Welcome back to Be Not Deceived. I am here again with Pastor Mark Dinsmore, and we happen to be on location this time at Mark and Shelley Dinsmore's home. So I want to thank you so much for letting us come to your home and do this special podcast that is on location. So it's so beautiful here on Anderson Island. And you guys are gracious hosts that allow us to come and do this wonderful episode. And we're going be talking about today the return to Babylon or Babel. So, we're gonna look at different things that are, if people out there that don't understand what Babel is of the Old Testament, we're gonna talk about that. We're gonna talk about, things that are forming today as we are at the end of the age and maybe define what that looks like today. So I wanna thank you so much, Mark, for joining us and being my special guest and information that you've gathered. Just to a tour guide. Yeah, be our tour guide today. That's right. I appreciate it. Vicki, you're welcome and Rob, we love you guys and we're so glad to bring this broadcast from our home. Thank you Vicki and Rob for coming down and return to Babbel. It's a big topic, hopefully we'll just cover some highlights, a few points of what it was like back then and what it's moving toward now. I remember years ago when I was still quite young at home, my mother subscribed to a number of conservative newsletters and she really planted a seed in me for research even when I was quite young. So one of the tracks that came in the mail one day was called Full Speed Back to Paganism. And at the time, of course, didn't fully understand what that meant but the title stuck in my mind and surely that describes the day and age in which we live. That was thirty, forty years ago and now look at where we are today. We're certainly speeding full speed back to babble. Right. That lawlessness is off the chart too. That's right. That form that also goes against God. He's the one who established the law and how to protect ourselves as law abiding citizens. So I think that'll be very interesting to look at. Absolutely, because we know the scriptures say that lawlessness shall abound and of course Satan is the lawless one, the Antichrist is the lawless one that is yet to come. But a return to battle is largely about globalization, a centralization of power which is political power, financial power and religious power. So those are kind of the three legs of the stool as you were which Peter Drucker, a popular businessman popularized and Rick Warren adopted as part of his model for Saddleback Church, was a three legged stool. And so this is all about the centralization or the collectivization if you will, which will ultimately bring a one world government, one language, one leader, one religion, one mind, one economy, and one purpose. And we saw that or we see that in Genesis 11, chapter 11 verse six, where the Lord said, Behold, the people are one, and they will have all one language, and this they begin to do, and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. And so there there's a whole sermon packed right in that verse. We'll hopefully touch on a few of those points today. Basically, this is the Holy Trinity remarking themselves that the people are so powerful when they're all united, but they were uniting for an ungodly purpose. Right, outside of God's purpose. That's When God told them to do a specific thing, they chose to do something different. Ran in the opposite direction. Right, and that's what's found in Genesis 11 with the Tower Of Babel. That's very fascinating. It's a fascinating account and of course, that was the great dispersion. This was actually a blessing from God because it disrupted the plans of man to establish his own antichrist autocratic rebellion against God, against his Creator right then and there. The timeframe we're looking at is about eleven hundred years post flood. So if we take the flood of Noah's time at about March give or take one hundred years that's based on a number of clocks and data and research that we've done. Doctor. Walt Brown has done a great job which we've referenced before. So about eleven hundred years, that puts it at approximately February. So within that one hundred year timeframe is when the Tower Of Babel and the dispersion caused by the confusion of the languages which of course caused the peoples of the world to disperse, to spread out across the globe and thereby develop new cultures and new languages that we have today. Right, and I was reading this earlier today out of Genesis 11, this part in verse five where it says, But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. And the Lord said, Indeed, the people are one and they all all have one language and this is what they begin to do. Now, nothing that they purposed to do will be withheld from them. Come, let us go down. And there confuse their language. So, I mean, you didn't know what God was telling people to do, one, to serve Him, not come up with other gods to serve. But two, to disperse and fill the world. To occupy and then multiply do what he's calling you to do. This was truly a rebellious act. And some people might not understand that, that that that that why can't they just build a tower? Why can't they just do what they want? Well, they were doing it in accordance with serving other gods and God was watching them. Absolutely. Yeah, so the Tower Of Babel was going to be quite a monument. People are fascinated by pyramids and by stepped pyramids and most archaeologists and biblical scholars see a connection between the stepped pyramids and the Tower Of Babel, which would have been an immense structure, a fascinating structure, definitely one of the wonders of its time. But what's fascinating to me is this happened so quickly, eleven hundred years, not a great amount of time after the flood when the entire world was judged by water. Yeah, because there was sin, I mean, the hearts of man were continuously evil, correct? Is that why the flood Absolutely. Had to happen? And so we again see a parallel to what's happening today where for a majority of our culture, certainly in popular culture, whether it's music, videos, movies, television series and video games, they're all violent and they're all, many of them are demonic and a sexual nature but they're filled with the violence and so it's not hard to find if you know where to look and yet our young people are inundated with this 20 fourseven. That's true. And it's in their pockets 20 fourseven so we really see today's culture mirroring that of the time of Noah's, the judgment at Noah's time. And we know there's ultimately coming another judgment. And so this is where Babel is also instructive because it was a spiritual rebellion. As we're recording this, the Olympics are going on in Paris and of course many of our viewers have already seen the horrible spectacle and the resultant outrage regarding the opening ceremony which was really an acting out of an occult ritual from darkness to light with blaspheming. And mockery. And mockery of The Last Supper, of course painted by Leonardo da Vinci. And so that's not our topic today. Many have already parsed