The Plagues of the Mystery Babylon Downfall

THE PLAGUES OF THE BABYLONIAN DOWNFALL

In my previous article dated 10/26/2018 entitled Crimes Of The Babylon World Order found at: https://freedomfromdelusion.blogspot.com/2018/10/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-x-none.html

The discussion centered around the Federal Reserve System along with the hints and several indications that Mr. Trump and his team of patriots intend to bring down this central banking system that creates fiat money at their will, loans it to the USA government, and charges the USG interest on every loan of created money since its inception in 1913.

It was also discussed that Mr. Trump and his team are manipulating and directing the numbers and statistics of the economic picture to indicate that the economy is performing and progressing upgrade at an unprecedented rate. However, the exact opposite is actually happening. The economy has been degrading since the days of Obama. In fact, Obama greatly instigated the degradation with his enactment of restrictions, penalties, so-called environmental protection policies, and executive orders that restrained and severely limited businesses and industries from making a decent profit. This led many companies to leave the USA and set up shop in foreign countries, mainly China where labor is cheap.

Yes, the USA economy is imploding and the elimination of the Federal Reserve will cause it completely collapse to almost nothing. The economies of other areas are also imploding such as: the European Union, South America, and China. The notable exception may be Russia which has expanded their industrial and agricultural base along with avoiding the petrol-dollar through bilateral trade deals and national currencies. Mr. Trump has also negotiated several bi-lateral trades within the past few months.

It should also be mentioned that the new Russia, after the breakup of the USSR, has, for the most part, annulled their old atheistic communist thought patterns and now openly embrace the once formerly neglected and abused Orthodox Christian Church. On the other hand, China continues to harass and mistreat the Christian groups and churches within their borders and may find some tribulation issues prior to the beginning of the Millennial Kingdom of God.

Babylon Has Fallen

Revelation 18:2 NET He shouted with a powerful voice: “Fallen, fallen, is Babylon the great! She has become a lair for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detested beast.

Verse 18:2 reveals that Babylon has fallen, is fallen, or will fall. The verse is prophetic and Babylon will completely fall.

The word “demons” or devils is a literal translation. Several people have reported recent demonic activity in various places in the USA (not certain about other areas or countries). Dr. Jones claims to have been a part of removing demons from various individuals and that his group has mounted prayer campaigns to rid several parts of the country from demonic influences and activities. The numerous types of demonic entities do not appear to the eye in a physical or shadow form but they exert a certain amount of influence over world activities and people.

Unclean spirit is literally, according to Greek dictionaries, an unclean breath (i.e. spirit). A haunt (habitation) for every foul or impure winged creature such as a bird.

A haunt for every unclean and detested beast. This last phrase in the NET version does not appear in all translation versions. A note from the NET publishers claims:

There are several problems in this verse. It seems that according to the MS evidence the first two phrases (i.e., “and a haunt for every unclean spirit, and a haunt for every unclean bird”) are to be regarded as authentic, though there are some MS discrepancies. The third phrase (“a haunt for every unclean animal), however, is more problematic since it is missing in several important MSS. The passage as a whole, including the third phrase, seems to be an allusion to Isa_13:21. It seems reasonable, in such a case, to assume that since there is good MS evidence to support the third phrase (A 1611 2329 al), it probably dropped out of certain MSS because of its similarity to the two preceding clauses. It is the presence of all three phrases in the original that most likely gave rise to the divergent MS evidence extant today.

The context of Isaiah 13:21 appears to describe the ancient Babylonian empire although it could have a dual prophetic fulfillment in the modern Mystery Babylon. However, if it was primarily fulfilled at the capture of the original Babylon, there doesn’t seem to be any evidence to support that view, thus it may only be prophetic of the modern version.

The Plagues of the Fallen Babylon

Revelation 18:8-11 NET For this reason, she will experience her plagues in a single day: disease, mourning, and famine, and she will be burned down with fire, because the Lord God who judges her is powerful!” 

(9) Then the kings of the earth who committed immoral acts with her and lived in sensual luxury with her will weep and wail for her when they see the smoke from the fire that burns her up. 

(10) They will stand a long way off because they are afraid of her torment, and will say, “Woe, woe, O great city, Babylon the powerful city! For in a single hour your doom has come!”

(11) Then the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn for her because no one buys their cargo any longer –

In several instances, the Revelation refers to Mystery Babylon as a city as in 18:10. Over the years, several commentators and Bible teachers have attempted to locate and identify a literal city with the characteristics similar to the modern version of the Biblically described Babylon such as: Rome; Jerusalem; Mecca; New York City; and some obscure others. Some have written books describing the USA and particularly New York City, as the Biblical Babylon, as if the USA is the most corrupt and abominable country in the world.

Prophetic scripture often uses the term “city” as a description for a large group of corruption. The current version of this Mystery Babylonian system is not an actual structural city but a metaphoric system with the fiat usurious creation of money being the central aggregate. All other nefarious actions and systems such as war, taxes, drugs, pornography, and assassinations are merely protection and enrichment activities for the Babylonian world banking system.

Verse 18:8 states that she (i.e. Babylon) “will experience her plagues in a single day”. The word “plagues” (appearing in many translations) literally translates, according to Thayer and the Word Study Greek Dictionary, as: to strike, a stroke, stripe, blow, wound, injury. Thus the plague will consist of a strike that causes a mortal wound which will bring MB to an end.

Disease, Mourning, And Famine: Disease literally means “death” which is appropriate if many of the indicted are executed for treason as was John McCain. Mourning literally means sorrow or grief. The word Famine can refer to a lack of food but broadly implies destitution (i.e. extreme poverty).

