “superior” being, Angels. This was one of the fundamental points of defiance in Lucifer’s rebellion: He would not serve man, as God had tasked him to do.

God’s classification differs from our own defiant perspective but we are given hints of what he values, when he reminds us that our humility and obedience is what will allow us closer to him not works/accomplishments of moral display.

Yeah, I don't agree with this. If earth was Babylon, it wouldn't really need to be a mystery. God would've just told us, just like he bluntly told us that earth will be consumed by fire soon.

When it comes to the identity of Babylon, there's usually two sides. One side thinks it's America, the other side thinks it's the Catholic Church. I personally believe in the former.

Regarding the first verse you provided, when it says "all" it's talking about all those who traveled to America. You see, America is an extremely popular country and has the biggest influence upon other countries. Hollywood is also in America so there's that. Famous people from all around the world have to go to Hollywood, which again, is in America.

In addition, America is a HUGE country. So it would make sense for there to be billions, if not- more bodies found after it has been destroyed. It's a PART of earth after all (so yes, there are bodies here since the dawn of time, but that doesn't mean Babylon is earth herself)

You think one state is big- check out how huge America is on the map. You know, if a country were to be destroyed via nuclear war, well, because of its size, EVERYBODY on earth would hear the explosions. It doesn't matter where you're at. You're going to hear it, and you're going to see the smoke rise from wherever you are. So that explains why the verse says "all"

The next verse you provided has nothing to do with Babylon. It's talking about God cursing Cain after he killed Abel. Yes, if someone died a certain way, their blood would touch the earth. But again, there is no relevance in this event that correlates with Babylon. This is a completely different situation.

And now for the last most important pieces of evidence to debunk your theory- if you read about Babylon in Revelations, you would see God talks about destroying it and people weeping for it. If Babylon was earth, there would be nobody to cry, or to say, "Babylon the great has fallen, that great city!" (<--- Earth isn't a city/country) Because everybody would be dead. It says people looked from afar (which directly matches with my previous response when I said if a country was destroyed, everybody would see it no matter the location) and wept over it.

Even MORE evidence, Revelations goes into detail basically saying "There will be no more musicians, traders, craftsman, and etc found anymore in thee" because again, like I also said previously, America is a hotspot for all of these things. It then says, "by your sorceries, you were made rich and all nations were deceived" <--- Hollywood is mostly what that verse is talking about.

If earth was Babylon and God destroyed it, all the next events in Revelations would not happen.

And these are the verses that comes before the first verse you provided, so I'm not sure how you missed that. That's why you cannot quickly skim over verses without understanding the CONTEXT first.

The primer is always within The Word; the reference isn’t outside biblical text.

Though I agree with you on our world having to be interpreted against the text to discern the times.

Our time in this Earthly realm is a mystery. The purpose of life here is not fully revealed until judgement after death. We struggle to understand why we must endure what we perceive in flesh as a lifetime.

The end of Mystery Babylon doesn’t mean the end of humanity per Revelations, it is the end of a period of judgement before a time of peace, later battle and end judgement.

The Earth ending as a Mystery figure and our Luciferian developments on it doesn’t necessarily mean Earth ceases to exist, it just may cease to exist in a role of violent Mystery and as the “Mother of harlots” we consume fleshly wants from.

What’s also interesting is that Mystery Babylon can either be perceived as consummating a union with Earth or Earth itself, consummating with something else to produce “harlots” and “abominations of The Earth”; either meaning as offspring of herself, Earth or a figure in union with Earth. But we know it’s “of”, so it’s abominations produced from Earth.

 

[ARose]

It’s also interesting that various pagan and Luciferian rituals involve priestesses representing forces of nature consummating sexual union with a beast, a Luciferian figure/Satanic force.

And Earth is covered in glittering gems and hosts sunsets and sunrises of scarlet and purple, both important periods of the day for Sun worship. The Sun = Male phallic energy to femine “Moon” cycles, Apollo, Ra, Lightbearer.

Earth “riding” The Sun = Abundance outside of Eden, controlled by a fallen being.

Hi @ARose and @Oceanic

Thank you for visiting and commenting. Great posts.

I wish to respond to them. Bear with me.

 

[ARose]

Seven hills = Planets? With Pluto being classified and declassified and classified again, for a purpose. He was a “beast” who once was and is going to his destruction (will eventually fall out orbit.)

