Babylon?
How life began, three different
belief systems?
1.
Creationism
–
Genesis
1:1
– 1 In
the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And
the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon
the face of the waters.
Note: Here God is depicted as the one, only and
actual Creator. This text also list just what God is the
Creator of, the Universe. It gives the
state of the Universe before the creation.
Without form means that the Universe had no structure,
organization, and that it was indistinguishable as matter. Matter is anything that has weight and occupies
space. Void
means that there was nothing in existence, empty space, prior to the
creation. Empty space cannot have
weight, and therefore matter did not exist prior to creation. Darkness
means that there was no energy force in the Universe prior to creation. Energy – forces exerted between two or more objects.
These forces are what creates weight (the difference in density) and movements
in said objects.
Therefore,
before the Creation, there was no Universe, no Energy source, no objects, no
matter, and no existence, except God, a void, or state of nothingness.
2.
Gnosticism
– Deism
God is the
Cosmos. The cosmos in an energy source, and the emulator (spewing) of
all matter. As an energy source, the
Cosmos does not express or hold emotions to that which it emulates. It has no relationship with any emulation,
including the Demerge. The Cosmos
emulated the Demerge. The Demerge is the
fashioner of the Universe. It is the fashioner of matter, not the
creator of it. The difference is that
the Demerge makes changes to preexisting substrates, he does not cause to
exist, that which did not previously exist, this is the definition of
Creation.
The Demerge
fashions out of duty, he holds no claim or harbor any emotions for that which
he makes. Over time his interest falters
and he allows the substrates to fashion without order or intervention. (EVOLUTION)
3.
Paganism –
Chaos
– Believed to be an unformed mass/heap or a state of nothingness (the abyss), is
believed to have been the first thing to exist.
Chaos is understood to have given rise to the Primordial(s) Deities: (First Generation of Deities)
1. Gaia/Earth (the
personification of the earth, the goddess Mother Earth, ancestral mother of ALL
life),
2. Tartus
(an abyss beneath the earth, the underworld, a dungeon for the wicked, a place
where souls are judged – hell)
3. Eros/Cupid
– (god of sexual attraction, protector of
homosexual love)
Leviticus 18:22 – Law against same sex
4. Erebus – was the personification of darkness,
a god.
5. Nyx – is the Greek goddess or personification
of night.
Chaos was
not only a personified being, it was also a place deep and gloomy, where the Titans derived from and lived.
Titans – were the second generation of
divine beings, derived from the Primordial(s).
A. Two
main groups in this Generation
I.
Gaia (Earth) and her Children
a. Gaia
gives birth to Uranus (Father of Heaven or Sky)
without male involvement (Virgin Birth)
i.
Gaia has children with her son
Uranus – Incest
1. Have
12 Children (most important)
a.
Cronus
i.
Golden Age
–
ii.
Prophesy of Rebellion
b.
Rhea – Gives birth to the Olympian
Dieties
i.
Zeus – ruler of the gods
ii.
Hades – god of underworld
iii.
Poseidon – god of sea
iv.
Hastia –
v.
Hera
vi.
Demeter
2. The
Giants
3. Cyclopes
4. Erinyes
– Deities of Vengeance –
5. Mealie
– Nymphs
b. Gaia
gives birth to Ourea (Children of the Hills),
again a virgin birth
c. Gaia
gives birth to Pontus (god of the Sea), derived
from sea weed, again a virgin birth.
II.
Nyx and Erebus – Incest of
darkness and night
Rulers of the Titan –
A.
Gaia (Primordial) and Uranus
(husband and son of Gaia) served as the rulers of the Titans. Uranus did not like three of Gaia’s children,
and he imprisoned them in Tartarus, deep within the earth, this caused Gaia
much pain. Leviticus
18:7 – Incest Law children and
parents
Cronus’ Rebellion
–
A.
Gaia, grieved by the
enslavement of her children, created a sickle and asked her children to over
throw their father. Only Cronos, the
youngest and most ambitious was willing to do so. Cronos frees the enslaved children of Gaia
and overcomes his father/brother Uranus by
castrating him with Sickle given him by his mother Gaia. He is then enslaved in Tartarus. Later he returns the Children of Gaia back to
Tartarus.
Cronus’ Rule –
A.
Golden Age/Age of Aquarius–
this the time during Cronos’s rule where Laws, Rules and immorality did not
exist. People allegedly did what was
right.
B.