that out and analyzed that but it was an occult pageant and the entire, it's a picture of the rebellion that we're talking about. It's a picture of rejection of God's truth and his righteousness. And doing things in their own eyes. What they think is right in their own eyes. Romans chapter one. There you go. Absolutely. A lot of people today and I you know, it really is a true reflection of what our society or what this, end of the age is building, moving faster and faster and faster, and the emboldenment, I believe, of our society to think that that is acceptable. Even though there has been quite a bit of pushback by people in the world saying, This is a no brainer. This is obviously unacceptable to mock Christianity and the Last Supper in this way of using transgenders and different crazy outfits and whatever they were trying to portray. But, is a true reflection. I'm sure you agree that our society is emboldened to be able to do it without any regard to push back or Absolutely. Anything And the tragic thing is, on one note, it's events like this where some people who've been asleep in the church begin to wake up, but many of them are, well, where did this come from? This didn't used to be this way. Well, they've been asleep too long. Yeah. Because for decades, the occult elite of the world have already been programming our minds through movies, TV, magazines. Mhmm. And so there is an underground elite is now emerging. You know, how can you have discern discernment if you don't know what the Bible says? Right. Exactly. Right? And also what have the world leaders been telling us for decades? Here's a quote from David Rockefeller. He says, We're grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. And this quote is probably two decades old. We're looking at a fifty year old conspiracy or agenda. He goes on to say, It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years but the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards the world government. The supernational sovereignty of intellectual elite and world bankers surely preferable to the national auto determination practiced in past centuries. But when David Rockefeller published his book memoirs, he removed all out to their agenda. Quoting again from his book, this is in print, quote, for more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum so that include conservative Republicans and Democrats. Yes, that's true. The Uni Party? Yes, continuing, have seized upon well publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of The United States, characterizing my family and me as internationalists and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure, one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty Mhmm. And I'm proud of it. And he's proud of it. Unquote. So that is so fascinating that David Rockefeller sounds like at the beginning when you were reading it that he was trying to say, That's not me, or, You're getting that feeling. But then at the end, he says, I'm proud of it. This is exactly what is being formed and what has, under the surface, has been forming without our knowledge, without a lot of visibility for it. But, at some point, it's gonna come to the surface and become a one world government, one world religious system, and a one world economic system. And that is because God is setting this in motion. So we don't have to be afraid. We don't understand his ways are higher than our ways, but it's so that we know that His word is true. And so it's fascinating that He's given us the roadmap, that there's absolutely nothing to be fearful of. Jesus said, Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. So as we approach the end of this age, we should become more excited and more expectant and more hopeful of the Lord's return. The scriptures in fact say, to exhort one another so much the more as we see the day approaching, to assemble ourselves together, to be rejoicing, to be looking forward to everything that God has in store. Right, it's very exciting time for us as believers in Christ. And as the birth pangs are continuing to grow and go faster and faster, that means in reference to a pregnant woman who is delivering a baby, there is no going back. When the birth pangs start, the end result is having a child. Going back. Yep. And the end result for us, as believers, as Christ has given us his word and is explained in this analogy that the end will come. Right. And I don't want us as believers to forget there's a rapture. Even though a lot of Christians nowadays have said, That's not what I believe in anymore. Or, I don't understand the rapture. It is biblically sound that we are waiting for the Lord's return in the sky and look up for redemption draweth nigh. And we are waiting in anticipation and excitement. So our world itself is very stressed. People are very stressed out after the tyranny that we've been through in the last couple of years and that has caused a lot of people's nerves to be on edge. In 1991 Brock Adams was director of the United Nations World Health Organization said, quote, To achieve a world government it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism and religious dogmas, unquote. So there we see the reason for the attacks against everything that we've grown to love and cherish and respect is now under assault, it's under attack. And this of course is from the World Health Organization. The next quote is from Strobe Talbot, he was Deputy Secretary of State in 1992, I believe that was during the Clinton administration. He said, In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete. All states will recognize a single global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all. That's God's that's God's idea. Yeah. So he's blatantly just saying, God's idea is not so great. Right. We have a different different way to go. Well, and and yes. Absolutely. So the the babble effect, one of my spiritual mentors has now passed, but I have the privilege of working with and for Dave Hunt through at a ministry called The Bree and Call for over eleven years. And at many of his conferences he was famous for holding up reports and papers and research and one of the full page articles or advertisements, I haven't been able to find it but maybe I will be successful, but it was an ad from Lockheed Martin, an aerospace company and of course Dave was very intellectual and he kept track of many things like that. But the ad from Lockheed Martin said, we're undoing the babble effect, undoing the babble effect and this would have been from a publication at least thirty years ago and so today, how much more is our modern technology undoing the babble effect And that brings us to a whole host of topics that we, can cover some of, artificial intelligence. AI, that came to mind as soon as you said that. Absolutely. That no longer do we need to worry about different language because AI will help us out. Yes. And along that line, developments are happening so rapidly. We just you can't even keep track of them. Yeah. It's hard to keep up. But everybody's heard of chat bots now and chat GTP even if you haven't used it everybody's heard of it and