If you know anything about Christianity, and I’m not talking about the Anointed One and what he handed down to his disciples to teach, I’m talking about the Catholic Church—and the denominations that were born from its side—it has corrupted much of what we understand about the Bible today. In specific, I’m speaking of what is believed regarding the topic of Mystery Babylon.

In the book of Revelation, the Apostle John had much to write about concerning Babylon. Many have taken the task upon themselves in attempting to decipher the meaning of the symbolic imagery that John uses in his apocalyptic writing. In this article, I will be another voice within the community of those who believe they understand the things that John wrote. So, let’s begin with the basics.

The book of Revelation is an apocalyptic writing. A literary writing, which is a genre characterized by figurative language, symbolic descriptions, and revelatory content, often found in the Bible and extrabiblical writings, focuses on the end times and a divine revelation. The specific purpose for an apocalyptic piece is to reveal the hidden secrets concerning the end of the age.

This literary genre draws its influence from the book by Daniel, which is also an apocalyptic book. The Book of Enoch is yet another apocalyptic book, as is the Apocalypse of Peter—just to name a few. The term “apocalyptic” comes from the Greek word “apokalypsis” which is the first word in the book of Revelation, of which the book draws its title.

The Apostle John, by writing this type of literature, understood what he was tasked to do. He was writing a piece that was for the purpose of—as was the purpose of other authors of this style of literature—sealing the truth that was understood by the author and their initiates concerning the end of the age. Why do I bring up initiates?

Apocalyptic writing began in the 3^rd century B.C. with the formation of discipleship programs under the Greek culture. Philosophers such as the Phoenician/Stoics initiated their disciples before they could learn the teachings of their founder. For example, Zeno of Citium. Anyone who is willing to read this work from with the Apostle John understanding had to be a disciple of one of the twelve Apostles or any Pastor/Teacher they placed over any church that was established under their influence. However, let us not lose focus in the fact that the leader of the church is Yahushuah Hamashiach (Jesus the Anointed One), who handed down the full explanation of the law and the prophets to the Apostles by revelation. Which was his purpose via a prophecy concerning him:

“And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. ²⁶ And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. ²⁷ And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, ²⁸ Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
²⁹ Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart
in peace, according to thy word:
³⁰ For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
³¹ Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
³² A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.”  Luke 2:25-32 KJV

This quote appears to be a combination of quotes. One of which can be found in Isaiah 51:4-6, I just want to bring to your attention the bolded word in the quote. The Greek word is “apokalypsis” or I should say, it is the accusative form of the Greek root “apokalyptō” from where we get our subject matter word “apokalypsis.” The same word is used for the book’s title called “Revelation.” I bring this up because how things are translated can conceal or reveal what the writer is conveying in his writing. I would have translated it this way:

“A Light to reveal to the Gentiles…”

This is exactly what it says, and Yahushuah is the one who revealed not only the meaning of his parables—which are called the secrets of the kingdom—to his disciples but also he revealed the meaning and significance of the statements that Moses and the prophets wrote at the direction of TMH.

So, John knew that he was writing a work that was for the purpose of revealing and concealing things concerning the end of the age. The only problem is this: John was instructed not to seal up the words of the prophecy of this book:

“And he *said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. ¹¹ Let the one who does wrong, still do wrong; and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still practice righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy.”  Revelation 22:10-11

This might bring a sense of relief to some who think that they can go about teaching things from it, but if they have not derived their understanding of the messaging of the Old Testament from the Apostles or Pastor/Teacher, you might want to withdraw. Might I remind you that our ancestors were in a continuous cycle of losing an accurate understanding of the truth concerning the Torah of God (law of God) by playing the harlot, and every time an unbearable hardship came from Yahuah (the Lord), they repented, and God sent someone to restore what they needed to know—a prophet. Though John followed the instruction of the messenger who spoke on God’s behalf, his writing in the book of Revelation is still an apocalyptic work that contains imagery that only a disciple(s), in his time, could understand because they were taught the truth concerning the law and the prophets by the 12 Apostles who received their knowledge of the truth from the Anointed One, Yahushuah (Jesus).

This clearly exacerbates our current situation, as we are engulfed in the same challenges that our ancestors have repeatedly encountered. They lost an understanding of the truth and were sent into exile and bondage. If you think that is far-fetched, please tell me about it after you have asked yourself this question: “Are you currently in the land of your slave masters and have all of the descendants of Jacob—in our time—repented and come back to TMH?” A complicated mess, but the good news is that to be grafted back into the olive tree, you only need to repent and believe the truth just like the apostles, Jews, and Gentiles did after the resurrection and ascension of the Anointed One.

