BABYLON . . .& "THE MARK of the BEAST"

Babylon, the city is no more, but her ideologies and religious practices live on, even still to today!

Mark of the Beast" M.O.B. To any who have read, with or without understanding the Book of Daniel, should know that these beasts are but symbols, of empires, kingdoms and or power systems of man or men!

      It is enough to say, those who accept and believe the words of men, over the Word of God, shall be "Blotted Out", the second death from which there is NO return nor reprieve!

Romans 6:16. "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"

     Again, there are but two. . .two camps within the entire human race, lives and obeys, either God and eternal life, or man/men and eternal death! There's absolutely no middle ground, we either follow God or we follow Satan and his crew!

 Revelation 13:1-2. "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.  And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."

     Please NOTE: John saw from his day back into time, while Daniel was given to see forwards into time thus the orders are from John, a reverse order, from the visions of Daniel

Daniel 7:1-8. "In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.  Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.  And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.  After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things".

 Daniel 7:16-17. "I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things. These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of he earth."

 Daniel 7:19-20. "Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;  And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows"

   This was still the Roman Empire of the Emperors.

     Three fell... from Dan. 7:8,20,24 they are/were the Huruli destroyed A.D 493, the Vandals in 534 A.D. and the Ostrogoths wiped out in A.D. 535, which was the exact year the Bible forecast, in the 2300 days prophecy.

 Daniel 8:20-21. "The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.".


    We know from man's history, that first there was the Babylonian kingdom, that lost to the Medes and the Persians, the Medo-Persian empire, which fell to the Greeks under Alexander the Great, who died leaving four generals to divide his empire. This power lost to the Iron might of Pagan Rome, that's seen in part, in this verse....

 Daniel 8:23-25. "And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.  And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.  And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand."

    This becomes the beginnings of power for the "Little Horn"

 Daniel 7:20-21. "And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;"

     So, which power system or structure waged war and persecuted God's saints in human history?

Daniel 7:23. "Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces."

    From this we learn this 4th power, is diverse, or different from all other powers, and it shall DEVOUR the whole earth, tread it down, and break it in pieces.

 Daniel 7:24. "And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings."

     REVIEW: From Babylon to Greece, to Rome itself, shows a constant movement from the East to the West, agree? 7:24 tells of 10 horns symbolic of power, as are the 10 kings, yet another shall rise after them , different from the the 10  but he shall subdue 3 kings. So I ask you what sets this "Horn with eyes and a mouth" apart from all the other powers?

      If, we accept the premise, that human powers waring against human powers, in any fashion, to be on the HORIZONTAL PLANE, then can we by this reasoning, take the next verse to be a war in the VERTICAL, as a war against God?

 Daniel 7:25. "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."

     Who but our Heavenly Father could or can be the "Most High"?  Which power, in human history, did 'wear-out' the saints of the Most High, and THINK to change times and laws?  Now would anyone notice, or think God would have caused His servants to comment on human laws that got changed?    YES-NO?
     Most scholars find that the laws, note plural, and to change times, must be within God;s laws and His Times, does that sound within reason?

 Genesis 1:4-5. "And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."

     For all the Scripture lawyers & and skeptics, the word DAY, in the Hebrew is YOME, and is 24 hour time frame from sunset to sunset, but that got changed by men from midnight to midnight, nearly 2,000 years ago! Along with the change from the Sabbath worship to worship on "The Venerable Day of the Sun", in 321 A.D. by Constantine.; {God set up these days/times so all without watches or clocks could know when one day ended, and another began, by sun's set or rising!}

      Who or what is the "Little Horn " power, and does the Bible, and human history, give us any clues?
     Yes, history places these as follows:
ANGLO - SAXONS  of England today
FRANKS - The French
BURGUNDIANS - The Swiss
VISIGOTHS -  Spain today
ALAMANNI- Germany
SUEVI Portugal
LOMBARDS Italy  along with the three }"Uprooted" kings,the Huruli, Vandals and the Ostrogoths are the ten kings.

 Daniel 2:41-43. "And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.  And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay."

    Iron & clay will NOT mix, even in a lab. This means that although these kings intermarried so much so, that W.W.! could have been called a "Family Feud", because they are so inter-related, no human from the Caesars to the kings to Napoleon, to the Kaiser, to Hitler, or Euro the "United States of Europe", none have been able to make Europe 'cleave' one to another! {Dan 2- "Iron man in the king's dream}

THE BIBLE'S IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS FOR THE LITTLE HORN POWER.

