Babel or Babylon = "confusion (by mixing)"

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
(1 Corinthians 14:33)

We Live in a time when the church is full of confusion.... Babylon. All one has to do is read any Prophecy Forum out there, including this one. This Babel we are seeing is symptom of a greater malady in the church as a whole, which is a false approach to scripture using the carnal mind of man.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. (Romans 8:7-8)

Prophecy cannot be understood by the fleshly organ of the Mind, But must be revealed by the Spirit of Christ, the "Mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:16)

Without the Spirit and only relying on Human reason will always lead to understanding prophecy from a subjective interpretation of the text, and Peter is quick to tell us that "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation." (1 Peter 1:20) In Other words this is the very first principle we must eliminate if we are to understand Prophecy rightly. Then Peter follows this saying: "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (1 Peter 1:21) Here we see the crux of the Problem, The Will man interferes with the teaching of the Holy Ghost, and only the Holy Ghost can reveal the Intent of the Prophecy for He inspired those things.

The Holy Ghost cannot BEGIN to teach us until we reach the point of NOT Knowing, till we are so lost That we cry out to Him to teach us. It is not until we can pray with the Psalmist;

Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. (Psalm 25:3-4)

It is only then that the Holy Ghost can begin to teach you, and in the order Spoken of, first you must learn His ways, then His Paths, then you must be led in truth, and even then You must wait on Him to reveal the truth in His own time.

The Carnal mind of man can only lead to Babylon. A Mixture, and a compromise of the Truth. Man's religions built around the will of man will always lead to Babylon, and the harlot religion.

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. (Matthew 13:43)

(Jerusalem) Is The Whore, Mystery Babylon The Great Of Revelation Chapter 17

The Levitical High Priest & Dressing represents "The Woman", that is dressed in purple, scarlet, gold, and precious stones as seen below

(Revelation) 17:4KJV
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

Yes, The Levitical High Priest, Dressed In Purple, Scarlet, Gold, And Precious Stones

(Exodus) 28:15-20KJV
15 And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.
16 Foursquare it shall be being doubled; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span shall be the breadth thereof.
17 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be the first row.
18 And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
19 And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
20 And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.

(Jerusalem) is the seven hilled city, where the woman sits, not Rome as many falsely claim.

(Revelation) 17:9KJV
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

List of cities claimed to be built on seven hills - Wikipedia
Jerusalem, Israel: Jerusalem's seven hills are Mount Scopus, Mount Olivet and the Mount of Corruption (all three are peaks in a mountain ridge that lies east of the Old City), Mount Ophel, the original Mount Zion, the New Mount Zion and the hill on which the Antonia Fortress was built.

The Roman Empire didnt exist to be guilty of the Prophets blood seen below, Jerusalem did.

(Revelation) 18:24KJV
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

(Matthew) 23:29-37KJV
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

(Jerusalem) Is The Whore, Mystery Babylon The Great Of Revelation Chapter 17

All false religions are the whore and are part of Babylon.

This is how false religions start, By the will of man and private interpretation and then they form into cliques and certain people follow certain interpretations of things. Thus Human reason and the carnal mind perpetuates and maintains the Harlot system. Most Christians are victim to this Babylon system and though many are well meaning they are never able to rise above this carnal thinking in their Christian walk. This is why there is no true unity of the Spirit in the church, for men are tossed to and fro by the teachings of men rather than the truth of the Holy Ghost.

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. (Ephesians 4:13-16)

Take for example your interpretation here of Babylon being the Jerusalem. Now rationally that makes sense to you and you can defend it till you are blue in the face and another can come along and say Rome and the Roman church is Babylon, and they could give a compelling argument as to why and now you have two factions in the church both based on a partial truth and a partial lie. The Pride of man then keeps the two sides apart on the whole matter and whole truth is never arrived at thus perpetuating the confusion (Babel) and the system of division.

Very few actually will escape this cycle and see the fact that they are promoting Babylon themselves and are in fact part of the Harlot themselves when they are relying on their carnal mind to approach scripture and this is the big flaw the modern educated church is falling victim to emphasizing scholarship over Holy Spirit.

Babel or Babylon = "confusion (by mixing)"

When it comes to the topic of prophecy, no where is this more evident than on any of the myriad of Prophecy forums out there.