but now that it's in production it's available you can get a chat bot to wear around your neck. Oh. Kind of like the old DigiPets with kids only this chat bot will continually listen and respond to your questions and carry on a conversation with you throughout Answer the any question you have. And then we have a new digital human, Nvidia is announced just at a conference here this summer. They're adding a realistic three d ray traced human face that you can see in your computer and still look just like a live human and that will be your new visual assistant in your computer and so it's brought to life. And then you've got, you know, how AI is affecting everyday life even at drive thru. They're talking about using artificial intelligence to replace drive thru workers so your order will be taken by artificial intelligence. And get rid of rid of That's right. Explained by Daniel, which ties into the book of Revelation Yeah. Chapter 17 verses twelve and thirteen. And the 10 horns which thou sawest are 10 kings which have received no kingdom as yet, but received power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. Yep. That's what that's what it says. Yep. The 10 horns which you which you saw are the 10 kings. This is in Revelation seventeen twelve, who have decide who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. So this is the antichrist in full display and the world following right along. Absolutely. Yeah. And this is God, He's already told us how it's going to play out in Revelation. So it's quite fascinating to watch it form in our day and age. It's forming today. It's not quite here but we can see it coming as the next step is most likely regionalization. The elite for years have been trying to break down national barriers, national borders and curiously even Donald Trump who is running on the Republican platform for president obviously. Yep. He said that Christians just need to vote this one last time. Yeah. But you have to get out and vote. And again, Christians get out and vote just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It'll be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I love you Christians. I'm a Christian. I love you. Get out. You gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good you're not gonna have to vote. That was fascinating. One last time. That's all we need to do. Said that. One last time, and then no more. And then what? Why is that? Yeah. Because are we gonna be then divided into the 10 like the club of Rome says, the 10 regions? Are we gonna because our borders are completely open and have been we have been invaded by millions upon millions of illegal immigrants. I'm gonna say that. By design. Design. By design and then what is going to form next is pretty obvious. It seems that he has some inside knowledge though. Right? Right. It's almost like there is an agenda at play. Yeah, have their script and they are playing it out. Which I wasn't sure if we would want to include this or not but it seems important to point out that a Jewish rabbi, a prominent Jewish rabbi, and and many of the Orthodox religious and political leaders in Israel say Trump is anointed as God's Messiah to serve Israel. President Donald Trump was the first American president who stood up in defiance to the entrenched and endemic anti Israel attitude of all previous US administrations towards our presence in the holy Land, an attitude that was in place for the past seventy years. Only he or somebody like him would be the person who deserves this great honor of representing Western society and fulfilling the prophecy uttered to our matriarch Rebecca, the elder one will serve the younger one. At that time in 2020, I was hoping that this prophecy would be fulfilled sooner rather than later, But those hopes did not materialize. Apparently, Western society led by The United States had to go through further degradation and humiliation under the lowly and weak Biden administration before goodness could emerge from the ashes of the failed American dream. Biden's incredible incompetence and intellectual decay is but a symbol of the total obliteration of the fourth beast envisioned by Daniel some twenty five hundred years ago. Biden's replacement was someone whose only qualifications are her gender, her skin color, and the birthplaces of her parents further underscores the complete decomposition of the fourth beast. And apparently, for some incomprehensible reason, the Jews had to suffer the terrible consequences of another four years of a deeply anti Israel American establishment who have emboldened, financed, and even encouraged the thoroughly wicked Iranian access of pure sadistic evil, who are now at the cusp of attaining nuclear capabilities. But now we are about to move on to the next phase. Thank god. The term messiah is used in the books of Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible, as an idiom for someone who was anointed by god for a godly mission connected to the ultimate redemption. There's only one non Jew in the history of mankind who has been given this title. It was given to Cyrus the Great, who freed the Jews from their exile forced upon them by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. Three hundred and seventy years before the common era, Cyrus issued a decree allowing and even encouraging the Jews to leave Babylon and return to their holy land and rebuild their holy temple. Almost two hundred and fifty years prior to that historic declaration, the great prophet Isaiah proclaimed in the most beautiful language the godly role of Cyrus the Great in chapters forty four and forty five of his book. Isaiah declares in the name of God, I say to Cyrus, he is my shepherd who fulfills my wishes. He will tell Jerusalem to be rebuilt and the temple to be established. Thus says God about his Messiah Cyrus. God grasped his right hand to subdue nations before him and ungird the loins of kings so that you will know that I am God, the Lord of Israel who calls you by name. I have called you by name for the sake of my servant Jacob and my chosen one Israel. I am God and there is none other. There is no God beside me. I have strengthened you, though you did not know me, So that it will be known from east to west that there is none beside me. Proclamation issued by Cyrus the great in fulfillment of Jeremiah's prophecy is recorded in the beginning of the book of Ezra. In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, fulfilling God's word by the mouth of Jeremiah, God aroused the goodwill of Cyrus to proclaim, and he put it in writing as well, saying, so says Cyrus, of Persia, all the kingdoms of earth has Hashem, god of heaven delivered to me. And he has commanded me to build him a temple in Jerusalem, which was which is in Judah. Anyone among you of his entire people, may god be with you. Let them go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the temple of Hashem, the god of Israel in Jerusalem. He is the god. We have no prophecy today. God does not articulate his plans through the mouths of human beings, but he has other ways of communicating. I'm no prophet, and I could be wrong. But it seemed