The Destruction of New York!

1And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

After these things (after Catholic Europe fell) I saw another angel come down from heaven (A plane come down from sky on 9-11-2001), having great power (jet fuel and speed; long-haired Hercules a.k.a. Samson); and the earth was lightened with his glory (bright explosion; sun under this constellation) (18:1). He cried mightily with a strong voice (al Jazerra TV; worldwide radio, TV, printing press, internet), saying, Babylon the great ("Great Satan") is fallen is fallen."

Why is New York called Babylon? Like ancient Babel, where each ethnic group spoke a different language (Gen. 11:7-9), so also 800 languages are spoken in New York city, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. Also its Jewish community of 200,000 is called "Babylon" 30 miles west of the World Trade Center on Long Island. This is the largest Jewish community outside of Israel. New York has a "Chinatown" and a "Little Italy" also. Also it had a "tower whose top may reach unto heaven" -- the World Trade Center towers -- to unify mankind.

Why is it fallen twice? Because Rome in 1870 was "the great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth" -- 17:18 and New York in 2001 is the "great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth." Why twice? Two towers fell. Two planes hit their target. Why twice? The 2nd Gulf War was started due to twin towers attack so Saddam Hussein's Babylon was fallen a second time). Etcetera. "And is become the home of demons (Drago, Serpens, Hydra, Cetus, Medusa, and a three-headed snake), and foul spirits, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird (Aquila & Lyra are American eagles with Sagitta the American arrow and the American stars and stripes of Lyra. [Vega is a white star.], Corvus and Cygnus; also Eridanus portrays ostriches [Arab] and in Libra is an owl. This is a good description of the United Nations as well as the New York prison system (Metropolitan Correctional Center). There are 2.5 million inmates in the U.S. prison system -- largest in the world. Furthermore, if a haunted house is the result of an innocent person being murdered in the house, then it is understandable that "ground zero" would now be haunted.) (18:2). People have seen "evil faces" and other images in the smoke.

Who is this glorious ANGEL? Astronomically the angel with "great power" is Hercules (SAMSON). This is Christ our Lord who has visited New York just as he visited Sodom anciently. Historically the angel is a Moslem Arab martyr flying a passenger airliner. Ironically, "Hercules in New York" was a 1969 fantasy adventure film, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, where "Hercules" came "down from heaven, having great power" etcetera. Once again the "devils" are Drago, Serpens, Hydra and Cetus. The "unclean and hateful" birds are Corvus, Aquila, Lyra and Cygnus. Also the Arab version of Eridanus portrays Ostriches and in Libra is an Owl. The ultimate fulfillment of the glorious angel is, "the LORD (who) shall ... destroy with the brightness of his coming" the Man of Sin (2 Th. 2:8). Just as the "mighty ANGEL" of the Reformation (Rev. 10:1) was identified as CHRIST, so there will be a second Reformation which will "restore all things" (Matt. 17:11) more POWERFULLY by pulling down the Roman Catholic Philistine Temple in the U.S. (as well as the Moslem mosque). CHRIST will be preached by Reformers who don't "deny the POWER (OBEDIENCE -- Tit. 1:16) thereof" (2 Tim. 3:5). During the Third World War (or Russian phase of the 7th vial on "Babylon" in Rev. 18), Anglo-Saxondom will more fully OBEY God by means of the "latter rain" Holy Spirit (Joel 2:28-32; 3:1-2; James 5:7; Zech.10) which God gives "to those who OBEY him" (Acts 5:32).

Verse 2 is a summary of the numerous Old Testament prophecies of the Medo-Persian conquest of the ancient Babylon and of her ally Edom (Jer. 50:38-39; 51:8). The same historic destruction of Babylon and Edom was foretold by Isaiah who also linked them anti-typically with the "Day of the Lord" (Isa. 13:19-22; 34:9-15; Isa. 47:1-9). The totality of the desolation is indicated by the description of the land as a desert in which only evil spirits and unclean birds would dwell. "Is fallen, is fallen" refers not only to 539 B.C. (Babylon) and 1870 A.D. (Rome) and the when two towers fell (New York) but also finally to the destruction of the entire United States. Verses 22 and 23 confirm the utter desolation of the United States by comparing it to the cessation of all civil and social life in ancient Babylon (Isa. 24:8) and ancient Tyre (Ez. 26:13) and ancient Judea during the seventy years captivity (Jer. 25:9-11). The eagle is an "unclean and hateful bird" representing the entire nation of the United States, not just the city of New York.

