The Two Babylons
REVELATION 18:4-11
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. (All the evil that Mystery Rome – the Catholic Church, the mother of the harlot Christian denominations, will come back on her two fold)
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. (Once judgement is pronounced, God cannot change his mind about his word)
8 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 God who judgeth her. (This is nuclear fire – Russia will drop an atomic bomb on the Vatican city)
9 ¶ And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 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. (They are standing far off because of nuclear fallout and radiation)
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: (Notice that this destruction greatly affects the financial stability of all the merchants of the earth)
PSALM 137:1-6
1 ¶ By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. This is speaking of the time when Israel was taken captive by king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and taken into exile from their own homeland to Babylon.
The Two Babylons
I do not want to confuse this message with the book written by Alexander Hislop called “The Two Babylons” which shows how the spirit ofthe papal worship of the Catholic Church is proved to be the worship of Nimrod and his wife. The same Babylonian spirit and worship that was in ancient Babylon is now in the Catholic Church – that is your two Babylons that Hislop wrote of.

REVELATION 18:11
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
PSALM 137:1-6
1 ¶ By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
Notice these two different groups of people weeping and mourning.
One group is in the captivity and by the rivers of Babylon weeping because they are remembering their place of origin (Jerusalem), they are remembering Zion that great city of God, and the other group is weeping because they have witnessed the destruction of Babylon which was once their place of origin and prosperity.
So it depends on what culture we are a part of and when we do our sighing and crying, because we know that we are living in the season when this destruction of Babylon is prophesied to take place.
We know that there are two Babylon’s today: one is the Roman Catholic Vatican City (Revelation 17:1 – Revelation 18:20), while the second Babylon one is Hollywood (Revelation 18:21-23).
Many people in denominational churches may be able to tell you to some level that it is the catholic church that is mystery Babylon, but very few would also be able to tell you that Hollywood is the other Babylon.
Hollywood is the “dream factory” of lies and perversion that has successfully destroyed the morals of our Gentile world culture by her false images and idles erected to the people through the television and the movies screens.
The masses of the world’s population are being discipled daily by Hollywood stars through the entertainment movie and TV industry, because a disciple is discipled by being association with and by watching how a person acts in different situations in life, and then by osmosis they pick up that influenced and training so that they themselves begin to act in the same way when the same situations arises. The peoples mind and thoughts are being influence away from God in the way of how people relate to people and how people relate to God – they have become rich in material things but poor in their relationships one with another.
**These Hollywood stars (that are effectively being role models to the entire world) are people that are possessed with fallen angels, and they are worshiped by the world as gods in the earth just like it was in natural Babylon.
These two identities are the modern Sodom and Gomorrah of today - Sodom means burning and Gomorrah means submersion, because the Vatican in Rome will be burnt, and Hollywood in California will be submerged beneath the sea.
So we know that while a nuclear bomb is appointed for the Vatican City, an earthquake will destroy Hollywood (Revelation 18:21-23).
REVELATION 18:21-23
21 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. (This Babylon is not Rome but Hollywood California USA)
22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; (machinery factories)
23 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 (these merchants were also the great men of the entertainment business industry); for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
(Greek - Sorcery = magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it; the deceptions and seductions of idolatry)
THE.CHOOSING.OF.A.BRIDE_ LA.CA V-2 N-28 THURSDAY_ 65-0429E
229 That is solemn warning. We don't know what time, and you don't know what time, that this city one day is going to be laying out here in the bottom of this ocean.
230 "Oh, Capernaum," said Jesus, "thou who exalted into heaven, will be brought down into hell. For, if the mighty works had been done in Sodom and Gomorrah, it'd have been standing to this day." And Sodom, Gomorrah lays in the bottom of the Dead Sea. And Capernaum is in the bottom of the sea.
231 Thou city, who claims to be the city of the Angels, who has exalted yourself into heaven, and sent all the dirty, filthy things of fashions and things, till even the foreign countries come here to pick up our filth and send it away, to your fine churches and steeples, and so forth, the way you do. Remember, one day you'll be laying in the bottom of the sea, your great honeycomb under you right now. The wrath of God is belching right beneath you. How much longer He will hold this sandbar hanging out over that? When, that ocean out yonder, a mile deep, will slide in there, plumb back to the Salton Sea. It'll be worse than the last day of Pompeii. Repent, Los Angeles.
