Doom of Babylon the Great
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 spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal. (Revelation 18:1-2) All Christian religions claimed they are servants of God the Almighty. They used the Holy Bible as source of the doctrine they planed to follow. The Catholic Church is not different. The catholic religion has many versions of Bible translation. That means the Catholic Church knows very much about the law of God the Almighty. But did the church follow the teaching of the Holy Bible? All Christians accept the Bible as the word of God and pledge to obey it without alteration. Do not forget that Babylon the Great symbolized the global Christian religious organization of Satan the devil.
The first law of Christian is the baptism by immersion in water adopted by Jesus Christ the King of kings the Lord of lords. The Catholic Church rejected it and replaced it by baptism by aspersion. This is a transgression of the teaching of the Bible the word of God the Almighty. As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 3:16; 28:19) The Bible prohibits the worship of images and representation of any kind. "You shall have no other gods before me. "You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me. (Exodus 20:3-5) The Catholic Church adopted the worship of images as the pillar of the doctrine of the Catholic religion. This is idolatry contrary to the teaching of the Bible. Therefore, my dear friends flee from idolatry. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth. (1 Corinthians 10:14 John 4:24)
Cases of child sexual abuse by Catholic priests, nun, and members of religious orders in the 20th and 21st centuries have been widespread and have led to many allegations, investigations, trials and convictions, as well as revelations about decades of attempts by the Church to cover up reported incidents. The abused include mostly boys but also girls, some as young as three years old, with the majority between the ages of 11 and 14. Criminal cases do not for the most part cover sexual harassment in the workplace against persons who had renounced sexual activity and therefore pre-declined sexual advances. Babylon is fallen because a lot of people know the truth about the Bible and leave the Catholic Church for a new religion. And the Catholic Church paid a lot of money for cases of child sexual abuse committed by Catholic priests. And that situation caused a lot of closure of churches in catholic religion and seriously declined in influence since 2000 in the United States and in the world. People who used to give donation to the Catholic Church refused to contribute since the problem of cases of child sexual abuse by catholic priests. Not only there are a lot of churches closed but also many catholic hospitals and schools have been closed because not enough money coming in to support the budget of such institutions.
Babylon the Great has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal. If you warship idols automatically you are a worshiper of Satan, his demons and any other evil spirits. A Christian must worship God in the name of Jesus Christ. And this is the way to have eternal life to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth. "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'" (John17:3 Matthew 6:24; 4:10) For all nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living. (Revelation 18:3)
The majority of nations of the world celebrate the holidays of the Catholic Church. January 6 the day of the Epiphany commemorated the three Kings’ Day or the visit of the Magi. This is not holy for Christian to celebrate at all. We know in Greek (magos) in plural Magi are astrologers or magicians who have ideas about stars and interpretation of their movements. There is no indication in the Bible the Magi were kings, and were only three people. After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him." (Matthew 2:1-2) Christmas is an extravagant Holiday celebration on December 25 each year. This is the assumption they commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. According to Luke account of the Bible is not possible for the birth of Jesus to be in December. And she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. (Luke 2:7) We all know where Jesus was born in Bethlehem Judea it was not possible for a baby to be outside in a manger because it was winter very cold. The date December 25 commemorated as the birth of Jesus Christ is false.