seems obvious to me that on Shabbat July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, and in front of the eyes of the entire world, God's voice was heard loud and clear to anyone whose ears were open, and he chose the second non Jewish messiah, not to redeem the world. That job is reserved for the Jewish messiah who was a direct descendant of King David and his son Solomon. But like the first non Jewish messiah Cyrus, who was chosen to assist the Jews in reestablishing themselves in the land of Israel after the seventy year exile in Babylon, the current non Jewish messiah was chosen to be of service to the Jewish people and the Jewish Messiah. President Trump's right ear was grazed in a symbolic gesture of Exodus twenty one six, where the Torah states that a servant who wants to remain with his master needs to have his right ear pierced. Trump was designated as god's servant and anointed one, just like Cyrus the great almost twenty four hundred years ago. We have clarified in several videos that the absolute deadline for the redemption is by the end of the Jewish year five thousand seven hundred and eighty seven, which corresponds to October second twenty twenty seven, one thousand one hundred and sixty seven days from today. Thus, the redemption will surely occur during Donald Trump's tenure. And I have good reason to believe Donald Trump was chosen to be the one to redeem the sins of Asaph through offering his assistance in rebuilding the holy temple on the Temple Mount and establishing the Jewish kingdom over all of mankind in Jerusalem. Perhaps it is no accident that the numeric value of Donald Trump in Hebrew is the same as messiah, son of David, Mashiach ben David, 424. However, Donald Trump is mistaken if he thinks he was chosen to make America great again. He will no doubt do a lot of good things to strengthen our economy, protect our borders, and allow religious freedom to flourish. But America will never become a gate country on its own because Aesop's days are numbered. All our elite institutions and centers of power and influence are rotten through and through. The majority of Americans 30 who are college educated and who are the future leaders of America support the vicious monsters of Hamas rather than the holy and courageous soldiers of the IDF. No human being, even Donald Trump, can reverse this. No. The greatness of America does not lie in its own success. America will will be great when the Messiah comes, and the leader of this country, on behalf of all the good people in this country, will humbly present himself to the Jewish Messiah and ask him to accept The United States Of America into a new alliance of countries who accept the leadership of the Messiah. A new United Nations will replace the current cesspool that goes by that fraudulent name. A real United Nations united to serve God, led by the Messiah and based in Jerusalem. And my feeling is that The United States under president Trump will be the first nation to join. The meaning of the MAGA movement needs to be adjusted. America was a great idea, but it was never realized. When the American government under FDR chose not to lift a finger to save the Jews from Hitler's inferno, America was not great. They slammed the door shut even to Jews who miraculously were able to escape from the clutches of Nazi Germany. How great was that? When the state of Israel in its infancy was attacked by six Arab armies assisted by British antisemites, America refused to send Israel even one single bullet. How great was that? And during the six day war, America sent a spy ship, the USS Liberty, to the Mediterranean to relay vital military information to Israel's enemies. How great was that? And ever since, The United States has been tying Israel's hands and forcing them to make cease fires and suicidal concessions to their enemies time after time. No. America was not that great in the past. It may have been on the path to becoming so, but those hopes were permanently dashed by the infiltration of extreme left wing pro Islamic anti Semitic professors and influencers who dominate all elite universities, major news outlets, and other centers of power. Thanks in no small part to the funding of Qatar and in the past also Saudi Arabia, as well as left wing millionaires and billionaires. America was not great in the past, specifically in relation to its support of Israel. And the shameless Biden administration has brought America to its lowest depths in in its relationship to God's holy people and God's holy land. President Trump could change some of that, but he cannot stop the universities from indoctrinating another generation with sickening woke ideology and anti Israel propaganda. He cannot stop the tens of thousands of pathetic Islamic students littering all elite universities with their filthy anti Semitic slogans. He cannot stop them because they're not illegal immigrants. He can't stop them because the constitution grants them the freedom to spew their venom and harass Jewish students. No. Although Trump can make America safer and more prosperous, he cannot make America great. And that is not what he was chosen for. I believe he has a much greater historic role. The founding fathers were deeply deeply influenced by the Jewish bible and its verses are quoted in their writings more often than any other book. They would have been appalled by the knowledge that eventually that very same book, which was their source of inspiration, would be banned in all government funded institutions of learning and be replaced with a godless, immoral, asinine, and antisemitic ideology. It is no accident that Trump was anointed by God in Pennsylvania where the Declaration of Independence was signed. God is mentioned three times in the Declaration of Independence of the very foundation of our republic. God is mentioned in the pledge of allegiance and God appears on all American currency. Constitutions of 46 out of 50 states also explicitly mentioned God. The liberty bell proudly displayed next to Independence Hall was cast with the statement, proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof, echoing Leviticus twenty five ten. And the fact that this earth shattering event occurred in a little village called Butler is also significant because that is exactly what I believe president Trump was anointed for. A butler is devoted to serve and assist in the management of the home, which is the futuristic role of Asaph in relation to Jacob, to serve and assist in the management of Messiah's household, which will be the entire planet Earth. As we mentioned earlier, based on the prophecies of Isaac and Rebecca, patriarchs and matriarchs of the Jewish people and reiterated in Isaiah's famous prophecy in 4923. The MAGA movement needs to be tweaked from make America great again to make America godly again. Donald Trump has taken the first step by proclaiming to the whole world that which is clear to anyone who wishes to see. The entire episode on Shabbat of July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania was clearly orchestrated by god. The fact that a 20 year old kid was able to bypass the secret