Mystery, Babylon’s Coming Fall – Visions and Biblical Knowledge
Mystery, Babylon’s Coming Fall (my title)

Fall of Babylon on Freedom from Delusion
This is the year of Babylon’s fall. In 2014 the transfer of authority from the Babylonians to the saints of the Most High was declared in the divine court. It was declared on October 12, 2014, which was the last day of our Tabernacles conference that year, but it was applicable to October 16, 2014, the eighth day of Tabernacles.
This year, the eighth day of Tabernacles is October 12, 2017, and October 16 is 5880 years after September 11, 2001, the day when the Nazi faction took over the US government, and the day life in America was changed. The number 5880 in years is 120 Jubilees (120 x 49 years). This suggests that liberty and cancellation of debt is coming in some way—or at least a sign of it.
Four Prophetic Cities Are One
Revelation 11:8 equates three entities which represent the world system that is falling.
Revelation 11:8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city [Babylon] which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified [Jerusalem].
This is the verse on which countless “Elijahs” base their belief that they will be stoned in the streets of Jerusalem. But the broader truth is the Babylon, Sodom, Egypt, and Jerusalem all represent the great city, Babylon, in the book of Revelation. Each physical city contributes its portion to the overall characteristic of Babylon, the succession of beast empires in Daniel 7.
Sodom refers to its immorality. Babylon and Egypt refer to captivity or bondage. Jerusalem refers to the Old Covenant, known allegorically as “Hagar” in Galatians 4:24, because the Old Covenant is a system of religious bondage. All of these cities were slated for destruction in various ways, and this destruction culminates when the stone hits the image on its feet and grinds the entire image to powder (Daniel 2:34; Matthew 21:44).
The Revelation of Passover 2017
The recent revelation about March 18-28, 2017….
http://www.gods-kingdom-ministries.net/daily-weblogs/2017/03-2017/a-divine-extension-granted/
…. is directly connected to Passover this year, because March 28 is Abib 1 on the Hebrew calendar. It is the day when the priests used to go to Jericho to see if the barley had eared out. If so, they knew that this was the first day of the first month, and they signaled that the people should gather for Passover in two weeks. If the barley was not yet ripe, they were to wait another month before keeping Passover. In that case, this would be the 13th month of the previous year, rather than the first month of the next year.
In 2017 the date marked the beginning of the first month (Abib), and Passover (Abib 14/15) falls on April 10/11. The tenth day of the month, where the lambs were to be selected, falls on April 6, 2017. This also marks the day when Israel crossed the Jordan River into the Promised Land.
The revelation that we have been given in the past few days indicates that Pharaoh has arisen once again to try to prevent the people of God from leaving the house of bondage. Hence, this prophetic pattern is drawing from the story of the exodus from Egypt. We ought to see some events occur along those lines on these given dates. We may also see similar events occurring a month later at the time of the second Passover (May 10/11).
At the present time, it is unclear how many people will be raised up to play the role of Pharaoh. We already know of one main story line that is being played out. Pharaoh is the court system in California, which is refusing to allow God’s people to be set free from bondage. There is a particular court case happening right now, which will set a very big precedent for all Americans, and the judges are trying hard to contain it. We may have more to say about this later.
Sodom
As for Sodom, on March 27 I received an email from friend in Wisconsin, who wrote:
“Last year, March 26, (Easter eve) I was visited by the two angels that were with Lot in Sodom. It was pretty scary. Short story is God had me pray for mercy for America. He then said He would grant it. The next morning, I woke up from a dream about a tsunami off the west coast.”
This particular revelation seems to suggest that instead (of) seeing fire, he saw a tsunami. Perhaps fire too might be involved, if we see volcanic action. Mount Rainier is probably a key volcano to watch……
The height of Mount Rainier is 14410 feet above sea level, which is 144 backward and forward. It sits in the middle of a National Forest which is shaped like a map of the United States, and in that way it represents the country in Washington State. I wrote about the spiritual connection between Washington state and Washington D.C. in the earlier link. Seattle is in King County, and now we have The Donald (“ruler, king”) in Washington D.C.
Jerusalem
The way Revelation 11:8 is worded, the city is noted for its opposition to the rule of Jesus as King. Jesus came of Judah and the seed of David in order to lay claim to His throne rights as King, for the Dominion Mandate rightfully belonged to Him. However, the chief priests usurped His throne and took the “vineyard” for their own use (Matthew 21:37-39), much like Absalom did with King David a thousand years earlier.
