BABYLON THE CITY THAT CHALLENGED THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD ON EARTH
"And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and was adorned with gold and precious stone and pearls and had in her hand a golden cup that was full of disgusting things and the unclean things of her fornication. And upon her forehead was written a name, a mystery: “Babylon the Great, the mother of the harlots and of the disgusting things of the earth.” And I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the holy ones and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus" (Revelation 17:4-6).
Babylon the Great represents the priestly dimension of the devil’s sovereignty on earth: the patriotic and religious spirituality that accompanies the human sovereignty, led by Satan, enabling relative cohesion of empires and states (2 Corinthians 4:4). To better understand, we can read the account of the last of the devil's temptations: "Again the Devil took him along to an unusually high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him: “All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me”" (Matthew 4:8,9). In this case, the devil asked for an act of worship and allegiance which represented the spiritual dimension of recognition of his sovereignty on earth (temporary), in exchange for sharing this sovereignty. Jesus Christ rejected this offer, telling him that exclusive worship belongs to Jehovah: "Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service"” (Matthew 4:10). In his answer, Jesus Christ opposes the devil's offer, the fact that every human must offer a sacred service (in worship) to Jehovah God. Where do we offer sacred service? In a temple, which is currently spiritual. This shows that worship (political or religious) is closely linked to the recognition of the sovereignty of one who is supposed to be worshiped, either God or the devil.
The Christians of the early church and those who lived in the twentieth century (but also today), were confronted with this same test: their exclusive worship to God (by a sacred service) and obedience to his Son Jesus Christ , was put into severe trials and difficulties, facing with another form of political and religious worship, required on pain of imprisonment and often death. The holy ones often paid with their freedom and their life, their attachment to God and to his Son Jesus Christ, in the lion pits, the concentration camps, the gulags, the imprisonments (Hebrews 11:32-38). The Revelation describes Babylon the Great, capital of Satan's sovereignty on earth, as a sanguinary woman: "And I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the holy ones and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus" (Revelation 17:6).
In John 4:23, Jesus Christ talk about "true worshipers", therefore Babylon the Great can only represent the symbolic capital of the "false worshipers". It represents the earthly sovereignty of Satan, through humans who venerates it by various cult objects, such as statues or flags and political and religious rites, such as prayers and hymns not addressed to God, but to other gods or saints, or simply patriotic worship, or worship or adulation to dictators... The former city of Babylon refers to the first attempt to organize a worldwide kingdom to worship Satan the devil, through Nimrod who wanted to be the first founder and autocrat or earthly dictator. This new kingdom was to be the earthly capital of sovereignty, rivaling that which rightfully belongs to Jehovah (Genesis 10:8,9; 11:4 "Nimrod, a mighty hunter in opposition to Jehovah"). The city of Babylon was in present-day Iraq, not far from Baghdad, in the south, on the edge of the Euphrates. This city is the antithesis of the city of Jerusalem, which is the spiritual capital of Jehovah's "true worshipers" (John 4:23).
In the book of Revelation, the New Jerusalem represents the future heavenly wife of King Jesus Christ (Revelation 21:2). It is written that the future earthly governance of the New Jerusalem will be both royal and priestly. It represents a kingdom (Revelation 5:10). Likewise, Babylon the Great is a city described as "kingdom over kings" (Revelation 17:18). This kingdom over kings is the exercise of the priestly sovereignty around worship whether in the context of a (religious) temple or a patriotic (political) ceremony.
Babylon the Great is described as a prostitute, who commits fornication with the kings of the earth (Revelation 18:3). In this, it is like Jezebel, mentioned in the book of revelation: "Nevertheless, I do hold this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and misleads my slaves to commit sexual immorality and to eat things sacrificed to idols" (Revelation 2:20). We can consider this passage to be a simple definition of Babylon the Great: a prophetess who organizes the worship of Satan on earth. In the Bible it is described as the one that encouraged the worship of Baal, a worship rivaling the true worship of Jehovah (1 Kings 17:31; 18:19). In the biblical narrative she is describes as manipulator of her husband, king Ahab, even to organize murders (1 Kings 21 the murder of Naboth). Therefore, Babylon the Great is the allusion to the first city organized as worship rivaling that of Jehovah, also symbolized with the bad woman Jezebel the prophetess of Baal (contemporary of the prophet Elijah).