What would cause this kind of DESOLATION? NUCLEAR radiation and fall-out is likely. They "Stand afar off for fear of her (radiation) torment" (18:10). It comes suddenly. "In one hour is thy judgment come" (18:10). There is fire and smoke. In the case of New York it was jet airliners as a small foretaste of things to come. But if we are discussing the entire United States, it certainly must be nuclear war or an EMP weapon at least.

Just as "Babylon" typified Roman Catholic Europe historically, so Babylon today is also represented by the United States. All "Babylons" were or are military SUPERPOWERS (Jer. 50:23; 51:20; Isa. 14:4-6). The United States is a leader in violence, drug-abuse, pornography and greed -- where homosexuality and abortion are allowed in public but the Bible is not allowed in the classroom. Just as Rome's false Papal religion was offered to the world to DRINK, so America's Hollywood "entertainment" industry, rock music and permissiveness have been DRUNK worldwide. Even American Protestant churches are "a refuge of lies" (Isa. 28:17). Babylon is described as a lion with "EAGLE'S wings" (Dan. 7:4) and the SNAKE and the EAGLE have been symbols of both Roman Empire and the American Empire. Just as SEMIRAMIS invited the world's KINGS once a year to have ritual SEX with her on the New Year festival, and if they lived through the night, they were permitted to rule another year, so also the POPE invited KINGS to unite church and state in CONCORDATS with the Vatican and if they served her loyally they were not deposed. AMERICA also invites world LEADERS to visit "Lady Liberty" in New York for the U.N. If they are willing to follow corrupt American policies, they remain in power. Otherwise, they receive sanctions or are removed from power. Semiramis moved from Babylon to Rome to New York (Zech. 5:5-11). The LIBERTINE Semiramis became the goddess LIBERTAS worshipped at a temple on Aventine Hill in Rome, and later became the idolatrous "Statue of LIBERTY," facing east, standing in New York, inviting the world's multi-ethnic, multi-religious "wretched refuse" to integrate and intermarry and become "one" people (one race; one religion) just like at Babel (Gen. 11:6). The Italian Bertholdi was seeking a commission to construct a statue of the goddess Isis -- the Egyptian "queen of heaven" (Jer. 7:18; 44:16-19) -- to overlook the Suez Canal. Instead she was given to the U.S. The SEVEN spikes in her sunburst crown represent enlightenment of the sun god upon the seven continents and seven seas -- translated "seven hills." Staten Island even has seven hills. Isis or Ishtar was known in ancient Babylon as the "goddess of personal FREEDOM" and "mother of IMMIGRANTS." Instead of the ten commandments inscribed on her tablet, we find the date July 4, 1776 when she set men FREE from the laws of Britain-Israel's God. Her pedestal has TEN pyramid-like points plus one that is "stouter than his fellows" (Dan. 7:20). The statue has SEVEN concentric levels or floors in its foundation -- "SEVEN hills." The "golden CUP" is "full of abominations" just as the natural gas TORCH is smelly. It was painted gold in the 1980s. Just as God destroyed the tower of Babel, and used Moslems to destroy Constantinople, and barbarians to destroy Rome, so also He used Moslems to destroy the TWIN TOWERS. "Is fallen, is fallen" is stated twice. The World Trade Center was destroyed in "ONE HOUR" and the whole world has seen "the SMOKE of her BURNING" on TV. There is a predominantly Jewish community of over 200,000 actually called "BABYLON" about 30 miles west of the World Trade Center site on Long Island, where ships must pass to enter the harbor, but right next to the Twin Towers the area around the Stock Exchange is known as "Little BABYLON." God tells his people to escape (Jer. 51:45; Zech. 2:7). The World Bank, Wall Street, United Nations, and Lady Liberty all are in New York. Merchants mourn because nobody buys her products anymore after 9-11. "NEW YORK" actually adds up to 666 if A=6, B=12, C=18, etcetera. In a larger sense, the entire United States typifies Babylon because the statue of LIBERTAS, goddess of Rome, stands atop the U.S. Capitol building and MARS (Marduk) stands at its entrance. On the spring and fall equinox the main street of Washington D.C., Constitution Avenue, aligns to her home star SIRIUS. On June 21 the Washington Monument (Baal's PHALLUS) is in perfect alignment with the sun. The name of the sun god Utu's temple in Babylon was the "WHITE HOUSE." The Jefferson Memorial was modeled after the pagan Roman Pantheon and the Lincoln Memorial after the pagan Greek Parthenon. The significance of the United States typifying Babylon is that it will be overthrown "as Sodom and Gomorrah" (Isa. 13:19) and "be desolate forever" (Jer. 50:39-40; 51:62). Anciently when the Medes and Persians conquered Babylon, the city remained populated and barely a "shot" was "fired." It wasn't until 1400 A.D. that the water source ran out and the city was covered with sand and Jeremiah's prophecies were fulfilled. But a greater fulfillment awaits -- nuclear devastation from Medo-Persia (Russia-Iran) on a modern "Babylon." Just as the Israelites dwelt north of Babylon in MEDIA, so also the Israelites dwelt north of the Roman Empire in SCANDINAVIA-BRITAIN and the Israelites dwell north of the United States in CANADA. Mexicans believe the American southwest belongs to them and by 2050, 100 million immigrants will live there supported by the Catholic Church. They call it the "Reconquista." Just as Rome was symbolized by a DRAGON and an EAGLE, so is Mexico. The ten horns of this Mexican Catholic Union may be Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Moslems also have a desire to conquer the United States and so the Rockies and Mississippi could be a natural dividing line between these two camps. Amazingly, both the European Union and Estados Unidos have E.U. as their abbreviation. Both are called "United States" (of Europe or of America).

