Hi, it's Arnie the clown!
Folks we're living in the last days! Yyessiree
Arnie says that America may be the Mystery Babylon spoken of in the bible.
Arnie quoting the bible, "Though Babylon should ascend to the heavens, And though she should fortify her lofty stronghold, From Me destroyers will come to her, declares the Lord."
Arnie says, "The physical city of Babylon was originally built by Nimrod after the flood. It was located on the Euphrates River, about 55 miles south of where Baghdad, Iraq stands today. The name Babylon came from the Tower of Babel that was constructed there. Babylon became a large city of global prominence around 1728 BC during the reign of Hammurabi. The glory years of Babylon were achieved under Nebuchadnezzar II (604-562 BC). The city declined during the reign of Belshazzar, and came to ruin when Xerxes, the Persian king, destroyed it in 478 BC. Thus, Jeremiah’s prophesied destruction of Babylon was accomplished, and, just as the prophecy said, it has never been inhabited to this day. Saddam Hussein launched a project to rebuild Babylon in the late 1980’s, but the effort was halted by Gulf War I and has yet to be resumed."
Arnie asks, "If Babylon is never to be rebuilt, why are two entire chapters of the book of Revelation devoted to the destruction of Babylon? "
The Babylon described in Revelation is called “Mystery Babylon.” The prophecy of Mystery Babylon is found in Revelation 17:3-5.
Here's Arnie's favorite Mystery Babylon bible verse!
“So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
And then who is Mystery Babylon?
A mystery is something secret or hidden— a thing that some understand while others do not. In Revelation 17, there are several clues given to the identity of Mystery Babylon. We will discuss a couple of them here.
Clue #1. Mystery Babylon is a city
Notice in the above prophecy that a woman is used to symbolize Mystery Babylon. Verse 18 of the chapter tells us that the woman is a city. “And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.”
Clue #2. Mystery Babylon presides over a vast international system
In verse 1, we are told that the woman sits on many waters. Verse 15 explains the meaning of the waters. “And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.”
Not only is this woman a city, but the city is apparently the headquarters over a vast international system.
Arnie says that fits New York city or America.
Revelation 18 talks of a country the Bible calls “Babylon” that is destroyed by fire in “one hour” and plagued with “death, mourning and famine”. Revelation 18:8
Could this “Babylon” be the USA? Does it fit?
Revelation 18 describes the following about the Babylon mentioned:
1. It is a literal place, with lots of wealth and products to sell. Rev. 18:12-13
2. It is a wealthy country that even sells its money (gold & silver). Rev. 18:11-12
3. It is a country that deceives all other countries. Rev. 18:23
4. It spreads its sexual immorality to other countries. Rev. 18:3
5. It lives in luxury. Rev. 18:7
6. It helps others get rich. Rev. 18:19, Rev. 18:3
7. It is ‘married’ to another country. Rev. 18:7 Great Britian?
8. It is suddenly and utterly destroyed by fire. Rev. 18:8, Rev. 18:9-10, Rev. 18:17-18
9. It is responsible for many deaths. Rev. 18:24 Wars, and more wars
Arnie is concerned that the USA fits these prophesies.
It is a literal place with lots of wealth and products to sell. Rev. 18:12-13
Unlike the desert city of Babylon, Iraq, which hasn’t sold much of anything, the USA has been a major producer. Until recently, its products were sold all over the world.
It is a wealthy country that even sells its money. Rev. 18:11-12, Rev. 18:3
The USA’s paper “Dollar” has been the world’s currency since the end of World War 2. Global trade is mostly done in “dollars”. Until recently, countries have bought lots of “dollars”. China owns about a trillion of them.
It is a country that deceives all other countries. Rev. 18:23
One word: “Hollywood”.
It lives in luxury. Rev. 18:7
The USA has been a very wealthy country indeed!
It is now experiencing increasing poverty as criminal bankers foreclose on the planet.
It helps others get rich. Rev. 18:19, Rev. 18:3
Examples of this abound. One of the most obvious is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. King Abdullah’s oil fields were not developed by the Bedouin, but by Rockefeller’s Exxon Mobile and Rothschild’s Royal Dutch Shell.
It is a country that is tied to another country. Rev. 18:7
The USA is tied to England. 1776 was a family squabble. Just follow the money:
1. The world’s “dollar” monetary system is controlled by the New York Federal Reserve Bank.
2. The Federal Reserve is privately owned by global bankers with names like Rothschild, and others.
3. Rothschild also controls the Bank of England. (Bank of International Settlements, International Monetary Fund, World Bank, etc.)
The USA is, economically speaking, England’s “Queen”; and not a “widow”. Rev. 18:7
It is suddenly and utterly destroyed by fire. Rev. 18:8, Rev. 18:9-10, Rev. 18:17-18
It is a country responsible for many deaths. Rev. 18:24
Arnie the clown's favorite saying, "When your dreams turn to dust, it’s time to vacuum."