232 Repent, the rest of you, and turn to God. The hour of His wrath is upon the earth. Flee while there's time to flee, and come into Christ.
Two Babylon’s today, one is the Vatican City in Rome, and the other is Hollywood in Los Angeles America– and the same spirit is operating through these two different channels and deceiving the whole world.
Rome (the catholic church) is deceiving the world by her religious lies (spiritual adultery) and Hollywood is deceiving the world by her moral lies of physical adultery – it is the same spirit of Babylon operation in these two different channels through Rome and America in order to deceive the whole world and fulfil prophecy – and that is why these two nations are uniting together to eventually come against the bride of Christ because the same Babylonian spirit is in both the Catholic Church and Hollywood.
**Jezebel (the Catholic Church) is uniting with Ahab (America) in order to bring destruction to Naboth who represents Israel and also in type the end time bride of Christ. What is this? It is Church and State uniting again to bring pressure on the end time bride of Christ as it was in the dark ages.
361-1 LAODICEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.9
Remember we have shown clearly all through the ages that even as Adam and Eve fell because they left the Word, so the Ephesian Age fell by turning slightly from the Word, until with every age continuing to turn away, we have a final repudiation of the Word by the World Church system. This Laodicean Age ends in a blackout of the Word, thereby causing a departure of the Lord from the midst. He stands outside calling to His own who follow Him by obedience to the Word. After a short and powerful demonstration of the Spirit this little hunted and persecuted group will go to be with Jesus.
MATTHEW 1:17
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
Notice that the carrying away into Babylon was an important point that is noted here to measure the generations from Abraham to Christ.
The word Babylon is mentioned over 240 times in the Old Testament and around 11 times in the New Testament.
Opening scripture
PSALM 137:1-6
1 ¶ By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. (In the ancient city of Babylon ran the Euphrates River with its many streams flowing out from that river, and we see that this is a pattern of the world today because Babylon is the system that surrounds us everywhere in this modern age – its streams flow into almost every known city in the world, there is not one city hardly anywhere where the influence of Babylon in the form of either the Catholic Church or Hollywood is not seen.
**When we go to the super market, we are by the rivers of Babylon, when we walk into the malls we are by the rivers of Babylon – all these places are strange places from where man once lived back in Eden when he had fellowship with God, and when nature was under his dominion – there were no shopping centres and cinemas in Eden because you didn’t need them, you were living the dream continually, you didn’t need to plug into DreamWorks and have someone else pretend to live the dream for you.
1 ¶ By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
We know that Zion refers to Jerusalem, the city of our God where God dwelt in his temple – this represents God’s true dwelling place in the heart of man, it represents the bride of Christ which is the true temple and dwelling place of God.
2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. (Our music is different to Babylon’s style of music - our harps are put aside in this age compared to the music of Babylon)
3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land? (The music of this age is so different to the songs of Zion that we sing in our church services)
5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
This Zion and Jerusalem was the chief city of Palestine (the capital).
Jerusalem = "teaching of peace" – and peace brings rest.
What did Boaz’s revelation to Ruth at the midnight hour bring to her? – Peace and rest. Ruth who was once hungry became full, Ruth once wept, but her sorry and uncertainty was turned into joy and peace.
LUKE 6:21-25
21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

202 Notice, nothing in the Bible types the denominations but Babylon. And Babylon was founded by Nimrod, and Nimrod was a renegade. And he had a bunch of women in there, was supposed to be his queens, that was prophetess. They even think that old Balaam come from that section, they had roots and so forth. They worshipped, you know (many of you scholars that reading Hislop's Two Babylons, and so forth, and the history of the church), and how they--they did. And they had women that done this, and women... a goddess, and everything, and it was a forced religion. Everybody, every city around Babylon was compelled to come to Babylon to worship under Nimrod at the tower. See? That's right. They were forced to do it, debate it. There's where the confusion come.
203 And that's exactly what the church is today, "If you don't attend Sunday school, if you don't do this, and have to hire you to do this and do this and do that, you're out of the picture."
204 Out there in Tucson, is listening in this morning, I once wondered... I've always constraining people, "Go to church, no matter where you go." And I seen the people kind of pulling back, and going this way. And I thought, "What's the matter?"
