Subject: The Greatest City On Earth

From: Bobby Garner

"And the woman whom you saw is the great city, having a kingdom over the
kings of the earth." ~ Revelation 17:18
"The great city" appears 10 times in the book of Revelation. The
first occurrence (11:8) specifically identifies it as Jerusalem, the
place "where our Lord was crucified".
The second occurrence identifies it "saying, The great city, Babylon,
has fallen". Note the capitalized 'T'.
Each occurrence of 'great city' is preceded by the definite article
'the'. This means that it isn't just
any old great city. The definite article 'the' points to a particular
'great city'. Namely, "Babylon the Great". Ancient Babylon is a
place on the map of present day Iraq, but it is not a significant city
and
certainly not a 'great city' with anything like the world wide
influence attributed to Babylon the Great.
"And I saw a woman sitting on a
scarlet beast, filled with names of blasphemy, having seven heads and
ten horns. And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and being
gilded with gold and precious stone and pearls, having a golden cup in
her hand, filled with abominations and unclean things of her
fornication. And on her forehead was a name having been written:
Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of the Harlots and of the
Abominations of the Earth." ~ Revelation 17:3-5
Jerusalem is the
greatest city on the face of the earth according to millions who hope
for or expect even more greatness yet to come. Furthermore, her
influence is felt the
world over, and many nations curry her favor and help to protect her
identity. The Jewish Rothschild
banking dynasty controls the worlds
finance according to some research.
The Bible specifically identifies Jerusalem as, "the
great city, which spiritually is called Sodom, and Egypt, where our
Lord was crucified".
Most
attempts to identify Babylon the Great as "false religion", a
government or some larger geographical area are made by people
(Christian Zionists usually) who dream of a yet greater role for
Jerusalem. It isn't going to happen, or if it does, it will be short
lived.
Following are all ten occurrences of "the great
city" in the context of its usage:
Revelation 11:8 And their bodies will be on the street
of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom, and
Egypt, where our Lord was crucified. (this is the first
occurrence)
21:10 And he carried me in spirit on to a great and high
mountain, and showed me the great city, holy Jerusalem, coming
down out of Heaven from God. (this is the last occurrence)
Rev. 14: 8 And another angel followed, saying, The great
city, Babylon, has fallen, has fallen because of the wine of the
anger of her fornication she made all nations to drink.
16: 19 And the great city came to be into three parts,
and the cities of the nations fell. And Babylon the great was
remembered before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the anger
of His wrath.
17: 18 And the woman whom you saw is the great city,
having a kingdom over the kings of the earth.
18: 9 ¶ And the kings of the earth will weep for her, and will
wail over her, those having fornicated and having luxuriated with her,
when they see the smoke of her burning;
10 standing from afar because of the fear of her torment, saying,
Woe! Woe to the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in
one hour your judgment came.
[...]
16 and saying, Woe! Woe to the great city having been
clothed in linen and purple and scarlet, and having been gilded with
gold and precious stone, and pearls!
17 For in one hour such great wealth was desolated. And every
ship-pilot and all company on the ships, and sailors, and as many as
work the sea, stood from afar,
18 and cried out, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What
is like the great city?
19 And they threw dust on their heads, and cried out, weeping and
mourning, saying, Woe! Woe to the great city, by which all
those having ships in the sea were rich, from her costliness, because
in one hour she was ruined.
20 Rejoice over her, Heaven, and the holy apostles, and the
prophets, because God judged your judgment on her.
21 And one strong angel lifted a stone like a great millstone,
and threw it into the sea, saying, This way, on a violent impulse,
Babylon the great city will be thrown down, and it will never
more still be found.
22 And the sound of harpers, and of musicians, and flutists, and
of trumpeters will not still be heard in you, never! And every
craftsman of every craft will not still be found in you, never! And the
sound of a mill will not still be heard in you, never!
23 And the light of a lamp will not at all still shine in you.
And the voice of the bridegroom and bride will never more be heard in
you. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, for by your
sorcery all the nations were led astray.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and
of all the ones having been slain on the earth.
Of the ten instances of "the great city", the first is
the one in the Middle East "where our Lord was crucified" and the last
is a "new" Jerusalem "coming down out of Heaven from God".
The eight instances in between all refer to Babylon
the Great.
Todays modern state of Israel is "filled with
abominations and unclean things of her
fornication" with Babylonish gods. It is fornication because she
presents herself to the world as "Gods chosen people". Nothing could be
further from the truth. The state of Israel, far from being a
theocratic state, loaths theocracy and is a secular humanist entity
based on a political philosophy known as Zionism. It preys on those who
identify with the ancient religion known as Judaism, and that is the
source of its power and influence (see JUDAISM
VERSUS ZIONISM).
The principles of the Babylonian Talmud (CE 200-500) are
the Holy Grail of Zionism. Its a collection of the "oral traditions"
which Jesus accused the Pharisees of using to oppress the people
(Matthew 15).

Posted on RMN by Striderus: ISRAEL'S POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY KNOWN AS ZIONISM GETS COOKED Thanks.
The Mystery of Babylon, PART TEN: "They have perverted or changed Yahweh's ways, and the symbol of this perversion is a market measure. They were to be tillers and toilers in the land; they have become merchants and money lenders throughout the earth." ~ THE VISION OF THE EPHAH
Addendum:
Something I didn't mention in the email is the significance of number symbology. Of the ten instances of "the great city", the first is identified as the literal city of Jerusalem. The tenth is the new heavenly Jerusalem, and the eight in between are associated with the name Babylon. The Babylonian Talmud is one of the primary connections between Zionist Israel and ancient Babylon.
So we see three identities for "the great city" and the second one is emphasized with a capital 'T' (a similar emphasis is clear in other translations). Now the fourth instance says that "the great city came to be into three parts". I'm thinking that this is a reference to the three different identities, or three parts of the whole, the whole being sovereignty, rulership or kingdom. The modern day state of Israel certainly does see itself as the new center of the world with its new Temple as the focal point for moral justice according to Talmudic Law. Many True Believers also see Israel to be the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
The esoteric symbology of the number 8 also seems fitting to describe the attributes of the present system under the global influence of Zionism (Babylon the Great): "Achievement, abundance, executive, strength, self-disciplined, power, success, authority, psychology, entrepreneur, intensity, supervisor, provider, grandeur, material manifestor."
The number ten, or zero (tenth instance) means: "Limitless, Unknowable, No-thing, Boundless, Truth, Purity, Love, All, Alpha and Omega, Possibility, First Cause, Unmanifest, Breath of God, Unified Field, Source, Space, Consciousness, Cosmic Egg, God."
The historical progression of the exercise of sovereignty starts with Nimrod's Babylon, then to the earthly representation of God's sovereignty (though never exercised as such), the ancient city of Jerusalem. Now the exercise of sovereignty is presently held by the global Zionist as if "having a kingdom over the kings of the earth", primarily through her influence over the dominant Anglo American world power. This will soon be followed by the "holy Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God" under the heavenly king, God's own son (Jesus Christ), the firstborn who has been given the sovereign right to rule in the earth for a thousand years.
