Have you ever heard the term “Mystery Babylon”? This phrase is used to describe a wicked “female” entity in the book of Revelation. Revelation 17 portrays Mystery Babylon as a “great harlot” who sits on many waters and rides a scarlet beast that has seven heads and ten horns and is full of blasphemous names. “She” is also described as a “great city” that reigns over the “kings of the earth”.
Who or what is this woman or city depicted in Revelation 17 & 18?
Revelation 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, having seven heads and ten horns.
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Early in the history of humanity, as people repopulated the earth after the flood a number of people settled in the land of Shinar. Shinar is one of the cities in ancient Babylon founded by Nimrod, according to Genesis 10:9-10. In defiance of the One True God YHWH Elohim, the people conspired together, under the leadership of Noah’s wicked grandson Nimrod, to build a giant tower that reached to the Heavens. It was believed to be a Ziggurat, a pyramid whose purpose was to reach up to Heaven (stairway to Heaven).
Babel represents man’s first great rebellion against God.
Babylon is the most famous city from ancient Mesopotamia whose ruins lie in modern-day Iraq 59 miles (94 kilometers) southwest of Baghdad. The name is thought to derive from bav-il or bav-ilim which, in the Akkadian language of the time, meant ‘Gate of God’ or `Gate of the Gods’ and `Babylon’ coming from Greek.
What was will be again, there is nothing new under the sun (Ecc. 1:9). The ancient rebellion that happened near the beginning of time is happening again. The nations are once again gathering together in defiance of God (YHWH) to form a One World Kingdom, to create a “stairway to heaven”. This “end of days MYSTERY will culminate in what God (YHWH) calls the “MYSTERY of Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and abominations on the earth” (Rev. 17:5)!
ADULTERY AND ABOMINATIONS
Where do we see the term “harlot” (prostitute) used in the Bible? God uses this term as a metaphor to describe ISRAEL as His adulterous “wife”. To God, Israel’s IDOLATRY (the worship of other gods) is akin to spiritual ADULTERY because God (YHWH) is spiritually “MARRIED to Israel. The Mosaic Covenant is a spiritual MARRIAGE covenant.
Jeremiah 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them (Israel) by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:
Ezekiel 16: 15 “But you (Israel) trusted in your own beauty, played the harlot because of your fame, and poured out your harlotry on everyone passing by (other gods) who would have it. 16 You took some of your garments and adorned multicolored high places (bāmâ) for yourself, and played the harlot (prostitute) on them. Such things should not happen, nor be.
17 You have also taken your beautiful jewelry 💍from My gold and My silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself male images (baal 😈) and played the harlot with them.
YHWH divorced the Northern 10 Tribes of Israel (Jeremiah 3:8); however, HE is still married to the southern 2 Tribes, who also go by the name “Israel” or JUDAH.
In similar manner, Jesus Christ (the SON of God (YHWH)) is betrothed to the Church, the Bride of Christ through the NEW COVENANT.
Matthew 9:15: And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them✝️, and then shall they fast.
Ephesians 5: 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
In the Bible, abominations are always linked to IDOLATRY, or worship of idols, anything that is NOT YHWH Elohim. Babylon the Great, a MYSTERY, is the mother of harlots AND abominations. This Mystery that is Babylon APPEARS to be the ORIGIN for Israel and the world’s IDOLATRY, the place where it began (tower of babel) and has continued throughout the ages.
There have been many theories about the identity of Mystery Babylon in Revelation 17 and 18. In-fact, there have been entire books written on this subject. Because “she” is described as a great and wealthy city, some have thought that “Mystery Babylon” is New York City. Others think “she” is America, Mecca, or the Vatican. The Vatican is probably the most popular theory because like “Mystery Babylon”, the Vatican literally sits (is surrounded by) 7 hills (mountains). Those who subscribe to this theory consider the Vatican the “mother” of harlots and her “prostitute daughters” the Protestant Churches.
However, it is also true that the term “mountain” in apocalyptic literature usually refers to a KINGDOM. This interpretation is confirmed in Revelation 17:10.
Revelation 17:9: And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
Although the authors of these theories make some compelling arguments, there is a problem with all of them, they are too narrow in their scope. We see in Revelation 18, that “Mystery Babylon” is being held RESPONSIBLE by YHWH for the blood of the prophets, of the Saints, and of ALL who have been slain on the earth! WOW! Mystery Babylon is being held responsible for the slain blood of Abel in the Garden of Eden!!! This can’t be America, it can’t be the Vatican, it can’t even be Islam. It’s something more ancient. I’m not saying that the Vatican and Islam aren’t a part of Mystery Babylon, but Mystery Babylon has to be something that started at the very beginning, even before the Tower of Babel.