The celebration of Christmas is for business people to make money. Popular modern customs of the holiday include gift giving, completing an Advent calendar or Advent wreath, Christmas music and caroling, lighting a Christingle, viewing a Nativity play, an exchange of Christmas cards, church services, a special meal, pulling Christmas crackers, pulling and the display of various Christmas decorations, including Christmas tree, Christmas lights, nativity scenes, garlands, wreath, mistletoe, and holly. In addition, several closely related and often interchangeable figures, known as Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, and Christkind, are associated with bringing gifts to children during the Christmas season and have their own body of traditions and lore. Because gift giving and many other aspects of the Christmas festival involve heightened economic activity, the holiday has become a significant event and a key sales period for retailers and businesses. The economic impact of Christmas has grown steadily over the past few centuries in many regions of the world. All the activities above have nothing to do with the birth of Jesus Christ but for the retailers and businesses to become rich. Christmas always related to economy of the world than to celebrate the nativity of Jesus Christ. The prophecy of the Bible about Babylon the Great is fulfilling in our time. For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries." Revelation 18:3
The warning to escape from Babylon has been given by the angel of God the Almighty. Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "'Come out of her, my people,' so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues. (Revelation 18:4) It is imperative to get out of Babylon the Great because God ordered his people to obey all the time his word. Remember Babylon the Great symbolized the global Christian religious organization of Satan the devil. All religions that do not follow the word of God as it is written in the bible are false. There is still enough time to obey the warning of God the Almighty to get out of Babylon the Great. By doing so prove you are part of his people. And you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues. Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. (1John 2:15-17) For her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. (Revelation 18:5)
The Crusades were a series of religious wars between Christians and Muslims started primarily to secure control of holy sites considered sacred by both groups. This type of war caused a lot of blood shed before the eyes of God the Creator. In all, eight major Crusade expeditions occurred between 1096 and 1291.The Thirty Years' War was a war fought primarily in Central Europe between 1618 and 1648, starting as a battle among the Catholic and Protestant states that formed the Holy Roman Empire. One of the most destructive conflicts in human history, it resulted in eight million fatalities not only from military engagements but also from violence, famine, and plague. Casualties were overwhelmingly and disproportionately inhabitants of the Holy Roman Empire, most of the rest being battle deaths from various foreign armies. The Thirty Years' War devastated entire regions, resulting in high mortality, especially among the populations of the German and Italian states, the Crown of Bohemia, and the Southern Netherlands. Both mercenaries and soldiers in fighting armies traditionally looted or extorted tribute to get operating funds, which imposed severe hardships on the inhabitants of occupied territories. The war also bankrupted most of the combatant powers.
The genocide committed against the Armenian Christian by the Muslim people in 1915. The Armenian Holocaust, was the Ottoman government’s systematic extermination of 1.5 million Armenians mostly citizens within the Ottoman Empire. The starting date is conventionally held to be 24 April 1915, the day that Ottoman authorities rounded up, arrested, and deported from Constantinople (now Istanbul) to the region of Ankara 235 to 270 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders, the majority of whom were eventually murdered. In the 1990s, several authorities asserted that ethnic cleansing as carried out by elements of the Bosnian Serb army was genocide. These included a resolution by the United Nations General Assembly and three convictions for genocide in German courts (the convictions were based upon a wider interpretation of genocide than that used by international courts) In 2005 the United States Congress passed a resolution declaring that "the Serbian policies of aggression and ethnic cleansing meet the terms defining genocide. The ethnic cleansing campaign that took place throughout areas controlled by the Bosnian Serbs targeted Muslim Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats.
The ethnic cleansing campaign included unlawful confinement, murder, rape, sexual assault, torture, beating, robbery, and inhumane treatment of civilians; the targeting of political leaders, intellectuals, and professionals; the unlawful deportation and transfer of civilians; the unlawful shelling of civilians; the unlawful appropriation and plunder of real and personal property; the destruction of homes and businesses; and the destruction of places of worship. Ireland conflict was between Catholic and Protestant especially in Northern Ireland. The majority of wars in the world were related to religion including first world war and second world war. Too much blood has been shed in the name of religion throughout history of mankind. This was the reason the sins of Babylon the Great are piled up to heaven. Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Pour her a double portion from her own cup. Give her as much torment and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, 'I sit enthroned as queen. I am not a widow; I will never mourn.' Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her. (Revelation 18:6-8)
As a reminder Babylon the Great symbolized the global Christian religious organization of Satan the devil. And the prominent part of Babylon the Great is the Catholic Church; often the book of Revelation called the Great City. So the destruction of Babylon the Great will be seen vehemently in the disruption of Catholic Church. God the Almighty will pay a double portion to Babylon the Great taking from her own cup for what she has done. She spilled the blood of a lot of innocent people in the whole wide world and committed fornication with the kings of the earth. While she was doing that she claimed to sit enthroned as queen. She is boasted that mourning will never be part of her life because she is not a widow. For that reason God the Almighty has passed sentence. Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her. The wickedness of Babylon was very great; she had abandoned God the Almighty, and set up idols, and had attracted all sorts of people into spiritual adultery, and by her wealth and luxury kept them in her interest. All religious leaders will be at the reach of many plagues send by God the Creator. Such as death, mourning, famine and fire. There will be a great disruption of all kind in the global religious Christian organization. Babylon the Great will totally be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her. "When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: "'Woe! Woe to you, great city, you mighty city of Babylon! In one hour your doom has come!' (Revelation 18:9-10)
