Understanding who the players are is essential if you are to come to an understanding of the truth of Scripture and Prophecy.
In the process we need to recall that The Christ warned His followers of "Deception" and that it would be the Key to the rise of Anti-christ.
That means that "Anti-christ" comes to power in a place not recognised, at a time not recognised and in a manner not recognised. A deception so great and so far reaching that today few christians would actually know who they worship or indeed what worship actually means in Scripture. I believe the prophetic world today is in a DEEP DELUSION, as their attention is drawn to the wrong area for the rise of "MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATION OF THE EARTH" and anti-christ forces.
We begin with an understanding what The Lord identifed the chief player of end times as being - MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATION OF THE EARTH, that mighty nation that thinks it's life is eternal and who refuses to believe that she will ever see sorrow. To locate this Beast we need to find Her roots and follow these roots through the ages and the simplest and in fact the only way to do that is to play a game of "follow that god".
The god in question has many names but she must root right back to Babylon and then to this present today.
Her name is Ishtar and she is the chief goddess of the Babylonian kingdom ... she was the goodess of Liberty and also therefore the goddess of slaves ... they were known to pray to her for liberation. There are many statues of Ishtar holding a torch and I have seen an embossed stone relief found a decade ago in Iraq that pictured her with the spikes or spears coming from her head. Ishtar is the Assyrian and Babylonian counterpart to the Sumerian Inanna and to the cognate northwest Semitic goddess Astarte. Anunit, Atarsamain and Esther are alternative names for Ishtar. It is historyicly recognised that those who worship this demon god do so by way of worshiping Freedom ... "Freedom" is the form of worship this demonic spirit demands.
New York and records how it was laid in a Masonic ceremony, as one should note in the below image the masonic emblems either side at the bottom of this symbol of American freedom. Read it.
There are many websites under "Ishtar" and "Libertas" showing that The Statue of Liberty does in fact depict this god and
therefore has a direct connection with both Old Babylon (head of gold) to United States of America today.
THE STATUE OF LIBERTY
The Statue of Liberty in New York harbour was presented in 1884 as a gift from the French Grand Orient Temple Masons to the Masons of America in celebration of the centenary of the first Masonic Republic.
It was designed by Frederic Bartholdi, a Freemason, who sculpted the statue to be his artistic interpretation of the Roman Goddess Libertas which is the early Roman version of the Babylonian chief goddess Ishtar the goodess of liberty.
Bartholdi, like many French Freemasons of his time, was deeply steeped in ‘Egyptian’ rituals, and it has often been said that he conceived the original statue as an effigy of the goddess Isis, and only later converted it to a ‘Statue of Liberty’ for New York harbour when it was rejected for the opening of the Suez Canal in Egypt in 1867."
THE TORCH SYMBOL
She is holding the Masonic "Torch of Enlightenment". Also referred to back in the 1700's by the Illuminati Masons as the
"Flaming Torch of Reason". The Torch represents the "Sun" in the sky.
The Statue of Liberty's official title, according to Freemasonary is "Liberty Enlightening the World".
Illuminati means to "bare light" one way to symbolize this is by carrying a torch.
MYSTERY BABYLON
"Mystery Babylon" is just that "A Mystery" it cannot be obvious at least not till right near the end and until 2004 most people thought America was a good nation at heart trying to do good in the world.
Babylon was the centre of communication, trade and political and religious power, and what's interesting is that America controls the World Wide Web. America here is quoted as being in total control of the internet ... Just as the Tower of Babel was.
America is in control of trade through Bretton Woods and the war you are seeing is a EURO v's $US war nothing else.
Mother of Harlots I believe is evident of the religious cults that mostly come out of America.
The term "Abomination of The Earth" is translated "destruction of the earth" and that is evident now is it not?
I have said that America is Mystery Babylon the Great, Mother of Harlots and Abomination of The Earth and if this is true you should be able to identify Anti-christ as all evidence should lead us to one end. Anti-christ is identified to rule over this nation so another piece of evidence of who this nation is should be found in it's leadership.
Enter "The Apotheos of Washington"
The Capitol Rotunda where Constantine Brumidi depicted "George Washington rising to the heavens in glory" surrounded by Greek gods.
"The Apotheos of Washington" means literally the "Raising of a person to the Rank of God". In this every president of the United States of America from George Washington on have constituted the term "Anti-christ".
Funny enough "Anti-christ" not only means "Against Christ" but also "replace Christ" and a true "anti-christ" will be both. We have evidenced nearly every US president claiming to be "christian" yet even a cursory observation shows quite the opposite.
One thing should be recognised at this point. The term "anti-christ" never refers to "one man" in Scripture. Not once in Scripture is the term "The Anti-Christ" found refering to it being a single man.
I've also considered for over 30 years that to completely fulfill the term "anti-christ" the entity must be "christian" and as it
turns out the entire anti-christ system is totally supported by and built on what is claimed to be christian but is rooted back to a false race calling themselves jews but actually come from Babylon and worship a completely demonic entity.
See: http://www.iron-clay.com/pdf/jew-zionist-antisemite-seed-deception.pdf
Enter "The United Nations"
The United Nations was created by the United States and it's mission is allegedly to bring world peace. Christ however is the "Prince of Peace" not the UN nor any American president yet right now we have both the UN and the American president claiming to be bring peace to the earth. The president is claiming to be ridding the earth of terrorists and thus making it safe and peaceful. Even to the "Chain Gang" (general public) that claim is wearing thin today ... actually it began to wear thin 3.5 years after the Rome Stature was signed and the Rome Statute is a seven year peace treaty. See my OWG page.
WHAT THE PROPHETS SAID ABOUT BABYLON
