All right, we're in Revelation chapter 18 and brother John was the same and we only got four more chapters to go
And then we're done with the book of Revelation and so a great book here a lot of great stuff here
And so tonight we're in chapter 18 and we're continuing with the subject of Babylon now in chapter 17
Is where we find the description of Babylon and the decree of its destruction was announced
That's in chapter 17 and in 17 is where we saw the unholy union between the whore
Known as Babylon and that's sitting upon the scarlet colored beast and it gives us that imagery in
Chapter 17 for a specific reason we know that the scarlet colored beast is referring to that same beast that we see in Revelation chapter
13 where John has seen the vision of the beast that's coming up out of the sea
Having seven heads and ten horns and upon his horns ten crowns now
This is really representing
Not only all the world empires that have ever existed and the reason we know that is because of the fact that it has
You know the all the elements of the lion the bear and and all those animals that we see in Daniel chapter number seven
So obviously it represents a culmination of all world empires throughout history
Referring to the Babylonian Empire the Medo-Persian Empire Grecian Empire Roman Empire
But it also represents because it's a it's a conglomerate of all those animals
It represents the New World Order and then it also represents the Antichrist
So this image that that John is seeing coming up out of the sea
Represents all three of those entities. Okay, all of the world empires that we saw in Daniel chapter 7
We see that it represents the New World Order and then it also represents the Antichrist himself
And the reason that's important is because we see in Revelation 17 that the whore is sitting on
The scarlet colored beast and so we see that there is a union an unholy union a
Relationship between the spirit of Babylon and these world empires you see often when people think of the New World Order
They view it as just a matter of a one-world religion or they view it as a one-world
Financial system but in actuality, it's also a one-world government
It's a threefold cord made by Satan throughout the ages leading up to the end times and
This New World Order that we see here in the Bible. Okay
So this is describing the fact that the entity known as Babylon has had a presence in world empires and will ultimately
Intermingle itself with the final superpower in the end times now in my opinion and you know, this is pretty proven and pretty
Legitimate we would say that Babylon is the United States of America
Now obviously if end times Bible prophecy and the events that are found within the book of Revelation
Does not take place in our lifetime. We don't have the beginning of sorrows, you know
The Great Tribulation doesn't take place in our lifetime then, you know, it might be another nation
But looking at the way things are going today looking at the events of today, you know
What's taking place in our world today?
It can be easily said that if this were to take place in our lifetime
Absolutely, the United States of America would fit the bill as being mystery Babylon. Okay. It was a mystery to John
But it's not necessarily a mystery to us. Once we find out that this is gonna take place in our lifetime. Okay?
Say when will we know?
Well, we won't really know until the Antichrist comes into power, right and I'm not referring to him conquering going forth conquering
It's a conquer. I'm talking about him going into the temple of God proclaiming himself to be God
When he receives that deadly wound to the head his deadly wound is healed. He's possessed by Satan himself
He becomes that son of perdition the man of sin at that point. We will know. Okay now we're definitely in the end times
We have 75 days until the rapture takes place and then you know, you have all those events thereafter
Okay, so chapter 18 is where we find that desolation being carried out
So the decree to destroy Babylon is found throughout the Bible. I mean God hates Babylon
God hates the spirit of Babylon
He hated it in Genesis chapter 11 when they were trying to build the tower unto heaven
He hated the concept that was behind it
He hated the Empire's that you see in in Daniel's lifetime beginning with Babylon and Nebuchadnezzar
He did not like that spirit of conquest or of Empire because it was anti-bible and really it was putting forth the stage
Into or should I say it was symbolically representing the ultimate empire of Satan himself?
Okay, and this is why he wants to destroy it
This is why in a sense he saves the best for last
Because remember all types of destruction is taking place up into this point, right?
You have the trumpets you have the vows being poured out onto the earth and then when is Babylon destroyed?
What's destroyed at the end of Daniel's 70th week?
