Hard Passage - Ezekiel 37, the Dry Bones
Introduction – This is a hard chapter for most. Many have been taught to spiritualize this chapter. This generally means that Israel is the church and this applies to the church. Sometimes it is taught to apply to Israel but only in a spiritualized way. The basis for many of...
Bible Translations, Greek and Hebrew Study Works
King James Version – I prefer to use the KJV for an English bible. There are really two KJV, one was done in 1611 and the other was done in 1789 (approx.). The two are basically the same. The 1789 is the one that is way more common today. It...

Introduction - My point is to show you that there is more than one Babylon in the Bible. There are differences between ancient Babylon and the Babylon referred to as daughter of Babylon which looks dead on to be the America of today. It would be hard for this daughter of babylon to be anything other than the USA. Twelve years ago I never would have believed it. Of course hindsight is 20/20 vision but this is so close it defies the imagination to think it could be other than the USA. We will work around the bible using the KJV, citing the passages dealing with the daughter of Babylon I interpret to be the USA. If God called this Babylon America well then no one would have ever named the country America because it gets utterly destroyed and thus no one would live there and it would never come to be what it has become. I doubt the evil will ever receive this message.
Differentiation Points Once upon a time there was a man named Hislop. He wrote a book called Two Babylons. He thought the Catholic Church was the second Babylon versus the ancient Babylon. At the time of his writing the USA was a decent God fearing land compared to today and there was no Israel. The Babylon we are talking about, as well as the ancient Babylon were places, not religions and not systems, although they both had religions and systems, they were in reality physical geographic places. Hislop makes the Vatican out to be Babylon. The Vatican was never the Hammer of the Whole World like the USA was. The Vatican is just a city. It was never occupied by jewish folks let alone five or six million like the case is with the USA. The Vatican never had a lot of water or resources. The Vatican was never a large consumer of goods. The Vatican was never a financial center. When we read of the Mystery Babylon woman of revelation 17 & 18 we read in her was found the blood of the saints and martyrs. Please bear in mind that there were many martyrs way before the romish church was started. The Vatican just misses the mark by too much to be a candidate for the Daughter of Babylon. The Romish church was perhaps a tool that the whore of babylon used but it is not the daughter of babylon.
The best way to do this is for me to insert my comments under each bible verse or group of verses I wish to comment on. My comments will be preceded by the letter C and put in italics.
Some of you will like this and others won't. I am far from the only one spreading this message. Yes of course it is in the bible. It is flowing forth from Rabbis and Christians. Imagine that! That only has to tell you something. The Rabbis and Christians agree. It is hard to imagine this Daughter of Babylon is not the USA. There needs to be an Israel at the time with many jews not in it, instead residing in the daughter of Babylon. Of course this is not the vatican. The other references are just astounding. I am having trouble believing this is not the USA. The reason why the specifics are so clear is because there is a warning to get out of babylon. The warning actually appears in nine different bible verses. That is a lot of warnings. Thus God needs to make this babylon identifiable yet still a snare in the sense for the evil ones that they do not leave, and I believe he did just this.
I have no idea of the precise date. Prophecy let's us see things generally, the seasons, not the day, not the hour. I expect you will be hearing more about this a lot actually as the time gets shorter. The MSM has not gotten into this. Much of the alternative news folks on the internet are busy being anti Israel and anti-Semitic. They are in the snare. They greatly distort the perspective of what is happening. Now is the time to go to the bible. Get ready before it happens. Once it starts it will be most ugly. America as of 30 or 50 or more years ago is gone and will never return, my bible tells me so. Move on folks inAmerica and it is much easier said, than done. I know this. You should be viewing your true home as New Jerusalem. This whole earth is destined to be burned up some day in the future. The destruction of America is not the end of the world. The destruction is specifically for America. Babylon America will be gone very shortly never to be inhabited in again for all time. All that do not leave will be killed and it appears in most unpleasant ways. If you stay you are going to stay there and fight, be a prepper, survivalist etc you are kicking against the bible. Pointless really.
Some of you will be saying the rapture, the rapture. This event regarding the destruction of America is not the tribulation which seems to follow behind it. This was said during WWII. We know that Mussolini was not the anti-christ yet I have seen and held WWII vintage books arguing he was. War, even a big one, is most possible without it being the tribulation. For instance there is no Temple in Israel. No great falling away. No statue coming to life speaking. This destruction does not depict worldwide destruction. No forced conversions to the beast, taking the mark, etc. around the world at threat of death, no talk of a false prophet. This is specific to America only. And many other things we will cover at the end of this article for those of you interested. There is no pre-destruction of the daughter of babylon rapture specifically for Americans .
