Oh wow I watch the original video about Jerusalem being mystery Babylon years ago didn't quite recognize you but your voice confirm that it is you....blessings my friend great to see you!
I am not an Arminian, but I am certainly more Arminian than Calvinist. I have received the grace of God because of my faith in Christ. Having said that, I do enjoy your teaching. Thank you.
I'm enjoying your video and agree with your preamble concerning what your assembly believes. And I have a question concerning the identity of the prostitute. The Preterist view is that the woman prostitute, Babylon, is Jerusalem. And while the Preterist view has many details right, how can the woman be Jerusalem? Since Revelation is written in a figurative language where it is not literal. If a 'woman' is not a literal woman; a 'dragon' is not a literal dragon; a 'horn' is not a literal horn; a 'mountain' is not a literal mountain, etc. How can a 'city', then, be a literal city, either Jerusalem or Rome? Just as with the other figurative words used in Revelation, the figurative meaning of a 'city' can be found in the scriptures relating to Babel/Bavel/Babylon in Genesis 11. Though, some say that while the other terms are figurative, 'city' is not figurative. But rather literal. Is 'city' the only literal word in Revelation or are there more?
For instance, the ten horns. Horns are representative of governments. The woman in Revelation 12, 12 Stars, Sun and Moon, are mentioned in Genesis 37 I believe. In Joseph's dream. Chuck Missler has a good eschatology teaching on Revelation. He explains that everything in Revelation can be found in the Old Testament, and points it out.
@daniellewilliams78 Yes. I believe the ten horns/kings/toes represent 'government'. Becayse the number ten in scripture is symbolic for earthly government. It seems that you believe the woman in Rev 12 is the same woman in Rev 17. But the description of what happens to them is different. The woman in Rev 12 is not described as a prostitute and she is to be taken care of in the desert. While the woman in Rev 17 is described as a prostitute who gets destroyed by the ten kings and the beast, Rev 17:16. Cheers
The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath.
No. In the first century there was an earth quake and part of one of the walls of Jerusalem collapsed, as the Romans were undermining it. This forced the Jewish forces to retreat into the inner part of the city. The factions of Jews that were fighting each other as well as the Romans, split into 3 distinct factions and divided the city into 3 camps. The regular Jews led by generals from the priesthood, the Zealots led by John and the Idumite Zealots led by Simon.

The breath-taking beauty of Jerusalem caused the Jewish Rabbis to say, “Whoever has not seen Jerusalem in her splendor has never seen a beautiful city.” C. “The Jerusalem temple was covered all over with plates of gold of great weight, and at first rising of the sun, reflected back a fiery splendor and made those who forced themselves to look upon it to turn their eyes away, just as they would have done at the sun’s own rays.” (Josephus, Jewish historian) D.

Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” Luke 21:21-22, 24 C. ”For the days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side, and will dash you and your children within you to the ground.

There will not be left here one stone upon another, which will not be thrown down.” Mark 13:2 13. “Babylon” had dominion over the kings of the earth. Rev. 17:18 Her former special position was due to the old covenantal relationship with Yahweh. “Jerusalem… is the city of the Great King." Matt. 5:35 Jerusalem was called “the Holy City.” Matt. 4:5, Matt. 27:53 14. The Book of Revelation was written to contemporaries of John with events to take place “soon,” “at hand,” etc. Thus, the harlot was first century Jerusalem. (See video #1) “Show…what must happen soon.” Rev. 1:1, "For the time is at hand.” Rev. 1:3, “things which are and the things that will happen hereafter.” Rev. 1:19, “There will no longer be delay.” Rev. 10:6, God is showing… ”Things which must happen soon.” Rev. 22:6.

Late reply Im Catholic. i wish more so-called bible believing protestants actually read the bible they say we dont read. Thank you for calling them out.
Jesus even said there is but one God.He never claimed to be the heavenly Father.The phrophecy of Jesus is in Deuteronomy 18:15-22 of which Mosses penned the first 5 books of the Old Testment read it , those scriptures said that God would send a prophet of whom God would put his words in that phrophets mouth.Jesus was a temple. The analogy of being 'one' is also used when referring to a man being one with his wife which does NOT mean the man is his wife. Deuteronomy 4:35 tells us that the LORD which is all capital letters which refere to the Heavenly Father not Jesus, Deut 4:35 states that "You were shown these things so you would know that the LORD is God; and there is no other" The old Testament repeated states there is but ONE God.This is fundamental !Ephesians 4:6 -"One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all" !!! Romans --8:14- "For as many as are led by the spirit of God are the sons of God."John 20:17- "Do not cling to me, "Jesus said "For I have not yet ascended to the Father.But go and tell my brother, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God." The Trinity doctrine is a doctrine of Catholicism!!! Scripture repeatedly tells us there is but ONE GOD. Jesus is the servant and High Priest/the Kohen Gadol .Whom has been 'given' power and authority but he is NOT the heavenly Father.I suggest you to reread the entire book of Isaiah again to refresh your memory .The book of Isaiah makes it very clear.