Considering all of this, we are still not out of the woods; we circle right back to the fact that we must believe the truth to be grafted back into the olive tree. And all I see is differing opinions concerning what many of our brothers believe to be true. This also includes those who claim to be a follower of the Anointed One (Christians). So here is the question pertaining to the topic above: “Is it the truth that Babylon is America?” If you have read up to this point, you should be getting the sense that I disagree with the assumption that America is Babylon. I have no intimidation regarding my differences of belief. I will state it clearly from this point until the end of the article. As the Apostle Peter states,

“Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good? ¹⁴ But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. AND DO NOT FEAR THEIR INTIMIDATION, AND DO NOT BE TROUBLED, ¹⁵ but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence; ¹⁶ and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.” 1 Peter 3:13-16

I will begin in my explanation of my belief with John’s vision of Babylon’s destruction. You should already know that the wrath of God is the day of Yahuah (the Lord). The day of the Lord begins with the pouring out of the seven bowls that the seven messengers brought out of the temple in Heaven. This event starts on Rev 15: 5-8. We will pick up chapter 16:

“And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. ² And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.” Revelation 16:1-2

If you read that correctly, you would see that the object of God’s wrath is not only America. It is the Earth. Specifically, all those who have taken the “mark of the Beast” and worship his—that is, the beast—image. Now I have a lot to say about the beast and his image, and as I am writing this, I am contemplating whether I will point out to you the identity of the beast. For now, I will get through this article, and maybe at the end I will show you who the beast is. But we need not wrestle with that because I have stated the important part out loud. The day of the Lord’s wrath is directed at those who have the “mark of the beast”—that is, those who chose to buy and sell—and worship his image.

“And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.” Revelation 16:3

The second vial is much like the first. The direction of this plague is aimed at those who have the mark of the beast and worship his image. God’s wrath in this vial is aimed at food supply and the destruction of economic stability. You can’t buy any fish if it no longer exists, and men will not be able to eat; therefore, others will not be able to profit. Notice, they took the mark of the beast to maintain their lives, what they perceive as normal, and decided that the only way to do this is by worshipping the beast’s image, declaring him as TMH God. Interesting how reading allows you to understand things. But to make matters worse, God instructs his messengers to do this:

“And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. ⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and was, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. ⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.” Revelation 16:4-6

Notice that God completely dismantles the drinking supply around the world. The messenger of Heaven says that this was done because they—that is, those who have the mark of the beast and worship his image—shed the blood of the saints and the prophets. And because that was done, God has forced them to drink blood, for, they are worthy of it. Now, here is our next connection to the identity of Babylon.

“And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying,
Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. ²² And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
²³ And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
²⁴ And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.” Revelation 18:21-24

First, let me hit you with what should be obvious. If the messenger in Rev 16:6 states that God will force those who have the mark of the beast to drink blood because they shed the blood of the saints and the prophets, and we look at Rev 18:24, which says, “²⁴ And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.” It doesn’t take much of a genius to figure out that those who shed the blood of the saints and the prophets are the inhabitants of the earth and the blood of the saints, and the prophets has been spilled in the earth, or in Her, which she is described as Babylon that great city that had violence in her—stated in verse 21.

Here is a list of objects that also was found in her, that is, Babylon:

• the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee.
1. Question: Is America the only place where these objects are found?
2. Answer: NO
• and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee
1. Question: Are craftsmen only found in America, and whatever is crafted, is it only found in America?
2. Answer: NO
• And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee
1. Question: Is the light of a candle only lit in America?
2. Answer: NO
• and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee
1. Question: Do people only get married in America?
2. Answer: NO

The final statement is ambiguous, as it can refer to the union between individuals, or, alternatively, to the Church as Christ's bride and Christ as the groom. If you haven’t figured this out, you are caught up to avoid the wrath of God on the earth in the seventh vial. More on that later. So, if you are expecting to be down here when the trumpet sounds—the seventh one, I wish you all the best. Either you deserve it, or you will find yourself caught in the midst of chaos. Trust me, God intends to annihilate every square inch of this Earth. The rest of us will be back when the new Heaven and New Earth are created.