In the Bible there is the concept of the sovereignty of God through royalty, and the sovereignty of God through the worship (or sacred service) due to it, through the priesthood. These two concepts, administration of the city by a king or princes (political) and administration of the priesthood, although different, are inseparable. For example, in the Bible, the 144,000 have the function of representing the sovereignty of God, through the royal function (administration of the city) and priestly sovereignty (administration of the spiritual temple) (Revelation 5:10). It is interesting to note that the copper altar in the courtyard of the temple sanctuary had four horns at four angles (Exodus 29:12). What did these horns symbolize? They simply symbolized the sovereignty of God: "Jehovah will shatter those fighting against him; He will thunder against them from the heavens. Jehovah will judge to the ends of the earth, He will give power to his king And exalt the horn of his anointed one" (1 Samuel 2:10). In this text, the symbol of the horn is associated with the exercise of royalty as an expression of Jehovah's sovereignty. While in the temple, the four horns were associated with the exercise of Jehovah's sovereignty through the priesthood, as part of exclusive worship (or sacred service).
Even in the book of Revelation, there is a passage which shows that Babylon the Great is not the symbol opposite to what represents the sovereignty of kings on earth. In Revelation 18:9,10, it is written that the "kings of the earth will weep and beat themselves in grief over her (Babylon the Great)". This shows that if Babylon the Great were to represent only the false "religion", destroyed by the expression of human political sovereignty (represented by the kings of the earth), does not seem to conform to the context of the book of Revelation. The false worship is far beyond the mere "religious" context, the worship of a false god in a temple, for example. The false worship can also take place in a political context, or as part of an entire nation. The best known state cult is patriotism, the singing of the national anthem (or worship) to the fatherland (acting as an impersonal god representing the nation and the people) and the salute to the flag (gestural worship to the impersonal god of the Fatherland or the Nation). Autocratic regimes have often been organized in a cult of the person of a dictator, greeted in a "religious" gesture of allegiance, or even adoration, with the aim of creating national, patriotic even globalism cohesion.
In the book of Revelation chapter 13, it is described a wild beast with two horns, which organizes a false worship around the image of the wild beast which has the number 666. This wild beast is described in a "religious" action while it is supposed to represent a "political" entity. In a way, this wild beast created a new "religion", for a "political" purpose. This shows that in the Bible, these two Greco-Roman concepts are not separated, they are nested. False worship is also exercised in a "political" framework, it is very linked to the exercise of human sovereignty.
The wild beasts of the Apocalypse
In Revelation 17:18, it is written that Babylon the Great is a kingdom, or the expression of sovereignty. In Revelation 13, but also 17, the wild beasts are kingdoms, which horns represent human kings in their military role to defend their sovereignty by force. These wild beasts, as in Daniel’s prophecy, are the expression of human sovereignty by means of armies (Daniel 7 and 8). Jesus Christ also described the Roman armies as the "disgusting thing" (an unclean animal) that causes desolation: "Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place" (Matthew 24:15). The prophecy of Daniel alludes to an animal: "And on the wing of disgusting things there will be the one causing desolation; and until an extermination, what was decided on will be poured out also on the one lying desolate" (Daniel 9:27b). Thus, the wild beasts of the prophecies of Daniel, of Jesus Christ and the Revelation, represent a military entity that destroys and defends human sovereignty by force and ravaging everything in its path. The very fact that these beasts are "wild" is contrary to the very notion of "politics" which is the administration of the city. A "wild" beast does nothing than killing, devouring, tearing and crushing... It causes havoc: "And the ten horns that you saw and the wild beast, these will hate the prostitute and will make her devastated and naked, and they will eat up her flesh and completely burn her with fire" (Revelation 17:16).
