"Is There a Connection Between Tyre and Mystery Babylon? Part 2"


 
Hello John and Doves,
 
Is There a Connection Between Tyre and Mystery Babylon? Part 2
 
This letter is Part 2 - mainly looking at Gary Stearman's two videos about the identify of Mystery Babylon.  They are on ProphecyWatchers.com website.
 
Gary Stearman pointed out the similarities between Tyre and Mystery Babylon.  Wow.  The similarities are definitely striking.  From their connection to global sea trade, to their location on the sea, to how merchants were made rich by them, to how they bragged about how great they are, to their idolatries, to the judgment on them and all the weeping and wailing at their destruction.
 
Gary Stearman made these two videos in 2023 - long before President Trump was re-elected, long before Trump's 'tariffgate'...I wonder if he would have anything to add to these based on what's going on today?
 
As for Trump's tariffs - "Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the 90-day pause on "reciprocal" tariffs was Donald Trump's strategy "all along" as he added that Trump purposefully "goaded" China into a bad position."  China responded.  "They have shown themselves to the world to be the bad actors.  And, we are willing to cooperate with our allies, and with our trading partners who did not retaliate."
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent makes stunning claim after Trump climbs down on tariffs

As of today, April 10, U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports is at 145%.  Mexico and Canada are at 25%.  "...Trump announced a 90-day pause on U.S. levies for scores of nations that did not retaliate against the tariffs unveiled last week.  China has put an 84% tariff on U.S. goods that kicked in on April 10.
 
"The trade war is now turning into a direct confrontation between the U.S. and China.  We could again be seeing escalation and de-escalation at the same time, pulling markets in different directions."
Trump 'would love' deal with China, but tariffs at 145% as markets sink: LIve updates

 This whole thing could resolve by this weekend or it could collapse and eventually Mystery Babylon is destroyed.
 
One would think that China would be a 'bit' upset to learn that Trump 'goaded' them into this position and showed them to 'be bad actors' on the global trade stage.  Would China be angered enough about this to do something?  The U.S. is their number one enemy.  These two superpowers will probably face off at some point.
 
Are President Trump's tariff's the catalyst to get the ten kings/horns of the Beast to set in motion the plans to destroy Mystery Babylon?  Has the U.N. picked 'kings' for their 10 'nation' global traffic system/global commerce?  Just waiting in the wings to take over....
 
The Revelation tells us that Mystery Babylon is divided into three parts (and other cities in other nations were hit also - looks like a massive earthquake - and "every island fled away and mountains were not found").  "And the great city was divided into three parts and the cities of the nations fell.  And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath."  Rev 16:19, 20  And an angel shows John the judgement - "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."  Rev 18:21  And we are told that its the kings/horns of the Beast AND the Beast that hate the whore and they do God's will - "shall make her desolate and naked and shall eat her flesh and burn her with fire."  Rev 17:16
 
"For God has put in their hearts to fulfil His will and to agree and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled."  Rev 17:17 So they finish off Mystery Babylon and THEN give their power to the AC for one hour (however long that is).  For the AC is about to take on "the Lamb and His called, chosen and faithful followers".  Rev 17:14.
 
Mystery Babylon is destroyed during the seventh bowl - near the end of the Tribulation.  Something else must 'remove' the U.S. from the Middle East before that.  There is judgment coming for America.  The U.S. has been warned - the Sign of Jonah and the Sign of Noah.
 
 
The Timing of the Destruction Of Mystery Babylon:
 
Some people have asked about Rev 18:4, is this the Rapture?.  But how can that be for a pre-Trib Rapture?  Fay wrote a few weeks ago, 'my people' are Jews as a possible explanation.  Or maybe it's a 'generic' warning - destruction is coming - get out!
 