The underlined portion of the action and the statement of the messenger in Rev 16:21-24 is key. The messenger paraphrases Jeremiah 51:63-64:

“And as soon as you finish reading this scroll, you will tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates, ⁶⁴ and say, ‘Just so shall Babylon sink down and not rise again because of the calamity that I am going to bring upon her; and they will become exhausted.’” Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.” Jeremiah 51:63-64

Jeremiah instructed Seraiah to secure the scroll he had written about the impending calamity in Babylon to a stone, toss it into the middle of the Euphrates, and then deliver a prophetic statement. I tried to find this portion in the Septuagint, but it is not included in the LXX version. It wouldn’t matter anyway because the angel is paraphrasing from the actual words in the scroll that Jeremiah wrote concerning Babylon. Below are the portions of Jeremiah’s prophetic words found in the scroll that the messenger in Rev 16:21-24 is paraphrasing:

• “The sea has come up over Babylon;
  She has been engulfed with its tumultuous waves.” Jeremiah 51:42

1. The millstone that the angel tossed in the sea is supposed to represent Babylon. The angel was performing a parabolic pantomime showing John what the destruction of Babylon is like. Rev 16:21

• For the LORD is going to destroy Babylon,
  And He will make her loud noise vanish from her. Jeremiah 51:55

1. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee Rev 16:22
2. and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee Rev 16:22

• Indeed Babylon is to fall for the slain of Israel,
  As also for Babylon the slain of all the earth have fallen. Jeremiah 51:49

1. ²⁴ And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth²⁴ Rev 16:24

You may have differing opinions about my synopsis concerning what I have just revealed to you, but for the record, you can believe what I am stating, or you can disbelieve it. Honestly, it doesn’t matter a great deal to me because I’m going to do what I believe God called me to do anyway. Clearly the messenger from Heaven is speaking things that are derived from Jeremiah’s prophetic message that he wrote in a scroll concerning Babylon. He just hid the truth of God’s plan to complete the task that God started in Genesis 6:13 by using the oppressors of the geographical location called Babylon as a parabolic image of planet Earth and her inhabitants. Really, he derives his prophetic statement from the events found at the Tower of Babel, but I’ll speak on that another time.

What I have stated so far should already have you thinking that something is wrong with the idea that Babylon is America. But there will still be pretenders who hold on to that idea, so for their sake, I will completely level the ignorance of that false doctrine. So, I continue to point out the obvious.

“And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. ⁸ And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. ⁹ And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.” Revelation 16:7-9

In this event, you see the absolute pride and arrogance of mankind, those who have taken the mark of the beast and worshipped the beast image. When the fourth messenger poured out his vial on the sun, men were scorched with heat to the point that they blasphemed the name of God. With everything that they have gone through so far, they still could not find a place in their mind to repent. They are completely delusional. But I want you to continue to keep in focus the object of God’s wrath. That is important to an accurate understanding of the truth concerning Babylon.

“And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, ¹¹ And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.” Revelation 16:10-11

I want to key in on two terms in this verse. The word that is translated as “pain” is the Greek word “Ponos” and it means “great trouble.” “Ponos” comes from the Greek word “Penes” which means “Poor.” So, the great trouble that these unfortunate people will face is the great trouble from impoverishment. The interpretation of this is solidified by what is said in the next verse: “And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores…” Again, you have that Greek word “Ponos” but in its plural form, which should be translated as “great troubles,” and we are introduced to a new term, which is translated as “sores.” This word is the Greek word “helkos” and in this context, it means: an ulcer. I had to double check because I thought you could get an ulcer from hunger, but I wasn’t positive. When I checked you most certainly can. Now here is the kicker: the word that is translated as “gnawed” means “they chewed.” Have you ever been so hungry that you chewed your tongue because of your great trouble with impoverishment? Think about that.

God’s messenger poured out the fifth vial on the throne of the beast, and the beast’s kingdom was full of darkness. It means that whatever authority these people thought the beast had, it was completely obscured. Instead of crying out to God, they are looking for the beast to help, and he is completely helpless to the point that he can’t even stop the severe impoverishment that they are suffering from. To be honest, I believe that he is the cause of the impoverishment because he comes to destroy. When they realize that it is God’s doing, they still blaspheme God and refuse to repent of their deeds. Incredible!

If you haven’t paid attention to where attention is due, let me give you a little advice that I don’t normally give. The pride of mankind is so repugnant that even through all the things that God has put them through so far, they still will not repent. They are completely deluded. So, if I were you, I’d check the things that you believe before it is too late. When the Antichrist arrives, it will be extremely difficult to reconcile. When that door shuts before the image of the beast shows its true colors, it will be far too late. You cannot exchange the beast's mark for God's seal. Believe that one!