And she will be burned down with fire, because the Lord God who judges her is powerful!” Fire can be actual combustion fire but in this instance, it specifically refers to electrical lightening. The fire is implied symbolism and is most likely referring to the fire of God. As the “lake of fire” is the justice of God and not a literal Hell, this fire should also be understood as the righteousness, judgment, just punishment, and total correction administered always by God.

The Lake of Fire  http://freedomfromdelusion.blogspot.com/2015/09/the-lake-of-fire.html

Exodus 20:18 KJV And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.

A Literal Translation of Rev 18:8

For this reason, Mystery Babylon will experience a mortal wound in a single day: some will be put to death, many will grieve, and others will experience the destitution of poverty, and she will be judged, punished, and corrected by the righteousness of God, because the Lord God who judges her is all powerful!” 

Verse 18:9: The powerful elites involved in sex trafficking, pedophilia, and sodomy as a practice of idolatry, will silently scream and cry to themselves. These elites have lived a life of abundant luxury as the vast majority have lived in poverty or simi-poverty. The judgment of the “fire of God” will only leave a ghost image of their previous lifestyle.

Literal 18:9

And the self-proclaimed elites formally having much power, the ones who practiced human slavery and perverted immoral sex acts and lived in luxury will silently scream and cry when they see the destruction of their former lofty wealthy life be taken down by the righteous judgment of God. They will only see a shadow of what they once were like wispy smoke. 

Verse 18:10: After the world’s economy implodes; the Federal Reserve and all central and international banks are dissolved; and the indictments are opened resulting in the removal of illegally gained wealth, many prison sentences; and the execution of traitors and those accused of treason against the nation – it could be envisioned that leftists, liberals, Hollywood anti-Trumpers, many MSM fake newscasters, and various others will recede into the background and attempt to remain unnoticed or hidden. It is not certain if “one hour” is literally accurate, but it appears this entire takedown will occur in a short period of time.

Verse 18:11: The word “merchant” refers to a trader, or one who trades with foreign countries by sea or land on a large scale, that is a wholesale dealer as opposed to a retailer (i.e. a businessperson who trades in commodities produced by others). The collapse of the world’s economy, which will be accelerated by the elimination of central banks, will place many or all of the large scale worldwide import-export companies out of business or severely downgraded. The majority of the population will be concerned with survival and will not be able to buy their merchandise. 

Merchandise or Cargo

Revelation 18:12-13 NET (12) cargo such as gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all sorts of things made of citron wood, all sorts of objects made of ivory, all sorts of things made of expensive wood, bronze, iron and marble, 

(13) cinnamon, spice, incense, perfumed ointment, frankincense, wine, olive oil and costly flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and four-wheeled carriages, slaves and human lives.

Verses 12 and 13 have presented a problem of understanding for several literal understanding, a future 7 year tribulation period, an “Israel will control the world”, commentators and Bible teachers. Chris White claims the costly items represent raw material for the clothing and utensils within a speculative rebuilt Jewish temple. Other commentators claim the list represents clothing and artifacts within a Catholic Church i.e. the Vatican. 

However, it must be understand this document was written during the 1^st century AD. Thus, the list most likely represents costly items only purchased by the wealthy and not everyday items purchased by middle class or lower class individuals, although the middle class seems to be disappearing.

Human Trafficking

The most interesting and thought provoking items within the merchandise list are slaves and human lives (translated as “souls of men” in the KJV) (literally a breath i.e. spirit). There are several shades of translations and interpretations but slaves and human lives will suffice for this article. 

It has been written that human trafficking is a big business operation in many parts of the world, with buyers being particularly located within the USA, Europe, Canada, and Australia. It has also been stated that Saudi Arabia has been a primary provider for these various types of slaves. X-22 reported that the main reason for the Khashoggi event was to provoke Mr. Trump to place sanctions on Saudi Arabia so hopefully the old human trafficking regime could return to power. Recall, that recently most of the old SA regime including many princes were either executed, relieved of their wealth, and forfeited their power, or some or all of the above. However, Mr. Trump and his team were aware of this information in advance of the assassination and did not fall into the trap. It appeared to happen after Jared Kushner’s visit.

Human trafficking includes: work slaves; domestic slaves; sex slaves; children for pedophilia purposes; satanic sacrifices (mostly children); and hidden medical experiments. Young children are required for sacrificial purposes supposedly because their adrenalin energized blood is consumed by the attendants for increased satanic power.

Revelation 18:21 NET Then one powerful angel picked up a stone like a huge millstone, threw it into the sea, and said, “With this kind of sudden violent force Babylon the great city will be thrown down and it will never be found again!

like a huge millstone Perhaps a future promise to pedophiles and abortionists.

Matthew 18:6 KJV But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Verse 18:21 is a promise from God, through an angel, that the Babylonian beast system will never occur again in the future. This current age will be followed by the Millennial Kingdom of God.

Revelation 18:24 NET The blood of the saints and prophets was found in her, along with the blood of all those who had been killed on the earth.”

Verse 18:24 tells us that the practices of: the pursuit of wealth and pleasure; wars for material gain; perverted sex practices; usury; and other atrocities represent idolatry because they are inherently devices used to replace the Lord God with false gods. The proper understanding of this verse is that idolatry, in all of its various forms, is answerable for the killing of saints, prophets, all who were murdered, and all soldiers, extras, and foreign populations who died in Babylon’s endless unnecessary wars.
