Revelation 18:1-3
New International Version (NIV)
After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. With a mighty voice he shouted:
“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons
and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal. For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,
and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”
If we were to recall Babylon, we will remember Nebuchadnezzar-the proud king who became insane, who ate grass like a cow as a punishment from God.Daniel foretold him, "your kingdom will fall" and it surely did! When we mention Babylon we remember 'Babel'. The proud people, who were filled with evil intentions of their hearts and were finally scattered forever by God.They could never ever come together again to do evil on earth.
Just who is this Babylon now?
Revelation 17:4-6
New International Reader's Version (NIRV)
The woman was dressed in purple and bright red. She was gleaming with gold, jewels and pearls. In her hand she held a golden cup filled with things that God hates. It was filled with her terrible, dirty sins. 5 Here is the name that was written on her forehead.
Mystery,
the great city of Babylon
the Mother of Prostitutes
the Mother of everything on earth that God hates
1) "..a golden cup filled with things that God hates"
2) "..the Mother of everything on earth that God hates"
We have been living a lie of the Devil all this while that God does not hate anything in this world.That God accepts everything as they are. That's a lie of the Devil. God hates 'Babylon' who is the Mother of everything that God hates because she has a golden cup filled with things that God hates. We have been told a lie that God does not hate anything on this earth. Wake up!