“And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. ¹³ And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. ¹⁴ For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.” Revelation 16:12-14

In this event, the sixth messenger pours out the sixth vial. This causes the great river Euphrates and the physical water to dry completely so that a massive army alliance can come from the east. The unclean spirits that John saw that looked like frogs, which came out of the mouth of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet, are something that I will have to explain in some detail. To understand what these images mean, you need to understand the Greek Stoics understanding of the Greek word “Pnuema,” and you need to understand the law of Moses. Two things. We'll start with the law of Moses.

In the Law of Moses, God told Moses this:

“⁹ ‘These you may eat, whatever is in the water: all that have fins and scales, those in the water, in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat. ¹⁰ But whatever is in the seas and in the rivers that does not have fins and scales among all the teeming life of the water, and among all the living creatures that are in the water, they are detestable things to you, ¹¹ and they shall be abhorrent to you; you may not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses you shall detest. ¹² Whatever in the water does not have fins and scales is abhorrent to you.” Leviticus 11:9-12

Frogs do not have fins and scales, so they are unclean according to God's words to Moses. Now let me preface this by saying that what you need to focus on is the fact that whatever is dead and considered unclean will make you unclean. That is the focus of what God is saying here. Considering that you will not eat anything moving, I would hope you would allow the thing to be dead before touching it. So, you really do not need to eat it to be considered unclean. All you must do is come into contact with it, and you will be considered unclean. This is made clear by what God says in the remainder of his discourse to Moses: “Also if one of the animals dies which you have for food, the one who touches its carcass becomes unclean until evening.” Leviticus 11:39

But this is all parabolic imagery because this is how God felt about the nation that crucified Yahushuah: “My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. ¹⁶ For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.” Psalms 22:15-16

We know this verse is talking about the Romans because they were the only ones who divided his clothing as the next verses stated: “They part my garments among them,
and cast lots upon my vesture.” Psalms 22:18

The point is that the law concerning food is more about perception than consumption, and that is why God said this to Moses: “This is the law regarding the animal and the bird, and every living thing that moves in the waters and everything that swarms on the earth, ⁴⁷ to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the edible creature and the creature which is not to be eaten.” Leviticus 11:46-47

If you need help, the wicked are the unclean, and the righteous are the clean. The wicked are considered dead, and you should not come into contact with their ways because they are dead in their sins. You, hopefully, had yours forgiven and are now alive in the Anointed One and are considered clean. If you are not, then aside from what I show in this article, I cannot throw my pearls to swine (pigs) because you will trample them being the unclean that you are. You don’t see the value in what I have said or will say in the future. Here is a side note: if you let people speak and you just listen, it will not be difficult at all to make a distinction between the clean and the unclean. If this understanding of the teaching (law) concerning clean and unclean doesn’t convince you, Jesus says one more thing about dogs:

“Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the district of Tyre and Sidon. ²² And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed.” ²³ But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us.” ²⁴ But He answered and said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” ²⁵ But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” ²⁶ And He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” Matthew 15:21-26

If that is not convincing, maybe nothing is to you. I’ll keep his bread to myself. Moving along!

The last thing that you need to know about is the Stoics use of the Greek word “Pneuma,” which is translated as “spirit.” First, you need to know that the Stoics are a group of philosophers/disciples whose leader is Zeno of Citium. Zeno is a Phoenician who adapted the Greek custom of philosophy. The Phoenicians are the descendants of the Ugaritic/Canaanites to whom the sons of Jacob had contact with during their stay in the land of Canaan. As well as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and his 12 sons. The Canaanites spoke a Semitic language, probably getting it from the proto-Semitic Natufians, who were the original occupants of the land. They had the same word for “wind” as the Hebrew word “Ruach,” which also means “wind.” Zeno, being a Phoenician, would have heard the discourse of the philosophers of his time using the Greek term “Pnuema,” and he most definitely brought his Canaanite/Ugaritic understanding to the philosophy of that specific term “Pnuema.” The Greek word for “Pneuma” is “wind,” much like the Hebrew/Canaanite word “Ruach.” However, to Zeno and the Stoics, the “wind” was the vehicle that the “Logos” traveled upon. For the Stoics, the wind “Pnuema/Ruach” and the word or reason “Logos” were synonymous, as the Logos traversed upon the wind—that is, the Pnuema. You can see this understanding of the word “Pneuma” in what Jesus says in the gospel of John. Keep in mind that the Greek word “Pneuma” is translated as spirit in our English translation:

“It is the Spirit (Pneuma) who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit (Pneuma) and are life. John 6:63

So Yahushuah is here confirming the concept behind the Greek word “Pnuema” and the Hebraic/Phoenician word “Ruach,” both of which mean “wind.” He lets us know that the words that he was speaking are Pnuema/Ruach/Rwh or Rh (in Ugaritic).

