Most of the world is suffering on more extreme levels than we are and rightfully so.
It's fitting that we feel as though the tide is turning and that help is on the way. That's exactly how it would be if sudden destruction was on the horizon. The enemy would do everything possible to build a state of complacency with the inhabitants of Mystery Babylon. After all Myster Babylon will be destroyed in one hour. How else could it happen unless the inhabitants had been effectively put under a spell of lies and confusion (as we currently are)?
How could most be deceived as to not see the signs before their ultimate destruction? Could it be a medium we call MSM propagandizing it's populace? Could it be false hope projected on the unsuspecting masses who aren't under the MSM delusion?
After all, we are told that the delusion would be so strong that if it were possible even the very elect would be deceived.
All of the signs are here for those with God given discernment. Half of this country or more is oblivious to the times we are in. Many who claim to be awake are hung up on man made solutions that they believe will deliver them from their enemies.
Few and I mean very few don't subscribe to either camp. The question is, are you truly seeking His wisdom and understanding? Can you confidently say that you are apart of His very elect? Or are you deceiving yourself in believing that the cause you are following is the true and righteous path that God has set you on? These are some of the few things we all must ask ourselves, if we in fact want to be called by His name.
I'm always asking myself these uncomfortable questions so as to not deceive myself. Are you?

There's a reason why the bible refers to it as "Mystery, Babylon" [emphasis comma].
Revelation 17:1-6 – “And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 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: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS and ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken w/ the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered and great admiration.”
Notice the comma after MYSTERY. The word mystery (G3466) in the Greek is 'mystērion' meaning -- hidden thing, secret, mystery (a) generally mysteries, religious secrets, confided only to the initiated and not to ordinary mortals (b) a hidden or secret thing, not obvious to the understanding (c) a hidden purpose or counsel.... of men.
Babylon is mentioned 250 times in our Bible. It is referred to by Bible writers as being the symbol of pagan idolatry. In the Hebrew language, the name Babylon is derived from the root “Babel”, meaning “to confound or confuse.” In the Greek 'Babylōn' (G897) in this usage means -- "confusion".
So, we have a hidden thing or purpose and confounding. This is not a place, but a hidden hand to which policies are made and possess the power of vassal governments to enforce them.
A glimpse of this was the corporate policy for employees to take the 'Covid' clot shot. Who had the influence over corporations to follow with these unprecedented policies? It was never Biden or the government. They played along. It was a 'mystērion'-- a hidden thing; or purpose ... of men.
Using allegorically the High Table in a John Wick movie (but far bigger), I believe 'mandatory vax☠xination was declared 'excommunicado'. Using this as an allegory, once the High Table (Cabal) assigned a doctrine for 'everyone' to get on board with their agenda.
It is possible that this scripture refers to the Roman Catholic Church. After all, the church is sometimes referred to as the "Mother Church."
I believe the Roman Catholic Church may be part of the 'High Table', but there appears to be even higher players.
The Jews did come before the church so they could be the higher power.
I said "High Table", not "higher power".... You said this. Albeit, as Harold Wallace Rosenthal admitted --"Most Jews do not like to admit it, but our god is Lucifer... and we are his chosen people." He also admitted that claims of being the 'chosen' people' is one of the 5 falsehoods Jews are told to repeat to the goyim. Unfortunately, Mr. Rosenthal was himself declared 'excommunicado' and the High Table had him assassinated during a hijacking. He was the only one targeted and killed on that commercial flight.
Wow, that's some whacky allegations for a 'Christian' type. Christianity is first and foremost cognitive...and never otherwise. Our thoughts and actions are governed by cognitive obedience to the Decalogue. Going back to Rev. 17:5, it states: "And upon her forehead was a name written,
MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
The verse above lists 4 separate designations all separated by commas/AND. It is MYSTERY (comma) BABYLON THE GREAT, not MYSTERY BABYLON. This is a common error that leads to misinterpretation. The word - 'name' is used and is not plural, but singular. In the Greek 'name' is -- 'onoma' (G686) meaning in the case, (a) the name is used for everything which the name covers, everything the thought or feeling of which is aroused in the mind by mentioning, hearing, remembering, the name, i.e. for one's rank, authority, interests, pleasure, command, excellences, deeds etc. (b) persons reckoned up by name.
Here is a writing I did over a year ago. 01-21-21 Being Filled With the holy Spirit. The rest is from another writing I did many years before that.
When we worship we are filled with the body of Christ, especially in the House of God where believers gather to be one voice before our Lord and Savior. Everyone knows in their heart whether they worship or not. When we do truly worship in each of us, our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and by our faith alone we are protected from all evil. I am speaking of true faith; the pouring out of our spirit to be Christ's anointed. In the community of worship, it has been shown time again that our voices are strengthen and miracles of all sorts are commonplace. The sanctity of our body is that place the Holy Spirit visits and resides. I don't know about you, but I have a huge 'welcome' sign and my door is left open for the Holy Spirit. In the House of God, there is no Bogeyman of an unseen, undetectable, un-isolated virus that can harm us in the House of God. By faith alone it is defeated by our Master Jesus Christ.
What is the [holy] Spirit?
Now, if I translated from the Greek how the [holy] Spirit is defined. There is so much more of an understanding of what the [holy] Spirit is contrasted to what is being taught. The earliest Bible we have is the Greek Septuagint. The Septuagint was used widely by the early Christians exclusively as their Old Testament Bible. This is a widely accepted fact and that the quotations of Christ and His Apostles that occur in the New Testament are taken exclusively from the Septuagint. According to tradition,Ptolemy Philadelphus, who purchased the freedom of Israelites in his territories, arranged for 6 scholars from each of the 12 tribes to translate the first five books of the Old Testament from the ancient Hebrew into Greek around 285 BC. By this time, a practical knowledge of the Hebrew language was all but lost among the Hellenized Israelites citizens.