You have on one side the pretrib rapture camp and their adherents, You have the preterists and the Postmills and the amills, the Adventists, the zionists, the antisemites, EACH GROUP thinking they have it all figured out and they surround themselves with likeminded people and form a "church", a church of the partial truth for they have no fellowship with the whole body of Christ, instead they limit themselves to only their creed and mindset of their preSCRIBED position which is their own form of textualism and then they propagate their view in hopes of swaying others to follow them in their partial truth. Meanwhile they are ever learning but never able to arrive at the full truth of the topic. Oh They may come to some agreement amongst themselves in one matter But it is a unity of compromise sacrificing truth in order to get along with others in a false unity, and this will likely increase as we approach the end, In fact this is likely how the strong delusion will work in them for they would rather believe a lie than to honestly know the truth.

The Blessing of the Book of Revelation and studying it is that the Honest good hearted person will be brought to their knees by it studying it, for they will eventually realize that they do not understand it. It is when we reach this Point that the Holy Ghost can teach us when we realize our carnal mind cannot grasp the full scope of what is there and that we are inadequate to understand in our fleshly mind that he can begin to teach us and we can begin to see the fulness of what Christ has to offer us. Until then we will forever be bouncing between the opinions of men never arriving at the truth of the matter.

By the same token the more we resist the holy Ghost and think we can figure it all out the more we will go down the rabbit hole of Babylon and confusion. Many Scholars have literally lost their minds living in this form of Hubris and they surround themselves with yaysayers and allies in order to maintain their deception. They immediately condemn any who challenge them, Gang up on them and ignore their criticisms all together, thus quenching the Spirit completely.

This is not exclusively a "prophecy" problem, But it is most evident in Prophecy where there is more uncertainty. But this same mindset has led to divides such as Eternal security vs. Conditional security, Calvinism vs Arminianism, Grace vs. works, Ad infinitum.... Some here go so far as to say Unity is impossible, and that any unity will be a compromise on the truth.... the problem is they think they have all the truth themselves and do not understand that "we all know in part" And it is not until the fulness has come in that we shall fully know.... Until they can come see that they are lacking we will be living in Babylon and how can we sing the sweet songs of Zion by the rivers of Babylon?

Your complete post was as if you maintain absolute biblical truth, I disagree

Mystery Babylon The Great is simply Jerusalem, and the Woman represents the historical Levitical priesthood in Jerusalem

You miss the entire point of this post. This post is about the mindset that leads to harlotry in the church, Not a study of who the harlot is or is not. In fact that sort of argument is part of the harlotry that is taking root in the church, and in particular on Christian prophecy forums. In fact, your response illustrates perfectly the Point I am making. Most people cannot see the harlotry in their own teachings this is an attempt to show this by getting to the root of the assumptions that lead to harlotry, which is the Pride of man and their faith in their own intellect and reason. Point being it is Only The Holy Ghost that can teach the Truth, and even that we cannot be given all truth because of the corrupt nature of the carnal mind and until we can lay aside our pride we can receive our brethren in fellowship together (unity of the Spirit) the whole truth begins to form.

Think about it this way, Paul the apostle who was shown things in the third heaven and inspired by the Holy Ghost to write half of the cannon of the New testament said that he Only Knew in Part.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. (1 Corinthians 13:9-10)
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. (1 Corinthians 13:12)

What is 1 Corinthians 13th chapter Known as? The Chapter on love more specifically agape Love, Charity. It is this Love that is perfected in us that is to be completed in us (1 John 2:5) The attitude of a proud mind arguing is contrary to Agape being perfected in us, and prevents this from occurring. It is this childlike thinking that prevents Spiritual growth in the first place and leads to harlotry. Read when you have a chance the first three chapters of 1 Corinthians, especially the first 5 or so verses of chapter 3 as Paul places the mind of man its rightful place.

God Bless

@David H.
So then wherever confusion is, there is Babylon or Babel. Men have built many towers of Babel as they focus on establishing or proving the doctrines they already hold rather than allowing themselves to be led by the One is who is Not the author of confusion.