Jeremiah 50 – We will start here.
1The word that the LORD spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet. My comments are in italics to differentiate between the bible text and what I am saying.
C- The Chaldeans were a pagan bunch of people who resided in Ancient Babylon. They were a national group like Americans. Babylon was their capital city.They were heavily into idols, witchcraft, sorcery etc. Like the leaders of America.
2Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.
C -Here we see the ending at the onset of the passage. God wants this message broadcast and not kept secret. Babylon is taken. Bel and Merodach were idols in ancient Babylon. The images broken in pieces can be the images on the federal buildings that go when these buildings go down. The idols confounded is interesting. It means like ashamed because they could do nothing to stop the destruction. The USA runs on witchcraft, sorcery, curses, spells and idolatry. Guess what? It fails them miserably.
3For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
C- The prophets were Israelis. They referred to nations as being from the North if they were located North of Israel. This is of course the Arab trouble spots of today.
4In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.
C- So here the passage refers to the Children of Israel and Judah going and weeping seeking the Lord. Be advised there could be more jewish people in the USA than Israel at the time of this writing. So they are going and weeping. There is a tie between the destruction of Babylon (USA) and the return of the jewish people to the Lord and Israel. So this Babylon would need to have a most significant amount of jewish people and the USA passes this test easily. Okay, read on.
5They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.
C- They are headed where Zion This is Israel. They are at the point of entering into a perpetual covenant with God. So as of yet this has not yet transpired. There are probably about as many jewish people in the USA now as there are in Israel. God needs to move them home. How he does this is being depicted right here. This is not going to be popular but needs to be said. God says he will destroy all the nations he scattered the jews to and this is consistent with what we are studying since there are possibly more jews in the USA than anywhere else including Israel at the time of this writing, 12/2011. See scripture reference for this below.
Jer.30:11 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet I will not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
Jer. 46: 27, 28 - But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
28Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.
6My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds 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 resting place.
C- Forgotten their resting place Israel. He is about to whistle for them and call them home. Oh they will know his voice alright.
7All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.
C- There are many alleged pew warming Christians in the USA that practice what this very passage discusses. They forget the writers of the old and new testament were jews. They forget the apostles were jews. They forget that Jesus was jewish. This is probably why it is included in this passage. God states he is displeased with the extent of the hardships that were inflicted on the diaspora Jews in the nations they were dispersed to as part of their punishment. See Zech. 1:14-16
14So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
15And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
C- They loaded up the afflictions beyond what God had in mind.
16Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
and Is.47:5,6
5Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.
6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.
8Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.
C - The directive is to leave.
9 For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
C- Babylon shall be attacked by nations that derive from the North of Israel.
10And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the LORD.
C- This is the spoiling or plundering and pillaging.
11Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;
C- Destroyers of the heritage of God Israel and the Israelis.
12Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
C- The hindermost is another give away. It means the latest of nations. The USA. This is the future of America, the daughter of Babylon.
13Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
C- Will be deserted. Ancient Babylon never experienced this in fact Saddam Hussein was going to turn it into a sort of Disneyland. There is a tourist enterprise there now with construction, residents, etc.
14Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the LORD.
C- Sinned against the Lord. Well this should really not require an explanation. The passage speaks about what they did to the Jews and Israel most specifically but the sins are also abundant. Just to make the point let's use the ten commandments. This is a big insert.
#1 - I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
C- Well the USA has just about every false religion ever devised. The government coddles and protects every sort of religion including giving them tax breaks. There are all sorts of witches, satanists, false religions you name it and it is legally protected and allowed to thrive in the USA. They even reached the point of gay churches.
#2 - You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
C- We could start with the statue of liberty and go on to all the demon idols on the federal government buildings in Washington, D.C. We could also go through the nations money and postage stamps for more idolatry. Idolatry is widespread.
#3 You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
C- Did you hear we are no longer a Christian nation. The presidents are masons, satanists and say they are christians. God knows they are lying to deceive the real children of God.
#4 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
C- No explanation needed.
#5 Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
C- This is barely ever practiced or taught. If parents use the rod to not spoil the child they risk losing the kid and/or going to jail
#6 You shall not murder.
C- We had the wholesale killing of civilians in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iraq again and soon more. The USA is often dropping explosives on the heads of innocent men, women and children in countries that never attacked the USA or were able to pose any serious threat to the USA. Many millions of murders. Then we could get into abortions for perhaps another 50,000,000 murders of the unborn. This promotion of abortion and even use of government funds for the abortions is just a few decades old. Your tax dollars at work.Perhaps this is why God refers to those living in America as partakers of the sins of the Daughter of Babylon.
