Religious Chiristendom's Massive Blood-Guilt!
Before I delve into this subject too deeply, it does well to learn what this Sea is, the Prophet Daniel and the Apostle John are telling us about in their end time Prophecies.
20 "But the wicked are like the tossing sea,
which cannot rest, whose waves cast up mire and mud."{Isaiah 57:20 NIV}
Daniel and John will be telling us about ruling World Powers that have arisen out of the Sea of restless Mankind. In that they are said to cast up, mire and mud, we couldn't expect anything too good to arise from them, and, as yet, after thousands of years nothing good has come out of anyone of them, up to this point in time, nor should we expect anything ever will. John will next explain the reason for that.
1"And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. 3One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished and followed the beast."{Revelation 13:1-3 NIV}
We see this Ten Horned Beast is given Power Throne and Great Authority by satan the devil, so absolutely nothing good could even be expected of these ruling Authorities. Only Mud and Mire! Things very unclean! As we read John's account of these ruling World Powers, we see John's account is in the reverse to Daniel's. The reason being, John is looking backwards in time, while Daniel, forward. None-the-less the are the exact same World Powers both are discussing. Looking now at Daniel's account, we read, as follows:
1 "In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he was lying on his bed. He wrote down the substance of his dream.
2 Daniel said: "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me were the four winds of heaven churning up the great sea. 3 Four great beasts, each different from the others, came up out of the sea.
4 "The first was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted from the ground so that it stood on two feet like a man, and the heart of a man was given to it.
5 "And there before me was a second beast, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, 'Get up and eat your fill of flesh!'
6 "After that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard. And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. This beast had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.
7 "After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns." {Daniel 7:1-7 NIV} We notice in Daniel's Vision, in his dream, the fourth and last World Power was quite different than all of the others, having as it does Ten Horns in association with it. That makes the difference. Daniel reveals these great Beasts are Four Kingdom's that will arise from the earth. The last one very Powerfull, terrifying, and frightening, because of uniting with these Ten Horns, pooling together their power, for one hour. {Revelation 17:12-14}
This will be the last one who goes off into destruction doing Battle with the Lamb. {Revelation 17:11}
"The four great beasts are four kingdoms that will rise from the earth."{Daniel 7:17NIV}
In order, Babylon represented the Lion! The Bear, Medo - Persia, the Leopard, Greece - The fourth and last one with theTen Horns, is, of course, what we have ruling at this time, which is Britton and America, represented by the two Feet of Daniels dream image. The Ten Toes would be the European, Asain, and African Nations, completing the entire Image of Daniel's Dream. {Daniel 2:31-35} {Daniel 2:38} Today, the Lion, Bear, Leopard, are represented by Iran, Iraq, and Syria/Lebanon - Not being a History Buff, I must rely on Worldly Scholars, for my information.
John next reveals something, that shows the reason, or at least one of them, perhaps the main one for the dirty appearance, the Prophet Isaiah described as 'mud and mire' being cast up by these wicked ruling authorities placed in position by satan the devil. Or rather by satan's dirty Woman, Babylon the Great; the Mother of all of his Children now residing on our earth today.
1"One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters. 2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries."
3Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 4The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. 5This title was written on her forehead:
MYSTERY
BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.
When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. 7Then the angel said to me: "Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns. 8The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet will come."{Revelation 17:1-8 NIV}
We notice, that right from the inception of this Scarlet Colored Beast this Woman John metions here, has been astride this Beast. The fact that it is mentioned as having Seven Heads, tells us she has been controling this Beast throughout all of the time period, it has been in existence. These seven heads, are a picture of all of the devil's ruling dynasties of Kings from Egypt right down until today. In control of the British American World Powers as well. Right down to the Ten Toes of Daniel's dream image. The European, Asian, African World Powers, included.
Something of great Interest John tells us about this Woman, is the following:
24 "In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints,
and of all who have been killed on the earth."{Revelation 18:24 NIV}
John reveals, this Woman is a Religious Woman, a murderer of Jehovah's Prophets and his Saints. So she's a Bloodguilty Religious Organization. As John will show us now how that comes to be:
6 "I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus." {Revelation 17:6 NIV} Because she's satan's Woman, she bears Children to the devil who are all murderous liars like their Father the devil.
Even worse, she's held accountable for all the righteous blood, spilled on earth, not only of Jehovah's righteous ones. Because they are all Liars, those who bear true Testomy to Jesus, are attacked at every opportunity, because they expose this Woman's Children for the liars that they are, and show them up to be what they are; Children of satan the devil. So, Jehovah's Faithful ones are hated by this Woman and her Children, as foretold they would be. {Genesis 3:15}
Jesus showed us all, how it was that it was a Religious Organization by these following words, spoken to those early persecuting Jews, in his time period:
33"You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? 34Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. 35 And so upon you [and your kind] will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar." {Matthew 23:33-35 NIV}
The death of Jesus, was a prime example of their murderous hatred, for the seed of the Heavenly Woman, because they murdered the principle, or main seed of the heavenly Woman. {Matthew 27:45-50} {Acts 3:14,15} {Galations 3:16} Those early Jews, could not stand to listen to the truth the Apostle Stephen was speaking, they covered their ears, gnashed their teeth, and rushed upon him with one accord to stone him to death. {Acts 7:54-60} {John 8:42-47}
Both Jesus and John said this Woman was responsible for all the righteous blood spilled on earth; so massive Blood-guilt lies on Religious Christendom. Jehovah will exact payment for all of that Blood spilling. Throw in the 100 Million Bodies laid in their graves during the two blood-spilling Wars of our Century since 1914- Add to that, the two Japanese Cities that were obliterated by Two Atom Bombs- Blood-Spilling on a scale Jehovah just cannot, and will not, just passively overlook- He will hold them all accountable for those slaughters supposedly in his name.