Enough university instruction of Semitic studies; let me get back to the frogs.

““And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. ¹³ And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. ¹⁴ For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.” Revelation 16:12-14

The unclean Pnuemas/Ruach/Rwh that came out of the mouth of the beast, dragon, and false prophet are the unclean words that only a dead group of people can come in contact with. These words are not for the clean—that is, God’s people. The miracle in all this stems from the fact that the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet can persuade the kings of the east and of the whole world—the governments of all the world—to gather together for the battle of the great day of God almighty. They are thoroughly convinced that they have a shot at winning this battle against God. I told you about the pride of mankind.

Before continuing his discourse, the Apostle John informs the reader that Jesus arrives to rescue his people, ensuring they are not caught in the midst of the impending battle.

“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” Revelation 16:15

John's indication of “Behold, I come as a thief” is to remind us that Jesus said that he is coming as a thief in the night:

“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. ³⁵ Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. ³⁶ But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. ³⁷ But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. ³⁸ For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, ³⁹ And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. ⁴⁰ Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. ⁴¹ Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. ⁴² Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. ⁴³ But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. ⁴⁴ Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” Matthew 24:34-44

So, Revelation 16:15 is an indication that the Lord will come to take his people so that they do not have to endure what can’t be avoided. Up until this time they were protected because they were sealed and supernaturally taken care of so as to avoid suffering with the things that those who decided to take the mark of the beast have suffered. The seventh vial is unavoidable! This is why Apostle Paul talks about rapture or catching up. It is to avoid the final vial of God’s wrath. I will show you what is going on at that time. You are not spending the rest of your life in Heaven, but you most certainly can’t come there being unclean. Remember what God said to Moses when he approached the burning bush.

John also mentions, “…Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” You must guard your garments during this time that the six vials are being poured on the earth because if you lose them, you will be mentally naked like those who are experiencing God’s wrath. It is parabolic imagery stating that you need to keep your mind clothed with the truth. The garment that he speaks of is parabolically the word of the Living God, and it is not to be mixed with two different materials/opinions. As Moses was instructing, “Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woolen and linen together.” Deuteronomy 22:11

“For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.” Galatians 3:27

“And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
¹⁷ And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. ¹⁸ And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. ¹⁹ And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. ²⁰ And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. ²¹ And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.” Revelation 16:16-21

If you think that the stones that are falling out of the sky are 200 lbs. hailstones, you miss the point of deciphering imagery. It’s more like the warhead of an M31, W25, or W80 nuclear warhead missile(s). How many of these do you think can make “…every island fled away, and the mountains were not found?” If this is the punishment of Babylon, or as some believe is America, then it doesn’t sound like this punishment is isolated to one geographical area, does it? That is because Babylon is Planet Earth. The earth that Moses called a “woman” in Genesis chapter 1:9. You can’t see it because your English translators do not translate it. So, I’ll provide mine:

“and Elohim said, ‘Let the waters under heaven gather to one place, and she will appear, the dry *ground* and it was so. 10) And Elohim called the dry *ground* earth, and to the gathering of the waters he called seas, and Elohim saw that {it} was good. 11) And Elohim said, Let her, the earth, bring forth greenery, the herb from seeding seed, fruit trees yielding fruit after his kind who {has} his seed {that} is in himself upon the earth, and it was so. 12) And she, the earth, brought forth greenery, the herb from seeding seed, from his kind and a tree yielding fruit who {has} his seed {that} is in himself from his kind, and Elohim saw that {it was} good. 13) And there was evening, and there was morning, a day three.” Genesis 1:9-13 My Provisionary Translation

I think I have given you much to think about, so I will not go into the identity of the beast. I will, however, give you a hint. The dragon in the Canaanite mythology, which is found in the sea, is called “Judge River.” Just one of his many names. He is also called "Leviathan.” The exact same term is found in the Hebrew text. That serpent was, according to the Canaanite text, the enemy of the Canaanite Baal. You need to know this because your ancestors abandoned God to worship Baal via the continuous harlotry they were participating in. The prophets mocked the beliefs the sons of Jacob had in this false god and hid the truth in the statements about God using the same imagery. Hopefully you can find and decipher those statements. If not, I guess you will have to find a teacher who has the knowledge to do so.

Well, it’s late, and I’m tired. If you believe the truth of the things that I have written here so far, leave a like on the page. If you resist these statements in this article, it’s okay; leave a comment. I want to hear from you. If you are not mature enough to state your opinion in a gentle manner, just hit a link and move on. We do not need to argue over it. You would just be arguing with yourself, so what’s the fun in that endeavor?