#7 You shall not commit adultery.
C-Why they have no fault divorce is to encourage adultery. Adultery is ok in eyes of the government. The easy abortions feeds adultery. Add in the pron sites, porn movies, explicit mainstream movies, playboy channel, etc.All feeding adultery.
#8 You Shall Not Steal
C- Ever read about the trillions missing in their budgets. Liars and thieves run the nation. They use the courts to steal from you. They rig the markets. Stealing is their middle name.
#9 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
C-The courts are full of false witnesses and liars. To get ahead in government one must be an accomplished liar. In the courts the laws are not followed.
#10 You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.”
C- This is why the court system is full of cases. What about coveting other countries oil?
Other Things Worthy Of Note in the USA
Gambling This gets people addicted in a sense and brings an end to families, savings, etc. The forex, futures, commodities, options, and stock markets are just another form of gambling. There are also numerous casinos Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Indian Reservations, Governments doing lotteries, horse racing, sports betting, etc. Then we get to online gaming. The USA are the kings of gambling.
Pornography The US is the world leader in porn. They process credit cards for porn. They produce it and export it. They have the most vile porn all under the protection of their laws. Most of the internet revenue comes from porn and gambling. The USA is the Porn King.
Violence The USA is the number one arms dealer in the world. There is a lot of violence in the USA.
Drugs The USA is the worlds largest consumer of street drugs. This leads to other crimes and violence. Look what drugs did to Mexico. They refuse to legalize drugs in that there is too much money in it. Instead they absorb the violence, cost of police courts and prisons.The USA poisons water, food etc to dumb the people down. They make prozac and the like freely available. They promote sex drugs like viagra to encourage immorality. Nothing they do brings anyone closer to God.
People Stealing Think victimless crimes leading to one going to jail where they become part of a forced labor force working for a pittance. This is different than slavery which is a lifelong bondage but incorrect in any event. For something to be a crime there needs to be a victim under the constitution.
Fraud, Embezzlement This is the federal reserve. It was created by the government and is still supported by them. It is a ponzi scheme designed to rob the people of their wealth. Unequal weights and measures the fed reserve gets money for nothing and pays no taxes.
Soft Currency This is in violation of the constitution. Garbage money.
The bible study continues below:
15Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
C- This is the vengeance of the Lord. Her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down. The defenses that America relies on are not there. She, America really has no walls, I expect this is the radar, missiles, anti-missiles etc. It is not there. EMP, sabotage who knows, point is it is not there operating. Most of us know that 9/11 was an insider job this might be an indicator of what to expect at the time of the end of Babylon (USA). An insider shuts down the defense mechanisms.
16Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
C- For fear they hit the road. They turn to his people, flee to his own land. The melting pot of course is the USA. Ancient Babylon was no melting pot of diverse people from different lands. This sure sounds like the USA.
17 Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
C- Israel in the diaspora which is in good part today still operative.
18Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
C- So how did the King of Assyria get punished. We read this in 2Kings 19 starting with vs. 29
29And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof.
30And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
31For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
Note: See the closeness, again both passages are depicting events regarding the Israelis escaping. Keep reading.
32Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.
33By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.
34For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
35And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
Note 185,000 dead, killed by an Angel of the Lord in one night.This is the way it will happen in America.
36So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
37And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
19And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead.
C- Now we read of the return to Israel of the Jews.
20In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.
C- Restored Israel. Note it says in those days.
21Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.
22A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
23How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
C- What other nation could be referred to as the hammer of the whole earth. Only the USA can reach out and touch any nation on any continent. Note America becomes a desolation. There are no survivalists left as we shall see. They need to understand this. The vatican cannot be the hammer of the whole earth. Does Russia or China pay any attention to the vatican? What about the muslim nations? See what I mean.
24I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD.
C- God laid a snare or set a trap for America the wicked. Many of you Americans despise the government of America and wish they did not have power of you. This is known to God, hence the ability for people to depart before the destruction of America. There is a warning cry to leave. Do not make an idol out of America. Some of you will realize these passages are eerily depicting USA. It is easy to find reasons to stay. Money, family, confusion about where to go, etc. If God is showing you to go, then he will make the way for you. His hand is not so short that he cannot provide for you after giving you marching orders. Have faith. He will lead by faith. Ps. 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
C- The scriptures are the word and thus it is the lamp to show your feet the way. Faith.
25The LORD hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord GOD of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.