This entity (Mystery Babylon) existed at the time that Cain slayed Abel. Are we talking about the serpent, about the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? 😈
Revelation 18: 23 and the light of a lamp will not shine in you (Mystery Babylon) any longer; and the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer; for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
Whenever the Lord uses a similar phrase in different parts of the Bible, we need to sit up and take notice because somehow there is a connection between the two. In Rev. 18, God is holding this wicked “female entity” accountable for “ALL who have been slain on the earth”! Although this is shocking, it actually isn’t the first time that we see this phrase used in the Bible.
In Matthew 23, Jesus exposed the “leaven” (sin) of the Pharisees (“Jewish elite”) to the crowds of Jewish people. Jesus said something very sobering in this passage. He held the Scribes and the Pharisees accountable for ALL of the righteous blood shed on the earth, specifically going back to RIGHTEOUS ABEL!
Matthew 23: 34 “Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in YOUR synagogues, and persecute from city to city,
35 so that upon you may fall the guilt of ALL the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.36 Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
Jesus employed a remarkably similar phrase to characterize the Pharisees of His time, which we also encounter in Revelation 18 referencing Mystery Babylon. The parallels here seem too significant to be mere coincidence.
What is Jesus telling us about these pretend Jews, who are really from the Synagogue of Satan (Rev. 3:9)? What is He telling us about these “Jews” who Jesus compares to “their father”, the devil (John 8:44)?
Now we see that “Mystery Babylon” has not only infiltrated Christianity, but prior to that, Judaism! 😲
Who are the pretend Jews from the synagogue of Satan that seem to be a part of “Mystery Babylon”?
Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
To find the answer to this question we have to go back to the days of Moses, when YHWH led His people out of Egypt.
Exodus 12: 38 A mixed multitude also went up with them (with israel), along with flocks and herds, a very large number of livestock. 39 They baked the dough which they had brought out of Egypt into cakes of unleavened bread. For it had not become leavened, since they were driven out of Egypt and could not delay, nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves.
The Mixed multitude that ACCOMPANIED ISRAEL in the EXODUS complained about the manna that the Lord God provided for them in the desert. They (MIXED MULTITUDE) wanted meat to eat.
Numbers 11: 4: Now the mixed multitude who were among them (tfj: AMONG ISRAEL) yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: “Who will give us meat to eat? 5 We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; 6 but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!”
The mixed multitude that accompanied the Israelites, according to the Zohar (Soncino volume II page 191), were wicked Egyptians and did not eat manna:
“And who were the mixed multitude? Were they Lydians, Ethiopians, or Cyprians? Were they not all Egyptians, and did they not all come from Egypt? If they had consisted of a mixture of many different nations, would not the plural verb alu (went up) have been used instead of the singular ala (Ex. 12:38)?
“In fact, however, the mixed multitude consisted entirely of one people all the members of which spoke one language: namely, all the sorcerers of Egypt and all its magicians, as it is written, Then Pharaoh, for his part, summoned the wise men and the sorcerers; and the Egyptian magicians, in turn, did the same with their spells; (Ex. 7:11); for they wanted to oppose the wonderful works of the Holy One, blessed be He.“

Deuteronomy 22:11: “You shall not wear a material mixed of wool and linen together.
2 Corinthians 6:14: Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?
According to ancient Jewish writings, the Egyptian sorcerers were WITH the Israelites from the time that YHWH brought them out of Egypt (mixed multitude). Could these Egyptian sorcerers have been descendants of the Nephilim (Mixed fallen angels/human – Genesis 6)? The Nephilim were very evil hybrid beings who were present, both before and after the flood!
Did the “Egyptian sorcerers” later BECOME many of the Jewish Scribes and Pharisees, namely the ones who wanted to KILL the TRUE MESSIAH, Yeshua (Jesus)?
Were they the ones whom Jesus described as those who…. “Say that they are Jews, but are NOT for they LIE, they are from the synagogue of Satan?”
Rev. 3:9: Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Jesus called THESE PEOPLE children of the devil (John 8:44)! 😈Jesus said that they were RESPONSIBLE for ALL OF THE RIGHTEOUS SLAIN ON THE EARTH!
Jesus describes the PRETEND JEWS (Pharisees) who sought His Life with the exact same phrase that is used in Revelation 18 to describe Mystery Babylon!