Does the United States really fit the description of "Babylon" in Scripture? (1.) She "sits on many waters" (Jer. 51:13) (from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico and from sea to shining sea)(2.) She is the "youngest of the nations" (Jer. 50:12) and makes her (Victorian; Puritan) mother ashamed with her "careless" attitudes (Isa. 47:8) (bikinis; gay parades; sin city Las Vegas; abortions). (3.) She is "the hammer of the whole earth" (Jer. 50:23) "that destroyest all the earth" (Jer. 51:25) so must have the strongest military in the world. (4.) She mounts "up to heaven" (Jer. 51:53) with a space program (NASA). (5.) She is "proud" (to be an American) (Jer. 50:31) and (6.) "abundant in treasures" (Jer. 51:13) or very wealthy to the point of going mad over her idols (Jer. 50:2,38; Hab. 2:18). (7.) She is the "praise of the whole earth" (Jer. 51:41) and (8.) "the Lady (Liberty) of kingdoms" (Isa. 47:5). (9.) She is "given to pleasures" (Isa. 47:8) (television; video games; sports) (10.) and her universities teach "perverted knowledge" (Isa. 47:10) called higher education (evolution taught; Bible forbidden). (11.) She is the center of world trade since "the nations shall not flow together anymore" to her when she is punished (Jer. 51:44) and since worldwide shipping was made profitable because of her (Rev. 18:19). (12.) She is ruled by "many counsels" (a democratic republic) (Isa. 47:13) and (13.) is "peeled" (timbered with open fields) (Isa. 18:2). (14.) Obesity is a problem. "Ye are grown fat like the heifer at grass" (Jer. 51:11). (15.) She has "labored from" her "youth" in the occult (Isa. 47:12,9) as we saw earlier regarding the buildings in Washington D.C. (above; many founding fathers were Freemasons). (15.) The United States is the largest importer of oil in the world (Rev. 18:13) (16.) She has "mingled people in the midst of her" (Jer. 50:37) who will "flee every one to his own land" (Jer. 50:16) when war comes. (America is a melting pot; a nation of immigrants; "E Pluribus Unum -- Out of many, One"). (17.) A nation "from a far country, from the end of heaven" (Isa. 13:5) and from the "north" (Medes -- 51:11,28) will "make her land desolate, and none shall dwell in it" (Jer. 50:3). None of their arrows (ballistic missiles) "shall return in vain" (Jer. 50:9). It will be "a desert" (50:12). "Let nothing of her be left" (50:26). "I will kindle a fire in his cities" (50:32) and "it shall be no more inhabited forever" (50:39). "Her cities are a desolation" (Jer. 51:43). This illustrates that "Babylon" is not merely one city (New York), but the entire United States that will be destroyed. "Though they dig into hell (underground military bases), there shall my hand take them; though they climb up to heaven (airplanes), from there will I bring them down ... and though they be hidden from my sight in the bottom of the sea (submarines), there will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them" (Amos 9:2-3).