Putting it another way, Luke 19:14 puts words in the usurpers’ mouths, saying, “We do not want this man to reign over us.” They rejected the Messiah, and appealed their case to the King in the divine court. That case has been pending for nearly 2000 years, but it is about to be resolved.
The point is that Jerusalem is the opposing city, and it is linked to Babylon in Revelation 11:8. Paul tells us in Galatians 4:24 that the city is Hagar, the bondwoman, and then he concludes in Galatians 4:30, 31:
GALATIANS 4:30-31 But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be an heir with the son of the freewoman.” 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of a bondwoman, but of the free woman.
In other words, the earthly Jerusalem is the bondwoman that must be “cast out.” Jerusalem will not inherit the Kingdom, as so many Christians and Jews today believe. The inheritor is “Sarah,” the free woman, or the heavenly Jerusalem (Galatians 4:26), and her children—those who consider the New Jerusalem to be their mother and the capital (government) of the Kingdom.
Jerusalem as a Type of Egypt
When Moses led Israel out of Egypt, the nation was said to be “the church in the wilderness” (Acts 7:38 KJV). The church is a called-out body. Israel was called out of Egypt at Passover, so this first church was a Passover church.
The second church was called out of Jerusalem at Pentecost in Acts 2, so this was a Pentecost church. As Paul clearly shows, the church was called out of Judaism. The followers of Judaism, he says, are the sons of Hagar, while the believers in Christ are “like Isaac” (Galatians 4:28) and are “children of promise.”
Unfortunately, much of the church has reverted to Old Covenant thinking, largely because they have more faith in their own vows to be saved rather than in God’s vow to save them. See my book, The Two Covenants. Likewise, their interpretation of prophecy centers mostly on the old Jerusalem, a rebuilt temple, a restored Levitical priesthood, and even animal sacrifices, as Scofield taught more than a century ago. All of these teachings are Old Covenant symptoms of a church which claims to be of Isaac, but which, in practice, has cast their lot with the children of Hagar.
When Jerusalem is “cast out,” as Paul prophesied, it will cause a great wailing around the world, not only among Jews, but also among Christians who consider Jerusalem to be their mother. But one only has to read Jeremiah 19 to see the final end of Jerusalem. In Jeremiah 19:1 the city is likened to an old clay jar which was to be smashed in the Valley of ben-Hinnom, which, in the Greek language, is Gehenna (translated “hell” in Mark 9:47).
Jeremiah 19:10, 11 concludes:
10 Then you are to break the jar in the sight of the men who accompany you 11 and say to them, “Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘Just so shall I break this people and this city, even as one breaks a potter’s vessel, which cannot again be repaired’”…
The city has been broken many times in history, but each time it has been repaired. The day is coming when the city will be broken so completely that it will never again be repaired. This will be the moment when Hagar-Jerusalem is “cast out.”
Jesus’ Warning to Jerusalem
Jesus gave many warnings to Jerusalem, which the Christians heeded just before the city was destroyed in 70 A.D. The Christians fled to Pella and so escaped judgment. The rest of the people, thinking that God would save them at the last minute, fought to the bitter end, and their faith in a lie led them into utter disaster.
Yet the city was later repaired, so Jeremiah’s prophecy was to have yet another fulfillment. This is being repeated in our day, and world events are building for another disaster. In Jesus’ parable of the vineyard in Matthew 21:33-44, Jesus asked the chief priests and Pharisees to judge the situation where the vineyard was usurped. Matthew 21:41-44 says:
41 They said to Him, “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end, and will rent out the vineyard to other vine-growers, who will pay him the proceeds at the proper seasons.” 42 Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected, this became the chief corner stone; this came about from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? 43 Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and be given to a nation producing the fruit of it. 44 And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust.”
Jesus’ concluding verdict not only quotes Psalm 118:22, 23, but also Daniel 2:34, 35, where the stone struck the Babylonian image on its feet and crushed the image to dust.
In effect, Jesus was telling the chief priests and Pharisees that they should not become part of the Babylonian image. This warning foreshadowed the day when their descendants would take control of modern Babylon and become the toenails on the toes of the feet of the image. The Rothschild family worked very hard during the 1800’s to gain power over the nations by controlling the world banking system.