In Revelation 13, there are mainly three wild beasts: The first beast is “ascending out of the sea”, and it has seven heads and ten horns with a diadem on each of them (Revelation 13:1,2). The fact that it rises from the sea means that it represents a domination which comes from the whole of the current humanity represented, in the Revelation, by many waters: "The waters which you saw, where is seated the prostitute, represent peoples, and crowds, and nations, and languages "(Revelation 17: 1,15). The seven heads represent human kingdoms which are symbolic mountains (Revelation 17: 9). The ten horns of the beast with the diadems represent the set of kings in the exercise of their own power (Revelation 17:12). The "blasphemous names" are obviously the patriotic names of the nations that replace the sovereignty of God on earth.
The second wild beast is "ascending out of the earth", it has two horns like a lamb, but it speaks like a dragon. The fact that it has two horns, in that case, does not mean that this power is led by two kings. The two horns make it look like a harmless lamb, but in fact, it speaks and acts like a destructive dragon: "And it performs great signs, even making fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the sight of mankind" (Revelation 13:13). This wild beast has the world power of the first beast. It represents the current world power. The fact that it ascends out of the earth means that this military world power is the result of stable elements of the human system, as an organized society by a government, institutions and administrations (Revelation 21:1).
The third wild beast is the fruit of the imagination of the second two-horned wild beast, who decides to make an image or a statue of the first wild beast (Revelation 13:14-18). This third wild beast is described in detail in Revelation 17, with seven heads and ten horns, this time without a diadem, which represents kings who have no concrete power. In this same chapter, this image of the beast represents an eighth king (verse 11). This beast is only the result of a vague human concept which consists in making a representation of a worldwide sovereignty: The United Nations. The expression "that was but is not" means that it is only an "image" or a representation of the sovereignty of all the nations, which is, but is not intrinsically this concrete exercise of this sovereignty (the horns have no diadems). The UN is the image or the representation of the sovereignty of the nations, but it is not concretely this sovereignty exercised, in fact, at the level of each of the states or nations.
The cross between Revelation 13 and 17, allows us to better understand how the fall of Babylon the Great was carried out which will lead to its final destruction, particularly by means of solving the enigma around the number 666: "This is where it calls for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a man’s number, and its number is 666" (Revelation 13:18). This number 666 is a benchmark that allows us to know when, this image of the beast had this power of "an hour" to destroy Babylon the Great: "The ten horns that you saw mean ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they do receive authority as kings for one hour with the wild beast. (…) And the ten horns that you saw and the wild beast, these will hate the prostitute and will make her devastated and naked, and they will eat up her flesh and completely burn her with fire" (Revelation 17:12,16). But also, the exact moment, during this "one hour", when the two-horned beast gave life to this "image" or statue: "And it was permitted to give breath to the image of the wild beast, so that the image of the wild beast should both speak and cause to be killed all those who refuse to worship the image of the wild beast." (Revelation 13:15) (THE TWO KINGS (last part)).
The image of the first wild beast
“And it misleads those who dwell on the earth, because of the signs that were granted it to perform in the sight of the wild beast, while it tells those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the wild beast that had the sword-stroke and yet revived. (...) And he carried me away in the power of the spirit into a wilderness. And I caught sight of a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored wild beast that was full of blasphemous names and that had seven heads and ten horns. (...) Here is where the intelligence that has wisdom comes in: The seven heads mean seven mountains, where the woman sits on top. And there are seven kings: five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet arrived, but when he does arrive he must remain a short while. And the wild beast that was but is not, it is also itself an eighth [king], but springs from the seven, and it goes off into destruction” (Revelation 13:14 ; 17:3,9-11).
