i know you're a busy guy...but i love sharing this type of stuff..and topics like this, with all the fkery coming from entities like thundarian, only give me more certainty...
just dont use it to attack the bible later down the line. Ignore these clowns. these people dont really give a sheet about the bible anyway, they only pay it lip service.
so i figured id share this with you. take your time and read it inc the links. it's worth the read, trust me.
Revelation 17 and 18
"The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,
and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”
Babylon, the Prostitute on the Beast - One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were...

Lament Over Fallen Babylon - 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!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure...

one of the points i've been making for a while against the likes of Sheikh Imran Hossein, is that when they label modern israel as the dajjalic state, they fall into the trap that 'mystery babylon' represents in the first place.
Mystery babylon/fake israel is a decoy whose destruction will unite the world...all under the fake messiah.
In the book of Habakkuk chapter 2...God highlights the evil of usury practiced by the chaldean rulers of babylon. It gives us this vague theme of 'stones and wood' eg
The stones of the wall will cry out,
and the beams of the woodwork will echo it.
12 “Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed
and establishes a town by injustice!
here the stones and wood are symbolic with the practice of usury and the way it's given the chaldeans the power to enslave other nations and take their property and homes.
here the wood and stones represent spiritual idolatory
Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Come to life!’
Or to lifeless stone, ‘Wake up!’
Can it give guidance?
It is covered with gold and silver;
there is no breath in it.”
now given this context, the connection with Babylon.
We see in Jeremiah 2 and 3 throughout with God using the wood/stone (idolatory) theme in relation to israel and judeah who are referred to as adulteriesses/whores
“Have you seen what faithless Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every spreading tree and has committed adultery there. 7 I thought that after she had done all this she would return to me but she did not, and her unfaithful sister Judah saw it. 8 I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear; she also went out and committed adultery. 9 Because Israel’s immorality mattered so little to her, she defiled the land and committed adultery with stone and wood.
“If a man divorces his wife and she leaves him and marries another man, should he return to her again? Would not the land be completely defiled? But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers— would you now return to me?” declares the LORD. “Look up to the barren heights and see. Is there...

in Zechariah 5 it goes even deeper
it foretold the jewish exile to babylon, by referring to judea as the 'wicked woman'. she's taken on a basket to babylon
1 He replied, “To the country of Babylonia to build a house for it. When the house is ready, the basket will be set there in its place.”
given the context, the connection to usury..
you see this also in the same chapter
3 And he said to me, “This is the curse that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on one side, every thief will be banished, and according to what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely will be banished. 4 The Lord Almighty declares, ‘I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of anyone who swears falsely by my name. It will remain in that house and destroy it completely, both its timbers and its stones.’”
(same theme again)
The Flying Scroll - I looked again, and there before me was a flying scroll. He asked me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.” And he said to me, “This is the curse that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on...