Cronus, upon seizing power,
returned Gaia’s children back to imprisonment at Tartarus. This enraged Gaia. A prophesy was made against Cronos that his son
would overthrow him, as he did to Uranus.
C.
Cronus took his sister Rhea to
wife (INCEST) and she bare him 12 Children.
Because of the fear of losing his rein, Cronos ingested his sons upon
their birth. When Rhea was about to give
birth to her youngest son, she hid him and gave birth to him at CRETE.
He remained hidden and was raised by his Grandmother, Gaia. (Remember)
Olympians – the third generation of
deities who were sired by the Titans.
Titan Wars –
A.
Zeus is trained by his
Grandmother, Gaia. She is still upset
with Cronos for re-enslaving her children.
She shows Zeus how to disguise himself to get close to Cronos. He disguises himself as Cronos’ cup bearer
and gives him a concoction that causes his father to regurgitate the children
that he has swallowed. This begins a
10-year war between the Olympians and the Titans.
B.
Zeus frees Gaia’s enslaved
Titan children, and they ally themselves with the Olympians against the
Cronos. The remaining Titans, except
two, ally with Cronos to suppress the growing rebellion. Themis and Prometheus ally themselves with
the Olympians. Themis – the Titaness of good
counsel. She is the Personification of
divine order, fairness, law, natural law,
and custom.
Since Law, Natural Law and Custom are all derived from the same
authority, Themis the goddess, they are all considered to be equivalent in
meaning. (Rome’s legal system is based on Themis) Prometheus – is a Titan who
is credited with creating man out of clay.
He is also known for being a trickster.
He is also credited for stealing fire from the Olympians and giving it
to man, which enabled progress and civilization. (REMEMBER Themis and Prometheus)
C.
Zeus (Sun God and depicted as
the BULL)–
King of the Olympian God’s. He conquers
the Titans and imprisons them. He then
takes the power and sets his thrown-on Mount Olympus.
a. Zeus
is a hedonistic-pleasure seeking god. (Sexual Immorality)
b. POLYGAMOUS
god, he has 3 wives, 1 titan (Themis), his sister Rhea, and anther. Leviticus 18:12 – Incest Law brother and sister.
c. Zeus
has unnatural sex with mortal women and sires children, known as demi-gods. (INTRA-SPECIES SEX–
Olympians and Mortals)
Age of Man – rebellious against the gods. Stop their prayers and worship of the gods in
an attempt to control them. Leviticus 18:23 –
Law against intra species sex, common sense.
Note:
This pagan belief system claims to be a Golden Age, where rules and laws
are believed to be irrelevant. It is
believed that entities will learn to do what is right, and comply with it, without
having a standard or knowledge between right and wrong. There version of morality is devoid of logic,
morality becomes infinite without a standard to define it. Therefore, all that one does is considered
moral, regardless of the consequences to another (hedonism). “Do what you will is the Whole of the Law” Allister Crowley (the
most wicked man in the world). “The ends
(pleasure) justify the means.” Jesuit Order (the most wicked group in the world).
Within this system, we find rebellion
between child and parent (Cronus & Uranus, Zeus & Cronus, man &
gods), we find mayhem (Cronus against Uranus), we find Unnatural Sex and Sexual
Immorality (incest, homosexuality, pedophilia, polygamy, cross species mating),
we find deception (Gaia against Cronus, Prometheus against Zeus)
We find an era where the ruling class
has no sense of order or morality, and yet those whom they rule are expected to
know and act in a non-defined moral manner.
It is a philosophy of confusion and repression.
Throughout the ages we find that the
enemies of God, Jehovah, have eventually met their fate. Elohim’s justice always prevails, and he
always keeps His children. In our bible
we find several passages where this is proven.
First, when the sons’ of Eli lost the
Arc of the Covenant to the Philistines.
1 Samuel 5:2, 4, 5– When the Philistines took the
ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon……
And
when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his
face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both
the palms were cut off upon the threshold (bottom of a doorway and entrance to
a room) ; only the stump of Dagon was left to him. Therefore neither the
priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon’s house, tread on the threshold
of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day.
Note:
The Philistines knew of the great power that the arc possessed, and they
tried to harness this power by uniting it with the perceived power of their god
Dagon. Jehovah rejected this union and
knocked Dagon’s statute from its base, breaking it into three parts. God then punished the Philistines with sores
for defiling the arc by attempting to mix the holy with the unholy.