The link between Revelation 13, where the image of the wild beast is mentioned, and the description in chapter 17, is found in the expression regarding to the beast with seven heads and ten horns, "that was but is not" (which is the definition of the image, which represents graphically or in the form of a statue, but which object or support, is not intrinsically what it represents). This beast, has the same appearance as the first beast, but does not have diadems on each horn. Which logically, as an image, suggests that this beast has the role that the two-horned beast wants it to play. The world political body closest to the description of the Revelation, is the current UN (United Nations). This Organization represents the globalist ideology of human sovereignty. It is written in the book of Revelation, that the beast with two horns (the current United States world power), gave the idea of creating an image, after the healing, of the wound of the first beast. After the First World War, there was the creation of the SDN (The League of Nations (January 10, 1920)). At the end of the Second World War, there was the creation of the United Nations (October 24, 1945). According to the Revelation, even if this image has only the role that the whole that the nations, want it to play, it is in fact an eighth king, which represents a globalized government.
"And the ten horns that you saw and the wild beast, these will hate the prostitute and will make her devastated and naked, and they will eat up her flesh and completely burn her with fire. For God put it into their hearts to carry out his thought, yes, to carry out their one thought by giving their kingdom to the wild beast, until the words of God will have been accomplished (Revelation 17:16,17)
The fall of Babylon the Great and the Globalist New World Order - 1991
The proclamation of the fall of Babylon the Great is the announcement of a historic event that has an international scope, like the epicenter of a great earthquake that would be global. The geographical location of the fall of Babylon the Great represents this epicenter which is located in ancient Babylon, in Iraq, near the capital Baghdad. The fulfillment of this prophecy is a very important landmark in time. His understanding allows us to discern when the period described by Jesus Christ in Matthew 24:29 began, which very shortly precedes the great tribulation: "Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken" (Matthew 24:29).
To fully understand the meaning of this prophecy, we must remember what Jesus Christ said about a kingdom that ends up dividing: "Every kingdom divided against itself comes to ruin, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand" (Matthew 12:25). And this is exactly what this biblical prophecy describes: a division into Satan's earthly kingdom "reduced to ruin", by armies that destroy Babylon the Great. This prophecy shows that it was God who caused this dire situation for Babylon the Great, the capital of the kingdom of Satan. What does it mean ?
It is necessary to proceed in order, starting from a biblical observation and comparing it with the historical facts which seem to fit perfectly. The demonstration will consist in showing the correlation between the number 666 which is stamped on the image of the beast, which symbolizes very exactly the moment when this image, the United Nations, came to life and exercised an effective world military authority "of one hour", with the UN Resolution Number 666 (Revelation 17:12 "one hour"). This "one hour" UN authority was used to destroy Babylon the Great Babylon (Iraq), the epicenter and beginning of a global destruction of human sovereignty that began in early 1991 and will continue until the great tribulation. This demonstration will make the link between the prophetic number 666 and the resolution UN 666, at the time of its authority "of one hour", which was part of a series of other resolutions UN, which led to the destruction of ancient Babylon, symbolized by Iraq.
Get out of Babylon the Great
"And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues""
(Revelation 18:4)
Getting out of Babylon the Great, is no longer participating in religious ceremonies that worship other gods than Jehovah, the only true God. Such religious participation amounts to sacrificing to demons (1 Corinthians 10:20-22). Getting out of Babylon the Great, is no longer participating in patriotic ceremonies by singing national anthems and saluting the flag of the country. Getting out of Babylon the Great, is to give up taking arms to wage war and kill our neighbor, in the name of a nationalist and religious patriotism (Matthew 26:52 "Then Jesus said to him: “Return your sword to its place, for all those who take up the sword will perish by the sword""). Continuing to practice such patriotic worship, would ultimately amount to receive the "mark of the wild beast" (Revelation 13:16,17).