So he allows Babylon to really survive
This entire time period of chaos and crisis and wrath
until the very end
It's one of those things where it's like God is basically saying, you know
Trying to make America feel or should I say Babylon feel that you know, all your you're almost you're almost at the finish line
You're probably you're not gonna be affected by any of these things and then at the end which is exactly what he says
He's like, oh, yeah
Remember your iniquities your sins are come up up to heaven your iniquities are come before me and now it's time to pay
Okay, revenge shall be taken upon Babylon and it shall be destroyed
But this destruction has been reiterated multiple times throughout the Bible. We see it in chapter 17
We even see it in chapter 14 where prior to even the the wrath being poured out
You have an angel coming and saying or not prior
but during the wrath you have an angel coming and saying Babylon has fallen has fallen and
The reason he's saying that is because you might as well stick a fork in it because it's already done. Okay?
Now go with me if you would go back to chapter 17 if you would
So it's destruction has already been foretold
Let me read to you from Isaiah 21 verse 9 it says and behold here come at the chariot of men
With a couple of horsemen and he answered and said Babylon is fallen is fallen and all the graven images of our gods
He hath broken unto the ground now, obviously there was an immediate fulfillment of this in Isaiah's day in
Jeremiah's day
however
This is a foreshadowing of what's gonna take place in the end times and in fact
It fits the bill perfectly because we see here that when it's fallen all the graven images of our gods
He have broken unto the ground folks the United States of America if it's Babylon has a lot of graven images
The
capitals
Washington DC are just permeated with icons and
Devils and false gods and you know what that's enough false gods to fulfill this prophecy that all the graven images of our gods
He hath broken up unto the ground. Okay now
What how does he do this? Well, the Bible tells us over and over again that Babylon shall be burned with fire
Right look at look at verse 16 of Revelation 17
it says and the ten horns which thou saws upon the beast thee shall hate the whore and
Shall make her desolate and naked and shall eat her flesh and burn her with fire
Go to chapter 18 and let's look at verse number 8
We see there that he's gonna leave the the Kings are gonna leave her desolate naked
They shall eat her flesh and burn her with fire look at verse number 8 of chapter 18
It says 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 judges her. He said well, hold on a second
I thought it was the Kings who are destroying Babylon here. It says that the Lord God is the one who's judging her. It's both
Because these are these are the Lord's hired goons to carry out his will and he's gonna use
their wickedness and he's gonna use their power because he has Satan on a short leash to accomplish this task of
Destroying Babylon. Okay when it's no longer useful
But notice that it says over and over again. He's gonna burn it with fire. He's gonna burn it with fire
I mean why use such a way to destroy a nation why use fire to destroy
Babylon which we believe to be the United States of America. Well, I'll tell you why
Okay
The Bible tells us in Psalm 9 verse 17 that the wicked shall be turned into hell and all nations that forget God
Look, he's not playing around when he says that this is not just poetic, you know
Terminology that God is using here to say that the wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God
This is not a poetical phrase this is legitimate and in fact, we see this carried out in the end times with Babylon
Because this is exactly what happens to battle. What happens to Babylon? It's turned into hell
I'm not talking about it's transformed until we're talking about people are literally that nation will literally be turned into hell
Why because it forgot God?
Well, I'm not us pastor me here the United States of America in God we trust
Haven't you heard all the anthems and all the you know, you know Americans and Republicans and conservatives
We're all for God. You're for the little gee God
And look folks anytime someone says that tell them can you you know, narrow that down a little bit? What God are you talking about?
