~~~~~~~~~Jerusalem, the Mystery Babylon ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Isaiah one with some other Scriptures positively proves that the Law nation of old Israel is the same ‘woman’ as the mystery Babylon, which God said to come out of.

I will only comment on a few of these verses, but you should study this whole chapter to see how much is said here against old Israel.

v3--proves he is speaking of his people.

v4--they were laden with sins and iniquities, a seed of evildoers, they were the ones who went away BACKWARD.

v5--their whole ‘head’ was sick; and the whole heart ‘faint’. Now, what was their head? the law. Moses (not the man; that covenant)-- their heart was ‘faint’. what is this? Remember Isaiah said in another place, they that wait on the Lord will renew their strength (resurrection)-- and not be ‘faint’-- this means ‘spiritless or cowardly’. This whole nation was in this condition.

v6--shows it was in the whole nation from the ‘foot’ to the ‘head’ meaning from the smallest to their greatest leader.

v7---Your country is DESOLATE--- this is the one Jesus told, Your house is left unto you DESOLATE. So, we know this is Jerusalem or the law; they are synonymous. Your land, strangers devour it in your presence --- the strangers are the Christians--- this means they became the people of God in the very presence of those old Jews. ... it is DESOLATE, as overthrown by strangers--- this is powerful--- this is saying that the Christians are the ones who overthrew that law group and made them desolate.

The LAW if that abomination which maketh DESOLATE. This caused their desolation. When they brought that old LAW into the church, it made them DESOLATE, also

v10--Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of SODOM; ~~~~~~~~~ he is still speaking to Jerusalem~~~

now look at Rev. 11:8--And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the GREAT CITY, which spiritually is called SODOM AND EGYPT, where also our Lord was crucified.

Now, remember here, that this city where Jesus was crucified is called ‘THE GREAT CITY’. This will be important later. Now also notice that it is called a spiritual SODOM AND EGYPT.

So, don’t you see that when I refer to them as ‘Egypt’, this is true to the Word of God? When it said that they turned back in their heart to Egypt; this is the same thing the false church does today--- they turn in their heart back to Egypt which is the law or old Jerusalem.

v13--This is a powerful indictment against them: ...the new moons and SABBATHS, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

Here God declares that he hates their SABBATHS and their solemn meetings.

v14--Your new moons and your APPOINTED FEASTS my soul HATETH: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

Yet just look at how many (Christians?) boast of ‘keeping those old appointed Jewish feasts”? And God said he hated them way back then; how much more now?

v21--How is the faithful city become an HARLOT!~~~~~~~~~ now how much clearer would it need be for you to see that this Jerusalem which most people dote so much on, is actually the HARLOT City of mystery Babylon? I mean, how many HARLOT cities does the Word speak about? Just one.

This very clearly identifies Jerusalem (that law bunch) as that HARLOT, Babylon.

Now, go to Rev. 18:v5--Her sins and iniquities have reached heaven--- remember how Isaiah said she was full of sins and iniquities?

v6--Reward her even as she rewarded you, and DOUBLE unto her double according to HER WORKS: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

Now, why does this say to double this to her according to her works? Because, as I stated in my message on the two women, this harlot city from the OT--- merged into the Church in disguise, after they saw that God had cut that nation of. They became the HARLOT CHURCH.

So, they have played the double role of the HARLOT--- they became a harlot against God as a nation; they also became a harlot against God as a church. DOUBLE. DOUBLE WORKS.

Glory to God!! I Never saw this before. Thank you, Jesus.

Now, for more positive identification: compare v 7 with Isa. 47-- where she said~~I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

See, very same words. She thinks because she was the people of God in the OT; and she says she is the TRUE CHURCH TODAY -- therefore, she thinks she is the only one; and will never be forsaken of God; for remember, she always did think and say that God did not see her.

v10--They say of her--- Alas, alas that GREAT CITY BABYLON, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

Now, see that they call her that great city? That is the one Isaiah identified as Jerusalem!!

v11-15--- identifies her as the ‘merchant city’.

Remember that Jesus went into their temple and cast them out because of their MERCHANDIZING? That is when he told them, Your house is left DESOLATE.

v16-- again calls her THAT GREAT CITY. ~~~~~~~~~~Remember, that at the beginning of this message, I told you to remember this? This is why I said that. Scripture interprets Scripture; so this identifies Jerusalem as THAT GREAT CITY. It is BABYLON.

v20-- Rejoice over her, ye holy apostles and PROPHETS; for God hath avenged you on HER.

Now, I am going to positively PROVE to even the hardest-hearted person out there, that this is the city Jerusalem.

Why would God avenge the PROPHETS on this great city?