Getting out of Babylon the Great, the spiritual city which has challenged the sovereignty of God, is to join, at the same time, the true worship: "Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshippers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for indeed, the Father is looking for ones like these to worship him. God is a Spirit, and those worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth" (John 4:23,24). Jesus Christ defined the true worship as that directed to his Father, who is Jehovah. In Revelation 18:4, God designates those who are getting out of Babylon the Great and come out of the Great Tribulation to come in the earthly paradise, as being "his people". In the prophecy of Zechariah, it is symbolically the city of "Jerusalem": "And I will bring them in, and they will reside in Jerusalem; and they will become my people, and I will become their God in truth and in righteousness" (Zechariah 8:8). According to Revelation, it is the holy city from which those who repent, give glory to God (Revelation 11:2,13).
In the earthly paradise, this holy city will be the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21: 2). Those who call on and think of the name of Jehovah will be saved, by manifesting their faith in the sacrifice of Christ (Joel 2:32 "And everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved"; Malachi 3:16 "And a book of remembrance was written before him for those fearing Jehovah and for those meditating on his name"; Revelation 7:9-17 "The great crowd that will come out of the great tribulation"; Zechariah 13:8,9 "The great crowd will represent the "third part" of the current humanity, which will survive").
For those who want to be part of the people of God, let them approach the Christian congregation which fulfills this criterion stated by Jesus Christ: "I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples—if you have love among yourselves" (John 13:34,35).
Why do the kings of the earth and the merchants are mourning
the fall of Babylon the Great?
"And the kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality with her and lived with her in shameless luxury will weep and beat themselves in grief over her when they see the smoke from her burning. (...) Also, the merchants of the earth are weeping and mourning over her, because there is no one to buy their full cargo anymore"
(Revelation 18:9,11)
Like Jezebel, the queen who influenced the undecided king Ahab, Babylon the Great was the one who influenced, in a spiritual sense, the kings of the earth (1 Kings 21:4-16 "the murder of Naboth by the plot of Jezebel, to steal his vineyard and give it to her husband, king Ahab "). By means of Babylon the Great, patriotic religious spirituality (nationalist patriotic), the kings of the earth managed to unite peoples and kingdoms, but also to despoil them in the name of religion and their policy of personal enrichment. Through religious and political ceremonies, the merchants got rich. During the XXth century, after the first, second world war and the Cold War, rivers of human blood flowed, due to the political and religious ideologies, the spirituality of Babylon the Great. So they were widely discredited in the eyes of the world population. The bloodthirsty spirituality of Babylon the Great has spilled the blood of the holy ones: "And I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the holy ones and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus" (Revelation 17:6). The waters of the "Euphrates River", the natural defense of Babylon the Great, have "dried up", that is, the support of the nations for it has suddenly disappeared (Revelation 16:12 : "The sixth one poured out his bowl on the great river Eu·phraʹtes, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the rising of the sun": This is a historical allusion to the strategic way that King Cyrus the Persian, has conquered the former Babylon, in 539 BCE, prophesied in Isaiah 44:27,28 to 45:1-7, drying up the waters around Babylon; compare with Revelation 17:1 "Sits on many waters").
Since the beginning of 1991, the kings of the earth no longer manage to unite their kingdoms around these politico-religious ideologies, the spirituality of Babylon the Great. According to Daniel's prophecy, iron (government authority) and clay (the people), can be no longer agree: "Just as you saw iron mixed with soft clay, they will be mixed with the people; but they will not stick together, one to the other, just as iron does not mix with clay" (Daniel 2:43). The kings of the earth, are mourning the fall of Babylon the Great, because they cannot control the people by the religious and nationalist patriotic spirituality of Babylon the Great, they no longer manage to enrich themselves by its means. Obviously, the fall of Babylon the Great had economic and commercial repercussions, because the people no longer participate as much as before, in religious and political ceremonies and festivals, which represents a great loss for traders, the merchants of the temple (THE END OF PATRIOTISM).