Earth sits atop “hills”, in orbit, at the perfect point for life; she has her “Kingdom” at present. Allegedly other planets had their time to be fit for life at a point in existence and some will move into a more “sweet zone” position and receive their “kingdom” before the end of time. But Earth will end in fire at last judgement.

The “ten horns” possibly equals = Descendant lines of Lucifer’s musical rebels who fell and procreated with women.

The nephilim were swept away and all abominations of man but there are hints in Job that the “Unicorn” (single/one horn) hid and God knew it had and royal lines descended from that single “horn.”

The ten horns hate Earth and humanity, in coordination with “The Beast” and God actually gives them a job to do, with that hate (remember, there is a time for everything in The Bible, even hate.)

They are handed “royal authority” to torment The Prostitute of all prostitutes. Just as the “elite” families rip apart the Earth to plunder her wares.

The Unicorn is prominent on many Royal arms:

(House of Windsor)

The “demigods” of Greek and Roman mythology are not fictional to royal families; they believe they are the genetic offspring of fallen angels. That’s possibly why they’re obsessed with very exclusive lines of breeding: To not “dillute” their angel “powers.”

It explains the final battle of defiance of Satan’s followers being Gaia worship...

I wish to highlight the above. This is spot on.

Every time the word 'Mystery' shows up in the Bible, it is revealed. However, to those that do not study the Word of God, it remains a Mystery to them.

When it comes to the identity of Babylon, there's usually two sides. One side thinks it's America, the other side thinks it's the Catholic Church. I personally believe in the former.

There is another worth mentioning. That is Earthly Jerusalem. Jesus goes out of his way to make a connection with Her and the Blood Earth drinks.

The next verse you provided has nothing to do with Babylon. It's talking about God cursing Cain after he killed Abel. Yes, if someone died a certain way, their blood would touch the earth. But again, there is no relevance in this event that correlates with Babylon. This is a completely different situation.

The verse has everything to do with Mystery Babylon. The verse is clear. Earth received Abel's Blood. To deny that is to deny Scripture.

Moreover, One must read the Fine Print. There is more to the story. The Blood that Mystery Babylon drank has a final destination...

Matthew 23:35
"That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar."

The above verse is coming from Jesus. This is a very important Key. Jesus mentions Abel specifically. Where does the Blood of those that are slain go to? It goes to Earthly Jerusalem.

We now have a connection between Mother Earth and Earthly Jerusalem. There is a specific and critically important reason for this. It has to do with the Genetics of Mankind and the Lake of Fire.

If Babylon was earth, there would be nobody to cry, or to say, "Babylon the great has fallen, that great city!" (<--- Earth isn't a city/country) Because everybody would be dead. It says people looked from afar (which directly matches with my previous response when I said if a country was destroyed, everybody would see it no matter the location) and wept over it.

This is a very intelligent response! Unfortunately, you missed a bit more Fine Print. Where were said people standing afar off?

Revelation 18:17
"For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off"

They were on ships and boats on the sea. Everyone on land may be dead, but the folks on the ocean are still alive.

What happens to them?

Revelation 18:21
"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."

NOW everyone is dead. It is not until the remaining survivors at sea are dead can Babylon herself be pronounced dead.

Oh my gosh! You totally get it. Your posts are most impressive.

Wait until we get to talk about the 'Lowest Parts of the Earth' where babies come from...

Psalms 139:15
"My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth."

 

[ARose]

The crowns on the heads over the horns could most literally mean the royal hierarchy of the secret order of Lucifer’s descendants directing the other Angelic offspring.

We know that Jesus was through Mary marrying Joseph, resolving the legacy of Angelic descendant King David, yet spoke of not holding fast to genealogical lines as denoting authority, for a purpose: He had to come in that form but of a virgin, as Eve had been the first of before the fall, to unlock entrance for these dueling offspring of Eve; Cain was firstborn of Adam and Eve post banishment from Eden but was a seed from “The Apple” in Eve? Suddenly, after interacting with The Serpent, they knew about procreation but were innocent of their “nakedness” before.

Was Cain a “cuckoo” of the “dragon/serpant” or Lucifer? Is that communicated in Cain’s instinct for an offering? Did God know and was he telling us with this passage?

