Commercial Babylon

[Dennis1209]

Does anyone see how Commercial Babylon, detailed in Revelation chapter 18 is now rapidly forming? It's not governments ushering it in, but multi national and global business is the tool for enforcement. It's a long read but, I cherry picked a portion of my notes to condense it, with what is coming about right now. The mystery and pieces of the puzzle are now a mosaic. Here, this will help you stay awake 

This commercial Babylonian system is an “oligarchy” and is being organized as I type this. We now see the economic, political and religious Babylonian system of the days of Nimrod merging and forming. The stage has been set and it’s building to the literal Babylonian commercial system described in Revelation chapter 18. I believe the headquarters will be literally in Babylon, Iraq, it’s not symbolism. Why such an urgency to get Trump out of office [trumped up false charges], impeach him once and try to impeach him after his term expired and he was out of office? Because he is a nationalist and not a globalist, they don’t want a chance of him running again in 2024. He did not play ball with the elitists and New World Order crowd.

Revelation 18:3 (KJV) For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. The kings of the earth are the leaders [puppets] of the global nations; and the merchants of the earth are all these multi-national, international businesses and corporations [Nike, Ford, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Twitter, McDonald’s, Pepsi, Coke and hundreds of others]. The system is satanically inspired like it was in the days of Nimrod and Babylon. The rise of this Babylonian oligarchy in our time has formed, and the end result of this system is ahead. How did we get here, who are the players, and why are they playing the game?

Revelation chapter 17: refers to the first half of the Tribulation and details spiritual [religious] Babylon. Revelation chapter 18: is the 2nd half of the Tribulation and deals with commercial Babylon and its fall. Satan will be bound in the Pit for 1,000 years; The Demons will be bound and isolated in two places during the millennium; in Babylon and Edom. Smoke will continue to pour out of them both for 1,000 years, as a reminder to those who would rebel. It will be a dwelling place where the demons and every foul spirit is bound. Babylon is going to be literally rebuilt at the Tower of Babel in Iraq. It will become the commercial capitol of the world in the not so distant future. Everything is going to revert back to where it all started [history repeats itself, there’s nothing new under the sun].

The connection between those in charge [global governments] and global international business [merchants of the earth]: All nations have fornicated [cooperated - made deals with] this system (Rev. 18:3). If you push the systems morals, values and ethics of the Babylonian system; you can participate in this system, otherwise you’re shut out and going out of business. We presently see this in all the global trade deals [NAFTA, GATT and dozens of other global trade deals]. A system diametrically opposed to God’s laws; calling good evil and evil good; calling what’s right wrong, and what’s wrong right. Push my system and I will make you super wealthy, powerful and eliminate most of your competition [a joint venture between governments and international business - merchants of the earth]. Governments and big corporations pushing their values and ethics on the world, it’s a partnership. A government by the few, a small minority of the elite exercising control, corrupt and selfish gains; an oligarchy.

Corporate America has all of a sudden realized government is their best friend; and are pushing governments globalist, leftist, fascism agenda. Why all of a sudden, why do all these large corporations want government controlling them and inviting them into their business? They now want to be stakeholders in climate change, social justice orientation, racial reconciliation and social change, equality, save the whale, etc. Giving much of their profits to the causes of government and election campaigns [90% liberal]. They are not concerned or care about the 50% of their consumer base who oppose what they are doing and who and what they are supporting. How did government convince big corporations to give up some of its profits, that would put small and medium companies out of business, to support government causes? Government came in and told business how many females, transgenders, LBGT’s, gays and lesbians to quota hire, and on their boards of directors, without opposition. Even though they know they are not qualified and there are better people to hire. They know very well it’s going to harm their profits, how and why does that happen? They marginalize half of their consumer base and they don’t even care. Why are they willing to invite government in and lose money, supporting the governments causes all of a sudden, there has to be incentive and motive?

Does anyone think they care about women, LBGT, climate change, minorities, save the whales, etc., it’s always been about the money, and still is. No, they want to be a player in the global game and not get shut out. Are they worried about being green and Eco-friendly? Absolutely not, they simply want a place at the table, seeing the advent of the New World order arriving and what’s at stake. The Babylonian system has been ushered in. In order to be a part of this system, they have to make a deal with government, otherwise you’re put out of business. They have to push and enforce the systems values and ethics in order to benefit. Politicians are just puppets of the system and are bought and paid for; the real power and control are behind the scenes [princes and powers in high places]. The New World order will eliminate all the other small players who don’t want to play ball; resulting in a monopoly and less competition, putting your competitors out of business.