Are you talking about the god of this world? Because yeah, if you're talking about the god of this world Babylon
Yeah, you're absolutely right in that God you do trust
Because he's the one who not only runs the world and in fact, he's running the United States of America
That's why folks we don't put our dependency on governments politicians for our freedoms
It's in the Bible
All the nations that forget God now look throughout the ages
The Bible tells us there's always been a remnant according to the election of grace
There's always been seven thousand prophets who have not bowed the need to bail what is that referring to it's referring to save people
Say people have always existed in different nations
But it's always been a remnant a residue a small amount of people who have accomplished the work of God
During that time period right but here let me just let me just say this is that
Just because you have a remnant we have a remnant here in the United States
Just because we have a remnant in the United States. The remnant will not impede the judgment of God upon the United States
Because the remnant that exists in this generation was not here when the sins and the iniquities were being carried out in the previous generation
You think about Josiah the king who was a righteous King, you know
He was touched by God and he wanted to get right with God
He found the book of the book of the law inside the house of God and he was responsible for a great
Reformation in the nation of Israel and God was merciful to Josiah, but he said, you know what?
I'm still gonna judge Israel though not because of you
You can maybe you know, Josiah basically
Allowed that the judgment of God would not come in his lifetime
But it wouldn't impede the judgment of God because it was still coming you understand
So in like manner, you know, you say could we slow down the judgment of God?
I don't really know but I know this we can see a lot of people saying before that
And I don't think it even matters to be honest with you
I think what matters is that we focus on the main thing which is preaching the Word of God
Preaching the Word of God getting the truth out there getting people saved and you know, say pulling them out of the fire
Save with fear pulling them out of the fire hitting the garment that's even spotted by the flesh. That's our responsibility. That's our fight
Amen, and you know what? We can be like a Josiah and put the Word of God first and say hey
We found the book of the of the law in the house of God
We need to make sure that we're executing it
Even if we can stop the judgment of God from coming upon the nation of Israel
But that shows us that the judgments coming no matter what and the nations that forget God
God does not forget that nation. Okay, and look let me just remind you from what I said last week
The United States of America, you know did not start off a Christian nation
Man it takes off a lot of Republicans
That's like Bible today
These politicians these are our founding fathers they were they were Freemasons
Freemasons are not independent fundamental Baptist folks
Well, yeah, but they stood for for our our values no they stood for their own agenda which is the secret destiny of America
Look it up. It's gonna break your heart
It's true though, okay
Their agenda was to create a nation fit for
Babylon in order to establish a new world order in the Antichrist
That's what it's for and it's found throughout the United States and their sculptures and in their idolatry. I mean truth in plain sight folks
This nation was created for the Antichrist
You're so anti-american I'm for God I'm for Jesus I'm pro-jesus
Well, you know, you know, you gotta be a bit of a patriot though and I'm so sick and tired of that nonsense
You know and look don't let me don't make me reiterate what I said last week. Look that's that's Trump's
That's Trump's agenda right there
Americanism not globalism
You know and you got your preterist out there who are probably loving that
You have your your people who believe that you know
We're gonna usher in the kingdom and permeate all the politics and permeate the businesses and we're gonna establish the kingdom of God here
In this world and this could be our opportunity to do so because it's Americanism not globalism not happening is what it is
It's a sleight of hand folks
Christians have been duped. Okay. So what can we do?
Well, first and foremost whoever's under the sound of my boys needs to get saved if you don't think that
Okay, first and foremost if you don't know that you're safe you need to get saved
Okay, and once you're saved you need to open your eyes that you may behold wondrous things out of the law of God
Just wake up
You know and stop being this well America first and then Christianity second. No Christianity first
Okay
Babylon will be destroyed and if we're living in those days where this could potentially happen in our lifetime
The United States of America will be
Destroyed by the way this this that very thought should help us to loosely hold the things of this world, right?
