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; sunrise under this constellation -- Nov. 24th) (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 (Rome in 1870), is fallen (New York in 2001 with its Jewish community of 200,000 called "Babylon" 30 miles west of the World Trade Center on Long Island; Two towers fell.), 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 arrow and the stars and stripes of Lyra. Vega is a white star.], Corvus and Cygnus; also Eridanus portrays ostriches [Arab] and in Libra is an owl) (18:2). For all nations have become spiritually drunk 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. She has dropped her hand holding up the golden torch!), and the merchants of the earth (global corporations) became rich through many imported products (The New York Stock Exchange, 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 (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 because this Philistine Temple will be pulled down by "Samson") (18:4). For her sins have reached unto heaven (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). Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death (2,973 victims died), and mourning, and famine (This is why everyone is dressed in black); 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). 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.) (18:10). And the merchants of the earth shall weep ... over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more (New York stops importing products from around the world) (18:11): Gold, silver, precious stones, pearls (all typified by bright stars), fine linen (white clouds), purple, silk, scarlet, thyine wood, vessels of ivory, vessels of wood, brass, iron, marble (Crater) (18:12), And cinnamon, odours, ointments, frankincense, wine, oil , 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), slaves (Andromeda & Pisces; employees), and souls of men (18:13).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 (not blue anymore), 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.) (18:19). Rejoice over her, thou heaven (Celestial North pole where "little flock" [lesser sheepfold of Little Dipper] dwells), 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), and cast it into the sea (Hydra's side of the Milky Way), saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon (Philistine Roman Catholic Temple U.S.A.) be thrown down (A missile looks like a mortar millstone), and shall be found no more at all (18:21). And ... no craftsman, of whatsoever craft ... shall be found any more in thee ... (18:22) (due to radiation fall-out) ... thy merchants were the great men of the earth (U.S. companies worldwide); for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived (abortion; homosexuality; genetically modified foods; X-mas, Easter, Halloween, Bible forbidden in schools; vaccines; fiat paper currency; evolution; etc.) (18:23). 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 Catholics and Moslems is coming to America) (18:24). 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.
The Destruction of New York!
"The woman Babylon "is the great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth" (17:18). Therefore, chapter 18 describes the destruction of New York. Babylon was briefly destroyed in Rev. 14:8 with the Protestant Reformation and sack of Rome; and then again in Rev. 16:19-21 as the judgment of the seventh vial of World War Two when Catholic nations were devastated. But Roman Catholic Europe will be completely destroyed by Russia (Rev. 18). The United States, of which New York is a type, will also be destroyed by "kings of the east" in the near future. All this represents "Babylon."
Who is this glorious ANGEL? Astronomically the angel with "great power" is Hercules (SAMSON). 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. Historically, Paul defines Him as "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 British Empire and U.S. 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), Protestant 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 to 539 B.C. and 1870 A.D. and the end-time when two towers fell and when the United States is the anti-type of just New York in microcosm. 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).
What would cause this kind of DESOLATION? In the case of the city of Rome, a volcanic eruption maybe. There are ancient craters in and around Rome which could become active again. VESUVIUS is now active. NUCLEAR radiation and fall-out is also 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. But if we are discussing the European or North American continent, it certainly must be nuclear war or an EMP weapon at least.
Just as Babylon typified Roman Catholic Europe historically, so Babylon is today also represented by the United States. All were or are military SUPERPOWERS (Jer. 50:23; 51:20; Isa. 14:4-6) and two REPUBLICS. 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. Babylon is described as a lion with "EAGLE'S wings" (Dan. 7:4) and the SNAKE and the EAGLE have been symbols of both Rome and the U.S. 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. She 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 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 allowed Moslems to destroy Constantinople, and barbarians to destroy Rome, so also the TWIN TOWERS were destroyed. "Is fallen, is fallen" is stated twice. The World Trade Center was destroyed in little over "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 of 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. Jeremiah's prophecies have never been fulfilled. They sound like nuclear devastation from Medo-Persia (Russia) 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 will be Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Oklahoma, Oregon and Washington with the Rockies and Mississippi being the dividing line from Moslems. Amazingly, both the European Union and Estados Unidos have E.U. as their abbreviation. Both are called "United States" (of Europe or of America).