Never waste a good crisis: How many middle class small and medium business and jobs have collapsed, went bankrupt and been lost recently? Due to the mandatory Covid-19 business closures and restrictions, which were planned and intentional; eliminating tens of millions of jobs that will not return. It was intentional to eliminate competition and bring about the ‘great reset’ and the New World order. Big corporations have benefitted, now instead of using your local hardware store that is now out of business; you’re forced to buy at Amazon, Walmart, Lowe’s, Home Depot, etc. These are the players lining up for the Babylonian system, push our agenda and we will destroy your competition and make you a monopoly and super wealthy and powerful. Big business and the elite forming a partnership and alliance, that’s what we’re talking about.

We’re now witnessing global corporate fascism in Google; Facebook, Twitter; liberal media; education; and hundreds of other places and businesses. Conservatives, Christians and Second Amendment advocates in social media are now being ostracized, monitored, demonetized, suspended and banned without explanation. We now have a partnership between the global elites [United Nations, global banking and control, the rich and powerful] and big corporations. The great reset button is about to be pushed. This is called the “Babylonian Oligarchy”, government and international business and corporations tied and linked together. All of this will eventually filter down to the individual and personal level; if you want to buy, sell, get a mortgage or loan [a social credit score if you will]. Depending if you support the system or not, this is obvious where we are heading. All of this will lead up to the mark of the Beast.

They’re not even hiding it anymore, their intentions are public and in your face. All these facts are presented on the World Economic Forum Davos meeting website at http://weforum.org/focus/the-davos-agenda-2021. More than 150 global leaders including Amazon boss Jeff Bezos, and Ford motor company executive chairman Bill Ford; signed an open letter to President Joe Biden to pledge their support to the new administration’s goals to combat climate change [formally the unworkable global warming]. Why are all these corporations latching on to something so stupid and going to cost trillions of dollars in carbon emission taxes, and millions of jobs [to fight an issue that’s not an issue]? For one thing, it will support the United Nations, their agenda and an army for enforcement of anything they dictate.

The catch phrase now is “Build Back Better” [someone flunked grammar]. Big business will benefit from this deal, and small business and competition will be annihilated, the intent is to build a monopoly loyal to the One World Government. Here in America, they cannot get around our Constitution, so they will use a ‘backdoor’; big multinational and global business to enforce compliance on buying and selling, use of all media and services. I think about the soon to come cashless society and the population control that comes with it. I believe soon, banks will start restricting sales of guns and ammo, by not allowing you to use your debit card or credit card to make any transactions they deem restricted. Government is allowing and encouraging business to usher in the new world order. Credits ~ Pastor Brandon Holthaus, Rock Harbor Church.

Yep

But government are just the puppets of these huge corporations

 

And big business is hanging on the string of our enemy of old.

Yes, this commercial hub has to be centered somewhere. It's a universal fornication with an entity represented by a city. There isn't an existing city or even a country that fits the criteria in Rev 18. 

I think it poetic the end will come with Babylon reborn. It's where Daniel said it all began.

What we are witnessing is why God confused the tongues in Babel eons ago. When you have evil interconnected, because they have zero morals, they will use every illegal and dirty trick in the book to get ahead. Likewise, these people who have forsaken God, are used by these Demonic forces, mostly unwittingly, to bring to pass the Demons agenda, thus by confusing our languages, God made it harder for evil to spread and prosper. Now, in todays modern age, these world wide comunication abilities via interconnected networks (computers/internet/phones etc) have brought this one world utopian dream by these Demonic entities to fruition. They now hope against hope to unite mankind and defeat God, which is impossible they know it, so why are they doing it? Well, they are damned, so they have no hope but to try, and they want to show God that THEIR WAY was the right way, and thus if all the world loves evil over God then they can say, see they don't like you either. 

