-
Appreciate you joining me. Those of you that have been
-
born again, welcome, welcome, welcome. We're going to be doing
-
some edification today and bringing to bear historical facts. So
-
this is going to cause a lot of frustration with
-
those that have not been born again, with dispensationalists, with preterists.
-
They're just going to gnash their teeth at the truth.
-
But All of us should be used to that. So,
-
Mystery Babylon. Hmm. What is the truth? All right. God
-
bless everybody. Matthew Miller here from Maranatha Ministries. We're going
-
to be talking about the historical truth. We're not going
-
to be talking about myths or anything like that. No
-
cunningly devised fables today about Mystery Babylon. There's three facts
-
that lay solid exactly who Mystery Babylon is right now.
-
So let's get to Revelation chapter 17 where the word
Revelation 17 chapter mention
-
reveals to us this end time global entity. So Revelation
Revelation 17 chapter mention
-
chapter 17 starting in verse 3. So he carried me
-
away in the spirit into the wilderness and I saw
-
a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full
-
of names of blasphemy having seven heads and ten horns.
-
The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet and adorned
-
with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her
-
hand a golden cup full of the abominations and filthiness
-
of her fornication. And on her forehead a name was written,
-
Mystery Babylon, the great, the mother of harlots and the
-
abominations of the earth. I saw the woman drunk with
-
the blood of the saints and with the blood of
-
the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I
-
marveled with great amazement. So yeah. Remember, this ministry has
-
switched over. I am no longer issuing a call to
-
repentance to the baptized churchgoers who have not been born again.
-
I'm not doing that anymore. And for this very reason
-
right here. The Word reveals what your fellow congregants are
-
going to do to those of us that's been baptized
-
in the Holy Spirit. They're going to make martyrs out
-
of it. The word comes right out and tells us
-
right here that it is these 501c3 entities that are
-
tied in and authorized by the government. Just came right
-
out and told you right here. Of course, we could
-
go on to the entire length of this chapter and
-
18 to just make that clear, but there's no need to.
-
Those of us that's been born again, the Spirit has moved.
-
and we know this is the case, as is the
-
historical facts clearly going to lay out. Now, there's much
-
consternation about what country is Mystery Babylon. It is absolutely
-
a historical fact, the three things that made Babylon a
-
mystery in the book of Daniel. Three things. Daniel lived
-
from the Babylonian Empire, into the Persian Empire. Now, what
-
made this a great mystery was, of course, everything kept
-
on running. Why is that? Well, the three pillars of
-
Mystery Babylon was language, currency, and military. These are historical facts.
-
These are beyond contestation. So, with the language, the Persians
-
continued to use both the Babylonian language and elements of
-
its economic weight system through a major imperial updates as
-
well as integrating their military. So, let's talk about number one,
-
the currency. Oh yeah, Cyrus the Great, of course remember,
-
the word calls Cyrus a messiah, That's what triggers the
-
mystery part of this, but anyway. Strictly speaking, the Babylonians
-
did not use minted coins. Uh-oh, you didn't know that,
-
did you? Their currency was uncoined silver bullion, and it
-
was traded by exact weight. The fundamental Babylonian unit of
-
value was the shekel. What's the shekel? Now, the Persians
-
fully adopted the Babylonian weight standard for their economic transitions
-
across the core regions of the empire. When Darius the
-
Great introduced the empire's first official biometallic coinage system, the
-
gold derrick and silver siglos, he explicitly used the weight
-
of the silver coin adjusted to the Babylonian shekel, roughly 8.3 grams. Now,
-
while minted coins became highly popular in western provinces, the
-
eastern provinces and Babylonia itself heavily relied on weighing raw
-
silver according to the traditional Babylonian systems for centuries. One currency.
-
When the Persians did mint, they made sure their minted
-
coins went according to the weight of the Babylonian shekel.