The kings of the earth lament over the burning destruction of Babylon. The rulers and great powers of the world that were formerly in alliance with her, and supported her in her corruptions, practiced her idolatries, and lived deliciously with her and Shared in the pomp and luxury of her prosperous state; will bewail her. They will not be able to afford her any support or defense, or to do any more than fruitlessly console her, and mourn her sad condition, when they will behold all these calamities come suddenly upon her for in one hour your doom has come. How strange, how awful, that so great and mighty a city should be so suddenly destroyed. "The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore. She bought great quantities of gold, silver, jewels, and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet cloth; things made of fragrant thyine wood, ivory goods, and objects made of expensive wood; and bronze, iron, and marble. She also bought cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and bodies that is, human slaves. "The fancy things you loved so much are gone," they cry. "All your luxuries and splendor are gone forever, never to be yours again." The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn and cry out: "'Woe! Woe to you, great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls! Because all this wealth has been destroyed in a single hour!" Every ship's captain, everyone who traveled by ship, sailors, and everyone who made a living from the sea stood far away. (Revelation 18: 11-17)
The merchants of the earth who are her business partner, and those skilled in the affairs of life, who gained so much by her promotions, and by working for her; the people of riches and credit in the several nations which she had corrupted, and who were supported in their pride and luxury by her means, will not be able to help in this hour of her sorrow any more and the kings of the earth; they can only weep and mourn for her misery, and for their own loss in her destruction. Now all commerce with her will be completely stopped; and nobody by her means will obtain wealth, credit, or power, any more. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off; the lamentation of the kings and merchants of the earth being ceased, masters of ships, sailors, and seafaring people begin theirs. The colleagues that belong to every religious house and order; and by sailors and traders at sea, all such who encircle sea and land to make proselytes to the Catholic religion, as Jesus said Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves. (Matthew 23:15)
Usually, these traders abroad may design the legates of the pope, sent by him into various parts of the world, to collect his incomes, and the missionaries who are everywhere in the world to promote the false doctrine of the church, and the priests that travel to trade pardons and indulgences. These stood afar off as the kings and merchants before, for fear of sharing in the condemnation and punishment of Babylon. When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, 'Was there ever a city like this great city?' They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: "'Woe! Woe to you, great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin!' "Rejoice over her, you heavens! Rejoice, you people of God! Rejoice, apostles and prophets! For God has judged her with the judgment she imposed on you." (Revelation 18:18-20) We all know sailors are people that live by carrying goods of the merchants; and therefore, properly, the terms signify all such people who get their livings by serving this Babylon the Great that means the global Christian religious organization of Satan the devil.
The sprinkling of dust on the head or rolling in ashes is a sign of sorrow and humiliation. The one upon whom the sorrow had fallen sat in the dust or ashes. The time comes for the angels in the heaven to get together with the people of God the Almighty to rejoice over the destruction of the Great City and the judgment of God the Almighty over Babylon the Great. She used to oppress and kill the people of God the Creator. Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and will be found no more. (Revelation 18:21) According to the angel the great city of Babylon will never rebuild; its destruction is forever and ever. The same thing happened to Babylon in 539 BCE when Cyrus the great conquered it. The prophecy said "Before your eyes I will repay Babylon and all who live in Babylonia for all the wrong they have done in Zion," declares the LORD. No rock will be taken from you for a cornerstone, nor any stone for a foundation, for you will be desolate forever.” (Jeremiah 51:24,26)
The music of harpists and musicians, pipers and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No worker of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again. The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world’s important people. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray. In her was found the blood of prophets and of God's holy people, of all who have been slaughtered on the earth." (Revelation 18:22-24) For the destruction of Jerusalem God made a similar declaration to announce her coming doom. I will take away your happy singing and laughter. The joyful voices of bridegrooms and brides will no longer be heard. Your millstones will fall silent, and the lights in your homes will go out. (Jeremiah 25:10) In the case of Jerusalem it was temporary for only a period of seventy years. But for Babylon the Great it will be forever and ever. It is time to get out of Babylon the Great.
Repent of your sins so that you will not receive part of her plagues. God the Almighty will establish the Messianic Kingdom. Jesus Christ will reign a thousand years with him all the people of God. Repent of your sins because only the elect (People who worship God) will have the opportunity to live with Jesus Christ the King of kings and the Lord of lords for one thousand years in peace and security. (Matthew 24:22) Satan the devil will be in the abyss. And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. (Revelation 20:1-2) And the people of God who died before the coming of the Messianic Kingdom will come back to life and reign with Jesus Christ for one thousand years. Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. (Revelation 20:4)