After the conquests of Alexander the Great, Greek had become the common language of the known world. So Ptolemy gathered 72 scholars in Alexandria, Egypt and they completed the Pentateuch (first five Books of the OT). The Latin name 'Septuagint', meaning 70, was later, applied to the translation. Both 'The Letter of Aristeas', who was an assistant of Ptolemy and the historian Flavius Josephus record in detail the history of the making of the Septuagint. It is unclear when the rest of the OT was finished in the Septuagint, but it was certainly finished by 150 BC. The original Hebrew OT are now lost in antiquity.
Having stated this, I needed to give a foundation to why I'm using the Greek for translating when I'm talking about the [holy] Spirit. The word 'holy' is no where to be found in any manuscripts. It is a word added by the patristic writers to the Scripture. Instead of 'Spirit', we have [holy] Spirit. The word 'holy' basically means 'separated'. It helps better understand and separate this Spirit from other spirits. The Greek word for 'Spirit' is 'pneuma'. We see this in English words like 'pneumatic' or 'pneumonia'. It means in the Greek-- "a current of air, i.e. breath (blast) or a breeze." The meaning goes further to include -- "by analogy or figuratively, a spirit, i.e. (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, demon, or (divine) God, Christ's spirit, the holy Spirit:--ghost, life, spirit(-ual, -ually), mind." The root word of 'pneuma' is 'pneo' -- to breathe hard, i.e. breeze:--blow.
The reason I've mentioned this is the [holy Spirit] is not at all like the allegorical Zeus-like figure, but something else. The word 'pneuma' is closely associated to the Greek word 'psuche', which means -- "1. breath (a) the breath of life (1) the vital force which animates the body and shows itself in breathing of animals and of men. (b) life (c) that in which there is life (1) a living being, a living soul. 2. the soul (a) the seat of feelings, desires, affections, aversions, (our heart, soul, etc.) (b) the (human) soul in so far as it is constituted that by the right use of the aids offered it by God it can attain its highest end and secure eternal blessedness, the soul regarded as a moral being designed for everlasting life. (c) the soul as an essence which differs from the body and is not dissolved by death (distinguished from other parts of the body)."
The meaning of the [holy] Spirit goes much deeper than I presented here. The point is the [holy] Spirit is an Intelligence; a Mentality of Separation that is everywhere and is exemplified throughout Nature and Nature's Laws. In fact, in Thayer and Smith, "The New Testament Greek Lexicon" we are told to compare this to the Greek word 'psuchikos' --1. produced by nature, inborn 2. agreeable to nature 3. governed by (the instincts of) nature.
The [holy] Spirit is a Mentality of Separation; an Intelligence governing all of Nature's life and its Laws, to which Christians have a special relationship when in accordance to God's Divine order. Our body's temple receives the [holy] Spirit as a shekinah; the brilliant spark; the fire of his presence and glory of God and yet He is everywhere; in the air; breeze; blow; breath of life....
Care to tell me your definition of pharmakeia is? It means more than just 'sorcery'.
I had this real nice, long message typed out. Even felt [holy] spirit inspired.
Then I realized this is too exhausting. To try to show someone spiritual things. Particularly when they are carnal in their thinking. So I deleted and I'll leave you with this.
I stand by my comment and my post. I only deleted my last comment because I misspoke about your response in another post. Which is my mistake and I apologize for that.
Strong's has a good definition and meaning of pharmakeia. I'm sure you have more to add to it. I get a sense you have a lot to add to a lot.
Sometimes it's best to keep it simple.
Spirituality is always based from cognition. The blessing of being born spiritual is from conation. It is never emotionally based. That is an outcome from the experience. And I agree with you that you did indeed "misspoke". You as a putative Christian, one should never make unfounded declarations less it be interpreted as emotional over-reaction and bearing false witness.
Strong's is okay for neophytes, but it tends to mislead. The understanding of the bible is never keep[ing] it simple. There's more to understand than we know.
Then us will fall in one hour. There will be a NWO and there is no stopping it. Biblical
Every one with any "digging" genes or looking for "sauce" should be astutely aware that there is an end to this "greatest of nations."
The following Scriptures from The Revelation depicts a nation that houses world renowned business men who traffic in great riches; but also the listing of the grotesque spiritual issues and God's command that the people of God (the redeemed) come out of her and touch not or participate in the wickedness.
This latter is a direct heavenly command; "COME OUT OF HER" and this may well be the rapture (snatching away) of 2 Thessalonians.
This shocking event will bring in the Antichrist, who brings stability and peace to a wrecked and wretched world.
The removal of the worldwide Christian population will be explained away by the usual slight of hand by his cronies and worshipers.
What consists of Babylon the Great's culture that makes her like her predecessor?
A sea of various cultures from all other nations; ethnic groups; religion based in man and Satan; slave trade; human trafficking; compromising to trade in riches.
{She is literally a "whore," selling herself wholesale in every regard, she started out by a covenant with God (Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock), and defiles that covenant completely.
Suddenly in one hour has her destruction come by a sudden sneak attack. The first Babylon (see Daniel) is destroyed in ONE NIGHT by sneak attack.
So here is Bible to compare:
Mystery Babylon is interpreted as international corporatism.
Mystery Babylon could be anything. My take is that Babylon is London for various reasons including the fact that it is the world center of finance.
