Why did we erase the scripture that says, “the love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Tim 6:10)? The church has embraced the love of money! The number one thing that God is telling us is that He really, really hates a harlot that takes His place (Exodus 20:3).
If I had another woman somewhere, do you think Lori would be happy? How do you think God feels? Sin is anything that comes between us and God.
God made the ten horns want to carry out His purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power to rule, until what God has said comes about (vs. 17). The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth (vs. 18). This harlot, she rules over the kings, these ten people who are going to connect for a little while… not very long. They want her money – they want her power.
I believe the ‘head’ of money is located in New York City. I believe the base of the financial system of the world is the stock market – New York City. New York City is the financial capital of the world because the stock market is there.
What city has a building called “the United Nations”? United Nation’s headquarters in New York City!
Construction of that building began in 1948 which is very interesting because that’s when Israel became a nation. Is there any other city that represents the “world trade center”? God gives previews of coming attractions (ref: 911), they’re called ‘harbingers.’ In Revelation 18, the Bible says that in one hour the riches of the world will come to naught! The two tallest buildings in America came down in one hour – and we all almost repented! But then what happened? America has become even more wicked!
Revelation 17:18 says, “so the woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.” It’s not a city by itself, it’s not Rome, it’s not some isolated city, it’s a city that has power over the world.
Now we can understand why the ten evil rulers would want to take down the prostitute – because they want the money (the power)! They hate her – they hate America – they hate the stock market – but they want that money to do what they want to do!
Revelation 18:1,2 “After the vision of these things, I saw another angel coming down from heaven. This angel had great power, and his glory made the earth bright. He shouted in a powerful voice:
“Ruined, ruined is the great city of Babylon!”
Don’t tell me Mystery Babylon is over in Iran or Iraq (over in that part of the world). There’s not even a city there – it wouldn’t be a mystery if it was in Babylon. There’s no mystery that it is Babylon. This is Mystery Babylon! This one chapter describes what’s coming and what’s going to be destroyed. I believe it’s absolutely the financial systems of the world and it’s located in the headquarters of New York City where the stock market is – where the United Nations is – it’s the symbol of the great city of the world.
Revelation 18:2 – now we’re going to describe her: “She has become a home for demons and a prison for every evil spirit!” That city is a place where they abide! “…and a prison for every unclean bird and unclean beast.” A beast is a living being in the Bible. The unclean people, the unclean thoughts are like birds that fly in. Preachers used to preach how a bird can fly over your head, and even land, but don’t let it make a nest there! But, it’s the spirit of evil – unclean!
Yes! The closing moments will be rapids ones!
Rev 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. Rev 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
Thank you Jim!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Rev 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
Rev 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Are we rejoicing because we have crowned Jesus our King of Kings and Lord of Lords?
And may I be among those who have been “martyred,” for my belief, it is wrong to silence the prophets!
Thank You, Jim!