service, which is one of the most professional security teams in the world, was clearly orchestrated from above. And the fact that president Trump turned his head a mere second before the shot grazed his ear was clearly miraculous. I believe this man was chosen to be the one to represent Western society in greeting the messiah in Jerusalem, chosen to bow his head in humility to Mashiach and to offer America's complete unconditional assistance to completely eradicate all of the enemies of the Jews and of God and in the establishment of the eternal kingdom of Messiah son of David, who will lead all of mankind to lead moral and holy lives. Yesterday, July 20 was Shabbat, and in every synagogue in the world, Jews read Numbers chapter 24, where it was specifically a non Jewish prophet, Balaam, who was chosen to proclaim in the name of God almost 3,300 ago. I see it, but not now. I perceive it, but not in the near future. A star shall go forth from Jacob, and a staff shall arise in Israel, crushing their enemies and dominating all of mankind. Happening. And this sheds an incredible light into their true intentions, into their true belief system. Interesting. The Trump family and his whole organization has been well connected to not only the Orthodox Jews, the Hasidic Jews in particular. In New York obviously, there's a nexus between the Jews here and the Jews in Israel, but also into the deep state of Israel, which would be Mas'a'a. And so it's difficult for most believers to comprehend because on one hand we're called to, you know, the Lord said that He will bless those who blesses Israel and He will curse those who curses Israel and yet at the same time, they are a people in rebelling against God, just like The United States Of America. Yeah. True. Hedonistic to the hilt, right? They are accepting and embracing and promoting everything that is filthy and abominable to God. They're doing there. And so that's why God ultimately will judge the nations and He'll judge Israel in the time of Jacob's trouble. There you go. Fascinating. What a world we live in today. What a time we live in today. It's How about amazing. Wow. But it indicates, it reveals the deception of believers in the church who are also mistakenly placing their hope and faith and trust in a man, Donald Trump, to rescue and redeem America. Yeah. And the false idea that Bethel has, the Kingdom Now folks have, that have infiltrated into a lot of our churches today, maybe just a little bit or a lot, depending on how much they're allowed to to to bring their their false ways of believing, which is not biblically sound. Like the prosperity gospels with Kenneth Copeland and Kenneth Hagin and the different ones that are saying that God wants you wealthy. He wants you healed. And, of course, God, you know, the stripes were taken for our healing. But it's not for us to tell God what to do. It's for His sovereignty to do as he wills. We need to remember that that that the Bible itself is is true and not to add to it, not to to manipulate it. Right. Don't feel beyond what is written. Yeah. And how important that is. That's why we're here today to try to, bring people out of, exception. What what characters are qualified for being president in The United States? Well, it's a circus. It is. I was gonna say it might be stepping on some toes, but we're equal opportunity offenders. Right? And it is really the uni party, so we can trust trust in the Lord. How It's about stage managed, it's orchestrated, and it can be substantiated. It's actually part of the agenda to confuse and divide. It's part of the Hegelian dialectic. And so we can be assured of this one thing that regardless of who is elected or selected or appointed to be our next president supposedly leader of the free world All of these agendas will move forward at breakneck speed as we return full speed to paganism, full speed back to babble. Babble. And that's where I wanted to kind of circle back and look at Revelation chapter 18 verse 23. So, as we're talking about all these things forming, all these different things that are gonna become paganism, the Babylonian, where it says in Revelation, the the fall of of Babylon The Great. So these things will form. They will become, put together and and the world will be rejoicing in its prosperity of Babel or paganism. But it does say in Revelation chapter 18 that this Babel Babylon The Great will fall. And it's do you wanna read that? Was gonna say just 18 and just going until you feel like we've covered it. Okay. We've covered it. Right, so Revelation 18, this is John speaking, his vision. He says, After these things, I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become the habitation of devils and the hold of every foul spirit and cage of every unclean and hateful bird. Wow, that's an incredible picture spiritually and physically. For all nations, verse three, have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. This is referring back to chapter 17 of course where we see a woman rides the beast. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her. Alright? So they've done this spiritually. They've done this politically. They've done this economically. Yep. Monetarily. And the merchants of the earth are waxed rich. There you go. Through the abundance of her delicacies. Alright. And I heard another voice from heaven saying, come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins and that you receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached into heaven and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you and double unto her double according to her works in the cup which she hath filled to her double. It's filled up. It's filled up. So we see God's judgment now is about to be poured out. How much she has glorified herself, verse seven, and lived deliciously. What is Does that very about describe our world today? Mhmm. So much torment and sorrow give her for she said in her heart, I sit a queen and am no widow and shall see no sorrow. Very confident in themselves. Absolutely. Pride. Pride goes before The destruction and a haughty spirit before, yep. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death and mourning and famine and she shall be utterly burned with fire for strong is the Lord who judges her. Amen. For strong is the lord who judges her. And at first night, the kings of the earth who have committed fornication and lived viciously with her, these are all elite. They're allied together. They're conspiring together. They're they're part of the united nation and every global think tank that is uniting mankind Yeah. Under the coming antichrist. They shall bewail her and it meant for her when they shall see the smoke of her burning. And they will stand to the para for the fear of her torment saying, alas, alas, that great sea bowed upon that mighty sea for in one hour is thy judgment come. And some Bible commentators have wrongly said well the European Union is the 10 nations. Well that's far more than 10 nations. It makes far more sense now that it's 10 regions of the globe broken up as the club of Rome did with a map. They have a map. Showing these 10 regions, 10 kings, if you will. But in Europe, many parliament buildings and many official buildings, they have statues of women riding the beast or taking the bull by the horns. Oh, yeah. And so this ties back into mythology. This one article says, have you seen a statue of a female figure riding a bull somewhere near a European institution or did it look more like the woman was being violently kidnapped? Maybe it attracted your attention when paying with a Greek €2 coin or you noticed it on a drawing while browsing through, Europe's web portal. And so, this is on coins, it's on stamps, Vicki you can probably cut in some images for but the viewers to it's fascinating tie in that biblical prophecy is right here in plain sight and women have been portrayed speaking of the Olympic ceremony this year as an occult ritual of sorts. Women riding the beast have been portrayed in many other grand spectacles before live audiences including at Super Bowl forty nine I think it was, where Katy Perry rode into the bowl? She was on, it was actually a great big mechanical golden lion. Oh, a lion. That's right. But she was wearing a a a dress called the flame dress, kind of like the Hunger Games. And I was a flame dress and she had come into the stadium kind of on a shooting star of sorts and then she alighted on top of this golden beast, a woman riding the beast. Wow. And then we had another incident Fire by devil. At the London Commonwealth Games held in London and again there was a giant mechanical bull that was actually an object of worship so they were bowing down before Baal as it were and a woman alighted on top of this mechanical bull and rode the beast. Wow. So we can see that the elite are wittingly or unwittingly following the pathetic model Yeah. Through their occult Wow. Worship. It's high hiding in plain sight and this is And most people are oblivious. Oblivious to it. But it's right from the pages of scripture. Interesting. Revelation chapter 18. We're gonna look at part two of the topic Lights Out in chapter 18 verses nine through 24 this morning. Would you please stand with me as we read God's holy word together, Revelation chapter 18 verses nine through 24. And the kings of the earth who have committed fornication live deliciously with her, shall bewail her and lament for her when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment saying, alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city for in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her for no man buys their merchandise anymore. The merchandise of gold and of silver and precious stones and of pearls and of fine linen and of purple and silk and scarlet and all thine wood and all manner vessels of ivory and all manner vessels of most precious wood and of brass and iron and marble and cinnamon and odors and ointments and frankincense and wine and oil and fine flour and wheat and beasts and sheep and horses and chariots and slaves and souls of men. And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee and all things which were dainty and goodly and departed from thee and thou shall find them no more at all. The merchants of these things which were made rich by her shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment weeping and wailing and saying, alas alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls for a one hour so great riches has come to naught and every shipmaster and all the company and ships and sailors and many as trade by the sea stood afar off and cried when they saw the smoke of her burning saying, what city is like under this great city? And they cast dust on their heads and cried weeping and wailing saying, alas, alas, that great city wherein were made rich, all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness for one hour is she made desolate. Rejoice over her, thou heaven and ye holy apostles and prophets for God has avenged you on her. And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea saying, thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down and shall be found no more at all. And the voice of harpers and musicians and the pipers and trumpeters shall be heard no more at all in thee. And no craftsman of whatsoever craft he be shall be found anymore in thee, and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee. And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee, and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee. For thy merchants were the great men of the earth, for thy sorceries were all nations deceived, and in her was found the blood of the prophets and of the saints and of all that were slain upon the earth. Father, we thank you once again for your holy word. Lord, we thank you that we're not walking in darkness, but that we're children of light walking in the light. And Lord, your word is a light unto our path, Lord. And we thank you for this, Lord. We ask that you would illumine our hearts and minds, that you'd open the scriptures to our understanding, that you lead and guide us into all truth. We thank you for the prophetic picture that you lay out here in Revelation 18, Lord. And we pray that as we look ahead, Lord, that we would take stock, that we take inventory of our lives, that we'd evaluate the temporariness of how we are now and Lord that of eternity, that we prepare accordingly. We pray Lord that we'd have heavenly values and Lord we'd not value the things of men, the things that you consider to be an abomination. So blessed now we pray in Jesus name. Amen. Would you please be seated? It's lights out for Babylon. God has allowed men to choose their eternal destiny from the very beginning of civilization. Like Adam and Eve in the Garden Of Eden, the men of the last days will be faced with a decision. The same decision each and every person throughout history has been faced with. The decision to love God or not to love God. God gives us free moral agency, the power of choice. And God put Adam and Eve within the garden, he gave them two trees there. The first tree, the tree of knowledge and good and evil and many people choose to partake of the tree of knowledge and good and evil in the material realm and they're fine with that. For others of us, we realize that we've sinned, we've fallen short and and we look for that second tree, that tree that's called Calvary, the tree where God provides a second chance. And we come to that tree in humility and we worship and serve our our great savior Jesus Christ who died upon the cross of Calvary, was buried, raised himself from the dead, ascended right hand of the father and is coming again soon. So we're preparing, we're watching, we're ready, we're children of light. We don't wanna fall into that darkness. And so the choice Adam and Eve made is illustrated in the physical material around by two trees. The first tree was the forbidden tree of the knowledge and good and evil. A tree that was good for food, a tree pleasant to the eyes, a tree desired to make one wise. By partaking of this tree, Adam and Eve chose to love self rather than love God supremely. The tree served to expose the true desires of their hearts. God wanted Adam and Eve's hearts. He wanted