Because you know your your house your vehicle
No one has a yacht in here, but you know your yacht your boat your canoe or something your raft or whatever
It is you have, you know, it's all gonna burn
It's not gonna be here
So
We know for a fact just generally speaking
That America let's say okay. Let's just put it this way. Let's say America is now Babylon. Okay, it's still gonna burn
I'll give you that. Okay, maybe America is not Babylon. All right, it's still gonna burn
Because it did forget God and he said that the wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God
Okay, so that's that promise is still gonna be fulfilled folks
Guaranteed, all right
Revelation 18, let's let's start. Let's look at why Babylon is being destroyed
Okay, because we see a destruction on a massive scale throughout the world
I mean God is pouring out his wrath and great measures upon the entire
World and then he kind of saves the best for last at the end of Daniel 70th week with Babylon
Why is it that it's being destroyed in such a violent way?
Well, first and foremost it's because of her inhabitants
Okay, it's not the land
It's not because of the mountains. It's not because of the landscape. It's not because of the way it looks
It's because of the inhabitants of the land
And look from the Old Testament. God has always had beef with the inhabitants of the land
And any time he was he's moving in to establish his people upon a specific portion of land
He's got it. He's always told them you need to wipe out the people and take out the inhabitants of the land, right?
The abominable inhabitants of the land now. No, I'm not saying that that's what we got to do. Okay
You know, we're not living in those days where we're gonna come into Omani and just remove every fag and you know
It'd be great. Okay, but I'm saying like that's not our responsibility obviously
Okay, let me read to you from Leviticus 18 24 25. Excuse me says and the land is defiled
Therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon him and the land itself
Vomiteth out her inhabitants
So why does God wanted to destroy specific lands because of the fact that there's iniquity in it and the land itself
Vomits out the inhabitants. It has vile wicked people within that land now look at verse number one of
Revelation 18 and after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven having great power and the earth was lightened with his glory
And he cried mightily with a strong voice saying Babylon the great is fallen is fallen and has become what the
habitation of
devils and
the hold of every foul spirit and a cage of every unclean and
hateful bird
Now notice the categories here of what's dwelling within Babylon. You have the habitation you have the devil's
You have the foul spirits and you have a cage of every unclean and hateful bird now turn with me if you would to
Go to let's see here
Go to Isaiah
Chapter 34 if you would Isaiah chapter 34
I'm gonna spend some time on this
I'm sorry, Isaiah 13
I'm a retreat from Isaiah 34 verse 14 says the wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island
And the satyr shall cry to his fellow and the screech owl also shall rest there and find for herself a place of rest
This is referring to a foreshadowing of the destruction of Babylon telling us what type of animals will dwell there
Look at chapter 13 in verse 19
It says in Babylon the glory of kingdoms the beauty of the Chaldees Excellency shall be as when God overthrew
Sodom and Gomorrah now before I get into my next point, let's just focus on this for a second
It's a coincidence
It's a coincidence that Babylon is being overthrown like what like Sodom and Gomorrah
Now, let me just remind you if you have not read through the Bible, how was Sodom and Gomorrah overthrown with fire?
With fire
God basically took the coals of hell
Scoop them up and just drop them on Sodom and Gomorrah and just completely demolished it
No inhabitants
No people no buildings just completely destroyed
Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them in like manner the Bible says
So that's a good description that we see there, right
Says because we're talking about Babylon falling and it's telling us that's gonna be overthrown as Sodom and Gomorrah
Jude 7 says even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them in like manner given themselves over to
Fornication and going after strange flesh are set forth for an example suffering the vengeance of eternal fire
Second Peter tells us and turning the cities of Sodom Gomorrah into ashes
Condemned them with an overthrow making them and in sample into those that after should live on Gavi
So what does the Bible tell us about Sodom and Gomorrah's overthrow about their destruction? It's supposed to be an example to other nations
So
That when other nations wonder are we gonna be destroyed by God?