Note: Not every Pharisee was a pretend Jew. But there WERE pretend Jews masquerading as some of the Scribes and Pharisees.
- PRETEND JEWS – We pondered above whether or not the MIXED MULTITUDE (EGYPTIAN SORCERERS) that accompanied Israel out of Egypt could be remnants of the Nephilim (demonic)/sons of the devil.🤔
- MYSTERY BABYLON – Many people believe that Nimrod of Babylon, Noah’s wicked grandson, may also have been a descendant of the Nephilim/sons of the devil.
Genesis 10: 8: Now Cush became the father of Nimrod; he became a mighty one on the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.”
In Genesis 10 above, the Hebrew word often translated ‘mighty’ (Strongs Heb number 1368) is used three times – twice in the compound ‘mighty hunter’ and once translated ‘warrior’ though many translations use the phrase ‘mighty one’. ‘The Hebrew root is commonly associated with warfare and has to do with the strength and vitality of the successful warrior’. It was used to describe the GIANT Goliath the Philistine in I Samuel 17:5 where the RSV translates it ‘champion’, and of those of David’s armies in I Chronicles 11:26-47.
But, the word is used in Genesis 6:4 with the Hebrew word for ‘man‘ to describe the offspring of the illicit union between angels and women. These were the ‘mighty men’ of old.
The inference here, then, is that Nimrod (OF BABYLON) was regarded as being more than merely a man. His strength was seen as being greater than the offspring of a man and woman could possess. It appears as though the blood of a fallen angel COULD HAVE BEEN flowing through his veins. It IS a possibility.
All the way back to the days of the Exodus, in-fact, all the way back to Isaac, YHWH did NOT want His people marrying the people from the land of Canaan where they worshipped the Nephilim and fallen angels as “gods”. God did NOT want darkness mixing with light!
Genesis 24:1: Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age; and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things. 2 So Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please, put your hand under my thigh,
3 and I will make you swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell; 4 but you shall go to my country and to my family, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”
Is it possible that this “Babylonian seed”, this seed that is “Mystery Babylon”, (Egyptian sorcerers) found its way into Jewish society, having mixed with some of the Jewish people who had made Exodus out of Egypt? Jesus definitely told the “Jewish” elite who desired to kill him that they were children of the devil, and that UPON THEM, the accountability for ALL of the SLAIN ON THE EARTH would fall! 😲
Revelation 3:9: Behold, I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie— I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and make them know that I have loved you.
We do not believe that “Mystery Babylon” is merely a literal place like Jerusalem, Mecca, New York City, America, or the Vatican. Rather, we believe that Mystery Babylon is called by that name because “her” roots can be found at the tower of Babel.
Mystery Babylon rides a beast with seven heads and ten horns. ”She” seems to be made up of the SORCERERS who have infiltrated both Judaism and Christianity and who have taken control of ALL of the world’s most powerful nations over the ages. In modern times, these sorcerers are known as the “deep state” or shadow governments of the world. These wicked people are described as “sons of the devil” and appear to be the spiritual seed of the serpent. It is also possible that some of these may even be the literal seed of the serpent (Nephilim), although that is not absolutely certain.
A tale of Two Cities 🏙️
Revelation 17:18 uses the word “city” as a metaphor. The Bible is a “tale of two cities” or a “tale of two seeds”. The two cities are “Jerusalem” (YHWH) and “Mystery Babylon (Satan)…two cities, two seeds, good seed/bad seed. These are metaphors for the entire cosmic conflict in the Bible between the seed of the woman (JESUS CHRIST) and the seed of the devil (antichrist).
The “evil city” originated in the Garden of Eden but really gained steam and organization around the time of Nimrod and Semiramis. Although Babylon and Jerusalem are both actual cities, the terms New Jerusalem and Mystery Babylon are being used as metaphors.
This is the “New Jerusalem” Vs “Mystery Babylon”/”Good Seed” vs “bad seed”.
The devil created this ugly “city” which is really not an actual city, but PAGANISM, DECEPTION and SORCERY. His goal is to weave this “city” as the “Mystery of Iniquity” into all NATIONS and RELIGIONS (both ancient and modern) in order for him to be worshiped via deception. 😈Mystery Babylon is the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth.
Mystery Babylon, mother of harlots and abominations on the earth
“She” has daughters who are called harlots because they are in Covenant with YHWH, but they have allowed idolatry, paganism and lies into their worship of YHWH. These are the “tares HIDDEN amongst the wheat”, secretly weaving idolatry (paganism) in with the truth. Note that the moment Christianity was “birthed” the “Mystery of Iniquity” was already at work (2 Thess. 2:7)!