Their success was seen in the Balfour Declaration in November of 1917, when Lord Balfour wrote a letter of intent to Lord Rothschild that the UK intended to bring about a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The letter is reproduced here:
https://www.thoughtco.com/balfour-declaration-1778163
Finally, on November 29, 1947 the United Nations partitioned (divided) Palestine, giving the Jews a portion of it, and the Palestinians (under Jordan) another portion. They “divided the land,” and the Church enthusiastically supported this. Today, of course, when the UN seeks to enforce that division, the Church is horrified that they are dividing the land. How times change! If dividing the land was wrong, they should have been horrified in 1947. But, of course, they supported that division, because it benefited the Jewish Zionists and appeared to fulfill Bible prophecy. We are now nearing the 70th anniversary of that UN Resolution.
Most people today have no interest in religious talk and mock speculations that Christians publish as prophecy for our time. That’s not surprising, given the dismal failure of attempts by Christians to predict the future and especially the timing of events they prophesied.
High quality research shows how surprisingly accurate Prophetic books have been so far in describing the real but cleverly disguised state of the world today in general. Indeed, political, social, economic and technological characteristics of our day are certainly what we expected from thorough research, covering all the ancient books of the Prophets, combined with well-informed and correctly interpreted review of the symbolism in these ancient books and the state of the world today. But the calendar and sequential order of specific future events and their timing is still anybody’s guess, except for those who have the Key of Knowledge. Without this unique and amazing spiritual implement for unlocking the secrets of the Kingdom, Christians are simply guessing and making fools of themselves.

I’m going to read article. I looked at link quick and see they actually using the Messiahs name. Good sign already.
They usually use the fake name “Jesus”
I guess the apostles and the disciples who wrote New Testament Scripture used that ‘fake’ name as well.
Doesn’t this Hebrew Roots sacred name nonsense ever get old?
Jesus as God out, Jews as God in
The sanctimonious GayTheists gotta worship somebody!
Saudis are good too
Spiritually Sodom is Israel the biggest Gay Parade in the world along with a Homosexual agenda
Spiritually Egypt and Edom is America its why there is a Pyramid and Eagle and Stars on the Federal Reserve Note
Modern day Babylon is England
New Jerusalem is yet to come out of Heaven and you’re not going to be in that body when it does, most will not even be around after the Red Horse which is China, I told you a year and a half ago America was called Assyria before Columbus and Edom is getting close to their reward, the 1st beast is Trump and just wait till that wall is finished, it was already half built when Trump took office at a cost of 8 Billion to You the Taxpayer
Aramaic Bible
Revelation chapter 21
1. And I saw the new heaven and the new earth. For that first heaven, and the first earth went [away], and there was no sea again.
2. And I saw the holy city New Jerusalem as it came down from Allaha, as pleasing as a rightful wife for her husband.

The TRIBE of Judah are the “Lakota”
Glad you have all that figured out, Sean.
Maybe try writing your own Bible?
You might as well.
It is a biblical fact according to the bibles own figures that last days are the last 70 years of the number of years between BC596…to AD70 = 666 yrs the period of time outlined once as a MAN and once as a BEAST in Daniel Ch 2 & 7 respectively .as the time the 7 fold (7 seals/trumps vials) curse of the law of Moses was poured out on the physical seed of Israel purified until only a spiritual seed was left…
This is also how we know slam dunk that Muhammad was a false teacher…just like most “bible teaching Christians”…….THE SECOND COMING Thou Fool! “I come quickly” so “Hold fast till i come”… NOT …“in another 2000 yrs I might be coming soon any time now, so hold fast”!?! …those that deny the second coming of Christ in that first generation are practicing a damnable heresy in denying the lord that bought them ( 2Peter 2:1-2 ;2Tim 4:8)…….Mat 7:23..”I NEVER KNEW YOU” …..Mat 10:33. But whosoever shall deny me before men……..sound familiar?…. ……. If I said I am coming to your house in this generation when these things happen but no one knows the day or hour what fool would think I might be coming in 2000 years latter!?!? ..2 Tim 4: 4. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be TURNED UNTO FABLES.