here's the beauty in the above
this 'curse'
because when i read it the first thing i remembered was THIS
Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) cursed the one who accepted usury, the one who paid it, the witness to it, and the one who recorded it. (Book #22, Hadith #3327)
eg the theif is the money lender, the one who swears falsely is the one who can't honour his debts/takes on the loan. all connected to usury.
The other thing is, in Revelation, the 'whore sits on the beast', the beast being end times Rome /the world government...which inc all of us
eg the colonial nations (which is foretold as the first horseman prophecy in Revelation 6) were former roman colonies. In the christian context, these nations colonised the majority of the world. Think about the context too
colonialism happened after the catholic/protestant divide..and the spanish-anglo war..which resulted in them developing navies, which led to trade wars, piracy etc.
The consequence of which led to ww1 and 2 (which is foretold as the second horseman prophecy in Revelation 6).
now what developed from 2 world wars?
the league of nations..and the united nations.
so you only need to look at the flag of the UN and the countries involved with it, to get a clue what's on the horizon.
The third horseman in Rev 6 represents the capitalist era and the rise of israel (if you actually take the time to read revelation 6, the 'olive oil and wine' that's being protected..that's israel.)
serious talk...i doubt a single one of this lot noticed that..but i did.
so back to the whore. the image in the book of Revelation is of the whore sitting on the beast, taking it to it's destination..and then the beast destroying her.
see if you go back to Habbakuk 2, one key point was this
“‘Woe to him who piles up stolen goods
and makes himself wealthy by extortion!
How long must this go on?’
7 Will not your creditors suddenly arise?
Will they not wake up and make you tremble?
Then you will become their prey.
8 Because you have plundered many nations,
the peoples who are left will plunder you.
For you have shed human blood;
you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts; I will look to see what he will say to me, and what answer I am to give to this complaint. The LORD’s Answer - Then the LORD replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the...
www.biblegateway.com
(btw, where it says 'wealthy by extortion' it actually refers to 'usury' eg growing wealthy through charging interest) and in doing.
obv the bible condemns such practices and the consequences of it eg colonial rule.
basically, the chaldeans were only administrators in babylon. They were not the TRUE rulers. they merely had the appearance of rulers. The money they were lending, didnt belong to them directly eg their 'creditors' the ones who lent them the money to administer. the real wealth holders, the real satanic elite...from babylon to rome.
the truth is satan HATES the abrahimic bloodline...they're being used for his own purpose after which they'll be removed. even dajjal is not the end game here bro..dajjal is just another facilitator..
in the book of Rev we're told that the false prophet will cause everyone to 'worship the image'
this image..is the global thoughtform that already exists, is in us all and connected with our thoughts/emotions etc..
this thoughtform is effectively becoming the deity of the world..
what gave it power? the mass sacrifice/bloodshed of the last century...which inc the holocoast, just think about that..
followed by, the sexual revolution..
and these satanic jews (the whore) who wish to be part of that system, are the biggest facilitators.
so in Zechariah 11 it tells us the worthless shepherd will 'desert the flock' (eg dajjal will betray them)
and when that happens, it is in fulfillment of the prophecy imran hossein talks about
the alliance between the arabs/muslims and romans...against a 'common enemy' after which it's total war (the malhamma) between the muslims and romans
hence this famous hadith which they claim is anti-semitic...even though it has more in common with the bible
The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.
you get it right? the stones/trees connection...but it's deeper than that eg the whole thing itself and what event in bible prophecy it refers to eg the fall of mystery babylon and the Zechariah 11 prophecy.
on one side it is dajjals and satans plan and on the other
15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages. 16 The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17 For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority, until God’s words are fulfilled. 18 The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”
meanwhile...
in both the hadith and in the book of Revelation, before the above happens, there's going to be a greater israel eg the nile to euphrates..
and hence in the hadith the prophecy of iraq, syria and egypt is given
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: iraq would withhold its dirhams and qafiz; syria would withhold its mudd and dinar and egypt would withhold its irdab and dinar and you would recoil to that position from where you started and you would recoil to that position from where you started and you would recoil to that position from where you started, the bones and the flesh of Abu Huraira would bear testimony to it. (Book #041, Hadith #6923)
in Revelation, this is all in chapter 9 eg the euphrates war and before that, the apollyon/locusts prophecy (which is the dabbat al ard character foretold in the Quran).
the dabbat al ard, according to hadith, is a good entity that wears the 'ring of Solomon' and carries the 'staff of Moses'
anoher symbolic connection to the Nile and Euphrates...eg solomon's empire went as far as the euphrates
Now Solomon reigned over all the kingdoms from the [Euphrates] River to the land of the Philistines and to the border of Egypt; they brought tribute (money) and served Solomon all the days of his life.
if all that wsnt enough, if you read the apollyon/locusts prophecy from Revelation 9, this is actually the next major prophecy..the one that's coming..and what do we know about the locusts theme and the whole connection to Moses (as in the dabbat al ard carrying the staff of Moses?). the 10 plagues..torment etc.
likewise the hadith prophecy of iraq and syria has been fulfilled..and egypt is next.
how it happens, obv i havent a clue yet, and likewise the apollyon/dabbat al ard prophecies...because they're unlike any previous prophecies since they refer to a supernatural entity or something alien (or AI/technological)..
Rev 9 says 'a star fell out from heaven and fell on earth opening the shaft to the bottomless pit' (hence the dabbat al ard)..