their supreme love over everything and everyone else. But God revealed, as I said, another tree to Adam and Eve, the tree of Calvary, the tree of the second chance. The only tree in a forest of trees where men can receive a second chance. Maybe this morning you need a second chance, maybe a third chance. The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time. Samson's hair began to grow back. All the patriarchs, we all see their their failings, their fainting fits just as you and I, we can relate without the help of the Holy Spirit, without the finished work of Jesus Christ, without knowing that he's our justification, we're never gonna make it. But we thank the Lord for the promise that being confident in this very thing that he that has begun a good work in us that he's gonna perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Without promises like that, none of us would ever make it because we lose hope in that we try to trust in ourselves. Having started in the spirit, we try to finish it in the flesh and we can't do it. We keep falling. So we're thankful that the cross of Calvary reminds us that God's a God of the second chance, the third chance, the fourth chance, whatever. And so the only tree in a forest of trees where men can receive a second chance. Fig leaves won't do. The Towers Of Babel won't reach heaven. Ishmael cannot save and Isaac shall thy seed be called. Babylon the greatest fallen has fallen and the cries of men upon the earth are not the cries of repentance notice. But instead the cries of those who know it's lights out. They know it's over. It's lights out. Judgments come. The worldly sorrow of those who have lost everything including eternal life because they continually here's why, because they continually all their lifelong choose to partake of the tree of knowledge and good and evil and reject the tree of life, the cross of Calvary. God gives a person to the point in time that he dies to choose life, to choose the cross of Calvary. Over and over again, a person if they wanna make it into hell, they have to continue to reject God's love, continue to live for self over and over and over again, And people think somehow that their life has meaning and purpose because they have things. And yet as we see here, all those things are gonna be gone as in a moment, it's gonna be lights out. We're gonna see where, you know, you enter into eternity and it's it's all, know, naked came into the world. Job said, naked, I'm gonna go. The Lord giveth, the Lord take it away. You never see as it's been said, a U Haul truck following a hearse. It's not gonna happen. And so you can't take it with you. So you gotta send it on ahead if you will and value the eternal things. So we saw last week, we saw a voice condemning. Secondly, a voice commanding in verses four through eight. And this morning, a voices crying verses nine through 19. Notice the first voices that are crying are the voices of the monarchs. The monarchs cry. Verse nine, and the kings of the earth who have committed fornication and live deliciously with her shall bewail her and lament for her when they shall see the smoke of her burning. So the the monarchs, the kings of the earth were in bed with the Antichrist with the beast and his beast system if you will. And everybody was benefiting from it and all. Three kings fought against the Antichrist and lost. So there were seven, the beast becomes the eighth and they thought they had it made a utopian age and this guy's leading them into that, but they have no idea in that they wiped out the religious side of it after the three and a half years. But they have no inclination, no understanding that eventually it was gonna become payday for them where God would cause it to be lights out for the city and what it symbolized, what it represented under them. In Matthew sixteen twenty six, Jesus said, what's it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what would a man give an exchange for his soul? So how value how valuable is your soul? Your your soul is so valuable to God that he sent his only begotten son to die upon the cross of Calvary that his blood would be shed to pay for your soul. Your soul that was headed to hell. And the Lord is the only one that could relieve you. The Lord is the only one that could rescue you and deliver you, bringing forth salvation by his death, by his crucifixion, his burial, his resurrection, and proving it by raising himself from the dead and ascending the right hand of the father and he's coming again. And the globalist, the worldly people, know, they must know because they're all converged near Basra Petra to try and keep the Lord Jesus from returning after Babylon's destroyed. They get in anger, they go after Jerusalem and they're almost defeated, but they win, they prevail over the Jews and then the Jews are fleeing to Basra, present day Jordan out of Petra. And all of the armies of the Antichrist, these people are so angry, they can't go to Babylon, they can only look at it from afar off. Could be some sort of a nuclear detonation, something going on to where they they can't even get close to it. They're wailing, you know, as they look from a distance, if you will. And then their anger, they're gonna go after the Jews. They're gonna go after the apple of God's eye. They wanna kill any believers, any Christians, anybody that doesn't have the mark of the beast in the right hand of their forehead. They're they're gonna wanna genocide in that way. But in their insanity, they're gonna try and stop Jesus from returning. That's how insane these people are. But when they when they the realization of what they've done hits them, you know, they can't they can't even comprehend it. It's it's it's over the top for them there. I mean, of these guys, they're weeping and wailing. They're crying. They're brought to tears because they lost all their stuff. And last week as we said, remember in the nineteen twenty nine great depression in America, you didn't see the poor people jumping out of buildings. It's the rich. It's those who invested and put all their eggs in one basket and didn't prepare for eternity. When it's all taken as in a moment, when the stock market goes down, boy, people can't cope. Their whole life, whole identity is based upon stuff, based upon things in the material realm. And it's not relationships, it's not spiritual relationships, they're real relationships. Verse 10, standing afar off for the fear of her torment saying, alas alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city for one hour is thy judgment come. And so this city, literal Babylon that's gonna be built along the Euphrates River in present day Iraq is gonna be built pretty quickly So to the temple in Jerusalem somehow. So it's been said that the craftsman, the construction workers and engineers and all those that can build are gonna be paid a huge amount of monies, if you will, and from all over the world to come and build this city and everybody's going to benefit from it. The merchants, the monarchs, the mariners, everybody and the people of the world. The poor people aren't, the poor people are gonna be