John Tng and Fay's Letters:
 
John Tng wrote this timely letter 2 Mar 2025.  He wrote "Trade volume is exponential in modern history" and he wrote about the destruction of Mystery Babylon "For in one hour so great riches is come to nought.  And every shipmaster and all the company in ships and sailors and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off."  Then John really hit this home with "Given the rate that the Eagle is poking in the eye of the Bear and Dragon, the pushback is bound to come.  Will they attack in retaliation according to Duduman's prophecy?"...."Trade War 2.0 may lead to World War 3."  John saw the significance of this.
Trade War 2.0
 
And John followed the next week (9 Mar 2025) with this letter:  He wrote about NYC fitting Mystery Babylon 'better than any other city.'  NYC is in the megalopolis that Gary presents.
Babylon the Great is Fallen, is Fallen
 
Fay wrote about John Tng's Trade War 2.0 and reminded us about a third of the ships in Revelation 8:9.  She asks, "Are these warships or container ships (trade)?  Then she added "If I am absorbing this correctly, it appears that the looming trade war really gets nasty just after the rapture."  
 
Fay connected all of this to the Rapture with Revelation 8:9 "sort of numerically links to Rev 7:9 which is when the multitudes from every nation suddenly appear in heaven - holding palm branches - which has an important link pointing to Passover."
John Tng re Trade War 2.0
 
Passover Week 2025:
 
We have passed 10 Nisan - but we still have Passover starting the eve of Saturday April 12 to eve of Sunday April 13 (that would make for an interesting discussion for those Left Behind - millions disappeared on a Sunday!) the rest of the week is Passover Week or Unleavened Bread Week.  Feast of Unleavened Bread is 15 Nisan.  Feast of Firstfruits is 17.  On the chabad.org calendar the dates of this 'week' are 15 Nisan to 21 Nisan  (April 13 - April 19) 
 
The full moon will be 'full' on April 13 in Jerusalem at 3:22AM.  We remember that when Jesus rose from the grave, saints also rose up and walked around Jerusalem.  So there were 'two raptures' already on that day.  Will there be a third?
 
Gary Stearman:  Mystery Babylon:
 
(my notes)

Gary said there are as many opinions about Mystery Babylon as there are people!  "Maybe Mystery Babylon is not so distant in the future.  Maybe it's happening now."  
 
Who is Mystery Babylon?  And where is Mystery Babylon?  Does Mystery Babylon exist today?  Yes, Gary said this began with the statue of Nebuchadnezzar - he controlled everything he did in this 'system of Babylon'.  Which led to other systems for Greeks, Romans, etc.  It's a hidden system of politics, economics and strange esoteric demonic worship.  All woven into one thing called Mystery Babylon.
 
He said "the final judgment comes in the form of seven angels pouring out seven bowls of wrath on the face of the planet."  They judge different aspects of the global system.  The angel shows John the judgement of the great whore that sits on many waters.  She must be sitting on many waters - so that takes out ancient Babylon.  The kings of the earth have committed fornication with Mystery Babylon. 
 
Washington D.C. and The gods:
 
Mystery Babylon is the female deity of the Old Testament.  In ancient Babylon she was Ishtar.  She is Diana in Greece.  The greatest temple of the world was the temple of Diana in Ephesus - one of the Seven Wonders of the World.  She was in ancient Egypt - Isis.  She was Athena. She was Ashtoreth goddess of war. This goddess has existed all over the world. She stands in New York harbor.  Her statue is on the Capitol Dome (Colombia - goddess of municipal protection).  District of Colombia is named after the goddess Colombia.  Inside the dome is the Apotheosis of George Washington - George is seated with gods and goddesses. 

 D.C, the city have been overrun by gods and goddesses.  On the plaza in front of the European Union building in Brussels - there is a huge  statue of a woman (Europa) riding a beast.  She is Europa and she rides the bull - Zeus, the father of the gods.
 
Who is Mystery Babylon and Where is Mystery Babylon?
 
John is not talking about something that is abstract - he is talking about something that has existed for 4,000 years - Baal, Isis/Osiris, Ishtar, Tammuz - pagan god worship.
 
Mystery Babylon is a mystery religion.  This goes back to Nimrod.  A counterfeit to Christianity.  It demands a blood sacrifice.  Initially a bull.  This continued through two or three centuries after Christ.  Bull fights came through this ritual killing.  
 
