The

Presents
Pamphlet 1902 Rev. kc 47-1
It
will not be "Jesus in Jerusalem" when the spurious messiah arrives.
It
will be "Satan in Babylon"!
In chapter 17 we learned
that the great whore who "sitteth upon many
waters (peoples of the world)",
was
is not a woman at all, but is in fact that Great City,
which will reign over
the kings of the earth,
the city where the beast,
Satan, sits atop the one world political and religious systems,
the
city in which the son of perdition sits in the temple and claims he is
Jesus Christ.
The
woman is that great city, Jerusalem, where
also our Lord was crucified.
Let's review the last
verse of chapter 17 so that no one
gets any brainy idea
to identify the woman as something other than that great city.
Rev.
17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that
great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
We also learned in
chapter 17 that this great city,
likened to a sleazy whore
who has been in bed with just about everyone,
has a special name on
her forehead.
That special name is MUSTERION,
the Greek word translated MYSTERY,
which
means "false religion" disguised as "true religion",
i.e. it is hidden from
being seen for what it really is.
It is really BABYLON which
we documented means CONFUSION.
And so we see and understand
why people are confused!
They
believe their religion, their church, is right and holy and pure and good!
They
cannot see that they have already been led astray from the TRUTH by the
traditions of men,
perpetuated
by Biblically illiterate pastors and ministers,
though
many are well meaning, who follow the doctrines of their church.
But they lead our people
astray from the God's Word and let them wander the hills of confusion!
Is something new?
Not a chance!
It's been going on since
ancient Babylon who "hath been a golden cup in the LORD'S hand,
that made all the earth
drunken:
the nations have drunken
of her wine;
therefore the nations
are mad (Jeremiah 51:7)."
In
order for us to more fully understand this chapter 18 of Revelation
we
all need to go back and read the 50th and 51st chapters of the Book of
Jeremiah.
It concerns Babylon and
it will read much like that which we shall read in Revelation 18
and it is relative to
TODAY!
The
apostle Paul taught us a principle that we must always remember as we study
God's Word.
And that is that the
history of the events that happened to our people occurred
and are recorded as
examples for us,
in these end times,
TODAY,
to LEARN from and SEE in detail the types set forth.
1 Cor.
10:11 Now all these things happened unto them
for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the
ends of the world are come.
The reason this needs
brought to our attention is that in this 18th chapter of Revelation
we are going to see the
judgment of the great city which is "Jerusalem",
but is named
"Secret Babylon" because it is Satan's worldwide headquarters of
the pagan,
false religious system
that deceives the whole world.
In other words, the world
will not call Jerusalem "Babylon".
The great city is not
going to be renamed!
You
must have the seal of God in your forehead, i.e. have an understanding
of God's Word, to know that it will not be "Jesus in Jerusalem" when the
spurious messiah arrives.
It
will be "Satan in Babylon".
Do you have "eyes" to
see that this is what we've been studying for 17 chapters?
Let me repeat that one
more time!
It
will not be "Jesus in Jerusalem" when the false christ arrives.
It
will be "Satan in Babylon"!
The false messiah comes
first but he will "Look Like the Lamb Slain",
"With Two Horns", i.e.
wielding both the power of King of kings and Lord of lords,
both the powers of the
one world political system
and
the worldwide religious system with him as Jesus who performs miracles
in the sight of men.
Do you remember chapter
13?
Rev. 13:11 "And I beheld
another beast coming up out of the earth;
and he had two horns
like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon."
The
"beast", the "dragon"!
Come
on, you know who that is!
We've seen it revealed
many times?
In the last chapter, Rev.
17:8, we were even told that the beast is the son of perdition.
What
does it take for a person to "see"?
Satan
is coming as Jesus Christ and the whole world will believe him!
It is that simple, but
the world doesn't see it.
The waters are confused
because they have sipped from the filthy,
muddy, golden cup of
Babylon.
And if they don't wake
up they/you will get to share the whore's name,
which is the same as
the beast's mark!
Why?
Because you'll be a little
HARLOT!
You'll
be worshipping Satan!
You remember the "Scarlet
Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne?
Well, you'll get
to wear (not literally, of course) the "Scarlet Number"
by Satan the Beast, which
is "666" !
So
our people are confused and led astray.
Whose fault is that,
other than their own for not studying His Word?
Have
you read Jeremiah 50 and 51 yet?
Jeremiah
50:6 My people hath been lost sheep: their
shepherds (read preachers)
have caused them to go astray, they have turned
them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they
have forgotten their restingplace.
How
are the shepherds who lead your church doing?
I'm sure they are nice
people.
Now,
with all that as background, and if you understand chapter 17,
then
you can read and understand chapter 18 all on your own!
It
is simply the judgment and fall of that great city.
Sure, there are a few
English words that don't quite bring forth the full meaning of the Greek,
which we will look up,
but even as it is written in the KJV you can read and understand this chapter.
In
Pamphlet #1903 we begin.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