"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" (Rev. 18:3).
Anciently sacred temple prostitutes committed fornication with their followers who contributed offerings to the Temple -- all under the pretense of worshipping God. This gaudily dressed harlot made her clients drunk on false doctrines and idolatry which she poured into holy vessels stolen from God's Temple (cp. Dan. 5:3-4) and her clients gave her 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). This spiritual DRUNKENESS 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). God's "feast of wines" in the kingdom (Isa. 25:6) will make people SOBER spiritually.
"And 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" (Rev. 18:4).
"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. Britain will come out of the E.E.C. "Common Market" since there is no "Common Market" under Communism. 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) is "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 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. Then he used William, Prince of Orange who defeated the followers of Catholicism that aimed to take control of Britain. God will again use "Elijah" to humiliate and destroy Roman Catholic clergy. Therefore the "voice from heaven" (Rev. 18:4) is "the coming of Elijah the prophet," and when the Roman "Babylon" and American "Babylon" are in smoking ruins from the Communists or "kings of the east", the voice of God's servant 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 his miracles will prove that God is working through him. Thus when God's vengeance is being poured out on the Roman Catholic Europe, and Roman Catholic America, His mercy will be poured out on Bible-obeying 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 aerial invasions, the Exodus of the Protestant nations from Roman Catholic civilization will occur led by "Elijah." Then God will intervene and deliver his people from the Russian/Chinese yoke by the second coming of Christ, the "anointed Shepherd."
"For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 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. How 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" (Rev. 18:5-7).
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 during the seventh vial refusing to repent of her claims to being the eternal spouse of her "Vicar-of-Christ" Pope while Russian armies invade Europe; so also Catholic America will refuse to repent of her unbiblical doctrines and practices as bombs rain down from Communist China. Like ancient Babylon's tower that reached heaven (Gen. 11:4), so medieval and modern Europe's and America's "sins have reached unto heaven" (Rev.18:5). She repudiates any suggestion that these are judgments of God. She is the persecutor of God's servants from Abel onwards, whose Cain-like civilization has always brought wars and bloodshed to God's people. The Catholic Church glorifies its buildings at the expense of the poverty-stricken communities that surround it. No wonder the Italian and Spanish peasants vote for Communism which teaches "Religion is the opiate of the people." The Virgin daughter of Babylon says, "I shall be a lady forever ... the lady of kingdoms ... I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children." She doesn't mourn over her lost husband, Jesus Christ, as the true church does. Her children broke away during the Protestant Reformation, and will be completely lost to her in the future. But God answers her and says, "Desolation shall come upon thee 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).
"Therefore 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. And 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" (Rev. 18:8-9).
Astronomically, the "smoke" is the Milky Way. Historically, Communist Russia's or China's "kings of the east" will annihilate the civil, commercial Roman Catholic Europe in World War Three. Catholic America will also be destroyed. It will occur quickly and violently, like a heavy millstone cast into the sea. "One day" refers 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. But the ten Latin-German nations of Europe make the religious Roman Catholic Church "desolate and naked." They will "eat her flesh, and burn her with fire." This suggests violent anti-Catholic Communist Revolutions throughout Europe such as occurred in Spain in 1936-1938. France, Italy, Portugal and Spain have the largest Communist parties today outside the Iron Curtain countries and are controlled by Socialism. This also suggests that Mexico will devastate the southwestern U.S.
"Standing 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 merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: The 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" (Rev. 18:10-12).
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. Rome and her empire will be destroyed in 30 days. Rome has priceless art treasures. The interior walls of St. Peter's are enriched with precious stones, offerings of devotees. The city is full of shrines at which similar offerings have been made. Catholics believe that costly gifts to the church of Rome purchase favor in heaven. That is why wealth is concentrated in Rome.
"And 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. And 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. The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, And 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! 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, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! And 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" (Rev. 18:13-19).
