24-Revelation-13:

Babylon The Great...is now revealed and becomes the major topic of the remainder of the book. In chapter 13 the ugly beast is revealed...in chapter 17 it is identified to be judged and destroyed in chapter 18. All remaining chapters have some reference to the beast until we reach chapters 21 and 22 with the new heavens and the new earth. This same beast was introduced in the preceeding chapter (12) where it was seen to be total world power and authority, controlled by Satan, as Rome at that time, represented as a great red dragon ( it is always represented by ravenous wild animals such as lions, bears, leopards, and birds of prey). The seven heads, simply represent the entire world with it's seven continents, which Satan controls, as God allows, by his ten horns, which also, simply represent the many and various kings of Satan's world kingdoms throughout the ages ( you need not search for the identity of the ten kings of the endtime ).

Now 'all the world wondered after the beast' and 'a mouth speaking great things' and ' he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven (as God will do)...and deceiveth...by...miracles'..........so do not underestimate the subtle deceptiveness of this brute govermental beast. Absolutely everything that this world government does, is presented as something for our own good! "For the mystery of iniquity doth already work; only he who now letteth (hinders) will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the Truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie..."(II Thes. 2:7-11). There follows a partial list of these lying wonders which are easily effected when the news media is under control...but God's elect are not fooled.

LWI..........Israel,as a nation, and as a race of people, are God's chosen people whomGod has miraculously reinstated in their land to rebuild the temple.(the acceptance of this unspiritual lie is the precise reason that almost nobody understands the book of Revelation...take the physical Jew back out of God's book of Revelation... and you will go, instantly, from darkness to the light of a spiritual book...spiritually understood...you will no longer need to search for missing 1000 year periods of earthly time for example)

LWII.........Communism is dead.

LWIII.......Science has replaced God. (the seven attributes of the Lamb in Rev. 5:12are stolen by the beast as atomic power, gold, and man's intelligence,etc.)

LWIV.......Peace

LWV.........Safety

LWVI.......Victory

Continuing with Babylon...a blasphemous name is upon the seven heads...each head containing a letter...B...A...B...Y...L...O...N. The 'deadly wound' further reveals this beast as Babylon (Rev. 17:11) and finally the number 666 reveals the beast to be Babylon. For, John was in the isle of Patmos, probably imprisoned by Domitian, during that short, yet severe, persecution in 95 a.d. when he received his revelations. These revelations were nourished for a portion of a year, within the mind and heart of the apostle of love until the Revelation was written upon his release from prison; for John states "I John...was in the isle"(Rev. 1:9). Now 'the number of a man' once again, simply means according to the ordinary years of a man as he counts his age... thus counting backwards from 96 a.d. the distance of 666 years you arrive at the very heart of Babylon's power (571 b.c.) and need not look further for 666 on world leaders' foreheads.

The sea monster is Babylon at another time (no longer Rome) rising from the sea of time and humanity to assume its place at the end of time...this is Laodician Babylon. This is the United Nations (with it's sea-roots in 1911 and it's end in 2002). This is all out war on the saints. "How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?...rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled." (Rev. 6:10,11). How many have died under Rome? How many have perished in China? How many in Russia? How long will this little season last? How many can endure to the end, and be saved without dying? The 'deadly wound that was healed' refers to the rebirth of a world power (in general...as Babylon...and as the League of Nations reborn). The dragon in verse 2 is not the same dragon of chapter 12 which is the world beast. This dragon is he who gives his power unto the beast and supports the beast as a world power and is in fact the separate lamb-like beast who merely speaks as a dragon and does not fully possess world control in himself, but is the major world leader who foists the beast upon us. The sea monster is given power to 'continue forty two months'...that is...to complete the time until the end in 2002 as the final world beast...having begun as Rome...and continuing now as Satan is unbound for the final assault on christianity.

Another Beast (vs 11) is the dragon (vs 2) which is America with the 'two horns' (the major player referred to above)..........which horns are the Senate and the House of Representatives. She comes up out of the earth as a mere temporary king, not as the sea beast of ages of total world power. America did not support the League of Nations (President Wilson did) and so it failed (nowadays, the president rules by executive order as a dictator in an unending fabricated crisis). But America not only supports the United Nations...she created the beast and gave it its' seat in New York City, and gives it most of its' money and armed force; and yet, like a lamb she humbly submits to the will of the United Nations with her one little vote. Make no mistake...America is the power behind the power...just as she is the power before (in the presence of) the United Nations...the one who made atomic fire come down from heaven (vs 12,13). America, the fountain of the modern miracles of science, is the one who has bewitched the nations of the world with its' luxuries and inventions. And dearly beloved, did you think that God had left her out of his Revelation? On her forehead is plainly Written... 'mystery Babylon'...America, who was beautiful (as was Lucifer...as was Israel, the earthly nation)...America the great...the great whore … the secret mystery power behind the power...the mother of harlots ( her very own 50 and the 185+ of the United Nations ). "Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou was created, till iniquity was found in thee."(Ezekiel 28:15). You were the seal of perfection ( in God we trusted )..."the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty"(Ez. 28:12)...thou king of tyrus...How art thou fallen? Alas,Alas...that great city...mystery Babylon the great...Red,White,and Blue with a golden fringe (Revelation 18:16).

On November 28, 1998 I saw in a dream...two bundles of young maidens with their long white bonnets and clothed with the Red/White/and Blue American flags...and they were held tightly together in their two separate bundles of maybe 20 to at bundle. They were high and lifted up, as if drifting down on invisible parachutes with other people of all kinds towards the rear of the bundles. And they were holding on to one another least they fall and there was a drifting of smoke in the sky as if they had just been shot up into the sky by sky-rockets. And spectacular bursts of fireworks were in the distant black sky...and I had almost been taken up with them, but I had jumped down at the last second...falling some ten feet to the ground. And now as I watched them in fear, many could no-longer hold on and they began to fall to their deaths, screaming, one by one...several hundred feet above me at an angle of about 75 degrees. I could hear the bodies splash into the soft ground. And then a strange thing happened...all the maidens, slowly, silently, deliberately raised their hands straight above their heads...both bundles in their forefronts...and peacefully they fell straight down together...and I awoke.