-
You didn't know this, did you? Okay. Number two. So
-
the Persians took over and they just eradicated everything and
-
changed languages, right? Nope. So number one, It remains the
-
global currency in weight systems. Does this trigger remembrancers with
-
those seals? Because it should. Anyway, so there was a
-
global currency. Now let's find out about the global lingua franca.
-
This is detrimental to the thing. So number two, we're
-
on to number two now. So, the Persian Empire Famously,
-
decentralized and multilingual opting to keep the local language rather
-
than forcing everyone to speak Old Persian. The Babylonian language,
-
which is Akkadian. See, the Assyrians and the Babylonians were
-
the same thing. The language was Akkadian, okay? The Persians
-
actively continued to use the Babylonian language and its cuneiform script.
-
It was used extensively for local legal contracts, astronomical tax,
-
and temple administration. Yes, the education system used Acadia. Yes,
-
it did. Oh, yes, it did. So, how can we
-
prove this? Famously, when Cyrus the Great declared his conquest
-
in policies, he had them inscribed on the Cyrus Cylinder
-
In Akkadian, the Babylonian language and script. Imperial Aramaic is
-
the language. Did they keep the language? Yes. You've all
-
been lied to. Aramaic is called in the East, Kaladian. Yes,
-
it is. It's the Kaladian language. Kaladi, of course, is...
-
Please look this up. It's Akkadians. So anyway, Imperial Aramaic
-
in its important role and to note that the Babylonian
-
Empire had already been transitioning to Aramaic as an everyday
-
lingua franca, recognizing its efficiency. The Persians adopted the lingua
-
franca of Aramaic as its primary language bureaucratic language for
-
the entire empire running alongside local Babylonian records. So they
-
had the global currency. They had the global language. Third
-
time's a charm because we're not done. Third time's a charm.
-
So the integration into the Persian military Rather than maintaining
-
a single national army, the Persian military operated as a
-
multi-ethnic imperial army. When Cyrus the Great conquered Babylonia in
-
539 BC, the region became a satrapy. We call that
-
a providence. And its human resources, including local soldiers and levies,
-
were integrated into the wider military obligations owed to the
-
Persian kings. Historical records such as Herodotus' description of the
-
Persian military expedition, like Xerxes' invasion of Greece, explicitly listed
-
Babylonian contingents serving within the royal army alongside the Persians
-
and the Medes. Now, this plays out something you need
-
to know what Cyrus did. He did not destroy Babylon. No,
-
he didn't. Now, this is going to make all the
-
dispensationalists and all the preterists angry. No, we didn't. It
-
ended at the Battle of Opus, but we're going to
-
read about that here in just a second. So anyway,
-
the organized Babylonian military resistance effectively shattered at the Battle
-
of Opus prior to the peaceful entry into Babylon itself.
-
Babylon was not conquered. No, no, it wasn't. All those
-
prophecies are about the mystery Babylon, the end. We'll get
-
to that here in a second. So, you need to
-
realize that some local units and garrisons directly shifted their
-
allegiance and surrendered intact when Cyrus entered the capital as
-
a liberator, not a destroyer. All those prophecies about Babylon
-
being destroyed never happened. That is reserved for Mystery Babylon,
-
the late great American Empire. We can prove this beyond
-
contestation in the court of law. The only entity that
-
matches this is America. Number one, it is America that
-
has the global lingua franca beyond contestation. You know this
-
by all international flights must be conducted in American English.
-
In order to be peer-reviewed at the academic level, you
-
have to have your white paper published in American English.
-
These are true statements. This is true. These are hardcore facts.
-
Number two, if you don't know that the American dollar
-
is the global reserve currency, you're just a little bit uneducated.
-
That is literally common knowledge. If the Chinese want to
-
trade with the Russians, guess what they have to do?
-
They have to transfer their currencies into the American dollar
-
to perform those trades. And if they don't, we'll nuke them.
-
This is literally beyond contestation. So, number three, the military.