3For 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. 4And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

All nations have experienced the consequences of American immorality: the pornography, the homosexuality, the unbiblical divorce, the interracial marriage, the abortion (Ez. 16:20), the idolatry (Jer. 2:20; 3:8-9), the false religion, Sunday, Easter, X-mas, Halloween, etcetera. Americans have proclaimed it in TV, radio, books, magazines and internet. Time-Warner, CBS, Viacom, McGraw-Hill and Virgin Media all publish, print or broadcast worldwide and all have HQ in NY. For all nations have become spiritually drunk (sinful) from the temple prostitute's (Virgo's) intoxicating love potion, and the kings of the earth (Cepheus and Coma) have committed fornication with her (worshipped idols -- Ez. 6:9 -- symbolized by the Statue of Liberty or Astarte. (Virgo [the Statue of Liberty] has dropped her hand holding up the golden torch! There is no fire in the torch!), and the merchants of the earth (global corporations) became rich through many imported products (Wall Street, The New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, World Bank, United Nations, World Council of Churches and Council on Foreign Relations all have HQ in N.Y.) (18:3). And I heard another voice from heaven (Aries -- the Lamb; the Bible; Canadian government? Christians?), saying, Come out of her, my people (Jews & Christians), that ye be not partakers of her sins, and ... her plagues (Anglo-Saxons fled Moslem & Catholic Europe for Britain in 7:4. Thus, Americans should flee Moslem & Catholic U.S. for British Columbia in our day because this Philistine Temple will be pulled down by "Samson") (18:4). Recall that Samson knocked down twin pillars holding up "about 3000" Philistines on the roof (Judges 16:27) in his blind suicide attack. The Moslems also knocked down twin towers holding up 2973 American victims in their "blind hatred" "blind religion" suicide attack. Notice Ophiuchus's tilted leg is two tall lines in a fireball.

Anciently sacred temple prostitutes committed fornication with their followers who contributed offerings to the Temple -- all under the pretense of worshipping God. These gaudily dressed harlots made their clients drunk physically and on false doctrines and idolatry and their clients gave them gifts. Hannah may have been referring to this practice when she said to Eli in the Temple, "I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink ... Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial" (1 Sam. 1:15-16). Belshazzar and his royal family drank wine poured into holy vessels stolen from God's Temple and toasted pagan gods (cp. Dan. 5:3-4). The United States gave Saudi Arabia guarantees of protection in exchange for their selling oil only in U.S. dollars -- called "petrodollars" -- in 1973. This monopoly created a demand for the dollar worldwide even though it has no intrinsic value and is not backed by anything physical. By 1975 all of the members of OPEC agreed to sell their oil only in US dollars. Every oil-importing nation in the world started saving their surplus US dollars so they could buy oil. This led to the reserve currency status of the U.S. dollar for all globally-traded commodities. Therefore, the value of the dollar was tied to the demand for the dollar. Massive demand for dollars ensued allowing the Federal Reserve to print more money and make the world "drunk" with fiat currency. Foreigners support our Federal Reserve in a rich lifestyle in the same way a prostitute is supported. Foreigners hold about 47 percent of US public debt. The largest foreign holder is China. Chinese investors are owed 9.8 percent of US debt. Next comes Japan, at 9.6 percent, and the United Kingdom, at 5.1 percent. Oil exporting nations as a group, including Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, etc., account for about 2.6 percent of US debt. Brazil has 1.8 percent. A strong US dollar allowed Americans to buy imported goods at a massive discount -- at the expense of the rest of the world. But the availability of cheap imports hit the US manufacturing industry hard, causing US manufacturing companies to close their businesses. Furthermore, when oil trade shifts to a different currency, countries around the world won't need all their US money. The resulting sell-off of US dollars will cause hyperinflation in the United States. Foreign imports will stop since there is no reason to trade good products for worthless paper. Food will increase in price causing riots and marshall law. Does the US go to war to protect us from "weapons of mass destruction," or to ensure the continuation of the petrodollar system? When Saddam Hussein sold Iraq's oil for food in euros, not dollars starting in November 2000, the U.S. invaded Iraq (March 2003). In February 2011 Dominique Strauss-Kahn, managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), called for a new world currency to challenge the dominance of the US dollar. Three months later a maid at the Sofitel New York Hotel alleged that Strauss-Kahn sexually assaulted her. Strauss-Kahn was forced out of his role at the IMF within weeks; he has since been cleared of any wrongdoing. Tensions with Iran in 2012. Is it because of efforts to develop nuclear weapons? Or because Tehran wants to trade oil for gold, without using petrodollars?

The U.S. has made the world drunk in other ways also besides fiat paper "petrodollars." (see below) This DRUNKENESS refers to ignorance and error in many areas of life. It is the "COVERING cast over all people, and the VEIL that is spread over all nations" (Isa. 25:7) of blindness (2 Cor. 3:14-16).

