While two years ago I recognized that a rebound was in store for the financial markets and economy, I had no idea the extent to which we could make believe all is well with Helicopter Ben's money printing press running at full throttle. Alas, in this age of Mammon worship, this was enough to lift the spirits of a people who have opted to follow the false god of money and material wealth rather than turn to their true God. But will the seeming good fortune last?The bottom line is that America has fallen into temptation and is being delivered into Evil. That this is not popularly recognized is par for the course for a spiritually fallen people who worship their own works rather than their Creator Who makes all work, life and well-being possible:
In this regard, I think it's important to put the United States into the context of Bible prophecy. As an American, I dislike this harsh truth and what it means for me, my loved ones and the great nation in which I was born. However, as a servant of God I need to convey what I know to be true and plead for honest repentance while there's still time for each individual who still has open eyes and hearing ears.
I believe America is the "Mother of Harlots" mentioned in Revelation 17-18 that is destroyed by fire in an hour's time by the prophetic "Beast":
Revelation 17
The Scarlet Woman and the Scarlet Beast
1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”
3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. 5 And on her forehead a name was written:MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.
The Meaning of the Woman and the Beast
7 But the angel said to me, “Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. 8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 “Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. 10 There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. 11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition.
12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. 14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”
15 Then he said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. 16 And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17 For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”
Now let's break down this chapter from Revelation.
America is a nation that sits on many waters and her unrepentant hedonism, materialism and sinfulness has been spread around the world bringing great wealth and pleasure to all those who trade (fornicate) with her.
2. The chapter continues: The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
This worldly power being described is very wealthy from its global trading (fornication), but what of the mystery of 'Babylon the great' and 'the mother of harlots'? I've long puzzled over this passage, but in recent months it dawned upon me what this likely means. A harlot is a prostitute. What do prostitutes do? They do anything, no matter how immoral and wrong, for money and pleasure. Is there a more apt description of modern America?
3. As to the 'Meaning of the Woman and the Beast', I believe this is all about the meaning of America and Russia.
First off, the beast "was, is not and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition" and those 'whose names are not written in the Book of Life will marvel when they see the beast'. I believe this beast is Russia, a power that was in the form of the Soviet Union, now is not with the feigned Soviet collapse and is now ascending out of the bottomless pit in the form of the the rise of the Antichrist.
Secondly, the seven kings over which the woman sits are the G7 nations of which five have fallen as world powers (Britian, Germany, France, Italy and Japan), one is (America) and one has not yet come and will do so only for a short time (Canada after America is destroyed?). As for the beast that was, and is not, being the eighth, I think this represents the G8 which includes Russia.
Third, the ten horns with ten kings that give their power and authority to the beast, this is consistent with the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) that will strategically be combined with Russia when global nuclear war comes, which is a one hour conflict for the most part.
The idea that these nations make war with the Lamb makes sense to me since I believe I'm the Lamb and I'm now living in America the target of the coming attack by the prophetic beast.
Fourth, this should speak for itself:
"The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”
America is the melting pot of 'peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues' including New York City/Wall Street which financially reigns over the kings of the earth. Russia and its allies hate "Capitalist" America and will 'burn her with fire' via thermonuclear attack.
As for the prophetic fall of Bablyon the whore, this is spelled out in next chapter:
Revelation 18
The Fall of Babylon the Great
1 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”
4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. 7 In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ 8 Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.
The World Mourns Babylon’s Fall
9 “The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, 10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’
11 “And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore: 12 merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; 13 and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men. 14 The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! 17 For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.’ Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like this great city?’
19 “They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.’
20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!”
Finality of Babylon’s Fall
21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore. 22 The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. 23 The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.”
Let's break this chapter down:
1. The initial allusion to America seems pretty clear: “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen....For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” World trade with the abundance of luxury in America has made the merchants of the world rich.
2. There follows a call by God to: "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues." Getting out of America before it's destroyed by a third world war is truly advisable.
3. America's "sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities." Thus, God will "render to her just as she rendered to (God), and repay her double according to her works." To the exent that America has "glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure (God will) give her torment and sorrow". That this will not be foreseen in America seems reflected by: "for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’"
4. A remarkable characteristic of an all-out attack by Russia on America is that, with modern missiles and weapons of mass destruction, total destruction will be unleashed in an hour's time. Hence, "her plagues will come in one day — death and mourning and famine, and she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her."
5. Needless to say, once America and the largest economy in the world is destroyed, “The kings of the earth who committed fornication (trade) and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon (NYC), that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come....For in one hour such great riches came to nothing."
6. In what seems to be a clear reference to world trade, we read: "Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like this great city?’ They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.’"
7. Regardless of what Americans would like to believe about themselves, apparently God is not that much of a fan of our ways given that this fiery destruction via Russia's nuclear attack leads to: “Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!”
8. As is likely, following a Russian nuclear attack, America will be gone forevermore: “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore. The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived."
So how close is America's outlook to what is expressed by the Book of Revelation above?
Rather appropriately given what's explained in my thesis, over the past two days the DJIA has risen to the psychologically important 12,000 level:
The outlandish optimism expressed by President Obama this evening is matched with a similarly insane outlook on Wall Street as shown by measures of investor confidence:
As I've been warning about in this blog and on the internet for many years, America and Western Civilization are literally certifiably insane:
The collective confidence and mass optimism prevailing is completely out of touch with historical reality. This is well represented by the Dow reaching 12,000 just as the key international flash points I've been warning about, i.e., the Middle East, Korea, etc., are on the verge of being ignited per Kremlin plan.
Since the strong delusion prevailing in this world could not be countered no matter what I've tried to communicate, tragically only reality will apparently make the difference, and this, I'm afraid, is the fate of the union.
I hope I'm wrong again, but somehow I don't think so this time around.
God have mercy...
