Babylon will resurrect” by Jeremiah

 

This time, we would like to talk about “Babylon will resurrect”.  Babylon existed long time ago and doesn’t  exist anymore.  However, it seems that the Bible is prophesying about its resurrection. 

 

<The name Babylon is mentioned in the book of Revelation>

 

Revelation prophesizes about End Times and we can see Babylon is mentioned in the scripture reference below:

 

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:

 

17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.

 

Based on this scripture, “Babylon” must be an important keyword in End Times 

 

<Will Babylon resurrect after seven times?>

 

Daniel tells us that Babylon will resurrect after seven seasons. Let’s take a look.

 

Daniel 4:24 This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:

 

4:25 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

 

4:26 And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.

 

Later, the King of Babylon was “banished out” of the human world and he became like a beast to spend seven times. The thing is, although he lost his mind, he later returned to the throne.  

 

This is so mysterious and also shows that God’s prophecy will definitely be fulfilled. However, it seems that it is not just about the experience of one king. There must be more implications behind it as the Bible is written on both sides with God’s wisdom.

 

Therefore, it seems that this describes the future of Babylon as well.

 

This means that although Babylon seems to have disappeared from the history, the foundation of the country still remains. Babylon indeed will resurrect after seven times.

 

King of Babylon passes over seven times

 

<The book of Revelation prophesizes the resurrection of Babylon as well>

 

You may not have heard about the resurrection of Babylon but if I am correct, Revelation also prophesizes it.

 

Revelation 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

 

17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

  

This describes about the beast in End Times who has seven heads and ten horns. The country is mentioned as; the beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition.

 

Therefore, the country of beast is ;

 

 

1. An old country that existed in the time of John.

2. But it doesn’t exist now. You can’t see it.

3. It will reappear in the future as a visible country. It will be a great and powerful country.

 

It seems that this prophesy about the country of beast seems to match the prophesy of Babylon, doesn’t it?

 

 

<The meaning of seven heads>

 

This beast in End Times has seven heads and ten horns. Let’s think about the meaning. Revelation describes about seven heads as in the scripture reference below:.

 

Revelation 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

 

17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

 

In this scripture, we can see that seven heads means seven big empires in the past that will affect the country of the beast in End Times. As it says, “one is”, this shows that Rome, the world’s biggest nation in John’s time” is one of those.  

 

From “five are fallen”, we can see five countries are the ones that existed before John’s time. They may be empires like Babylon, Media  Persia and Greek. 

 

Why does it say that there are seven heads on this country of the beast? Here is my theory.

 

The Bible tells us that this country is not just an ordinary nation but it is influenced by the seven empires. That is why it is described as “beast with seven heads”. The scripture reference below also explains how this country is influenced by the past empires. 

 

Revelation 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

 

As you refer to Daniel 7, leopard means Greek, bear is Media and Persia, and lion is Babylon. This describes us that the country of beast in End Times is indeed influenced by the past empires.  

 

<Seven heads means seven times>

 

The Bible repeatedly mentioned that the country of beast in End Times has seven heads as below.

 

Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

 

As you can see here, this scripture emphasizes that there are SEVEN heads, not one. This tells us that the country of beast is deeply related to the past seven countries. 

 

Another thing is that these seven countries are related to the past seven times. Therefore, this country really is Babylon which was prophesized to resurrect in the book of Daniel.

 

<Seventh and eighth country>

 

Now, the book Revelation describes a more complicated aspect about this country of the beast. Please take a look at the scripture reference below:.

 

Revelation 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

 

Here, the country of the beast is described as seventh as well as eighth. This explanation is very mysterious. What does this mean?

 

<Eight is the number of resurrection> 

 

We need to know that there are particular meanings to each number in the Bible. Eight means resurrection. The Lord resurrected on the eighth day (7+1 = the first day of the week) and circumcision takes place on the eighth day as well. It seems that the eighth

head matches the description of Babylon which resurrects on the eighth times after seven times.

 

<The country of beast is beaten before resurrecting> 

 

It sounds unreal to hear a country dies and resurrects but it is believed to be true. In fact, Revelation describes as in the scripture reference below:

 

Revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

 

This scripture describes that the country of the beast will experience deadly defeat and miraculously resurrect. I think what will happen could be something like this.

 

The U.S may get attacked by enemies (Russia for example?) and the whole country gets damaged extensively.

 

However, the U.S recovers in the short period of time and starts to fight back against those enemies. Finally, they will have the whole world under the control and this is the prophesy.  

 

Now, how come the U.S will be able to recover from such extensive damage?

 

That is because this attack is performed by themselves. The destruction and resurrection are all carefully pre-planned, just like  attack story of 9/11.

 

Right now, there is an underground government in the U.S with army and railway infrastructure all set up. The preparation for the resurrection is secretly being carried out.

 

<The U.S will become Babylon after the resurrection>

 

The U.S will become the seventh as well as the head of the eighth. The difference between the seventh and the eighth is destruction and resurrection. The U.S is the seventh before getting destroyed by other countries and becomes the head of the eighth after getting resurrected.

 

They may even change their name from the United States of America to Babylon. Also, when the country gets destroyed, many citizens will die as well. It is prophesized in Revelation as the judgment day for Babylon.

 

<Christian churches are married to Babylon>

 

Now, the name Babylon is also used to describe a woman in the book of Revelation.

 

 

 

 

Revelation 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.

 

Why is this woman also called Babylon? Let’s think about it.

 

In my opinion, this woman, the church, is married to Babylon instead of Christ. Woman usually changes her name after marriage. Her husband name is country Babylon and that is why she calls herself Babylon too. It is like she is declaring that she is no longer a single (widow) who is waiting for the return of Christ but rather has a different husband.  

 

Revelation 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

 

In addition, the Bible tells us that the woman, Christian churches in the U.S, will sit on the top of seven mountains as we see in the scripture reference below:

Revelation 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

 

Let’s think about its meaning. What does God mean by saying that a woman is sitting on the top of seven mountains. To me, it seems like this; seven mountains represents the past seven empires in the world as we have already said (e.g. Babylon, Media,

Persia and Greece). These countries belong to this world and they are against God.

 

These countries are described as Lion, Bear and Leopard which are seen as animals that could kill righteous believers. The history tells us that. Daniel and his friends were almost killed in Babylon, Esther tells us that Jews were planned to be killed in Media and Persia, and it was Greek who defiled the temple of Jerusalem 

 

Also it is written that Christian churches in the U.S is sitting on those seven foreign empires. This means that the U.S is influenced by the past seven empires. Does this match the historical truth?

 

If you look carefully, you will find that it really does. At the Christian revival meeting, alchemy that was used in Babylon is used and there is gold teeth phenomenon everywhere. But it is not the work of God. It is Babylon’s. They also adopt Babylonian magic such as the prayer of Yabetu, Church respects Greek science and philosophy, and deny the miracles of the Gospels and resurrection of Christ.

 

Roman Catholic is influenced a lot by Rome as the name suggests. This also confirms that the American Christian church is influenced by the past seven empires. God sees this situation and His wrath is on the increased.

 

<Destruction of Christian churches in the U.S is prophesized>

 

I understand that Christian churches in the U.S is special in a bad way. Because it is the only one that is clearly described as the harlot Babylon in the Bible. There is no other church like this in the entire world. Destruction of the American church is prophesized as the destruction of harlot Babylon. We shall therefore fear God.
