The City of Babylon.

Hi.

 

The great city Babylon is not a physical city.

The city Zion is not a physical city.

 

There are two cities;both spiritual.

One can dwell in babylon,by feeding on the spirit of the world.(come out of her).

Or one can dwell in the city of God(zion).

Feeding on the spirit of Christ.Walk in the spirit of Christ.

 

In babylon we have no peace but tribulation and confusion.

In  Zion we have peace,God fearing,and love.

 

The woman riding the beast in rev 17,is the wold system of things.

Trade business and the lot; based on greed and cheating,and manipulation.

And worshipping goods made by mans hands;all false religions included.

Never stop tempting with her delicacies and luxuries; leisures and lust for the material. 

 

The answer is in rev.18.

She is not just the rcc;because she is riding up on the seven heads;starting with the kingdom of Egypt,syria,Babylon,Medopersia,Greecia,Rome,and today the British empire.(the feet)(the 7th).

The eight is coming.(the ten toes; and is the last).Those kingdoms are also mentioned as the seven mountains and seven kings.(not seven hills).

 

The ten kings are going to eat her flesh and make her naked.Rev.17:16.

This is happening right now. The whole system is purposely being bankrupted,to make way for the new system. Things will get even worse for all.

@Salty

 

Talk about an epic meltdown.

 

I believe you brought it up locust question, i guess in an attempt to teach me what a metaphor was 

 

However since its important to you, yes its metaphoric...

 

Lets test your locust argument

 

 

 

Nah, I'm done here with that. But you can keep to it if you want, since your buddy Marilyn doesn't seem to dish out her special form of discipline to you for leaving the thread topic.

Inchrist,

I knew USA left a pretty nice complex when they moved out of Iraq, and if by some chance the AC does hang his shingles in Baghdad, that would be the place. No way does Babylon get rebuilt. Well, never say never, but I don't see it. (Who am I? I'm very important to my.......mother!)

Morning here Salty,

 

Thank you for sharing about the topic` locusts` re: the metaphor. I can understand what you are saying now. Again sorry you felt singled out. Let`s try & relate again.

[Marilyn C]

Hi Spock,

 

What a great picture. Yes I am a cuddly person. So cuddles all round.& a few extra for Salty.

 

About Bagdad, yes the A/C (before he is world leader) will probably make that city his headquarters for a while. However Babylon is the city that the world will flock to as it`s supposed to be the cradle of civilization. And people will want to look at the rebuilt ruins of king Neb`s city. The tourist ships will go right into that city. Just another thing to watch over the next few years. 

 

Thanks to you & inchrist for the pics.

 

PS Can you post some of the pictures of Babylon being rebuilt, please. They are on utube & the US army site.

Marilyn,

I wouldn't call this being rebuilt. I'm sure the abandoned USA Embassy will be better. Isn't it supposed to be near an ocean and not some small river pursuant to Rev 18?

[Marilyn C]

Hi Spock,

 

Yes I also wouldn`t call that rebuilt either. But those are not the pics I mean. Can you try again please?

 

Also did you read what I said about the river being widened for ocean going vessels - back further in this thread. (#61)