Well, let's look at the example of other cities that were destroyed of the Lord
Let's look at nations that were destroyed of God. Do we fit the qualities of that nation? Well, Sodom Sodom and Gomorrah? Yes
Now obviously not to that extent
But you know what? There's sodomites. I mean the United States of America
loves fags
And because of that God is disgusted by it and because of that God wants to destroy it
Okay, look at verse 20
It says it shall never be inhabited neither shall he be dwelt in from generation to generation
Neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there neither shall the shepherds make their fold there
but while beasts of the desert shall lie there and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures and
Owls shall dwell there and satyrs shall dance there
So on and so forth now
The unclean and hateful birds that we see in Revelation chapter 18 is referring to these doleful creatures the owls, etc
But the unclean and hateful birds is not referring to like a class of birds. We're not talking about like a zoo here
Okay, it's not like well Babylon's gonna be destroyed and then you know
He's just such an animal lover that he's just gonna allow all the animals and these birds to just inhabit the United States of America
now
You say how do you know that because of the fact that it says unclean and hateful birds
Unclean that term unclean or unclean bird automatically. What do you think of when you hear that Old Testament?
Levitical law Moses law the Mosaic law, right?
This is an unclean something that we see in the book of Revelation, which is the New Testament
So we know that those things were already done away with right, you know
The Bible tells us in the book of Hebrews that
Meats drinks and divers washings in carnal ordinances were imposed upon the people until the time of the Reformation
So in under the Mosaic law, they were not allowed to eat
You know owls and just these these dirty animals unclean birds
You can eat chicken or hands or whatever, but not owls not these unclean, you know, not vultures though
I don't know anybody who would want to eat a vulture, but I'm saying, you know these unclean animals Ravens or whatever
Those are unclean animals. You were not allowed to eat those things, but that was only for a specific period of time
What it was meant to do is symbolically represent something else, right?
When Jesus Christ was crucified the Bible says that he made a show of them openly triumphing over it the Bible says so he became that
representation of a lava what we see in the Old Testament and so the unclean and hateful birds
Really what that's referring to in the Old Testament when it tells them not to touch of those things
It's basically representing separation from unclean what people
Unclean people and isn't that interesting and hateful?
birds
You ever made a hateful bird. I
Don't know hateful. I just know birds, you know birds are just birds
I don't know of a bird that like hates me or has hated anything
These are qualities that he's putting upon animals, but it what it's referring to is people. Okay?
This is what that's talking about
Now you say what's the significance? Well second Corinthians 6? What does the Bible tell us be naive unequal yoke together?
With unbelievers, right for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness
What communion hath light with darkness and what Concord hath Christ with Belial?
What part hath he that believeth with in infidel? What agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
For a year the temple of the Living God as God had said I will dwell in them and walk in them and I will
Be their God that shall be my people look what it says
Wherefore come out from among them be separate saith the Lord and touch not the unclean thing
And I will receive you. Well, that's interesting. Look at verse 4 of chapter 18
Verse 4 chapter 18 says and I heard another voice from heaven say come out of her my people
They be not partakers of her sins and they receive not of her plagues the Bible says so when the Bible is talking about that
Babylon has become the habitation of devils
The habitation of unclean birds and hateful birds and all these things
It's referring to the fact that the United States of America Babylon is filled with a bunch of wicked people
And look, we're not just talking about
sinners we're talking about
Devils
We're talking about reprobates. We're talking about people who are possessed
By Satan they're possessed by devils
They're possessed by by demons in high places. This country is filled and permeated by wicked people
You could say it's the habitation
of them
Fact
You go to Hollywood habitation of devils
You go to the White House habitation of devils
You go to the politics of this world
habitation of devils
You go to the darkest most obscure places the the most dangerous places of this country. It's a habitation of
devils the Bible says
Unclean hateful birds Oh hateful. What does that sound like? Sounds like those who are haters of God?
You say well, I don't know anybody who hates me then obviously you're not living a godly life
This is a all that will live godly in Christ. Jesus shall suffer persecution if they hated Jesus, they'll hate you, right?
and
This is why he tells the people come out of her my people
They be not partakers of her sins that he received none of her plagues now
You know, what do we speculate from that verse, you know?