2Jn 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. 1Jn 2:22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. 1Jn 2:23 No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. Where in these verses does it say that John is saying that it is Israelites that are antichrist because they have denied the Jesus is the Christ. In verse 22, and in It says "he", and in verse it says "deceiver," not Israelites. John's first two epistles are written to Christians, both Jew and Gentile, whom he calls "Little Children." Thus anyone that denies that Jesus is the Christ is antichrist, not just First Century Jews. That includes anyone in history or the future that denies the Jesus is the Christ/Messiah/Anointed One, is antichrist.
A huge hole in your theory. Rev 18 says Mystery babylon will be destroyed in a day. The battle of Israel took 4 years. heck just the battle of the Temple took 4 months not to mention it was destroyed by the Roman Empire and was not surrounded by many nations military
It was surrounded by many nations. Legions from Anatolia, Syria, areas near the Euphrates as well as legions from Egypt and North Africa. The legions were made up of local men.
I came to this conclusion about a year ago from these same passages that call Jerusalem a harlot that fornicates with the kings of the earth! However, I would add to that. If the gentile believers have been grafted into Israel, and nonbelieving Jews have been cut off, then it's fair ro say that the harlot has continued with apostate Chriatianity. Many of the apostsies in Christianity, have been based on Kabbalah. So I believe that Kabbalah is the mother of harlots, but Christian apostsies are a part of Mystery Babylon!
@@silveriorebelo2920 There have been movements out of protestantism that are harlots for sure. I think the best thing about protestants is putting the authority back in the word of God and not in man. To encourage bibles to be translated and distributed to the people. Any believer with the Holy Spirit can read and understand through prayer. We can test our pastors and any systematic theologies through scripture.
@truthtransistorradio6716 If this was true Protestantism wouldn't have been captured by hews through the heresy of Scofield. 40 percent of protestants in America don't believe christ is God.
Jerusalem isn’t Mystery Babylon because when Jesus returns to Earth, His feet will touch the Mount of Olives in a besieged (but not destroyed) Jerusalem.
@@CAREYLOU316 Where is Jesus physically since he has returned? He is supposed to be the Prince of Peace yet we are on the verge of WW3! You preterists are nutcases.
Except the book of Revelation says it is mystery Babylon. Historical fact- They perverted the truth of scripture for the texts of men in the Babylonian Talmud.
If we are to be good bareans we need to use our detective skills, looking into the talmud and the history of the talmud, well let's just say it is incredibly alarming. For one the talmud is in direct opposition to the torah, the things that are written in the talmud seem to be in direct opposition to the Torah when it comes to the law's given to Moses on mt. Sinai. Where as the Torah and the tanack sync up in perfect harmony the talmud does not. Secondly the talmud was admittedly created in Babylon, on the Wikipedia page it says that it was forbidden to write the talmud but due to the exile of the Jews from the land they ended up breaking their own law in order to preserve the teachings of the talmud. Thirdly the 1948 recreation of the state of Israel does not line up with the Ezekiel or Jeremiah prophecies. There are many abominations being done in the land, there is no peace to this very day, God said that he would bring the israelites back to the land and that it would be so great that no one would be talking about the first Exodus again. Also not all ten lost tribes have been regathered yet. In conclusion mystery Babylon is called a mystery I believe because it is the one every believer of Yahusha would least suspect as being likened unto Babylon. The Jewish people that accept the talmud as their authorative scriptures are not a friend of the Christians, the very people that we think are our strongest allies have made themselves our worst enemies. This is unfortunately why they are working to get laws implemented against those who accept the tanak and the Torah as their authoritative scriptures instead of implementing law's against those that openly and secretly teach even their own children that they should be destroyed. They go after their friends rather than their enemies.
Oh wow I watch the original video about Jerusalem being mystery Babylon years ago didn't quite recognize you but your voice confirm that it is you....blessings my friend great to see you!

Glad to see you still teaching.

"The Great City" in Revelation refers to both Jerusalem and Babylon. JERUSALEM AND BABYLON are one and the same.