  1. Dan.7:8. " Coming up among them" it rose up amongst them in W. Europe.
  2.         7:24. "Another shall rise after them. the 10 Germanic tribes took Rome in A.D. 476 so it must have come up after this time.
  3.         7:24. "he shall be different from the first ones" it had to be other than a political power
  4.         7:24. "Shall subdue three kings". The 3 accepted Arianism, that Christ, a good man but not divine, and this power, with Justinian, and in Dan. 7:8 "three would be plucked up by the roots." This was done by 538A.D.
  5.         7:8. "Eyes like the eyes of a man".. horns at times have crowns, but this has eyes and a mouth, meaning power lies within one man, and in men over time.Eyes denotes intellect rather than illiterate barbarians.
  6.          7:25. Speaks pompous words against the Most High" speaks vertically against God,
  7.          7:25. Persecute the saints of the Most High" historians say this power has slain anywhere between 100 to 150 million people, from 535A.D.onwards. *N.B.*
  8.         7:25. "thinks to change times & laws" Yet God is the One who determines events
  9.         7:25 " removes kings and raises up kings,  Dan 2:21 has tried to change times by this means.Plus changing the day of worship from the Sabbath  7th day, to the first day of the week SUN-DAY
  10. Claiming power to modify divine law, "Since his power is not of man, but of God." [Promta Bibliotheca Vol VI,pp.25-29] Comparing the 10 Commandments and book of Catechism will show the 2nd [Exodus 20:4] Commandment is gone, and the 10th is split into two parts to remain 10!
  11. Exodus 20:8-11 changed from 94 words to only 8 words, in the same booklet
  12. Rev.13;2 "and the dragon gave his seat and great power" This city/State/nation, has now 180 nation's Embassies within her borders, plus a seat at the United Nations, only a supernatural power such as Satan, the dragon Rev.12:9, could be able to pull this off, agree?
  13. Rev.13:3. "all the world wondered after the beast" This power has his representatives in every nation on earth!
  14. Revelation 17:9  And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. Please remember a woman symbolic of the church, there are two Rev12:1-2, is Christ's Church, this one is the apostate church, sitting on seven hills, there's only ONE city of any import, that is built upon seven (7) hills.
  15.  Matthew 23:9. "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."
  16.  1 Timothy 2:5. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"  {Mary has no biblical part in mediation, she's asleep in Christ, just as David is.}

     That's 16 points of identification, and most people will already know who this "Little Horn Power" speaks to.

     Here's a few quotes from those who speaks for this system:   CATHOLIC [means Universal} Encyclopedia titled Promta Bibliotheca Vol. VI,pp.25-29:
"The Pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God. {A VICAR is one who acts in the place of another}

"The Pope is as it were God, on earth, sole sovereign of the faithful of Christ, chief of kings, having plenitude of power, to whom has been entrusted by the omnipotent God direction not only of the earthly but also of the heavenly kingdom."

"The pope is of so great authority and power that he can modify, explain, or interpret even divine laws."

    Please that word Catholic means Universal, now think Ecumenical, as in "One size fits all-- all religions are equal all are all truth? How can that be possible? If you have read/studied the post"God's Test of Loyalty," you'd know that the day we worship is set by God, not men, and it written through out the word about the importance for humans to keep this day, the Bible's Sabbath, as a Holy Day.

     Now each one of you, readers, may know which day, all your neighbors observe this day, and which day they go to their Church, right? Then you've seen their Mark, which is the knowledge of either God or of men within their foreheads, or on their hands by way of support in work or in money, being the mark of the foreheads or on their hands.

Thus the  M.O.B. mark of the Beast, in one's going to any church on any day other than the Sabbath!
Those who worship on the Sabbath have the mark of God in their foreheads! These who are faithful shall once again be open to the death degree so oft issued by Rome from 325 A.d. to 1798 AD. which are the 40 and two months, the 1206 days/years of Dan.7:25 based on Ezekiel 4:6 and Numbers 14:34 showing that for prophecy one day is one year! Based on the Hebrew moths of 30 day each Gen 7:24 and 8::3 being 150 days being equal to 5 months.
Times = 2 years or 720 days
Time = 1 year=360 day
Half Time = 1/2 year or 180 days + giving us 1260 years that this Little Horn would be in power.

It was, again Napoleon's General Berthier, who removed Nationhood from the Vatican and took the Pope prisoner in 1798. Then all Europe thought this was the end of the Papacy, but they allowed the Church to remain.

 Ecclesiastes 1:9 . "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun."

Those who refuse to obey the Papacy's edicts shall again face death!

Revelation 13:15. "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."

*NB* The Spanish Inquisition was not just in Spain but within the whole of the Catholic realm, in fact up to the 1890's in Peru. Read any of these books:
The history of the Reformation by D'Aubigne
History of Europe by Qualibin
 Foxe's Book of Martyrs by Foxe
Short Stories of the Reformation by Short
Here I Stand by Bainton

  Please allow me these quotes quote:  John 10:27. "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:"

   Revelation 18:4. "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

     As these two selections clearly show, it's not so much the people who follow these teachings, but the people who run these systems, that have taught falsely! this includes all her "Daughters" from within the so-called Reformation as you can see!

 Revelation 17:5 ."And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

      Can you say Ecumenical to the above?  The "New World Order" led by the same old Civil-Religious powers, of pre-1798 A.D. !  Remember Eccl.1:9? No new thing under the sun....?