C- Land of Chaldeans. Those that practice witchcraft, sorcery, curses, spells, idolatry, paganism, worshipping demons etc. This is the case with the heads of industry and government. America is like the Chaldeans. If God call the USA America or United States of America in the Bible they probably never would have used that name just like they never called the country Daughter of Babylon or Land of the Chaldeans. Remember the end of the USA is like a snare that God sets to catch the evil ones who do not abide by the bible. They really like their evil ways.
26Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
C- Destruction is total. Nothing left not even a bagel hole. No survivalist compounds remaining. No cities left. Utmost border is this Alaska, Canada, I am not sure.
27Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
C- The time of their visitation. This is a super duper bad thing for America. When the evil gets that bad the cries reach up to heaven, the blood in the earth cries out and a visitation is the result.
28The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.
C- They escape and tell the tale in Israel. Talking of the jews of which there are 5 or 6 million of in the USA.
29Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
30Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD.
C- All her men of war cut off in that day. It is a one day destruction, not a protracted battle. Recall what he did to the Assyrians, quoted a lines above.
31Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee.
32And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.
C- Kindle a fire in the cities. We can speculate all we want as to the method, all we need to know is there will be such a fire that will devour. Some will say oh it is a nuclear attack. God does not need the weapons of man. He destroys this Babylon like he did Sodom. Did he use a nuke on Sodom? He is God. Do not concern yourself with how he does things.
33Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
C- Perhaps this speaks of events not yet unfolded in the USA. Picture a muslim president and a muslim government in the USA that oppresses the jews, and refuses to let the jews leave and go to Israel. This was a common theme in the arab countries since 1948. Now we read of a new law they passed letting the government and military arrest and detain any American for whatever they deem to be appropriate for an unlimited amount of time without trial, court, lawyers, sentence, evidence, etc. The way they think goes like this. Oh we are the God ordained power here in the USA. So we just use corruption to get official laws passed and then God cannot do anything about it. Wrong. It is the constitution that empowers them and places stops on them. When they violate the constitution they are no longer a valid government. God also see what they do behind closed doors.Trapped in the snare. Let it be the snare of the evil ones, escape this snare while you can and the going is good and easy.
34Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.
36A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.
37A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.
C- Mingled people, again the melting pot. The old days Babylon was not comprised of mingled people. Again pointing at the USA.
38A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.
C- How much water does the USA have. Ancient babylon had no water. The USA has the Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf, Great lakes, numerous rivers, lakes etc. The USA has a disproportionately large amount of fresh water. Graven images. All their federal buildings have graven images. What is the statue of liberty but a graven image. Ever see a building with a gargoyle? Idols.
39Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
40As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
C- When God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah they burned up and were never lived in again by man. What did Sodom and Gomorrah do? Well the whole place wanted to rape the two angels visiting Lot. Homosexual offenses. Sound like America? Gay rights. Gay marriages. Gay significant other health care. Gays in the military. Notice many of the popular TV shows now portray gay couples overtly. They teach the youths about being gay in the schools. Sodom & Gomorrah. Now add in the practices of the Chaldeans. Then messing with the Apple of God's eye (Israel). The snare is set. The end is doom and gloom. Let this not be your end.
41Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
42They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
C- Cruel, no mercy. Could very likely be the muslims, the people from the North of Israel. What is Obama? Valerie Perlett his number one assistant is Iranian, muslim and speaks Persian. Hmmm. Bush did 9/11 maybe they will leave a back door open for the attack in the tradition of Bush.
43The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.
C- Democracies are not depicted in the bible so I guess the King is the president. Obama acts more like a king anyway. Pangs of a woman. Such fear will cause them to have cramps like a woman birthing. Some bad stuff. This may not be Obama could be a different president.
44Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
45Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
46At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.
C - Chapter numbers and verse numbers were basically inserted by the publishers keep reading.
1Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind;
C- How did they rise up against God. My gosh too many ways plus they deal badly with Israel.
2And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
C- The fanning is like those stripping the crops off of the plants and branches.
3Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his brigandine: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.
4Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
5For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
6Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.
C- God knows many do not like what is going on in the USA. God is not going to punish those that detest the practices of the chaldeans in the USA if they leave. But you do have to leave to escape being a partaker in the punishment of the Daughter of Babylon. The word says flee. If you stay you get cut off, but the cutting off will be ugly as we shall see. Don't be like Lot's wife who looked back because she was going to miss the place and was reluctant to leave. It is just a place and walk away from it. Remember in New Jerusalem the gates have the names of the 12 tribes of Israel on them and the 12 foundations of the walls have the name of the 12 Apostles on them (Rev. 21:12-14). This is another reminder to those who profess christianity and are harsh toward the jews and Israel. The walls and gates of New Jerusalem do not have the names of 12 past masonic presidents of the USA on them . Let's not lose perspective with the USA. A bunch of masons started it, so we are told anyway. There was slavery at it's onset. True it started out with a lot of nice features like the constitution and common law but it became corrupted and how was it for the slaves who were also christians?