Gal 1: 8. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
The book of Revelation offers us an interesting Theological dilemma. It states Rev 22:16. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. Revelation also states it is “the true sayings” of Jesus and that it is “the testimony of Christ”. If this is not “the gospel of Jesus Christ” then what is it and should we consider it accursed testimony of an angel? If it is not to be considered accursed, then it cannot be some other gospel message then what was already given previously. However, this is the conundrum, for if this is the gospel message, then why do so few understand it? There is a possibility which few consider but is the overall thesis of this apology. The reason people don’t understand revelation is because they never understood what the gospel message was in the first place! In that case, where does that put those who claim it is not essential for salvation? Do you not find it quite curious that the most “Personally” given NT book By Jesus himself, is the least understood and given the least importance for Salvation in Christendom?….There are numerous preachers and bible exegetes but as Paul said “… I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge” . Most who profess the name of Christ are feeding on doctrines of devils and the ignorant.. There are, without question, many “qualified” teachers and scholars with many years of “dedication” and “solid education”. However, teachers, no matter how well lettered or numbered in degrees; if obtained from others; who are just as equally ignorant in such matters, are just “ blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”………………

The second coming took place already and Christ promised that only HIS PEOPLE would see him ….John 14:19. Yet a little while, and THE WORLD SEETH ME NO MORE;….. [2 Cor 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ AFTER THE FLESH, yet NOW HENCEFORTH KNOW WE HIM NO MORE….(here the Context of John 14 is his second coming)…..continued…..but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20. AT THAT DAY .. 21. He that hath my commandments, and KEEPETH THEM, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and WILL MANIFEST MYSELF TO HIM……(again taking note “as he is” or 1Jn 3:2)
22. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, HOW IS IT THAT THOU WILT MANIFEST THYSELF UNTO US AND NOT UNTO THE WORLD? 23. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, HE WILL KEEP MY WORDS: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.( Rev 3:20) 24. He that loveth me not.. (1Cor 16:22)…. KEEPETH NOT MY SAYINGS: ( REV 9:16-20)
REVELATION 1:7. Behold, HE COMETH WITH CLOUDS; and EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM, …. There is a parallel here with ………….Exodus 24:10. And THEY SAW THE GOD OF ISRAEL : and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. 11. And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also THEY SAW GOD, and did eat and drink………..But Christ said….. John 1:18. NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. A person can see with their understanding and or see with their eyes…. It can see “seen” for certain that everything that Christ described was seen by the folks of that day in His coming but do they perceive that was him? …So what Christ said is true every eye saw him but the world does not see him….. With the eye they and folks still today can see everything Christ described to have taken place, but they do not “keep” ( believe and understand) his words as such they do not see him nor shall they ever.
The saints who have physical died faithful in the flesh (every man in his own order) are changed in the blink of an eye & caught up to sit on that Great white throne ( this congregation of the saints is the body of Christ that folks will answer to at the judgment and these saints will judge all men who cannot see Christ along with the rest of the world……Folks think they are waiting to see Jesus but they will NEVER see Jesus himself they will only see the body of Christ condemn them the saints judge the world (Rev 3:21; 1 Cor 6:2 et al) the saints are the body of Christ…that is the only part of Christ they shall see….only the saints shall see God face to face…..most peoples idea of the second coming & day of the Lord and the judgment is completely wrong

I love Stephen’s writings.
‘House of bondage’ is covenant language. Most people are unaware what a covenant really is, and what the practical applications are, regardless whether you are a believer or not. The ancient Assyrians and Babylonians as well as the Israelites organised their societies and international relations through covenants – it was as common as democracy is today.
This knowledge and practical application of government through covenants has been lost, but we still have many remnants in our language. Words like husband (house binder) and concepts like duties and rights. Or ‘sovereign’ – this has covenant roots as well.
Regardless whether you are of the Christian, Jewish or Muslim faith, or even if you don’t have any religious beliefs at all, you should find find this brief common sense explanation quite useful: http://globalcitizennews.blogspot.nl/p/the-two-covenants.html (no relation to the abovementioned book or organisation)
The Mark of the Beast is quite intriguing too. It is closely connected to covenants. You’ll find more information on http://globalcitizennews.blogspot.nl/. Any comments or polite criticism are more than welcome.
The name “Jesus” is only 500 years old when the English language developed the letter j. Never the “name” used in the Original Hebrew Scripture or “The Word”.