Flee out of the midst of Babylon ... be not cut off in her iniquity" (Jer. 51:6,45). "Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon" (Zech. 2:7; Micah 4:10). Physically and spiritually, in type and anti-type. Anciently the Jews had been in Babylonian captivity for a long time. Their restoration under Cyrus -- an "anointed" "shepherd" (Isa. 44:28; 45:1) -- a type of Christ -- was at hand as soon as Babylon was destroyed. "My people" refers to Israel (Ezekiel 38:16) or to anybody who obeys the Bible (Christians) (Lev. 26:12, Hos. 1:9-10; 2 Cor. 6:16-18). Jews fled from Babylon to Palestine. The Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Danes fled from the Roman Empire to Britain. Huguenots fled from France to Holland and Britain before the cups of wrath were poured out on France. Britain will come out of the E.E.C. "Common Market." Jews left New York after 9-11. Americans will flee from the U.S. to British Columbia or Australia. "U.S. of America" adds up to 666 using A=6, B=12, C=18, etc.

The "voice from heaven" (Rev. 18:4) may be "the coming of Elijah the prophet." God will raise up "Elijah the Prophet," and support him with signs and wonders to tell Anglo-Saxons the true Biblical doctrines and expose false Roman Catholic and Protestant doctrines (Isaiah 52:7-8; Isaiah 40:1-10; Malachi 3:1; 4:5-6). The seventh vial of Revelation 16:17, and its details in Revelation 18, terminates in the "great and terrible day" of God's wrath. Malachi 4:5-6 foretells that just before this same "terrible day," God will send to Israel "Elijah the prophet" to turn our hearts back to Him in obedience. Anciently God used Elijah to humiliate and destroy Jezebel's prophets of Baal and protect 7000 saints of God. Then he used William, Prince of Orange who defeated the followers of Catholicism ("Jezebel") that aimed to persecute Protestant Holland's seven Dutch provinces and Britain. God will again use "Elijah" to humiliate and destroy Roman Catholic as well as Protestant clergy. Therefore the "voice from heaven" (Rev. 18:4) may be "the coming of Elijah the prophet," and when the American "Babylon" is in smoking ruins from the Communists or "kings of the east", the voice of God's servants will be heralding forth the truth to the Anglo-Saxon nations. We will accept the doctrinal truths when "Elijah" comes to "restore all things" (Matt. 17:11) because miracles will prove that God is working through him. Thus when God's vengeance is being poured out on disobedient America, His mercy will be poured out on a Bible-obeying "little flock" (Ursa Minor) within Britain and Canada and Australia (Jer. 50:15, 28; 51:11). Notice the pattern. The annihilation of Edom and Babylon in Isaiah 34 is followed by the "ransomed of the Lord returning to Zion" in Isaiah 35. The desolation of Babylon in Isaiah 13 is followed by the mercy of the Lord on Israel and their land in Isaiah 14. While Babylon is falling in Isaiah 48:20, the Lord redeems his servant Jacob (48:20). When God has judged Tyre in Ezekiel 26, 27, and 28, He is sanctified in Israel who then knows Him as her Lord and God in Ezekiel 28:25-26.

During the seventh and last vial on the air, the plague of the Russian/Chinese "hail" or missiles, the Exodus of the true Christians from Roman Catholic civilization will occur. Then God will intervene and deliver his people from the Russian/Chinese yoke by the second coming of Christ, the "anointed Shepherd" -- anti-type of Cyrus.

5For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 6Reward 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. 7How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 8Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

For her sins have reached unto heaven (Her skyscrapers, Empire State Building, Lincoln Center, Rockefeller Center, World Trade Center, etcetera, are filled with sinful activities like the tower of Babel -- Gen. 11:4) ... (18:5). Reward her ... double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double (a half moon is a full cup held in her hand twice or two months worth; Twin Towers & two planes, not just one; all U.S., indicated by the plane into the Pentagon, not just New York. That's why chapter 18 repeats alot. -- Ex. 22:9) (18:6).... she saith in her heart, I sit a queen (Cassiopeia in Queens NY), and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow (18:7) (Only world superpower -- Isa. 47:5,8; best space program -- Jer. 51:53). Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death (2,973 victims died), and mourning, and famine (All constellations dressed in black. Famine hasn't happened yet. This is one reason why we believe another worse attack is coming leaving grocery store shelves bare.); and she shall be utterly burned with fire (everything covered in black ash; Nuclear missiles): for strong (Samson-like) is the Lord God who judgeth her (18:8).