7Babylon 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.
C- Golden cup. Great wealth, This was used to lead the other nations astray. This is the USA. They have used their garbage money and banking systems to control the nations. They have used commerce to control the nations by sucking them in to hold their debt (China and Russia). They have used their military to control the nations. The tentacles of the USA reach all over. They hooked in China with trade. The USA has messed up the banking and monetary systems of the world. I guess the plan is to show us how much better sharia law is. Well sharia law never worked yet.
8Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
C- It comes suddenly and it is a destruction. There is a thought of maybe she can be healed.
9We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
C- Forsake her. Go. The healing does not work. The healing could be things like alternative governments, militias, the occupy movement, jury nullification, constitutionalists, anonymous or perhaps spiritual repentance. People trying to get the government back on constitutional track, reboot the system if you will as a thought. It fails. There is no possibility of healing her the bible tells me so. The heads of the country are wicked to the core. The directive is to forsake her. Go to your own country, again the melting pot. Remedies are off the table although it has been tried and probably will continue to be tried. Fleeing out of her is the remedy that will get you good results.
10The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.
C- This judgment on Babylon (USA I assume) is not to be a secret but broadcast around.
11Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.
C- The Medes. Persia and referred to today as Iran you know where Obama's number one assistant is from. By trying to save America you are kicking against God's word. Never work.
12Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon.
13O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.
C- Dwellest upon many waters. Of course this can't be the Vatican. The Great Lakes along comprise 20% of the world's fresh water. Then we have Great Salt Lake, The mIssissippi River, The Ohio River, The Missouri River, The Colorado River, The Hudson River, The Potomac, The Rio Grande, the Columbia, etc and the nation is surrounded by Oceans. 97.5% of the worlds water is salt water, only 2.5% of it is fresh water and 2/3's of that is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. Twenty two of the states have ports or harbors. They have over 400 coastal or inland ports. There are 240 countries trading with the USA using these ports. Who trades with the Vatican? Revelation chapter 18 details a lot of these products traversing through the ports of the USA. The USA uses the water extensively for trade and commerce. Covetousness. This word should be painted on the white house, supreme court and in congress. This is America.
14The LORD of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.
C- The word for catepillars could perhaps better be translated as locusts which gives the passage more perspective. They swarm all over the place.
15He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.
16When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
17Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
18They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
19The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is his name.
C- God indicates the Israel nation and his plan for them.
20Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;
C- Babylon is the hammer of the whole earth. It does not say “My Hammer” meaning it is not God's hammer. Here the scripture refers to Israel as “my battle axe”.
21And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;
22With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
23 I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers.
24And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD.
C- Looks like the USA does more evil in Israel. The USA will never let Israel go to the next level and build the next temple. This needs to be corrected and God is doing this. Let us look at some of this. For decades now the USA has been encouraging, threatening and bribing Israel to give up land in exchange for peace. This is a subtly disguised satanic attempt to get Israel to go against what God commanded them so they could destroy Israel or get God to punish Israel. I will elaborate. God when bringing Israel into the land told them to make no covenants with the nations that were driven out of the land. He also said they are not to dwell in the land lest they make the Israelites sin against God. See scripture references following:
Ex. 23: 31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.
32Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
Now we see it again in Judges.
Judges 2;1 And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
2And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?
3Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
4And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
This covers the peace treaty designed to get Israel to go against God. Now we will deal with the land.
Lev.25:23 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
I interpret trading their land for a peace treaty with the neighbors of Israel would constitute a bad thing biblically. This is the snare that the USA has been trying to draw Israel into for decades. The USA even got Israel to give back the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt by entering into a defense treaty with Israel to defend her against attack. Think Obama would honor that? But if Israel gives back land then it is spiritually doing what they should not do.
The USA gives $1.5 billion a year in military aid to Egypt and does things like this for many other arab states that hate Israel. Then they give Israel loan guarantees not direct aid as far as I know. The USA sitting on many waters tries to control the middle east by arming the surrounding nations to keep tensions high in an attempt to get Israel to give up the land for a peace treaty with her neighbors. See how the chaldeans work. To them the bible is a roadmap to sins and curses.
25Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.
26And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD.
C- Desolate for ever.
27Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers.
C- Arat is Turkey. Minni is a biblical land in region of Iran and Azerbaijan. Aschenaz is a bit harder to pin down but appears to be Ukraine.
28Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers< Published in sections: America (USA) Daughter of Babylon ::