It’s one of the more perplexing entries: Why was Abel favored? Was he the natural offspring as initially meant to be? Wasn’t Cain’s offering less violent?

But we must remember that this world is not the end; goodness is in obedience to God not absence of violence.

Cain gave offerings of fruit/vegetation, which are primary producers: they get their energy from The Sun. Was this evidence of Cain’s Luciferian instinct and genetic “knowledge”? Was his non violence actually evidence of his partial angelic origin?

Abel crushed the primary producer and slay the one who ate from Earth’s “consummation” with The Sun. Later, Jesus would be slain as a “lamb” to complete the cycle God determined was the inly thing that could open Heaven back up for fallen humanity.

That dragon is lord of the heads, crowns and horns. The “dragon”, serpant is the head. Then there are major royal families and minor nobles.

Hold on @ARose .

I will be back later on to respond to your latest amazing posts.

I must do some errands.

Actually, I agree with you on the "not knowing what our purpose is" there's theories that God's people, whoever they may be- their souls already existed in heaven before they were brought on earth. And some people speculate whatever war happened in heaven also affects the earth. It's an "as above so below" kind of thing. Anything going on in the spiritual world will affect our earthly realm.

I mean if you're revealed you're one of the chosen, then to some extent, you would know your identity and you would know your outcome. But as for the full story? As in the battle in the heavens? Yeah we still don't know much about that, but it will be revealed all in due time.

Your perspective was amazingly interesting to read.

 

[ARose]

Thank you, both. Both of your posts are fascinating.

We now have a connection between Mother Earth and Earthly Jerusalem. There is a specific and critically important reason for this. It has to do with the Genetics of Mankind and the Lake of Fire.

This is a very intelligent response! Unfortunately, you missed a bit more Fine Print. Where were said people standing afar off?

NOW everyone is dead. It is not until the remaining survivors at sea are dead can Babylon herself be pronounced dead.

This is actually a great response. I've been maturing more over the years and I learned that there isn't just two judgments (one for Babylon and one for the wicked at the very end) there's multiple judgements that will take place. In fact, there's a lot of judgments happening as we speak. With the weather, economic declines, wars, viruses, and everything else that's too long to add here can be considered judgment.

So in that case, I can actually partially agree with you when you mentioned Earthly Jerusalem. I still believe Mystery Babylon is referring to America, but I also believe judgments will be upon all people's and nations in differing ways. Spirits themselves, earth herself, everything is getting judged. Everybody, whether chosen or wicked is awaiting. The earth trembles too, so you're right.

Could you explain more when you said "It has to do with the genetics of mankind"? Because I've been telling people bloodlines really do matter. I believe Abel was supposed to be of God's bloodline, and Cain was supposed to be of Satan's bloodline, which would indicate that Eve actually did the deed with him, but I don't see anything wrong with believing that. "Fruit" in the Bible is often used as a metaphor that is supposed to mean procreation as far as I'm concerned. Perhaps that's why God didn't accept Cain's offering. It all started with them.

We know that Jesus was through Mary, given the legacy of King David, yet spoke of not holding fast to genealogical lines as denoting authority, for a purpose: He had to come in that form but of a virgin, as Eve had been the first of before the fall, to unlock entrance for these dueling offspring of Eve; Cain was firstborn of Adam and Eve post banishment from Eden but was a seed from “The Apple” in Eve?

I believe in the theory that Cain was produced through Satan's offspring which is why God wants nothing to do with him.

Why is Abel favored? Truth is, I don't know. But I'm guessing it's because that's just the way God wanted it. He wanted a certain group of people for himself, and according to my studies, those who are the apple of his eye would be the Israelites. I've mentioned this last year to a few others on another thread but they called me racist just because I mentioned that the Israelites were black people, and that the first humans God created were black. I told them he doesn't favor them because of their skin color, it's for a different reason but yeah long story short, I was mocked, called racist, and that's it.

The heads and crowns are supposed to represent kings of different nations who are likely to also descend from Satan's seed, according to my studies. I just gotta let you know this is an anecdotal point of view, and I could be wrong on a couple of things, but this is how I studied it.