Like ancient Babylon toasting pagan gods with Israel's Temple utensils while the Medo-Persian armies surround its wall (Isa. 47:1,6-9); like the Church of Rome practising pagan rites using Biblical names as the armies of France or Italy conquered the Papal States; so also disobedient America will refuse to repent of her unbiblical ways and practices as bombs rain down like "hail" from "kings of the east." Like ancient Babylon's tower that reached heaven (Gen. 11:4), so America's skyscrapers and "sins have reached unto heaven" (Rev.18:5). She repudiates any suggestion that 9-11 was a judgment of God. The Virgin daughter of Babylon (disobedient America) says, "I shall be a lady (Liberty) forever ... the lady (Liberty) of kingdoms ... I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children." She doesn't realize that Jesus Christ has rejected her and therefore she has lost her husband. Americans must emigrate from New York to some other city and reject the unbiblical lifestyle. Just as Protestant children broke away from the Catholic Church during the Reformation, so also there needs to be another Reformation in our day where true Christians break away from disobedient American lifestyles in order to obey the Bible. God says, "Desolation shall come upon thee (disobedient America) suddenly ... none shall save thee" (Isa. 47:7,5,11,15).

Why DOUBLE? "For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challenges to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay DOUBLE unto his neighbor" (Ex. 22:9).

9And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication (worshipped idols -- Ez. 6:9) and lived deliciously with her, shall ... lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning (Milky Way smoke of Twin Towers, Ara) (18:9), Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon (entire Zodiac represents New York; and then U.S.), that mighty city! for in one hour (or thirty days -- John 11:9) is thy judgment come (Just as the Tower of Babel fell, the World Trade Center also fell down in less than one hour: AA flight 11 crashed into North Tower 8:46 a.m.; UA flight 175 crashed into South Tower 9:03 a.m.; AA flight 77 into Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. -- all three in less than one hour. UA flight 93 crashed near Shanksville, PA at 10:03 a.m.; south tower collapsed 9:58 am and north tower collapsed 10:28 am -- "in one hour") (18:10). Remember that the entire Roman Empire was considered part of the "CITY" of Rome. The same is true for New York. By extension, "GREAT CITY" refers to the entire country. "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world." (Ps. 19:1-4)

Astronomically, the "smoke" is the Milky Way. Historically, Communist Russia's, China's, or even North Korea's "kings of the east" will annihilate the United States in World War Three. It will occur quickly and violently, like a heavy millstone cast into the sea. "One day" refers literally to "one day" or to one year (Num. 14:34; Ez. 4:6). "Make bright the arrows, gather the shields; the Eternal hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes, for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it, because it is the vengeance of the Eternal, the vengeance of his temple" (Jer. 51:11, 20-29) from where the golden cup was stolen and its holiness desecrated. The ten Latin-German nations of Europe made the religious Roman Catholic Church "desolate and naked." They ate "her flesh, and" burnt "her with fire." Violent anti-Catholic Revolutions have occurred throughout Europe such as occurred in Spain in 1936-1938. America's false religion will also be punished.

11And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: 12The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 13And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. 14And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

And the merchants of the earth shall weep ... over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more (Perhaps the United States first hyperinflates its currency till it is worthless and perhaps foreign imports stop since no reason to trade their good products for worthless paper. Then perhaps our electrical grid fails due to an Electro-Magnetic Pulse and then our cities are destroyed by nuclear missiles. (18:11): Gold, silver, precious stones, pearls (all typified by sun, moon or bright stars), fine linen (white clouds), purple, silk (Polo Ralph Lauren & Phillips-Van Heusen & Foot Locker all sell apparel and have HQ in NY), scarlet, thyine wood, vessels of ivory, vessels of wood, brass, iron (Alcoa sells metal and has HQ in NY), marble (Crater) (18:12), And cinnamon, odours, ointments, frankincense (Estee Lauder, Avon and Colgate-Palmolive all sell Household and Personal Products and have HQ in NY), wine, oil (US is world's top importer of oil. Hess sells Oil and has HQ in NY), fine flour, wheat (being poured out of Aquarius's bucket), beasts (Taurus; Leo; Capricorn; Ursa & Canis Major and Minor), sheep (Aries), horses (Pegasus; Sagittarius; Centaur), chariots (Auriga; Leo; Ursa Major and Ursa Minor; cars and trucks. Icahn Enterprises sells motor vehicles and parts and has HQ in NY), slaves (Andromeda & Pisces; employees), and souls of men (18:13). The grocery store shelves are empty -- "the fruits are departed." Even the hardware store is empty -- "departed from thee."