100%. Correct brother
The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath.
Don't forget this part as well. 3 parts ( Gaza, The West bank,nas Jerusalem

country not enter therein. For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled…They will fall by
the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles, until the
times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” Luke 21:21-22, 24
C. ”For the days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on
every side, and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another,
because you didn't know the time of your visitation.".” Luke 19:43-44
D. “Do you see these great [temple] buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another, which will not be thrown
down.” Mark 13:2
13. “Babylon” had dominion over the kings of the earth. Rev. 17:18
Her former special position was due to the old covenantal relationship with Yahweh.
“Jerusalem… is the city of the Great King." Matt. 5:35
Jerusalem was called “the Holy City.” Matt. 4:5, Matt. 27:53
14. The Book of Revelation was written to contemporaries of John with events to take place “soon,” “at hand,” etc.
Thus, the harlot was first century Jerusalem. (See video #1)
“Show…what must happen soon.” Rev. 1:1, "For the time is at hand.” Rev. 1:3, “things which are and the things that will
happen hereafter.” Rev. 1:19, “There will no longer be delay.” Rev. 10:6, God is showing… ”Things which must happen
soon.” Rev. 22:6.
May Jesus deliver his people from Satanic TULIP doctrine.
I believe those TULIP points are right and concord with what is taught in the Bible
Galatians 4:
25For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. 26But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Revelation 21: 2
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Late reply
Im Catholic. i wish more so-called bible believing protestants actually read the bible they say we dont read. Thank you for calling them out.
The Papacy is evil. Always was.
@EQOAnostalgia
Typology is real,
Try again
If Protestants actually read the entire Catholic Catachism they’d be blown away by what it says about the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Thank you sir! What you say is fully Scriptural! GOD bless you
Jesus even said there is but one God.He never claimed to be the heavenly Father.The phrophecy of Jesus is in Deuteronomy 18:15-22 of which Mosses penned the first 5 books of the Old Testment read it , those scriptures said that God would send a prophet of whom God would put his words in that phrophets mouth.Jesus was a temple. The analogy of being 'one' is also used when referring to a man being one with his wife which does NOT mean the man is his wife. Deuteronomy 4:35 tells us that the LORD which is all capital letters which refere to the Heavenly Father not Jesus, Deut 4:35 states that "You were shown these things so you would know that the LORD is God; and there is no other" The old Testament repeated states there is but ONE God.This is fundamental !Ephesians 4:6 -"One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all" !!! Romans --8:14- "For as many as are led by the spirit of God are the sons of God."John 20:17- "Do not cling to me, "Jesus said "For I have not yet ascended to the Father.But go and tell my brother, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God." The Trinity doctrine is a doctrine of Catholicism!!! Scripture repeatedly tells us there is but ONE GOD. Jesus is the servant and High Priest/the Kohen Gadol .Whom has been 'given' power and authority but he is NOT the heavenly Father.I suggest you to reread the entire book of Isaiah again to refresh your memory .The book of Isaiah makes it very clear.
The old man with a beard?
I was trying to mow my yard,
With an electric lawn mower from the 1970s my Roadie pulled out of a dumpster or a yard??
I was huffing and puffing, with my weak heart, crippled legs and failed kidnies and bad liver!
When a black car pulled in my driveway...A tall old man got out of the car and ask if I would like some coffee... He had a long white beard and white hair.
We talked shortly and I ask where I knew him from?
My music is very close to being in every nation in the world?
About 400 recordings as far back as 1974 . .153 are my songs...But I know a lot of people from laying brick in Texas for many years!...back to the old man yesterday?
He said I am Dart!..I laughed and said Gary Dart!
When I was 17 and mixed mortar for bricklayers, I worked with Gary!..When it rained us out one day .. we stopped at Kernal
Saunder's Chicken in Fort Worth and we ate a whole bucket of chicken from Fort Worth to Weatherford!
I have cheated death msny times and with my health problems I am livin' on birrowed time!
Jesus sent Gary Dart to me!
Why?...because Gary Dart Knows I care about people with problems, and I do not condem them or lecture them!
Dart helped me mow my yard until we were both worn out!
He then informed me his son was die-ing and said his son loved my music!
He ask me to pray for his son and I prayed for Gary first,that God would show him the way and keep him away from the bad things...
He told me which of my friends had died and we talked about our dear friend, Jackie Gandy...
The odd thing about this ?
Is God sent him to me?
He trusted my love for people,so old Dart showed up at my house?
After Dart reminded me him and Gandy saw me in my hay-day in Austin, play piano and sing..
As he was leavin' he said something I have not heard in 40 years? . He said.,,
"I love you Will"!...wow!
Who got blessed here??
A real story from Old Jake!.The old man with a beard?