The image of the wild beast and its number 666
"Here is where wisdom comes in: Let the one that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a man’s number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six" (Revelation 13:18).
The creation of the image of the wild beast, represents the bases of a new ideology and a globalist cult around this idolatrous image. According to the book of Revelation, this number 666 is a historical marker, being the beginning of the concrete application of the globalist ideology. However, the book of Revelation, gives a very precise detail, to know the meaning of the number 666: "And it puts under compulsion all persons, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, that they should give these a mark in their right hand or upon their forehead, and that nobody might be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name. Here is where wisdom comes in: Let the one that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a man’s number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six" (Revelation 13:16-18). The "calculation" of this number 666, is in fact, an understanding of its meaning, and not a simple arithmetic operation.
The previous verses of the same chapter 13, inform us that it is the two-horned beast who brings to life its image of the wild beast and that he puts to death those who do not worship it (Revelation 13:14,15). There is a last point before revealing the exact meaning of these information, it is written: "The ten horns that you saw mean ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they do receive authority as kings for one hour with the wild beast" (Revelation 17:12). By this verse, we have the confirmation that this image of the wild beast has no power. However, at a historical moment, this image would have, in the space of "one hour", a crucial global role. When did this happen? To get the answer, you have to start from the number 666 and the information from Revelation 13, regarding to a right to buy and to sell.
To do this, given that the image of the wild beast, would be the UN, the most logical, is to ask whether there has been, in the past, a resolution 666, linked to this famous law, allowing or not, to buy or sell (moreover, that will make it possible to check if the interpretation regarding the image of the beast, is right). Does this resolution 666 exist? Yes it does. When was this resolution issued? Shortly before the first war against Iraq (the former Babylon), September 13, 1990. The Number 666, corresponds to the UN Resolution 666 which is part of the series of other Resolutions against the Iraq (the ancient place where Babylon was) (660, 661, 662, 664, 665, 666, 667, 669, 670, 674, 677 and 678). The period of "one hour" could refer to the time of the presentation and the vote of this resolution n°666. In fact, Resolution No. 666 legislates on how to proceed with the embargo decreed by Resolution 661, stipulating that the humanitarian needs of the countries concerned (Iraq-Kuwait) must be taken into account at the same time:
The United Nations Security Council Resolution 666 (extract): “United Nations Security Council Resolution 666, adopted on September 13, 1990, after recalling resolutions 661 (1990) and 664 (1990) which discussed the humanitarian situation in Iraq and Kuwait and the detention of nationals from foreign countries, the Council decided to ask the Security Council Committee to determine if humanitarian needs have arisen and to keep the situation under review. At the same time, it expected Iraq to comply with its obligations under international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention, relating to the safety and detainment of third-state nationals in Iraq and occupied Kuwait” (Wikipedia United Nations Security Council Resolution 666). UN Resolution 666, mentions the regulation of an embargo against Iraq (Babylon), as Revelation 13:16-18, associated with the number 666.
If we compare the terms of this resolution 666 (including the resolution 661), with Revelation 13: 16-18, the similarity is striking because the prophecy evokes an "embargo" against those who do not have the "mark" of the wild beast or does not respect the human sovereignty in its nationalist, patriotic and globalist dimension. It is the UN Resolution 678 (November 29, 1990), which will allow the military coalition of 33 countries, to destroy by massive bombardments, Iraq (the place of origin of Babylon, the city which was the cradle of globalist sovereignty like the past Nimrod purpose), by the first Gulf War ( Desert Storm (January 17, 1991-February 28, 1991) ; (Genesis 10:8; 11:1-4 (first human attempt of globalist government)).
Thus, the number 666 is the historical marker, in connection with resolution 666 (with other resolutions), of the image of the beast (UN), linked with the effective beginning of the application of the globalist ideology which consists to control the whole of humanity, by the mark on the right hand, to allow people to buy or to sell. The beginning of this new period of the effective application of globalist ideology has been called, in English, the New World Order. After his overwhelming victory over Saddam Hussein (Iraqi President, at that time), President Bush (Father) (President of the United States at that time), made a speech with a strong biblical accent, before the American Congress using the expression "The New World Order", a few months before, on September 11, 1990.