Astronomically, Argo the ship sees Cancer the great Cattlefold city. Several other constellations have alternate boat imagery. Orion and Ursa Major are both Canoes and Perseus is a celestial boat all watching Cancer burn. Historically, incense has a prominent place in Papal worship. When Rome charges a price to remove "souls of men" from purgatory, she is trading in "souls of men." Priests and monks are "merchants" who sell pardons for sin. Every sin can be committed by those who have the money to pay for the sin. If a nun enters a convent, she must give her money to the Church. Even her hair is cut off and sold. She is told she possesses nothing. But God gives us "without money and without price" (Isa. 55:1). 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. The anti-type is fulfilled in the Kings, Princes, Dukes, Counts and Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church, plus all who have gained a livlihood out of the Church of Rome -- the mainstay of the political, economic and social structure of European civilization and for that matter even United States' civilization.
Why aren't common people lamenting? They are fleeced and robbed by the Church. The common people will rob and spoil "Babylon's" treasures with Communism (Jer. 50:10,37). 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." When Christ returns, he will complete the destruction of Roman Catholic Europe and Roman Catholic America. All Jewish commentators in past centuries, as well as some Protestant commentators, say that prophetic "Edom" represents the Roman Empire. The territories of the Latin-German nations will become an uninhabited wilderness, devoid of all human life. Same for the United States.
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 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 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.
"Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. 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. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; 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; And 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: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth" (Rev. 18:20-24).
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). The Catholic Church's habit of placing candles before an image or picture of the Madonna at prayer-time believing that this useless practice would aid the ascent of their prayers may be described in verse 23. The European Papal Roman earth is the historic meaning of "earth" in verse 24, while the entire globe may be the meaning in the end time.
The power behind all European wars has been Rome. For instance the War of 1870 was a failed Jesuit attempt to overthrow Lutheran Prussia. The Boer War of 1901 was caused by agitation of two Irish Fenians sent by Jesuits to create discontent in Transvaal. Gladstone's surrender at Majuba Hill was a Jesuit betrayal. Before the First World War, the Pope told the Kaiser that "Germany must become the sword of the Catholic Church" to restore the Holy Roman Empire. Then Pope Pius X issued a "Concordat" against Serbia, namely a document stating that Serbia, a Greek Orthodox country, was henceforth politically and religiously under authority of Papal Rome. Austrian Archduke Ferdinand went to Rome and offered to use Austria to enforce this "Concordat" by war if necessary. That is why he was murdered in 1914. This murder was then used as a pretext to declare war on Serbia. During the war, the Vatican remained silent in not condemning proven German atrocities but blessed the Irish Easter uprising in Dublin, 1916. Furthermore, Vatican pacifist propaganda was responsible for the disastrous retreat of the Italian army at Caporetto in 1917. Thus the Pope was barred by Treaty of London from attending the Peace Conference in 1919 because of his conspiracy with defeated Germany and Austria. The 2nd World War was also a religious war. Papal Europe against Protestant Britain, the U.S. and European Jews. Jesuits for many centuries battled Judaism, Freemasonry and Protestantism because these are the three chief advocates of tolerance for other religions (than Catholicism) and they teach that other men have rights (not just Catholics). The ideas of the rights of man, of freedom of conscience, freedom of speech and freedom of press are heresies to Catholics. They think Papal Rome exclusively has all truth and all rights. But "where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty" (2 Cor. 3:17). Catholicism is not the true religion. Protestants and Jews believe that in an atmosphere of the free exchange of contradictory ideas, where there is no coercion or intimidation, the truth will prevail against lies (pp.3-11, Behind the Dictators by Lehmann).
The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion published in 1903 originated in France and date from the Dreyfus affair, instigated by Jesuits to overthrow the "Judaic-Masonic" French Republic and thus nullify the French Revolution of 1789. The Protocols were forgeries by Jesuits intended to instill hatred of Jews and Freemasons and discredit Protestant democracies. Once again the Jesuits followed their slogan: "Be suave (diplomatic) in manner, aggressive in act." They contributed greatly to Nazi-Fascist victories (pp. 12-19, 45 of ibid.).
