Interesting topic.
For five decent people God promised Abram he would spare Sodom/Gomorrah...but as we know, only four were found which later ended up being just three.
Israel (ancient) = Sodom
GB = Israel
Israel = ungrateful group of psychos consistently rebelling against God (UGoP)
UGoP = people to whom Christ said, "your house is abandoned to you."
Now the GB also like to parallel themselves to Jerusalem (ancient) with their main house at Bethel. (for the poster who asked, I think the angels communicate with the GB by going up and down the elevator...I didn't see any ladders.)
ANyway, this means the GB = Jerusalem. So:
Jerusalem = the killer of prophets in who all the blood of the holy ones lie.
Babylon the Great = the harlot in whom all the blood of the prophets and holy people lies.
which in turn means:
GB = Jerusalem = Babylon the Great
GB = Babylon the Great.
Like Jerusalem and Babylon the Great ... the Kings if the Earth must come along and destroy the GB for its disgusting behaviour and dishonour to God.
Okay, I get it now...thanks You Know.
PS. I do recall someone saying "Get out of her my people...if you don't want to be a sharer in her sins, for her sins have amassed all the way up to heaven." Funny how this is mentioned time and time again relating to all the parties who parallel each other. Seems the same thing was said about Sodom and Gomorrah, if I recall correctly.
Sounds like good advice.