She sits on many waters.  Ancient mariners referred to the Seven Seas.  These were sailed and controlled primarily by the Phoenicians (Tyre).  Babylon is called 'that great city'.  The Bible predicts that Babylon will die a spectacular death - God has reserved His wrath for this mystery system. The Babylon system is an economic system - a false system.
 
The great city is divided into three parts - Gary says this means it could mean an earthquake.  Another way is doctrinally - an internal political or economic division.
 
What city today is so big and so important that its destruction could halt all merchant traffic?  As this happens when Mystery Babylon is destroyed.  Once destroyed there is no way to repair this or recover.  In Greek this great city is described as megalopolis.  A great city is when two cities are built and eventually merge to become one city.  The 'one city' today is the territory from Massachusetts to Maryland.  Includes Boston, Providence, Manhattan, PA, NJ, DE, Maryland...at night from satellite you see one big lighted area.  And it's actually called "Boston to Washington - Megalopolis" in National Geographic.  This megalopolis controls so much and has so much power - no other megalopolis comes close to this one.  The District of Columbia is one gigantic devotional to the gods of yore.  Statues of Greek gods are all over. 
 
In the last days, Mystery Babylon will emerge in great power and be controlled by a great megalopolis - God's wrath will destroy it in one hour. She is burning and the merchants are grieving from out in the sea.  This is the most powerful city in the world - it's our megalopolis on the east seaboard.  
 
King Solomon and King Hiram:
 
Gary talked about Solomon and his great mistake.   He was the richest man on earth.  In gold, building materials, goods, etc - he had signed a covenant with King of Tyre - King Hiram.  1 Kings 9:10 Solomon built the house of the Lord and the king's house; Hiram furnished the cedar tress, gold, etc; then King Solomon gave Hiram 20 cities in Galilee. And Hiram was not pleased when he saw them - he called them dirty.  For all that Hiram gave him, Solomon gave him a whole lot of land with cities.   And Hiram sent Solomon six score talents of gold - 120 talents of gold  A talent weight 81 pounds.  Even though he was displeased with the land Solomon gave him.  God told the Israelites they should not make covenants with the heathen.  Solomon made a covenant with Hiram - because he had a global shipping enterprise and he could bring Solomon everything he wanted - including gold.  Hiram had a navy of Tarshish - it came every three years with goods.  Solomon was the richest king of all kings.  Hiram was head of a system of Baal worship - he exported this religion all over the world.  His ships went to Africa, India, even up the Amazon to Peru (where they got the gold from Ophir).   Solomon took wives from all over the world.  His heart was turned by his wives away from God.  He went after Ashtoreth.  1 Kings 11:5 "Solomon followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and Moloch, the detestable god of the Ammonites."  Solomon did evil in the sight of Lord.
 
Mystery Babylon has her beginnings way back in history.  This all started with the covenant with King Hiram - the chief of all merchant trades - and this was woven into an evil system.
 
The Law of the Sea and Lex Mercatoria:
 
Ez 27 The Lord says to take up a lamentation for this mystery religious system that has been built.  Tarshish is a code word for global merchant traffic - this will fall 'in the midst of the sea'.  The Lord tells Ezekiel about the coming 'day of thy ruin'.  This is the future day at the end of the tribulation when the seventh angel pours out its vial and Mystery Babylon is finally destroyed.  Mystery Babylon has everything to do with the sea.  Mystery Babylon is Tarshish and Tarshish is Mystery Babylon.  70% of the Earth's surface is water - it's controlled by the Law Merchant (Lex Mercatoria) - the Law of the Sea that is not answerable to any country.  The Law of the Sea is the law of Mystery Babylon.  
 
John saw the AC rise - and said I stood up on the sand of the sea and I saw the beast rise up out of the sea...  The rise of the empire of the Antichrist.  The woman is the great whore who sits upon many waters.  So the sea is the center of power.  The sea coasts are the area of control with one area of control becoming dominant over the others.  This is referred to as the 'great city'  The great city is the woman.  This beast came from way back with Solomon and Hiram's covenant.  Hiram king of Tyre is the king of esoteric mysteries.  He knows symbology, magic, charms, curses, dark oracles.  Why would King Solomon make such a horrific deal with Hiram and spawn what became known as the Babylonian mystery religion and more than that the commercial system governed by Lex Mercatoria - the Law of the Sea.
 