subjugated by the rich. We'll see that more and more as time goes on. But Revelation seventeen sixteen it says, these shall hate the whore which speaks of these monarchs, these kings, they hated the religious system. They rode the committed fornication with the religious system, committed fornication and getting to bed with the beast. But once the usefulness of the apostate church is over, they desecrate the church sees assets and all. So they think with the economic and political side of it in Babylon still are operational and the religious system becoming that of Luciferian of that of worshiping the devil and that of worshiping the beast and the image of the beast. They think they've got it made, they think they won, but they can only watch and cry as the political economic Babylon is destroyed because once again it's lights out. Now God prophesied of this in Isaiah chapter 21 verse nine says, Babylon has fallen, has fallen and all the graven images of her gods, little g gods, he has broken under the ground. And so Babylon has been the origin of Babel to the present has been this epicenter of idolatrous worship of images and all that of idolatry. And the and the bible likens it to spiritual adultery or spiritual fornication. These kings have committed fornication in that way, and they're worshiping of these graven images. And and so now it's it's their comeuppance. It's time where God is flipping the switch if you will. So we see the voices crying, the monarchs crying. Notice secondly, the merchants crying. Verse 11, and the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her for no man buys their merchandise anymore. And so Costco, the acronym, the Chinese Overseas Trading Company. Everything we get into Costco, I love Costco, but everything comes from China, doesn't it? And along with Walmart, along with Sears, Ford, Mercedes, Boeing, Starbucks, Facebook, Bank of America, Chase, Amazon, Google. Have I left any out? There's lots of them out there. All these major major corporations, these companies, these merchants who are getting wealthier and wealthier and wealthier and they're getting so intoxicated in their wealth. They're talking about going to the moon to get water, know. And these these guys just have more money than they know what to do with. They wield their money by supporting politicians, who support more and more evil, more and more angst against Christianity and God's people and all. And the funding of abortion, the funding of human trafficking and just horrible horrible things that the Bible is gonna bring out in this chapter. We're gonna see those whose souls these guys own. They own the souls of people. Slavery has been around forever and it's never gonna stop until Jesus, the great emancipator delivers each and every one of us from the slavery of sin and of death and of exploitation by by other people. People exploit one another and that's not hard to understand. We've seen it throughout history. Verse 12, the merchandise of gold and of silver and of precious stones, and of pearls and of fine linen, and purple and silk and scarlet and off iron wood and all manner vessels of ivory. So you've got ships, you know, big yachts and stuff, and the the wealth. A lot of these things are the luxury items. And it's not it's not the things for the poor people, know, it's the things of the luxuries of the very wealthy. And all manner of vessels of most precious wood and of brass and iron and marble, so the luxury is not the necessities. Verse 13, and cinnamon and odors and ointments and frankincense and wine and olive oil and all. It's interesting to me how much we love the cooking shows and we love the different ways, nuances of cooking food and preparing food and types of foods and we're a culture that I've never been in places where you're doing the wine and all that, but I mean the wines, the oils, the odors, the cinnamons, all the different spices, all the different delicacies if you will, that are available to those who are wealthy at this time. And the distribution, the way that Amazon's able to distribute this all over the world, you know, to pretty soon they're gonna be doing it with drones they're saying, deliver right to your house, won't need UPS or the mail or anything. And and find flour and wheat and beasts and sheep and horses and chariots. So think of the cars, know, the various chariots, know, I'm into that. And slaves and souls of men. I mean, the marketing of slaves and souls of men during the tribulation period. Now that shouldn't be anything that comes as a shock to us because we keep hearing of human trafficking. We keep hearing of slaves. You know, all over the world there are slaves. There are people exploited by the wealthy. And in Saudi Arabia and a lot of foreign countries where slavery is kind of kind of accepted, if you will. Now at the time of this writing, one third of Rome lived lives of being enslaved. You remember Paul appealed that he was a Roman citizen, that he was free born. That was that was very very important because one third of the Roman Empire, the people were slaves. It's not uncommon for 10,000 people to be auctioned off in one day during this Roman Empire. 10,000 people to be auctioned off in just one day. 60,000,000 slaves throughout the Roman Empire. And so slavery was was, you know, embedded within this whole culture, this Roman Greek, Jewish culture if you will. So you say slavery again, the exploitation of children, the most vulnerable. Pornography, prostitution, boys and girls. We're watching the laws changing dramatically. We're watching the breakdown of the family. We're watching the sex trafficking and the pedophilia. We're watching the normalization of pedophilia. We're watching the laws the same way the laws were changed to allow homosexuality, lesbianism, transgenderism, you know all these different isms if you will. The same way all these laws have changed and then they reach a place of actual preferential, you know, privileges if you will, because they see themselves as minorities within society. And yet it's, you know, slavery, no if ands or buts about it is evil. The same way we heard, Lord. The same way we responded. Allow us to reinvest in the lives of others, Lord. Lord, we pray for a great harvest. We pray we'd see the fields wide on the harvest just as you see them. And, Lord, we pray for the Lord of the harvest to send forth more laborers into the harvest, Lord, in the highways and the byways, Lord. Lord, save our family members first. Save our friends, our neighbors, our community. Lord, let us be your witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the uttermost. Lord, God, anoint and use us in these last days. Lord, we're so frail. You know our frailty. You remember that you fashioned us from the dust of the ground, Lord. You're not surprised when we fall. Lord, we thank you that you're the God of the second chance, the third chance. You never fail. Lord, we need you. We need your help. Equip us, strengthen us, refresh us, fill us with your love and your holy spirit today. Use our lives today for your kingdom and glory. In Jesus' name, pray. Amen. May the lord bless you.