A real story from Old Jake!.
2Jn 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.
1Jn 2:22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
1Jn 2:23 No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also.
Where in these verses does it say that John is saying that it is Israelites that are antichrist because they have denied the Jesus is the Christ.
In verse 22, and in It says "he", and in verse it says "deceiver," not Israelites.
John's first two epistles are written to Christians, both Jew and Gentile, whom he calls "Little Children." Thus anyone that denies that Jesus is the Christ is antichrist, not just First Century Jews. That includes anyone in history or the future that denies the Jesus is the Christ/Messiah/Anointed One, is antichrist.
This guy on another channel , wrongly, insists that Jerusalem is not Mystery Babylon :
ruclips.net/video/AuO1rYhouHE/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Which is funny because the text literally says it is. 😂
A huge hole in your theory. Rev 18 says Mystery babylon will be destroyed in a day. The battle of Israel took 4 years. heck just the battle of the Temple took 4 months not to mention it was destroyed by the Roman Empire and was not surrounded by many nations military
It was surrounded by many nations. Legions from Anatolia, Syria, areas near the Euphrates as well as legions from Egypt and North Africa. The legions were made up of local men.
Also, the battle was exactly 42 months. It’s recorded in history.
Revelation Chapter2
Revelation Chapter 3?
Revelation Chapter 18!
Good teaching!!..
I came to this conclusion about a year ago from these same passages that call Jerusalem a harlot that fornicates with the kings of the earth! However, I would add to that. If the gentile believers have been grafted into Israel, and nonbelieving Jews have been cut off, then it's fair ro say that the harlot has continued with apostate Chriatianity. Many of the apostsies in Christianity, have been based on Kabbalah. So I believe that Kabbalah is the mother of harlots, but Christian apostsies are a part of Mystery Babylon!
including protestantism??
@@silveriorebelo2920 There have been movements out of protestantism that are harlots for sure. I think the best thing about protestants is putting the authority back in the word of God and not in man. To encourage bibles to be translated and distributed to the people. Any believer with the Holy Spirit can read and understand through prayer. We can test our pastors and any systematic theologies through scripture.
@truthtransistorradio6716
If this was true
Protestantism wouldn't have been captured by hews through the heresy of Scofield. 40 percent of protestants in America don't believe christ is God.
Yep Matthew 23
Jerusalem isn’t Mystery Babylon because when Jesus returns to Earth, His feet will touch the Mount of Olives in a besieged (but not destroyed) Jerusalem.
It's a Heavenly Jerusalem Not An Earthly One. The Earthly One Will Be Destroyed.
Jesus already returned in AD 70. He is not coning back a third time
@@CAREYLOU316 Where is Jesus physically since he has returned? He is supposed to be the Prince of Peace yet we are on the verge of WW3! You preterists are nutcases.
@@CAREYLOU316prove it!
Except the book of Revelation says it is mystery Babylon.
Historical fact-
They perverted the truth of scripture for the texts of men in the Babylonian Talmud.
❤❤❤
If we are to be good bareans we need to use our detective skills, looking into the talmud and the history of the talmud, well let's just say it is incredibly alarming.
For one the talmud is in direct opposition to the torah, the things that are written in the talmud seem to be in direct opposition to the Torah when it comes to the law's given to Moses on mt. Sinai.
Where as the Torah and the tanack sync up in perfect harmony the talmud does not.
Secondly the talmud was admittedly created in Babylon, on the Wikipedia page it says that it was forbidden to write the talmud but due to the exile of the Jews from the land they ended up breaking their own law in order to preserve the teachings of the talmud.
Thirdly the 1948 recreation of the state of Israel does not line up with the Ezekiel or Jeremiah prophecies.
There are many abominations being done in the land, there is no peace to this very day, God said that he would bring the israelites back to the land and that it would be so great that no one would be talking about the first Exodus again.
Also not all ten lost tribes have been regathered yet.
In conclusion mystery Babylon is called a mystery I believe because it is the one every believer of Yahusha would least suspect as being likened unto Babylon.
The Jewish people that accept the talmud as their authorative scriptures are not a friend of the Christians, the very people that we think are our strongest allies have made themselves our worst enemies.
This is unfortunately why they are working to get laws implemented against those who accept the tanak and the Torah as their authoritative scriptures instead of implementing law's against those that openly and secretly teach even their own children that they should be destroyed.
They go after their friends rather than their enemies.
👍
Preterist nonsense.
Rejecting the false Jesuit theory of futurism for the false Jesuit theory of Preterism.....
Good luck with that.
Are you saying the church isn't true israel?
Lol
