As I said in a previous post, I view Q’s postings about things being Biblical more in terms of fulfillment of prophecy rather than a reference to scale, although the scale of what’s been happening is already extraordinary. I also tend to view the prophecies in Revelation a bit differently from the Protestant Christian futurist interpretation (which was the invention of a Catholic Jesuit to take heat off the Papacy the Protestant reformers were all identifying as the antichrist––go look it up.) I view much of the book of Revelation to be a presentation in symbolic pictures, such as occurs in dreams, and I believe much of it has already happened because in the first chapter John said they were things that would shortly or quickly begin to take place, not things that would take 2000 years to even start.

To my point, there is an interesting correlation between something Jesus said and the judgement of Babylon in Revelation.

“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”

This is a quote from Jesus in Matthew 18:6 (NKJB), and it is repeated in Mark 9:42 and Luke 17:2. Repetition in the Bible is usually an emphasis that highlights something important God wants His people to know or indicates something that will absolutely happen without any possibility that it will not happen. In this case, Jesus is saying that the judgement for the sin of corrupting children will be particularly harsh.

He mentions a millstone, which is a very heavy carved piece of stone that was used for grinding grain, and He is basically saying it would be better for the corrupters to die by drowning in an abyss than ever sin against a child who belongs to Him. Sexual abuse and cruelty destroy the lives of children far more than anything else, and knowing what we do about the global trafficking of children by the world’s criminal elite and what they use them for, the language in Revelation 18:21 concerning the judgment of Babylon is particularly interesting. It references a millstone, and I see a plausible connection to Jesus’ warning about the punishment of child-corruptors.

“Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, ‘Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.’” (NKJB)

Babylon doesn’t exist as a physical city today. It has long been a ruin in the desert, but this predicted fall in Revelation is in the future from John’s perspective. What was God showing him? For centuries what remains of the physical city has been a habitation for desert creatures in the fulfillment of a prophecy in Isaiah 13. Apparently, something that can be identified as Babylon continues to exist today.

To begin to interpret this we must understand that in prophecy a city is not always a physical city. It often denotes an organization that reflects the organization of a city, like a nation or some other organized entity, but in such a case it will be identified with a particular city from which it has its roots. In this case, we are looking for something that has an organized structure with the characteristics of Babylon. According to its description in Revelation, it will be something that exists all over the world among the nations, but not with an identifiable political structure. The whore of Babylon is pictured as something that rides upon the political structure, being separate from it, so we are looking for something non-political that has a great deal of influence.

The one thing that endured from that former empire is its religion, which included child sacrifice. Written on the whore’s head was the word, “MYSTERY.” We know that the wealthy criminal elites who wield unseen power practice a mystery religion, out of sight with secret rituals, and that it includes child sacrifices so abominable and cruel that it is difficult to imagine a person could be so callous and evil to do such things.

One of the characteristics of the Babylonian whore in Revelation 17 is her fornication with the leaders of the earth. Fornication is a big part of how the criminal elite control politics, blackmailing each other with recorded images of their cruel debauchery with minors. I think that is enough to identify what is represented by Babylon in Revelation. It is not this city or that nation. It is a worldwide power structure of invisible influence that controls politics, and we know most of the ones involved at this point because their crimes are becoming widely known. I expect this to escalate to further destroy their necessary secrecy until the whole thing comes down.

Another characteristic of this entity is its association with commerce along with its ability to generate enormous wealth. Revelation 18:23 says that her merchants were the great men of the earth, and that by her sorceries all the nations were deceived. These great merchants are the multi-national businessmen who use the wealth they gained through Babylon (Rev. 18:3) to influence politics, and who employ sorcery to deceive the people. It is interesting with the current state of corruption in the medical industry that the Greek word translated as “sorcery” in that passage is the Greek word for drugs, which are often used in the practice of magic. It is the word from which we get the English word, pharmacy.

I don’t think we need anything more to positively identify Babylon in the present time, or to know that it is right now coming to an end. The judgement the angel portrays to John is complete, and I believe we are seeing it unfold before our eyes. Nothing can stop it from happening, because no one can stop God, and He means to destroy Babylon forever. It might as well already be done.

I also find it interesting that Revelation 16 describes a great earthquake coinciding with the time of Babylon’s fall. An earthquake in prophecy, particularly in prophecy rendered in symbolic dream language as it is in Revelation, may or may not be physical, and it may take some time to unfold if it is not. In this case I tend to think it is speaking of a different kind of shaking. In verse 19 of chapter 16, it says that the great city was divided into 3 parts. It’s been a couple of centuries since Babylon was divided into three parts, those parts being The Vatican, The City of London, and Washington D.C. It also says that the cities of the nations fell, which in light of this interpretation would seem to indicate the dissolution of the existing evil power structures created by the secretive elite in the nations of the world. That, I believe, is what is unfolding now.

This is not the end of the world, but it will be the end of theirs, and when Babylon is gone, humanity will have some time to breathe. For a while we will be able to make real choices apart from the matrix of lies we all grew up with, knowing nothing else, the matrix that pushed humanity into a cattle chute, heading for the slaughter they speak about in happy tones with smiles on their faces (their plan to cull the world’s population by killing millions). Soon they will not be able to smile. The fallen system of Babylon is being destroyed. This is not in the future. This is happening now. The foundations of that monster are being broken up, and there will be no place for it in the days that follow.

As this progresses it will become more and more apparent how much unnecessary death this entity has caused in opposition to God and everything good, and how much these evil people have been responsible for the suffering of humanity.

“And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.” (Rev. 18:24)

Found = exposed, and all means all.