Its all interconnected, but that doesn't mean its not "GOVERNMENT" its just not the government of old. You see, Babylon was a city controlled by Satan, as was Persia (see Dan. 10 here Michael was resisted by a demon spirit fir 21 days) and Greece etc. But this is why I call Babylon and its fall as not meaning Babylon, but Satan's Rule over mankind, he is the ruler of Confusion, his rule over Mankind is Babylon the Great !! The more connected he can bring the world, the more he can push his agenda by using all the powers that be, both Gov. and monetary policies.

Its really pretty simple. 

The Harlot (False Religions) RIDES the [Government] Beasts back and Satan is leading the Parade, and God calls Satan's Kingdom on earth, Babylon (Confusion) the Great. Babylon will be judged, Satan will be locked in the pit for 1000 years.

Of course Satan will use Gov. AND money to his advantage, he's evil.

It's much too detailed to discuss right now but; Babylon (the beginning) never went away. Its been passed down through Medo-Persia; Greece; Rome and to this present day through the historic western leg of the Roman empire and establishment of the forth century church-state. I'm thinking that's part of the 'mystery'? We shall see maybe?

Sorry Dennis, but Rev. 17 and 18 are very precise and are about the city of Jerusalem. When the man of sin moves in, (Rev. 11:1-2) He will be a master at merchandizing and will make Jerusalem a very rich city, adored with all kinds of costly stuff. But Jerusalem will be attacked and burned.  Jesus will come just before she is completely overrun.

God called Jerusalem "Mystery Babylon" so he would say that it will be totally destroyed and will never rise again. At the same time, the physical city of Jerusalem will certainly be destroyed, but WILL rise again.  Imagine, the ENTIRE WORLD will be deceived by the Beast and False Prophet from the city of Jerusalem. No false religion has even come close to deceiving the entire world.

Good morning,

I can't be dogmatic on my eschatology, I don't have any special insight, just a student of the Bible with my own hermeneutics. It does seem to me this "Babylon" is divided into to distinct parts; spiritual Babylon and commercial Babylon; that will eventually merge, would you agree?

I don't think anyone is going to wake up one morning and find there's a new one world religion that suddenly popped up, it developed. If that's the case, and we're indeed living in the end-times, we should be seeing signs of a one world religion developing. Are we seeing those signs yet of a lamb speaking like a dragon; speaking blasphemies, someone preparing the way? 

Someone right now with an interfaith ecumenical movement, uniting the globes denominations under one umbrella, signing agreements with the Muslim's and protestor denominations. Saying, "we all worship the same god, called by different names in different cultures?" That if you're a good person, that's all it takes to get to heaven? Among many other blasphemous statements and defying their own centuries long belief's, doctrine and traditions? Preparing the way?

Saying, "we all worship the same god, called by different names in different cultures?" That if you're a good person, that's all it takes to get to heaven? Among many other blasphemous statements and defying their own centuries long belief's, doctrine and traditions? Preparing the way?

 

Many people imagine that "Mystery Babylon" is all false religions together or something like that. But what did John write? 

And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Then in another place he calls Jerusalem "the great city." I can assure you, the Antichrist Beast is not going to the Vatican! He is not going to the headquarters of Buddha, or Hindu, wherever that might be.  Jesus - the REAL Jesus - is coming back to Jerusalem, so that is where the Antichrist will go. After all, He will come in the place of the real Messiah. 

When will Jerusalem "reign" over the kings of the earth? Only while the Beast and False Prophet are ruling their Kingdom from Jerusalem.  Where will the new temple be? Of course, Jerusalem. What will happen to the millions and millions of Buddhists during the last half of the 70th week? They will succumb to the great deception and will all believe that the Beast is the real God of creation. The same will be for all Hindus. All false religions will disappear as they all take the mark and worship the image. As John wrote, all the world will be deceived - all except those who will be born again. I pray some Buddhists believe in Christ. I pray some Hindu's will turn to Christ. 

The commercial aspect as read in chapter 18 I believe is that the devil is the ultimate merchandiser, so the Beast he controls will also be. He is going to make Jerusalem one of the richest cities in the world with his merchandising. 

I think, if we all grew up in Israel, we would be more inclined to be thinking along these lines. Much of Revelation, from chapter 8 to chapter 16, is about the 70th week of Daniel - specifically for the JEWS and the other tribes. The church will be gone before Wrath comes, and the entire week will be wrath, in spite of what others may say. God will start the Day of His wrath before the 70th week, so the week will be inside the DAY.