For the answer, go back to Matt. 23:v28 (Jesus’ own words)---Even so, ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and INIQUITY.

v29--Woe unto you, SCRIBES AND PHARISEES, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the PROPHETS, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

v30--and say, If we had been in the days of OUR FATHERS, we would not have been partakers with THEM IN THE BLOOD OF THE PROPHETS.

v31--Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves that ye are the CHILDREN of them which KILLED THE PROPHETS.

v32--Fill ye up then the measure of your FATHERS.

v33--Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

v34--Wherefore, behold, I send unto YOU prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall KILL AND CRUCIFY; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

v35--That upon you may come ALL THE RIGHTEOUS BLOOD shed upon the earth, from the blood of RIGHTEOUS ABEL unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

v36--Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon THIS GENERATION.

v37--- PROOF~~~~~~~ JERUSALEM, JERUSALEM, THOU THAT killest the prophets, and stonest them WHICH ARE SENT UNTO THEE, HOW OFTEN WOULD I HAVE GATHERED THY CHILDREN TOGETHER, EVEN AS A HEN GATHERETH HER CHICKENS UNDER HER WINGS, and ye would not!

V38--BEHOLD, YOUR HOUSE is left unto you DESOLATE.

Now, back to Rev.18:20--God hath avenged the holy apostles and PROPHETS upon this great city, mystery Babylon--- so who is it? It is most certainly JERUSALEM.

Why would he avenge them on anyone except the one who killed them? Would a just God do that? Avenge someone on the wrong person? I say NO!!!!!

If you say anyone other than Jerusalem killed them, you have to call Jesus a lie.

Now, did you notice that Jesus told them, behold I send unto you apostles and prophets? This was the NT ministers which Jesus sent out. They had already killed all the OT prophets; so now Jesus sends them NT apostles and prophets. He said they would kill and crucify all of them, too.

So this falls unto the whore church which killed millions of Christians. See, that the blood of all the righteous was shed in the mystery Babylon? Since Jesus identified Jerusalem or old Israel as the killers of the OT prophets; and he said they would kill all the NT ministers; this combines Jerusalem with the whore church which is guilty of killing millions and millions of righteous saints.

So this makes it undeniable that they are one and the same; they merged. It is the same old false Jerusalem hiding in disguise as a church. There is absolutely no doubt about this. It is solidly proven in the Word of God.

They think they are the only one; so they kill all the righteous. Cain was in this false Jerusalem; for he started all this killing of the righteous. Abel is mentioned in Matt. 23:35--- so this proves it. Jesus said in this verse that ALL THE RIGHTEOUS BLOOD EVER SHED WOULD BE REQUIRED OF JERUSALEM.

So, all the millions of martyrs ever killed had to have been killed by this great city, Jerusalem, the mystery Babylon.

Back to Rev. 18:19---.....for in one hour is she made DESOLATE.

Again identifying this one as the DESOLATE one--- Jesus called it Jerusalem.

v21--.....with violence shall that GREAT CITY BABYLON be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

v22--- (more identification that this great city is old Jerusalem)-~~~~~ the voice of harpers, and musicians, (they were noted for David’s musicians and singers); and trumpeters, ( exclusively noted to Israel in the Word); no craftsman ( they were noted for their great craftsmen)---shall be found no more at all in thee.

v23--the light of a candle shall shine no more in thee ( they were the one Jesus said had the lighted candles)--the voice of the bridegroom and bride shall be heard no more in thee ( John identified them as having the bridegroom (Jesus) there)~~~~~~~~ for thy MERCHANTS were the great men of the earth; ( see that they were the merchandizing city?) That is why the Catholic and other churches deal so much in this ‘merchandizing--- they are this great city - the ancient Israel in disguise. If not, then something is BAD wrong with all these Scriptures!!

For by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. So this proves it was this great city or nation of Israel or old Jerusalem or the old law which deceived the whole world. This makes them synonymous with Satan; for he is said to have deceived the whole world.

So this identifies Jerusalem as first man Adam; as Satan, as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for by them came the law by which is the knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20).

v24---And in her was found the blood of PROPHETS, AND OF SAINTS, and of ALL that were slain upon the earth.

Now, that is positive proof; for Jesus said they shed all this blood. Jesus said in Matt. 23 that Jerusalem and her people killed all the righteous. He said they shed all the blood of the righteous which was ever shed.

So, this makes Jerusalem and Babylon to be the very same one!!!

And since we know for a fact that the false church has shed the blood of millions of Christians who would not bow to their evil ways, we know that this has to be old Jerusalem in disguise. This is that old Law that killed all these people.

Come out of her my people.