Since Mystery Babylon is the mother of not only harlots but also abominations of the earth, she has “other” daughters. YHWH calls her “other daughters” “abominations” because they practice idolatry and are NOT in Covenant with Him and therefore have NO PORTION of the TRUTH. These “other daughters” include Islam, Paganism, Wicca, Buddhism, Hinduism, and all other religions.
Zechariah 5:5 Then the angel who was speaking with me went out and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes and see what this is GOING FORTH .” 6 I said, “What is it?” And he said, “This is the ephah going forth.” Again he said, “This is their appearance in all the land 7 (and behold, a lead cover was lifted up); and this is a WOMAN sitting inside the ephah.”
8 Then he said, “THIS IS WICKEDNESS!” 😈 And he threw her down into the middle of the ephah and cast the lead weight on its opening. 9 Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and there two women were coming out with the wind in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork (tfj: Unclean bird), and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.
10 I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the ephah?”11 Then he said to me, “To build a temple for her in the land of Shinar; and when it is prepared, she will be set there on her own pedestal.”
IS the wicked woman from Zechariah the same woman as the MYSTERIOUS Babylon the Great, the MOTHER of harlots and abominations from the book of Revelation?
The prophet Zechariah is writing about this unclean woman named Wickedness who is GOING FORTH, flown by two other “unclean women” (false religions) TO the land of SHINAR where she will be set on HER OWN PEDESTAL (given her own religion). Currently, WICKEDNESS is heavily concealed by a very heavy lead lid. Storks are migratory birds that return to their “roots”. What happened in the land of Shinar? This is the place where the first rebellion against YHWH took place, the tower of Babel!
It appears that these three unclean women are joining forces to create a single false religion in the place of their roots, the land of Shinar. The woman named WICKEDNESS will be placed on her OWN Pedestal! She will no longer be the TARES among the wheat. She will be EXPOSED! (and behold, a lead cover was lifted up)
The name Zechariah means “Yah has remembered” In Revelation 18, the scripture about ‘MYSTERY BABYLON”, the voice from Heaven says “GOD HAS REMEMBERED her iniquities!
Revelation 18:4:I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues; 5 for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities
It definitely appears that Zechariah is prophesying of 3 false religions (3 wicked/unclean “women”) coming together to form a One World Religion at the end of days. (her own pedestal).
A new interfaith and spiritual gathering of Christians, Jews and Muslims will take place in Jerusalem this September (2016).
https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/73887/jerusalem-interfaith-event-bring-together-leaders-abrahamic-faiths/“Amen-A House of Prayer For All Believers”, part of the 2016 Mekudeshet Festival from September 4-23, is an initiative created by the Jerusalem Season of Culture, an annual festival in Jerusalem, to bring together the world’s three major faiths “who share a belief in one God and a boundless love for Jerusalem to dialogue, study, sing and pray together in one temporary house of worship,” said a press release.
We will study, argue – yes, this is also allowed – and pray – together and alone. We will see if it is possible, despite all the corporeal difficulties and earthly obstacles, to create a new reality,” said Mekudeshet Artistic Director Itay Mautner.
The TRUTH will SET US FREE!!! ✝️
One Word Religion
What “god” are all these religious leaders praying to together? 🤔😈Do you think MOST OF HUMANITY would EMBRACE a “One world religion”?
2 John 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ (God Almighty) as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.😈
What if FIRST there was a MASSIVE WORLD WAR that caused much death and destruction, would most people be happy to see all of the major religions coming together to form a One World Religion? 😈Could we already be seeing the buildup to this? Doesn’t Jesus tell us that there will be GREAT DECEPTION at the time of the end, that would deceive even the very elect if that were possible (Matthew 24:24)?
1 John 2:22 Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ (messiah)? 😈This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.
The Great Tribulation is already casting its SHADOW on the world.
dyingworld.org/2019/02/21/ishtar-worship-in-the-church/
Jesus Christ is the ONLY PATH TO HEAVEN!
It is important to understand the TRUTH, because only the TRUTH will set us free! JESUS CHRIST IS the TRUTH! JESUS CHRIST, the ONLY SON of YHWH, born of a HUMAN virgin Mary (Mary was NOT a “god”), is the prophesied Messiah. Jesus IS God in the flesh, the Great IAM, the One True God. He is ONE with YHWH AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, and to worship the SON of God (YESHUA/JESUS) is to worship the Father! Jesus Christ is the ONLY PATH TO HEAVEN!
HalleluYAH! 💕🙌🏻