The Pope wasn't neutral. Pope Pius XI congratulated Mussolini and distributed sacred amulets to the Italian troops going to Ethiopia in 1935. He sent Francisco Franco his blessing in the Spanish Civil War against democracy and liberty (falsely called Communism) and presented Franco's soldiers with victory medals in 1936. Why? Because the Spanish Republic, after discovering dead baby bodies buried under the convents, had dared abolish Catholic tax exemption for the vast domains of the Pope and had taken schools out of the hands of the Catholic Church and told the Jesuits to leave. German and Italian bombers retaliated against the Spanish Republic thereby supporting Franco. In 1942 the Pope welcomed the Japanese ambassador to the Vatican. In 1943 Pope Pius XII's New Year's message was anti-Communist, thus supporting the Axis against the Soviet Union (p.50, 96-97 of ibid.)
Hitler's Mein Kampf was written by Jesuit Father Staempfle. In it Hitler says he imbibed his hatred of Jews and Masonry from the Catholics (p.70). An ethnic Jew cannot even be admitted to the Jesuit Order. The Catholic crusades of the Middle Ages began with persecution of Jews. By accusing the Jews of inventing Communism, Hitler generated hatred for Jews while also fighting atheistic Communism -- both enemies of the Papacy. Actually Marx and Engels, who wrote the Communist Manifesto in the 1800s, were coached and directed by Jesuit priests who invented Communism to destroy Russia's royal family who protected the Orthodox Church -- another enemy of Rome. The Pope payed for this revolution in gold which passed through Germany into Russia in 1917 with Lenin. It was estimated to be worth 666 million dollars (Leon Trotsky by Carmichael, p.171; The Sealed Train by Pearson, p.290). Hitler approved of the indisputability of Catholic dogmas (p.293), of intolerant Catholic education (p.385), of the necessity of blind Catholic faith (p.417), of the infallibility of the Pope (p.507) and of required celibacy of the Catholic clergy (p.513). Hitler disapproved of Protestants protecting Jews (p.123) (Behind the Dictators by Lehmann, pp. 33-34). "Adolf Hitler, son of the Catholic Church, died while defending Christianity (Roman Catholicism) ... with the palm of the martyr, God gives Hitler the Laurels of Victory" -- General Franco, 3rd May, 1945. Hitler's name "Schicklgruber" actually adds up to 667: S=100, C=3, H=8, I=9, C=3, K=20, L=30, G=7, R=90, U=300, B=2, E=5, R=90.
Hitler and Mussolini adopted Nazi-Fascism to destroy the enemies of Pope Pius XI's Roman Catholicism. Cardinal Stepinac declared, "Adolf Hitler is the envoy of God." As soon as Mussolini came to power, he purged Italy of Communists. The Lateran Treaty occurred in 1929 revealing his hidden sponsor. This treaty gave the Catholic Church 750 million Lire in cash, one billion Lire in government stock, Vatican City, and the exclusive right to teach Italians. Pope Pius XI made a concordat with Hitler's Germany in 1933. Franz von Papen, a Papal Knight and Hitler's most successful henchman, declared in Der Volkischer Beobachter of January 14th 1934: "The Third Reich is the first world power which not only recognizes, but which puts into practice the high principles of the Papacy." Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, Doenitz, von Pappen and most of the highest officials in the Third Reich were Catholics by birth and education. The German Secret Service, or Gestapo, had been constituted by Heinrich Himmler, according to the principles of the Jesuit Order (The Psychopathic God Adolf Hitler by Waite, p.32). Hitler told his friends, "I can see Himmler as our Ignatius of Loyola." Many Roman Catholic priests wore the black Gestapo uniform and proceeded to persecute Jews and Protestants. Nazi attacks against Catholics were purges against liberal elements within the Church. Nothing more.
As Adolf Hitler said, "I reject that book ...It was written by a Protestant. It is not a party book ... as a Catholic I never feel comfortable in the evangelical church or its structures ... as for the Jews, I am just carrying on with the same policy which the Catholic Church has adopted for fifteen hundred years, when it has regarded the Jews as dangerous and pushed them into ghettos, etc., because it knew what the Jews were like. I don't put race above religion, but I do see the danger in the representatives of this race for church and state, and perhaps I am doing Christianity a great service" (The Nazi Persecution of the Churches by Conway, pp. 25-26, 162).
