    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    1 -2. Those who peddle Babylon's ideology (individuals and systems) 3. A literary device to tell you the ideology/ system permeates everything. 4. 'Religions' merchants (peddlers) get fat (metaphor) .....one example, look at the Vatican (that system) Fat on what? the bones of the people from...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    'The Battle' if we might name it that, is between the ideology of Satan and those under his persuasion and those who are aligned with God and his character. 'Babylon' is the metaphor used for the former and 'Jerusalem' for the later. It is an ideological battle spilling over into physical...

    Revelation 16:19 The great city was divided into 3 parts...

    David, do you have an unbroken connection between what you are saying and the Gospel Message? I ask because Revelation is the revealing of Jesus Christ. It tells us this at the outset of the book. The conflicts are to do with the ideology of Satan and the revealing of God in Jesus (the Gospel)...

    Revelation 16:19 The great city was divided into 3 parts...

    Understand the use of metaphor, understand the use of literary devices and one gets closer to the point Misunderstand these 'devices' and one can make apples out of pig poo....and spin off in any imagined direction one can conjure. Look at the pagan religions as an example. Every corner of the...

    No hey?....I would say you don't know how to identify her. ....further, if identification is not known then by default the mark on the head and hand is in place, even the right hand ....and will not be recognised. That's why many have it....particularly the religious. Why the 'religious' in...

    Revelation 16:19 The great city was divided into 3 parts...

    If the principle is not clearly understood, all the thrashing and bashing about the wrongness of this one or that one only becomes and ego trip under the banner of being honourable. Babylon is renowned for 'blame'

    including SDA .....but why zoom in on any particular group or individual if one hasn't got sorted out what presenting God well encompasses?

    Revelation 16:19 The great city was divided into 3 parts...

    Babylon is the metaphor for misrepresenting God while making out to represent God. Think about it! It embraces the whole religious world....buddhist, baptist, jew so to speak. Every religion claims overtly or covertly to represent God. Ultimately it amounts to a misrepresentation.....and God's...

    Revelation 16:19 The great city was divided into 3 parts...

    Babylon = misrepresentation of God. This misrepresentation is the big lie (s) it has surrounded itself with and seduced the whole world. Exposure will bring it undone. A system collapses when either it's adherents no longer support it and or, it is revealed as a fraud. The scripture uses...

    Earthquake decoded = a shaking and breaking. It is not geological. Evil will eventually collapse.

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life in you....Jesus. No decoding needed? Jesus blood cleanses from sin. No decoding needed? Ok, I'll leave it with you!

    Examples for our Instruction:

    You are the one doing the cobbling...not the scripture. Yet you use the scripture as if it approves your cobbling. You have tricked yourself.

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    It also refers to your body as a tent. (2 Peter 1:13-14) Does that now mean if I go looking for you, I look for a tent? C'mon, we need to decode appropriately! Didn't you say in another post you had all sorts of Bible qualifications? Goodness me, didn't they teach you about decoding? For...

    If God is real, then how did Noah’s Ark happen?

    The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and life more abundantly......Jesus God does not kill or destroy.....that is what the thief does. The thief has no honesty and attempts to paint God with his own attributes. The thief successfully persuades...

    If God is real, then how did Noah’s Ark happen?

    If God is real, then how did Noah’s Ark happen? Noah woke up one morning after a very unusual encounter that night, called his family together and said to his boys, I think we need a new project and I've got just the thing in mind. Ever heard of a boat? he asked. They kinda looked a bit glazed...