Well, bloodlines, genetics, and spirits do in fact matter. There's also many scriptures that talks about anyone from Satan's seed being totally destroyed in the end. (That would be the Edomites the Bible speaks of, which would be white people as of today) I mean it makes sense, white ELITES specifically- are in charge of the world. And this is just an observation. Meanwhile, those who come from God, and are obedient to his word will remain alive and prosper. Again, those would be the Israelites. The kingdom John seen is even described as having 12 gates. There are 12 tribes of Israel. I don't know what else to say. Seems like we got our answer.

There's actually more scriptures on this if you want to know, but I'll just pause here.

Jesus is the way for all; born to a virgin who married a descendant of David but was unknown to man when she was visited by the angel and accepted carrying Jesus, that was why he was the lamb to end all lambs, the tearer of the veil. The Old Testament covers the paths each people must take based on the directives given to them, for all to prepare the way to Jesus.

He makes a point of challenging the Judaic genealogical classification and exclusion and specifically made a point of acknowledging Samaritans, Israelites, Gentiles as all potential entrants to Heaven.

What’s also interesting is that Mystery Babylon can either be perceived as consummating a union with Earth or Earth itself, consummating with something else to produce “harlots” and “abominations of The Earth”; either meaning as offspring of herself, Earth or a figure in union with Earth. But we know it’s “of”, so it’s abominations produced from Earth.

OK, I am back. I will begin with the above and work my way down the list of responses.

The Harlots (Women) and Abominations (Men) Mystery Babylon gives birth to is none other than the Human Race. It includes all of us. Sadly, we are like a Cancer on this planet that must be eradicated or upgraded. Hence, what happens in the Book of Revelation. It is either the Lake of Fire, or Heaven.

The Marriage Supper is not about a Man and Woman getting married. It is the Sperm and Egg 'marrying' each other and consummating a union. In other words, the Marriage Supper of the Lamb is all about the Moment of Conception.

In the New Heaven and New Earth, the Lamb represents the Male Seed... aka... Abraham's Seed.

The opposite is what is in the Golden Cup of the Harlot...

Revelation 17:4
"And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication"

The above is a picture of an Ovum that has been fertilized. In other words, the Golden Cup is a Zygote. Her Zygote. All have partaken BTW.

Who fertilized said Ovum? The Earthly Father of the Human Race...

John 8:44
"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."

Not only is the above verse literal, but Satan is also the Earthly Father of everyone on this planet. We inherited our genetics from him.

This is how dire our situation is. It goes back to the Garden of Eden.

Who is Mystery Babylon in the Christian Bible? Just two verses are all we need to solve the Riddle...

Revelation 18:24
"And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."

Actually we need way more than two verses to understand who Mystery Babylon is. We need to understand it from both Testemants of the Bible.

As Christians we need to understand that the Bible is connected, harmonises and gives us more information on a subject as we read more on it. For a subject like that of end time prophecy we need to study it beginning from the Old Testament because its written of there especially in the book of Daniel which goes hand in hand with the book of Revelation.

A lot of the symbolic language used in the book of Revelation comes from the Old Testament too.

For example the book of Daniel talks about four major kingdoms that affect God's people. Babylon being the first kingdom. We need to know what word "Babylon" means and where it originates from. Genesis 11:4, 6, 7, 9 say, "Let us build ... a tower whose top is in the heavens. ... And the Lord said ... let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. ... Therefore its name is called Babel [“confusion”]; because there the Lord confused the language.”

The words “Babel” and “Babylon” mean “confusion.” The name Babylon originated at the Tower of Babel, which was erected after the Flood by defiant pagans who hoped to build it so high that no floodwaters could ever cover it (verse 4). But the Lord confounded their language, and the resultant confusion was so great they were forced to halt construction. They then called the tower “Babel” (Babylon), or “confusion.” Later, in Old Testament days, a worldwide pagan kingdom named Babylon arose; it was an enemy of God’s people, Israel. It embodied rebellion, disobedience, persecution of God’s people, pride, and idolatry (Jeremiah 39:6, 7; 50:29, 31–34; 51:24, 34, 47; Daniel 3 and 5). In Isaiah chapter 14, God uses Babylon as a symbol of Satan because Babylon was so hostile and devastating to God’s work and His people. In the New Testament book of Revelation, the term “Babylon” is used to signify a religious kingdom that is an enemy of God’s spiritual Israel—His church (Revelation 14:8; 16:19).

In the book of Revelation alone we are given more information about Babylon that is not in just two verses.