15The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! 17For 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, 18And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 19And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

To see a smoking city "afar off" is to see it on television. If there are twelve hours in a day (John 11:9) and a day is one year, "one hour" is 30 days. New York (and perhaps the United States) will be destroyed in 30 days. New York has priceless art treasures.

The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment (harmful dust; radiation fall-out), weeping and wailing (18:15), And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen (white), and purple (blue-red), and scarlet (red) , and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! (glittering stars) (18:16) For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all ... in ships (Argo is a ship; Phoenix and Perseus are boats; Orion and Ursa Major are canoes), and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off (18:17), And cried (star tear drops falling from their eyes) when they saw the smoke of her burning (Milky Way), saying, What city is like unto this great city! (18:18) And they cast dust on their heads (rotating stars on their heads), and cried ... saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! (A coastal port city) for in one hour is she made desolate (The twin towers foreshadow a greater destruction of Nuclear War "hail" on the U.S. -- 16:21) (18:19).

Astronomically, Argo the ship sees Cancer the great Cattlefold city or the entire Zodiac. Several other constellations have alternate boat imagery. Orion and Ursa Major are both Canoes and Perseus is a celestial boat all watching Cancer burn or the entire Zodiac burn. Revelation 18:13-19 is quoted directly from the prophecies in Ezekiel 26: 27; and 28:27-36 of the fall of idolatrous Tyre fulfilled in 572 B.C. by Nebuchadnezzar.

Revelation 18 repeats the prophecy in Isaiah 21 and 34 of the annihilation of Edom, the ally of Babylon on the "great and terrible day of the Lord."

Although the Protestant nations gained the victory over the Latin-German nations in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, the Protestant Reformation has since been largely undone. Thousands of our churches and clergy are Roman Catholic. This is another reason why God says, "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues" (Rev. 18:4). We also read, "Wherefore come out from among them, And be ye separate, saith the Lord and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you" (2 Cor. 6:17) and "Depart ye, depart, go out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Eternal" (Isa. 52:11). Andromeda (Israel) is in spiritual chains. "Let my people go" (Ex.5:1) from idolatrous, unclean Gentile worship. The national deliverance of Christians in the United States will depend on our obedience to the command to "Come out of Babylon." Any church denomination having totalitarian principles of government and an enforced creed with suppression of human liberties, denial of freedom of conscience, and freedom of expression, is in Babylon no matter how "biblical" its beliefs are. Being "clothed in linen (white), purple (blue) and scarlet (red)" may be a reference to the star-spangled banner which indicates that we are talking about the entire United States, not just the city of New York.

20Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. 21And 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.

Rejoice over her, thou heaven (Celestial North pole where "little flock" [lesser sheepfold of Little Dipper] dwells -- The Hesperides or "three little maids"), and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her (18:20). And a mighty angel took up ... a great millstone (Hercules a.k.a. Samson or Orion), and cast it into the sea (below horizon or outside ecliptic; a splash looks like an explosion), saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon (Philistine Roman Catholic & Islamic Temple U.S.A.) be thrown down (A missile looks like a mortar millstone), and shall be found no more at all (18:21). Dr Simon Day, who works at the Benfield Greig Hazards Research Centre, University College London, says that one flank of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the island of La Palma, in the Canaries, is unstable and could plunge into the ocean during the volcano's next eruption. Dr. Day claims that a Mega Tsunami from the Canary Islands will generate a wave that will be inconceivably catastrophic. He says: "It will surge across the Atlantic at 500 miles per hour in less than seven hours, engulfing the whole US east coast with a wave almost two hundred feet high""sweeping away everything in its path up to 20 miles inland. Boston would be hit first, followed by New York, then all the way down the coast to Miami, the Caribbean and Brazil." Millions would be killed, and as Dr. Day explains: "It's not a question of "if" Cumbre Vieja collapses, it's simply a question of "when". There were 44 kings of Israel and Judah (if we count Absalom) prior to its defeat and captivity and there have been 44 presidents of the United States (if we only count Grover Cleveland once) prior to its predicted destruction.

22And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee (Broadway Theaters, Radio City Music Hall); and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; 23And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee (St. Patrick's Cathedral): for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. 24And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Astronomically, Hercules is the "mighty angel" and his club is the pestle (used with a mortar) or "millstone" that he "casts into the sea" of the Milky Way. Historically "Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon (ch. 51) ... when thou hast finished reading this book ... thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates ... Thus shall Babylon sink" (Jer. 51:60-64) -- with a "splash-like" display (an explosion). If the Euphrates (cutting through Babylon) is symbolic of the Atlantic Ocean (cutting through Britain/America), then the stone tied to the book and thrown into the midst of the Euphrates is La Palma island, the Canaries, in the midst of the Atlantic. This is the "great millstone cast into the sea." This implies that a tsunami will engulf New York and Washington D.C. causing them to "sink" under water.