The U.N. - Ten Kings:
 
The U.N. wanted to modify the Law of the Sea to make a global system of traffic and control they call it the regionalized and adaptive model of the global world system.  Clause 1 proposed that Canada, Mexico, US become one control zone.  EU a second.  japan a third.  Australia/NZ a fourth...etc.  Ten commercial zones each headed by a czar/king.  In Revelation we see the ten horns on the beast - ten kings which receive power one hour with the beast.  The ten kings get their power from the beast.  Where does the beast get his power?  Who controls the sea?  Two things do:  Conference of the Law of the Sea in Geneva, Switerland and Mystery Babylon who lives in that great city. 
 
These kings may not have anything to do with the U.N. world division.  They may be powerful men now, maybe big in shipping/commerce - they get power as kings with the beast for one hour.  They and the beast hate the whore and destroy her.
 
(Back on 12 Jan 2025 James K sent a letter to Doves about these 10 kings. There is a map showing the ten regions.)
Gary's Choice for Mystery Babylon, The Great City and the Ten Kings:
 
Gary said his candidate for that great city is the eastern seaboard that runs from Boston to Washington - megalopolis.  This great city is becoming more devoted to the mystery religion.  
 
There is a clue about the beast that was, that is not.  Ascends out of the bottomless pit.   Seven kings.  5 have fallen, one is at the time of John, the last is future.  Some have guessed at these 7 kings - five fallen, one is, one is yet to come, then the AC:  Nimrod, Pharaoh, Sennacherib (Assyria),  King of Tyre, Antiochus Epiphanes, Nero or Domitian, Hitler and eighth the AC.  Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus, Alexander the Great, Epiphanes, Domitian (he existed when John wrote Revelation), Hitler,  then the AC.  Two guesses include Hitler.  Lots of guesses have been made over the years.
 
Nobody knows where Babylon is.  He believes the U.S. Boston-Washington megalopolis is the best guess. 
 
But who are these kings?  Nebuchadnezzar - head of gold.  Cyrus - chest of silver.  ,Alexander belly and thighs of brass.   Antiochus/Nero/Domition legs of Eastern and Western Roman Empire.  Hitler came from the "Rule of the Kaisers".  The thousand year world empire - a millennial reign of Germany.  So he set up his system based on Roman rule.  Caesar is pronounced Kaiser.  Part of the Babylonian system. 
 
There are people who want to do what Kaiser Wilhelm and Hitler failed to do.
 
He believes Mystery Babylon is coming into its final formation - it may be much closer than we imagine.  His videos were from two years ago...much has happened since then to further all of this along.
 
Gary asked, Why do we study this?  God wants us to know as much as we can so we won't be taken by surprise when bizarre things begin to happen.

Conclusion:
 
Remember the giant Tav God placed over the U.S?  The sign of Noah.  'As in the days of Noah...
 
And the sign of Jonah - the U.S. had two great solar eclipses.  6 years, 6 months, 6 weeks and 6 days apart.

Gary presents a very strong case for the identify of Mystery Babylon.  These 'kings' could be powerful men - maybe men who have been hit by President Trump's tariffs - maybe they've lost billions in this.  Maybe they are shipping magnates, maybe they had container ships sitting out at sea waiting for the tariffs to change (loosing billions) or their business does a lot of importing from China (Jeff Bezos for example)....Maybe they are just tired of him running the whole world (they don't like him having all the cards).

We are fast approaching Passover - and the Week of Unleavened Bread.  A very Holy time.  Maybe we are much closer to the destruction of Mystery Babylon than we think, as Gary said.  I really doubt the world leaders, and world billionaires, like President Trump rocking their boat...
 
IF Mystery Babylon isn't our eastern seaboard megalopolis, who is?
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem~
 
Maranatha~
