What the Bible Says About Mystery Babylon The Great? http://thechristianmythbusterseries.com

Rev 10:7 however in the days of the voice of the 7th angel, when he is about to sound, then is completed the secret of God, according to the great tidings, which he stated to his servants the prophets. John the Revelator, influenced by Christ, tells us that the Great Whore is not just any whore, however is Jerusalem that fantastic city (Rev 11:8)! The NT does not care about the geographical area of old Babylon. It distinctly reveals the reference to Babylon as a viewpoint. Similar to when John is influenced to write Jerusalem as Sodom and Egypt. It is the belief the Jews revived with them from ancient Babylon and ended up being idolatrous by replacing what God had offered them with their oral customs that Jesus often tore on them for. Jesus continues in Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem (not Israel they were dispersed amongst the Gentiles and no longer a people, though part of them would repent in Judah), that eliminates the prophets, and stones them that are sent unto her! He forecasted her residence would be desolate-- in various other words, no more Residence of Judah (Jews) to have unique status with Yahweh God! The excellent city the holy place of God, the holy city, dead bodies will depend on the street of the great city which is allegorically called Sodom (covenantal and sexual unfaithfulness) and Egypt (bondage), where our Lord was crucified(Isa 1:4&10; & 10; Jer 23:1 et al). Jerusalem is also called a "Whore" or "Harlot" in a number of instances in the OT. The word "Whore" can likewise be equated as "Idolatress". "How is the devoted city become a harlot" (Isa 1:21 a), "... But thou hast played the harlot with numerous enthusiasts; yet return again to me, says Jehovah." (Jer 3:1 c, 2:20, Ezk 23 et al). Jerusalem the harlot, adulterous wife, previous spouse Yahweh's wife of harlotry, the land dedicates fantastic harlotry, they have left their God to play the harlot, we review throughout the OT. This just makes sense too, since only an individuals Yahweh God had been wed to can be described as "a Great Harlot (Rev 17:1) and "Mother of Harlots (Rev 17:5)." Even a people that stay in a most despicable way would not be referred to in this magnitude of unfaithfulness, unless they had actually defiled a relationship with God Himself e.g. Isa 54:5 a "For thy Maker is thy husband ...". Numerous prior to Israel had dedicated acts of adultery, fornication, adultery, etc. as we discover this in OT passages we have actually mentioned, however would not fit this description unless they had actually done the supreme abomination by breaking their covenant with God Himself and killing the Christ. The descriptions in vibrant "great and mother of harlots" singles Jerusalem out among all whores. It's likewise interesting that many expressions in the Bible are the exact same we utilize today, e.g. the mother of all wicked. In the coming passage in Jeremiah see the extra focus God puts on "your house of Judah's (Jews - 2 southern people)" unfaithfulness toward Him, in contrast to "your house of Israel (10 northern tribes non-Jews that were no longer around and no more a people of God Hos 1:9 et al)". Compare the following statement, to exactly how He reveals favor to "Israel 10 northern tribes", since God remained married to "Judah" and Judah had actually experienced "Israel's" punishment and still continued with her treacherous means of idolatry and whoredom:. And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel fully commited adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sibling Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot. 11 And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel has validated herself even more than treacherous Judah. Christ's Parousia, the First Resurrection, the Judgment [damage of the harlot Jerusalem olden Jer 3:1 -8 'Jeremiah effectively makes use of the word HARLOT when describing Jerusalem', Rev 18:7, 24 this harlot was she who eliminated the prophets as Jesus stated; likewise we have in Isa 1:21 How is the faithful city end up being a harlot! she that was complete of justice! righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.], her destruction and the inauguration of Christ's Kingdom were all concurrent occasions [Heb 8:13, 2Tm 4:1, Mt 16:27 -28], when one happened they all happened within close proximity. Moses [representative of the Law and old Mosaic marital relationship covenant] was never ever to get in the Promised Land [the New Covenant] This mixing of Law and Grace naturally goes totally against all Paul's teaching which that would stand for, the satisfaction of the shadow was on the sufficiency of grace alone apart from the Law, through faith in Christ [Gal 4:21 -31]

The Son of man was available in heavenly power to supplant Judaism by a much better covenant, and to make the kingdoms of the world His own, which parousia dates from the fall of Jerusalem and its holy place. The mourning of 'all the tribes of the land' (not all nations of the globe) was coincident with the desolation of Zion, that our Lord appropriately foretold it in language taken from Zech. xii, 11,12" (Biblical Hermeneutics, 446-447).

John the Revelator, influenced by Christ, informs us that the Great Whore is not just any whore, however is Jerusalem that great city (Rev 11:8)! Jesus continues in Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem (not Israel they were dispersed among the Gentiles and no longer a people, though part of them would repent in Judah), that gets rid of the prophets, and stones them that are sent out unto her! Jerusalem the harlot, adulterous spouse, former husband Yahweh's spouse of harlotry, the land dedicates great harlotry, they have left their God to play the harlot, we check out throughout the OT. The descriptions in bold "great and mother of harlots" singles Jerusalem out amongst all whores. In the coming passage in Jeremiah see the extra focus God puts on "the Residence of Judah's (Jews - 2 southern tribes)" adultery toward Him, as opposed to "the Home of Israel (10 northern tribes non-Jews that were no longer around and no longer a people of God Hos 1:9 et al)".