Revelation 17:1-6 tells us, "Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.” So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. And on her forehead a name was written:

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS
OF THE EARTH.

I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement."

Babylon is a harlot dressed in red and purple. She is seated on a scarlet-colored beast, which has seven heads and ten horns and sits on many waters. What does that mean? Obviously this is symbolic language so we've got to find out what the language means in reality and thankfully the Bible tells us.

- In the Bible a woman represents a Church. Revelation 12:1-6 describes a pure woman, clothed with the sun. Jesus always symbolised His true church (daughter of Zion) as a pure woman and the false, apostate churches as a harlot ( 2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 5:22, 23; and Isaiah 51:16).

A harlot in symbolic language in the Bible symbolises an impure or fallen church that is unfaithful to Jesus (James 4:4).

For example Ezekiel 16:2, 15 say, “Cause Jerusalem to know her abominations. ... You trusted in your own beauty, played the harlot.”

So Babylon is a Church or a spiritual organisation that has world-wide influence. All of the nations in the world have been influenced by her.

- The harlot dressed in red and purple means these are its predominant colours. They definitely help us identify this church.

- The harlot was also "decked with gold and precious stones and pearls." What a contrast to the simplicity of the pure woman of Revelation 12 who has no artificial adornment at all - only the glory of her raiment of light. Throughout the Bible, jewelry and articles of adornment are used symbolically as indications of apostasy and unfaithfulness. This also means this church is very rich.

- The beast on which the harlot sits has ten horns. The angel explained them in these words: "The ten horns ... are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: ... these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire" (Revelation 17:12-16).

This prophetic scenario is very interesting indeed. Since the number ten designates earthly completeness, just as seven indicates divine perfection, we can recognize in this prophecy a universal confederacy of earthly governments giving support to the beast for a certain period of time. Just as pagan Rome was one of the major political powers passing on its strength to the papal system we now see at the end times a joining together of all the kings of earth in support of Catholic aims. John declared that "all the world wondered after the beast" (Revelation 13:3).

But a change was to take place just before the judgment of the great whore. The earthly kingdoms, apparently, would recognize that they had been duped by the Babylon system and would withdraw their support. The prophetic language leads us to believe that at the very end they violently turn against the woman and "make her desolate ... and burn her with fire."

This helps us understand another symbolic account of the woman's experience. Although she was seated on "many waters," those waters were to be "dried up." Revelation 16:12. The angel explained, "The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues" (Revelation 17:15).

When those waters, of people and nations, turn away from their support, there is truly a drying up of the waters which held the Woman in her position. The details of this future development is impossible to define in detail, but the broad picture stands clearly before us in the language of the prophet.

No Christian should ever think they can come to conclusions on any subject in the Bible from two verses. We should pray and ask God to help us study and understand His Word then live up to it through Jesus Christ.

It’s also interesting that various pagan and Luciferian rituals involve priestesses representing forces of nature consummating sexual union with a beast, a Luciferian figure/Satanic force.

The High Priestess Tarot is a picture of the Harlot in the Temple of God. Since a Woman was not allowed in the Biblical Temples, the image on the card can be considered blasphemous. It is the Abomination of Desolation.

On the other hand, to the Initiate, she represents the Seed of the Mother. The Tabernacles and Temples are the Ovum by which the Blood of the Goat is sprinkled to fertilize the Ark of the Covenant (Nucleolus of the Zygote Temple).

And Earth is covered in glittering gems and hosts sunsets and sunrises of scarlet and purple, both important periods of the day for Sun worship. The Sun = Male phallic energy to femine “Moon” cycles, Apollo, Ra, Lightbearer.

Earth “riding” The Sun = Abundance outside of Eden, controlled by a fallen being.

Revelation 12:1
"And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars"

There is a famous saying... "As Above, So Below". There is a Biblical equivalent...

Matthew 6:10
"Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."

The phrase 'In Earth' is again, literal. Inside Mother Earth we find a reflection of what is happening above in the Heavens.

The Moon represents the Ovum. The Woman I believe is Sarah. She is clothed with Abraham's Seed, represented by the Sun. The Stars represent Children that will eventually be born from their Union. Thus we have...

• Sun = Father
• Moon = Mother
• Stars = Children

We see this pattern throughout Scripture...

Genesis 37:9
"And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me."

The above is referring to Jacob's Family.
