When one considers Bible prophecy one thing that has to be taken onto consideration is that often the prophet was speaking of a future time or future events that were to come. What signs would accompany or precede the ushering in of the events.
In writing down the visions these men were given by God often we notice they would often revolve around symbolism. Why is that? I believe in part because they were describing things that they were not familiar with. This challenged them to describe things in such a manner that they could identify with. It is no different then today.
Often when one hears of a UFO sighting, these crafts are not identified by any specific name. We often hear statements such as "saucer" or "Frisbee" because of the shape these crafts apprently appear in.
In prophecy we are told of a distant time where "locusts with the face of a man that will reign down fire" near the time of the end will inhabit the earth.
Too the finite small human mind this can seem ridiculous. But what were the prophets seeing that they could not describe?
(A grasshopper/locust flying, minus the little dude on top)
(how else would you describe it if you had never seen one?)
(The face of a man in the cockpit reigning down fire, hmmmm...)Or how about a swarm?
It is simply food for thought. And quite possibly the most accurate description a prophet could give during his timeline in history.
The following article regarding Mystery Babylon is NOT mine. I had no part in it's content, pics, etc. But as I read it I admit it was rather thought provoking. I have re-copied it here too hear what your views on it might be. It will be considerd offensive to my Muslim friends but that is not the intent of me posting it. In my view I do believe we are living in the latter times of the last days and the return of Jesus Christ is very near.
MYSTERY BABYLON, The Beast, & The Mother of Harlots
Rev 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me,
saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment
of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
Rev 17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,
and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk
with the wine of her fornication.
Rev 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,
and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls,
having a golden cup in her hand
full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
Rev 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON
THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy,
Now Notice the Relation of the Beast of Islam.
Notice that First Day Cover Issue of a Palestinian Authority Postage Stamp Comes Right Out in Plain English and rather clearly states the
Moon God of Islam to be Baal.
Baal, Lucifer, Satan, the devil, is Allah the moon god of the Beast of Islam. That is why the Religion of Islam is the Favored Religion of the Luciferian Global Satanists.
Psa 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
Psa 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Psa 2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
Psa 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Psa 2:5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Psa 2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
Everyone should Notice that the Shape of the Horns of the Beast which the harlot rides is in the OBVIOUS Crescent Moon of Islam or Baal
Rev 2:12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
Rev 2:13 I know thy works and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
We KNOW from Revelation 2:12-17 that Satan’s Seat was located at Pergamon. The Altar of Pergamon (Location of Satan’s Seat) was discovered in an amazingly preserved condition by a German Archaeologist. In 1902 German Kaiser Wilhelm II brought the entire structure of the Altar of Pergamon, Satan’s Seat, and had it set up in Berlin Germany. (Pictured Above) Wilhelm II claimed that to be the highest achievement of his reign. Satan’s Seat, not a copy, but the actual original is NOW in the European Union in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin Germany.
German Archaeologists also found in an amazingly well preserved condition the Ishtar Gates of Babylon. (Pictured Below). In 1913 Germany began bringing the actual gates of Babylon to also finally be set up in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin Germany. It did not take long for World War One to begin. By 1930 the entire Ishtar Gateway as well as the processional had been brought to Germany and erected in Berlin. The Skull & Bones member, in Germany known as the Thule Society member, Adolph Hitler, celebrated the erection of the Gates of Babylon and ESPECIALLY the Altar of SATAN’S SEAT. World war two resulted in the death of 55 Million, including 6 Million innocent Jews which Hitler sought to purge from Europe. Russia captured the Pergamon Altar or Satan’s Seat but in 1958 returned the Pergamon Altar back to Germany where it is now located in the European Union in Berlin, Germany.
2 Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
The things that make you go "Hmmmm....."
Until next time...
