At last - a common sense video clip about prophecy being (mostly) Middle East specific. This makes for excellent viewing and is about 15 minutes long. Bringing clarification as to what Israel and the world are dealing with. The common denominator is Islam. Islam is not only Israel's dreaded enemy.... it is the enemy of the entire world. As we all know, Islam has brought chaos to Europe as well as USA. It's insidious spread is creeping through the world like terminal cancer.
Which brings me to the identity of Babylon. Babylon, in scripture, always represents an evil, fake religion. Anti Christ.... therefore, anti Almighty God. It is logical to believe that the Babylon of prophecy is an anti Christ religious system. A POWERFUL system. One that threatens Israel and the Jewish people and Christianity. I can think of only one powerful fake religion that is a massive threat to both ... Islam. The Islamic beast has risen and is frantically active. I don't believe the USA can possibly be Babylon. The USA is a country with millions of Jews and Christians that reside in her. It is NOT a religious system but is purely political.
The identity of the "Whore of Babylon" (the woman who rides the Islamic beast) is, in my opinion, up for grabs. She could be the Roman Catholic Vatican or the U.N. or the E.U. or the USA... or even Mecca ! I lean towards this whore being an entity that uses the Islamic beast (who hates the whore with a passion, by the way) for political AND religious purposes. Hey - most of the governments of the free world are doing this - but I believe this whore is a religious body herself. An anti Christ religious system that has political clout. AND - a lot of money.She is dressed like a queen - is proud and arrogant. Secure in her position and having no fear of being toppled or destroyed. The fact that she is described as The Mother of Harlots leads me back to the Vatican. The Roman's were the very first to bastardize true Christianity. Bringing in all manner of perversions. Changing dates and times. Bringing pagan practices into the Christian dialogue. Perverting the communion cup etc. The RCC tortured and murdered millions of true Christians. Fought tooth and nail to stop the Bible being made accessible to all. I could go on, but you are all very aware of the RCC's horrendous sins.
The fact is that the Roman Catholic church was the very first to co-opt Christianity and turn it into a money making, politically powerful institution. Therefore - the RCC is the Mother of all Harlots. Roman Catholicism pre-dates Islam by many years. There are very convincing documentaries that state that the Vatican spawned Islam. In order to seize Jerusalem and destroy the Jewish people, it is said that the RCC created Islam. They also joined hands with Hitler - aiding and abetting the Holocaust as a result. The Vatican are desperately clawing for possession of Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, as we speak. In my opinion (and I could very well be wrong) the Pope and his Vatican are the "Whore of Babylon". The Mother of Harlots.