And ... no craftsman, of whatsoever craft ... shall be found any more in thee ... (18:22) (due to radiation fall-out or a tsunami) ... thy merchants were the great men of the earth (U.S. companies worldwide); for by thy sorceries (drugs -- "pharmakeia" #5331) were all nations deceived (in a literal sense: Pfizer pharmaceutical drugs and Bristol-Myers Squibb pharmaceutical drugs both have HQ in NY; Prescription pain and anxiety drugs are potent, highly addictive and especially dangerous when combined with one another or with other drugs or alcohol. Drugs as a cause of death in 2009, killed at least 37,485 people nationwide, (CDC). Among the most commonly abused are OxyContin, Vicodin, Xanax and Soma. One relative newcomer to the scene is Fentanyl, a painkiller that comes in the form of patches and lollipops and is 100 times more powerful than morphine. Also vaccines and genetically modified foods do serious harm and even kill; Philip Morris Int'l has HQ in NY and produces tobacco which is addictive and kills 400,000 Americans per year.) Other sinful deceptions, made to appear harmless, include: 568,903 gay and bisexual individuals in the N.Y. metropolitan area, the largest in the U.S. Same sex marriage became legal on July 24, 2011 in the State of New York. In 1995 there were 8,309 deaths from HIV (AIDS) in New York City. Even as late as 2009 there were still 1600 deaths from HIV in New York City alone. Also abortions (There are 1.6 million abortions per year in the U.S.); X-mas, Easter, Halloween, Bible forbidden in schools; fiat paper currency; evolution; etc.) (18:23). No music heard anymore (18:22) and no light bulb (18:23) both indicate an EMP weapon or nuclear devastation or tsunami. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth (persecution of Christians and Jews by Moslems has come to America. Likely much more will come in the near future. We believe persecution of Christians will begin in earnest in 2016 -- ten years before Christ returns.) (18:24).

It is estimated that between 400 and 500 Jews died in the attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11. The figure would have been even higher had it not been for the fact that many Orthodox Jews went to work an hour later because of the Selichot prayers recited in the days before the Jewish New Year. The number of Jews who died in the World Trade Center attacks is not known with any precision because the official New York City 'Missing Persons List' does not categorize victims by their religion or nationality. But the list of the names of the dead includes many Jewish names such as Adler, Aron, Berger, Bernstein, Cohen, Eichler, Eisenberg, Feinberg, Friedlander, Goldstein, Greenstein, Horwitz, Jablonski, Kestenbaum, Kirchbaum, Kleinberg, Levi, Levine, Mayer, Rosenberg, Rosenblum, Rosenthal, Sachs, Safronoff, Schwartz, Shulman, Shwartzstein, Silverstein, Solomon, Steinman, Temple, Weil, Weinberg, Weingard, Weinstein, Weiss, and Zukelman. They didn't get a conspiratorial cell-phone message warning them to stay home. By all appearances, the 9-11 hijackers were equal-opportunity murderers.

From chapter 17 till chapter 18 the sun moves 130 degrees, so from 1870 when Rome fell politically and religiously (ten-horned Cancer burns Virgo -- 17:16), till 2001 when New York fell economically from world dominance (earth brightened with glory of Hercules coming down from heaven -- 18:1), is 130 years. These two chapters go together just as Rome and New York are both aspects of Babylon. The time element from 18:1 when Hercules comes down or from the sun in Ophiuchus's foot (same thing) (19:17) till it arrives in Sagittarius's head (19:12) is 25 degrees or 25 years from 2001 (Rev. 18) to 2026 (Rev. 19) when our Messiah returns. We believe the U.S. will split in half with ten western states becoming Roman Catholic and the eastern U.S. becoming Moslem -- just as historically happened in Europe for 1260 years.

Just as the twin towers were destroyed on 9-11-2001, we believe it is a type of the entire U.S. being destroyed the next time around by a much more serious catastrophe. Then "Babylon" U.S. will be destroyed by Medes (Ukrainian Russia -- Deut. 28:49 & Jer. 5:15 "far" is Heb. "rachoq") and Persians ("upharsin" or Iran)," -- "kings of the east." The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done, is that which shall be done" (Eccl. 1:9). God says, "I change not" (Mal. 3:6). He is "the same yesterday, today and forever" (Heb. 13:8).