In size and scope this Religious Organization of satan's, represented by his Woman on the back of the Beast encompasses and permeates our entire World, misleading the entire inhabited earth, every Mainline Religion on this earth, are Children of this Woman who rides this Beast. As such, they are all Children of the devil, who seek to do the desires of their Father by carrying on their religious falsehoods, as their true Father would. Teachings such as the Trinity! The Immortal Soul! The Hell-Fire Doctrine! All presumptuously pushing ahead making high and lofty claims about self chosen appointments that do not belong to any of them. Choosing high sounding titles, such as Father, Holy Father, Most Holy Father, Reverend, right Reverend, his Eminence- All self honoring God-Like titles. Dressed in fancy garb that sets them apart from the laity, that demand worship of them, rather than Jehovah God. Even making claim to being of the Priesthood class, as the Mormon leaders do.
It matters little, what Religion on this earth now, you can mention, they are all part and parcel with "BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS." All are doomed to destruction when Jehovah turns the Beast and the Ten Horns against her to destroy her. This is an event Jehovah himself sets in motion when he puts it into the hearts of these ruling authorities to turn on her, like a pack of angry wolves, and rip her to pieces. Confiscating her great riches, completely burning her with fire. {Revelation 17:16,17;18:15-17} All in one day, John tells us: "Her plagues will come, death and mourning and famine, while she is being completely burned with fire." While everyone stands at a distance in fear of her torment, unable to assist her in any way. {Revelation 18:15-18} Satan's Woman is finally being executed. BABYLON is finally falling! {Revelation 18:20-24} Jehovah has finally called her to account!
The Prophet Jeremiah describes this fall of the empire of false Religion, in these following words: Note! It is World-Wide tumult!
Disaster spreading from Nation to Nation! A Mighty Storm!
31 "The tumult will resound to the ends of the earth, for the LORD will bring charges against the nations;
he will bring judgment on all mankind and put the wicked to the sword,' " declares the LORD.
32 This is what the LORD Almighty says:
"Look! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation;
a mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth."
33 At that time those slain by the LORD will be everywhere—from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered up or buried, but will be like refuse lying on the ground.
34 Weep and wail, you shepherds;
roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock.
For your time to be slaughtered has come; you will fall and be shattered like fine pottery.
35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee,
the leaders of the flock no place to escape." {Jeremiah 25:31-35 NIV}
The Shepherds of old Babylon, rolling in the dust! Being slaughtered. Nowhere for them to flee to. No place of escape. It's all over for Babylon the Great, and her followers.
How bad will this slaughter actually be? Zephaniah will inform us of that:
14 "The great Day of the LORD is near, near and rapidly approaching. Listen, the Day of the LORD—there the warrior's cry is bitter. 15 That day is a day of wrath,a day of trouble and distress, a day of destruction and desolation,
a day of darkness and gloom,a day of clouds and blackness, 16 a day of trumpet [blast] and battle cry against the fortified cities, and against the high corner towers. 17 I will bring distress on mankind,and they will walk like the blind because they have sinned against the LORD.Their blood will be poured out like dustand their flesh like dung. 18 Their silver and their goldwill not be able to rescue them on the day of the LORD's wrath.
The whole earth will be consumed by the fire of His jealousy. For He will make a complete, yes, a horrifying end of all the inhabitants of the earth." {Zephaniah 1:14-18 HCSB}
Every vestige of satan's Woman, BABYLON THE GREAT gone completely! Zephaniah has informed us she suffers a horrifying end, of everyone on this earth who has followed her. Apparently followed her right to her complete end. She falls! They all fall right along with her. Unless of course the obey the following command:
4 "Then I heard another voice from heaven: Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins, or receive any of her plagues. 5 For her sins are piled up to heaven,and God has remembered her crimes." {Revelation 18:4,5 HCSB}
If you're really one of God's People, should you not obey that command, and come out? Or would you rather have a sharing with her in her sins? You Choose! You're free to do that!
For the benefit of those who make claim to being either Athiest or Agnostic, whether they no it or not, thay are as much a part of BABYLON THE GREAT as anyone else, in that satan is the one who has caused these ones to form the opinions they have. So, the are as misled by him just as much so, or even more so, than those that claim belief in God; so their claim doesn't get them off the hook, so to speak. They'll get the same as BABYLON gets. No exceptions! Sorry! Wannabe