Next, we find the story of
Jezebel. Jezebel was pagan princes from
Tyrus, who worshiped Baal. She married
Ahab, the king of Israel. She turned
Ahab and most of Israel away from the worship of Yahweh, to the worship of
Baal. She was known for killing the
prophets of Yahweh and became their sworn enemy. Eventually, after the LORD had given Ahab,
Jezebel and Israel a chance to repent, the actions of Elijah the prophet at
Mount Carmel, she refused to do so, and God pronounces His verdict and executes
His judgement.
2 Kings 9:10 –
And the dogs shall eat
Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door and fled.
2 Kings 9:33 & 35 –
And he (Jehu) said, Throw
her (Jezebel) down. So they threw her
down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and
he trode her under foot……..
And
they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the
feet, and the palms of her hands.
Note:
God gives Elijah the prophesy of Jezebel’s fate. It is then executed exactly as was
stated. We find that Jezebel was thrown
from the window, run over by horses, and eaten by dogs. Again we find the remnants of the enemies of
God are limited to three parts.
Lastly, in the book of Revelation we
find another enemy of Christ. This enemy
was defined as Babylon. But who or what
is Babylon? How does it affect the
course of time? What is the eventual
fate of Babylon?
Revelation 18:2 –
And he cried mightily with
a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become
the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of
every unclean and hateful bird.
Revelation 18:4 –
And I heard another voice
from heaven, saying, Come out of her (Babylon) my people, that ye be not
partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Note:
Babylon is described as a place and a system. One that harbors all that is unholy and contemptible to God. Babylon has fallen
by betraying the principals that used to unite it with God.
What makes up Babylon?
Revelation 16:13-14 –
And I saw three unclean
spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast,
and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth
unto the kings of the earth and of the whole earth, to gather them to the
battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Note:
Babylon is a unification of three parts, the dragon, the beast, false
prophets. As we have seen above, three
come together as an unholy trinity to destroy or alter the people and principals of
God. In this reference the dragon,
although biblically does define Satan, here stands for Paganism. The beast, the one who sits upon seven hills
is clearly defined as the Papacy or Gnosticism. The false prophet is not those who believe in
the Judeo-Christian form of Creationism, but rather those who have added or
taken away from the word of God, creating their own religion. We call this new religion, apostate
Protestantism, or those who returned to Rome. Revelation 22:18 & 19 – For
I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book,
if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that
are written in this book.
And
if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God
shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and
from the things which are written in this book.
What is the outcome for this third
enemy of the LORD?
Revelation 16:19 –
And the great city was divided into
three part, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before
God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Revelation 19:19,20 & 21 – And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and
their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse,
and against his army.
Note:
Here we see the persuasive power of Satan and his minions. He causes those who have the mark of the
beast, to make war against Jesus Christ.
Remember that our Savior is returning with all the hosts of Heaven,
billions of angels. Let us see the
destruction that a single angle did. Isaiah 37:36 – Then
the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote the camp of the Assyrians’ a
hundred and fourscore and five thousand (185,000): And when they arose early in
the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
Revelation 19:19&20 -And the beast was taken, and with him
the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them
that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his
image. These both were cast alive into a
lake of fire burning with brimstone.
And
the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which
proceeded out of his mouth: and all the
fowls were filled with their flesh.
Note:
These false belief systems, those which deceived the masses, and those
who perpetuated them will finally receive their just reward. The Lord will utterly destroy both belief
systems and their priests. God will
avenge, protect and save His children. Mathew 18:6 – But
whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better
for him that a millstone were handed about his neck, and that he were drowned
in the depth of the sea.
Revelation 20:10 –
And the Devil that
deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and
false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Note: Finally, the great deceiver is
separated from those he deceives, and they at once recognize their error in
believing in the deceiver. Unfortunately,
this will never transfer into a change in character, or in the hardness of
their hearts. Therefore, the lost are
not capable of true repentance, and not able to receive true forgiveness. Even so every being in the Universe will know
that God is Just, and God is Love. Philippians 2:10 – That
at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in
earth, and things under the earth.
What is the consequences for those
who do not succumb to the false teachings?
Revelation 21:1 & 3 –
And I saw a new heaven and
a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and
there was no more sea.
And
I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is
with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God
himself shall be with them, and be their God.
We will finally be united with our
Groom. We will have the eternal pleasure
of being with the ones, and the ONE we love.
We will finally know true happiness.