That is correct. The pride of Human intellect is what builds the towers, which opposes the teaching of the Holy Ghost and Spiritual maturation of the Believer to have God's Love perfected in us in fellowship with one another. In Other words we are our own worst enemy, and this part of our sinful nature prevents us from even seeing this harlot attitude at work in our lives. One cannot approach the Spiritual with the means of the carnal mind.

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? (1 Corinthians 3:1-3)

Most in the church see that there is a problem with division and denominationalism but they seek a unity of compromise, a unity of the Mind, A Unity that waters down the truth, and that is because they are thinking in carnal terms. They do not understand what true unity of the Spirit Looks like, rather than compromise it is about God's Love being perfected in us, It is about reaching Agape on Peter's list of things we add to our faith in 2 Peter 1:5-10 It is about the fulness of Christ As Per Ephesians 4:13-16, This is far above the rhetoric of ostracizing those who we disagree with. This is when those who fear the Lord Spoke to one another (Malachi 3:16) To Praise the name of Jesus, and hungered for more of Him and His presence. To have more of the Spirit is to Know more of Christ and have His presence. Jesus is the the truth personified, to Know more of Him is to come to Knowing Him in fulness, And this is when the "perfect will come" (1 Corinthians 13:10)

God Bless

Actually we CAN understand God's plans for our future.
The amazing thing is; He has given us, thru His prophets, all the information about what will happen. It is all in our Bibles.

The problem is that many have chosen to believe false teachings; the fables that Paul said would be promoted. 2 Timothy 4:3-4
So to them: God locks them into their delusions and it becomes practically impossible to change their minds. Isaiah 29:9-12

The forthcoming Day of the Lord's fiery wrath will be the test for everyone. Stand firm in your faith on that Day!

You compare (The Church) to Babylon and the Harlot, in disregard of Revelation Chapters 2 & 3

The bible gives a very clear teaching in Revelation Chapters 2 & 3 regarding the (7) church types, with the Philadelphian church being true

You appear to put "yourself" on a pedestal of truth in your writing, something I find to be the contrary

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

We ALL as sinners and fall horribly short of God in our understanding, actions, and thoughts. Rather than throwing stones at others, I personally strive to shine light and bring goodness to the situation.

Is it your calling? Are there no errors in your doctrine? Is your knowledge of God and things of God absolutely correct and complete? If you disagree with them then do not participate with them, but if I were you I would stay away from condemnation any time before you have overcome as Jesus overcame...

"He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:18

"Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." Matt 7:1-2

A person is saved by Christ, not by organizations. I’d recommend that time is best spent focusing on individuals and encouraging their relationship with Christ.

Babel or Babylon = "confusion (by mixing)"

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
(1 Corinthians 14:33)

We Live in a time when the church is full of confusion.... Babylon. All one has to do is read any Prophecy Forum out there, including this one. This Babel we are seeing is symptom of a greater malady in the church as a whole, which is a false approach to scripture using the carnal mind of man.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. (Romans 8:7-8)

Prophecy cannot be understood by the fleshly organ of the Mind, But must be revealed by the Spirit of Christ, the "Mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:16)

Without the Spirit and only relying on Human reason will always lead to understanding prophecy from a subjective interpretation of the text, and Peter is quick to tell us that "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation." (1 Peter 1:20) In Other words this is the very first principle we must eliminate if we are to understand Prophecy rightly. Then Peter follows this saying: "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (1 Peter 1:21) Here we see the crux of the Problem, The Will man interferes with the teaching of the Holy Ghost, and only the Holy Ghost can reveal the Intent of the Prophecy for He inspired those things.

The Holy Ghost cannot BEGIN to teach us until we reach the point of NOT Knowing, till we are so lost That we cry out to Him to teach us. It is not until we can pray with the Psalmist;

Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. (Psalm 25:3-4)

It is only then that the Holy Ghost can begin to teach you, and in the order Spoken of, first you must learn His ways, then His Paths, then you must be led in truth, and even then You must wait on Him to reveal the truth in His own time.

The Carnal mind of man can only lead to Babylon. A Mixture, and a compromise of the Truth. Man's religions built around the will of man will always lead to Babylon, and the harlot religion.

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. (Matthew 13:43)

Babylon is synonymous with sin, not confusion.

The Holy Spirit only leads us to truth as we study the scriptures to rightly divide the word.

I disagree that the only way to know is not know.