205 I went to some of them, "The first day you're there, they'll approach you, 'Join our church.' If you don't do it, you're not welcome." See? See? It's a forced thing, it's forced upon you, see, and that's Babylon. But in Christ, you come in by election; not by force, your heart pulls you in.
206 God did not put His name then in Babylon. Closely now. He cannot put His Name in Babylon, the churches. Oh, they, they put His Name in there, but He never. No.
We could have almost called this message “The Three Babylons” – The Catholic Church, The protestant Denominational churches, and Hollywood. That is why these three identities are beginning to embrace one another – because they all have the same spirit within them.
REVELATION 18:1-5
1 ¶ And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 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, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

239 But, remember, there was a group, also, that was a spiritual group, the Jacob group, not the--not the Esau group. There's a Jacob group was looking for the son, that wasn't in that Babylon, and they received a Messenger. Understand? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Abraham, A-b-r-a-h-a-m, they received a Messenger. And that Messenger, what was the great, outstanding thing He done, to show it was at the end time? He discerned the thoughts that was in Sarah's mind.

124 Notice his plans to build a super denominational church, the World Council of Churches, see, a super denominate, so that all the world will worship him, the beast, under the name of united Christianity. Would you like to read that in the Bible? Revelation 13:6 and 8. It's a modern tower of Babel.
125 Don't you remember how that Nimrod, that hypocrite, built this big tower and made all the other little cities pay tribute to it? Babble and Babel is the same thing. It just changes its names, and, as it comes on up. It's, Rome now is Babylon. And the whole world is brought to Babylon, and it's brought in by the World Council of Churches which will make every one of them bow to her. And you've took the mark of the beast, not knowing what you were doing. Because...
But those who are elected will hear the Word and come out of it.
I am so glad that we have heard a voice, and by faith we have come out of all the deceptions of these Babylonian systems and into the glorious light of the bride age.
The Two Babylons – Sodom and Gomorrah – one is to be burnt and the other one is to be submerged 40 miles out into the sea.
The bible foretold it, the prophet of this generation confirmed it and opened up the complete mystery of it to us, and we see these things coming to pass exactly as it was spoken.
The Book of Ezekiel was written during the Babylonian captivity of the Jews between around 593 and 565 B.C..
EZEKIEL 2:1-10 3:1-3 As we read this we must update the players in this prophecy because this is also a pattern of this age of when God sent a prophet to America and they rejected that message that was sent to then by God.
1 ¶ And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
2 And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.
4 For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.
5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.
6 ¶ And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
9 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
10 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
EZEKIEL 3:1-3
1 ¶ Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
EZEKIEL 9:1-6
1 ¶ He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;
4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
5 ¶ And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
LUKE 13:34-35
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
376-1 A.RESUME.OF.THE.AGES - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.10
The false church groups will come together in a world council of churches. This world council of churches is the IMAGE ERECTED TO THE BEAST.
Revelation 13:11-18,
"And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred three score and six."
Now remember, it was Imperial Pagan Rome that fell by the sword. But she was healed of her death stroke when she joined to the nominal Christian church of Rome and incorporated paganism and Christianity, and thereby became the Holy Roman Empire which was to endure until Jesus came and destroyed her. But Rome is not going it alone. Her daughters are right with her and she will take over absolute authority by the World Council of Churches.
This may seem far fetched to some but actually it is very plain for all to see because right now the churches are controlling politics and at the opportune time will manifest exactly how great is that control. This ecumenical move will end up with Rome at the head even though the people did not envision it that way. This is so because in Revelation 17:3-6 it states that the whore, Mystery Babylon is seated on the beast. She is controlling the last, or fourth empire. This Roman Church is doing that. With the world church system under her Rome will be controlling, and this image (church system) will be obedient to Rome because Rome controls the gold of the world.
Thus all the people have to belong to the world church system or be at the mercy of the elements for they cannot buy or sell without the mark of the beast in the hand or head. This mark in the head means that they will have to take the doctrine of the world church system which is trinitarianism, etc., and the mark in the hand which means to do the will of the world church. With this great power the church systems will persecute the true bride. This image will try to keep the bride from preaching and teaching, etc. Her ministers will be forbidden to give comfort and truth to the people who need it. But before the antichrist (in person) takes over this complete world system of churches the true church will be taken away from this world to be with the Lord. God will catch away His bride for the great Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
The bride age is the only place of safety – in the revelation of the word of this hour.