-
If you were not aware that you don't conduct military operations,
-
Without the United States' approval, well, once again, you're uneducated
-
in the fact of the matter. Let's talk about NATO.
-
NATO's really not NATO. It's just American stooges. That's a fact. Okay?
-
Nothing happens militarily without the United States say so. That's
-
a fact. That's a fact. Let's take the battle in Ukraine.
-
What happened? The government wanted to switch over and align
-
itself with America and off to war they went. What
-
happened in the Middle East with this Iranian conflict? Same thing.
-
Same exact thing. So you need to understand that If
-
you don't know that America is Mystery Babylon, it's only
-
because you're uninformed. Because other people were trying to entertain
-
you and get clickbait. They were trying to make money
-
off the ads by getting you to click on their
-
video or their audio or their document. I just told
-
you the three pillars, and I can prove this in
-
a court of law. And I wouldn't need legal counsel.
-
I could do it myself. Literally, this issue would be
-
thrown out in a court of law because it would
-
be like debating whether the sky is blue or not.
-
And the judge would throw it out. It would be
-
like debating whether water is wet or not. The judge
-
would throw it out. It would be no contest. No,
-
this is not permitted. So anyway, these three things are
-
historical facts. If you didn't know these historical facts, you
-
would have been misled by dispensationalists and preterists to believe
-
that Mystery of Babylon was something else. Oh, no. Jesus
-
Christ was either crucified in 30 AD or 33. And
-
according to the promises in Hosea 6, verse 2, we're
-
going to get this show on the road. And the
-
new world order isn't coming. It's here. We are Mystery Babylon. Now,
-
take note that during the birth pangs, the four spirits
-
of heaven stir things up and they break apart the
-
American monopoly into four things. There are four great empires coming.
-
Thus saith the word. I don't care what dispensationalists say.
-
I don't care what preterists say. That's what the word says.
-
The word says that out of one of these four
-
beasts will rise a little horn. That's what the Word says. So,
-
I hope you learned the fact of the matter here
-
in this video, those of you that's been baptized in
-
the Holy Spirit. You need to know, you need to
-
know that the verses that I read about Mystery Babylon
-
and those whole two chapters She is absolutely tied to
-
the hip with the government. That's what's going on. So,
-
and also tied to the hip to those world princes. So,
-
you need to know this, that the end game is this.
-
They are going to make a martyr out of you
-
if they've been born again. You just need to know that.
-
You need to flee These buildings. You need to get
-
out of them. Because the word states. When the four
-
spirits of heaven. Start stirring things up. Revelation chapter 6.
Revelation 6 chapter mention
-
Verse 9. Tells you why they do it. The great apostasy.
-
Is not like the wars of religions. Triggered by. The
-
great reformation. It's not going to be Protestants killing Catholics.
-
And vice versa. No. It's going to be. unbaptized congregants
-
killing those who've been baptized in the Holy Spirit. If
-
you want to know what they do to the word,
-
Revelation chapter 22 verses 18 and 19 informs you, it
-
edifies you of what they're going to do. And we
-
who've been born again won't stand for it. We reject
-
the traditions of men. We reject theological myths and we
-
hold to the word And the word alone and its testimony.
-
That's what we hold to. And when we do, they
-
make martyrs out of us. So, you know, fair warning
-
to all of you that's been born again. And we know.
-
Me and my wife bear testimony. We've been to so
-
many different churches. Catholic churches, Baptist, Methodist, yada, yada, yada.
-
We bear witness. that in every one, there was maybe
-
two or three, maybe four at most in all of
-
these churches that had been born again. So I'm telling you,
-
you've been forewarned. If you continue going to those church
-
buildings and you've been born again, they're going to make
-
a martyr out of you. So, To those of you
-
that have been baptized in the Holy Spirit, I issue
-
an urgent request. If you have any encouraging words or prayers,
-
put them in the comments. Please like the video, share
-
the video, and subscribe to the channel. And help get
-
these messages out to those who have been born again.
-
Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless.