The international context of this "New Order" was the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 and the imminent end of the Soviet Empire which would finally take place on December 26, 1991. This speech (of September 11, 1990), laid the foundations for a new international relationship in the aftermath of the imminent end of the Cold War. This speech was presented before the American Congress, during the period of the first Gulf War (from August 2, 1990 to February 28, 1991). After the victory of the United States with the coalition of the 32 other countries, over Iraq, President Bush (father) delivered the State of the Union speech on March 6, 1991, which celebrated the victory . He repeated this expression of "new world order" of peace, security, freedom and respect for the law.
In fact, this act, presented as the beginning of a new world order of prosperity, was a shot at the foot of world governance, because Iraq was precisely the symbol of the cradle of this rival governance to that of God. Moreover, the book of Revelation mentions that it was God who inspired the wild beast to do this: "For God put it into their hearts to carry out his thought, even to carry out their one thought by giving their kingdom to the wild beast, until the words of God will have been accomplished" (Revelation 17:17). How did this happen? Simply by means of the Bible the Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16,17).
The United Nations is using the Bible as Patriotic Propaganda of the Worldwide Peaceful Human Sovereignty On Earth: "And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore" (Isaiah 2:4). The Good News of the Kingdom of God, written in the Bible, is the Tool by means “God put it into their hearts to carry out his thought”. And we saw how the Bible symbolically described the powerful human prophet in Revelation 13:14-18 and Daniel 11:41-43, he has been imagining to “fulfill” God purpose in the Restoration of Israel, particularly since 1948. Who mainly did decide the destruction of Iraq (Babylon) of January 17th, 1991, “Operation Desert Storm”? The leader as representation of the prophet: President George Herbert Walker Bush (1989-1993).
What was the religion of this American political leader? Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America. On Wikipedia (French version), it is written, just before the beginning of the First Gulf War, that he considered as a Crusade War, he consulted his religious mentor, Billy Graham. Who is Billy Graham? “William Franklin "Billy" Graham, Jr., KBE (born November 7, 1918) is an American evangelical Christian evangelist, ordained as a Southern Baptist minister, who rose to celebrity status in 1949 reaching a core constituency of middle-class, moderately conservative Protestants” (Wikipedia Billy Graham). This man has been a “preacher” and spiritual mentor for some American Presidents : “A new book by Time Magazine editors Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy, The Preacher and the Presidents: Billy Graham in the White House (Center Street, August 2007) tells the story of an extraordinary private ministry to America's most powerful political leaders.
The mark of the wild beast
"And it puts under compulsion all persons, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, that they should give these a mark in their right hand or upon their forehead, and that nobody might be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name" (Revelation 13:16,17).
As the God-given date of the Great Tribulation fast approaches, the framework for global and centralized domination of peoples by globalist entities is rapidly taking shape. On a general level, the mark on the right hand and on the forehead, of the wild beast, is a symbol of belonging. For example, regarding the 144,000, a group that belongs to Jehovah and Jesus Christ, it is written that the name of the Lamb and that of his Father are written on their foreheads (Revelation 14:1-5).
In the context of the end of chapter 13, it is written that the two-horned beast, the puppet of the devil, will make a very strong coercion to compel humans to have these two marks on the right hand and on the forehead. This mark is probably similar to that of the temptation of the devil, asking Jesus Christ to worship him. Humans as a whole will have to position themselves, for or against the domination of God. We have to wait to see concretely the situation or situations that will try to attack the spiritual and physical integrity of humans. The mark on the right hand may be the presentation, generally with the right hand, of a paper document or in the form of a QR Code (with a mobile phone or a computer), with authorization value. Let's wait, keeping watch.