Obviously there's saved people during this time because people are getting saved in the United States during this time
You have 144,000 are going out
They're preaching the Word of God or maybe they hear about you know
The two witnesses and they're preaching the Word of God as well
This could be referring to a remnant during that time as well
And he's maybe this is like a final roll call to say hey, you need to go like Mexico or something
You need to cross the border
Okay, because I'm about to destroy
Babylon come out from them be not partakers of her sins and look they're not obviously Christians are not partaking of the sins
What he's telling them is don't partake of the consequences of their sin
Because Babylon will be destroyed during this time, you know, go to Canada. I know
Hey, but this time, you know
God's like this time. It's okay, right?
This place is filled with Satanism I
Mean isn't it interesting that it says the habitation of Devils and then the parallel passage that in Isaiah 13 is satyrs a
Satyr is a what it's a goat, right?
Baphomet I
Mean, that's where they're truck. What are they trying to do in a lot of these capital in the capitals of a lot of these
States they're trying to literally put an image of Baphomet there
Next to the Ten Commandments and look let me just say this is that the Church of Satan has every right to do so under
the constitutional law
Now under the Word of God, they deserve to be stoned with stones. Amen
I'm not a constitutionalist. I'm a Bible believer
And under the Word of God stone him with stones
Because they're trying to get people to serve a false god and not just a false god Satan himself. They're open about it
Satanism is catching is
Catching a momentum. It's growing. A lot of people are joining that religion because that's exactly what it is and
Look, I'm telling you they're seeking to put how many you've seen the image of Baphomet with the two little kids to the left
And to the right, right and they're fighting to put that you know at the state capitals and look they say this
They said we don't want to get rid of the Ten Commandments. We just want Baphomet to be right next to the Ten Commandments
You know and they say this they're like and they they make fun of
Republican Christians because they're like, oh you guys have stood in the Constitution for so long
And you guys never took into account that that Constitution also fights for us as well
And
They get it gives us the liberty to exercise our religion and put Baphomet there and next to the Ten Commandments
And you know what these these Christians who are so
Pro-constitution and they're so Republican and they're so this and that and they forsook the Word of God
It's like a checkmate on them
Not me
They're like, well, yeah, you're constantly in my constant you tell me my Bible this is my Constitution
This is my Constitution right here the precepts statutes of God is what it is
And Satan is need to be stoned with stones folks
They're witches, right
But this place is filled with Satanism and devil worship from the common people to those in high places
So you say oh, why is Babylon gonna be destroyed because of this?
When you see the Satanism you see the child molestation the rape and the violence it's like why not
Detroit Babylon
Why keep something like this around?
The land is defiled folks
Some Christians need to wake up and recognize that the United States of America is not their final home
You know, they need to be looking for that new Jerusalem
They need to be looking for that millennial reign
They need to be looking for the new heaven and the new earth is what they need to be looking for
Looking forward to right
Some Christians act like they're just gonna be forever
Like like Jesus is gonna come back in his millennial reign. It's just gonna be like, you know, I like America. Give me that flag. I
Like how you guys roll
No, I don't think so
The Bible says in Hosea
Go to go to Isaiah chapter 1 Isaiah chapter 1
It's interesting when you study the book of Hosea
there's a lot of parallels between the nation of Israel during Hosea's time and then
Babylon of the of the New Testament the United States of America
because it became a country that would just completely give it over to
whoredom to idolatry
to wickedness and
The Bible literally says in Hosea chapter 2 verse 16 and it shall be at that day sayeth the Lord that thou shall call me
Ishi and shall call me no more of Bali
For I will take away the name of Balaam out of her mouth and they shall no more be remembered by
Thy by their name. So what is Jesus? What is God saying here? Well
People a lot of people don't know this but we think of bail Balaam. We automatically think of who?
Satan right and rightfully so but that was a name that was actually first designated to God
Bali was a name that was God because it means Lord. Okay, Bali means Lord
But what happened was is that the inhabitants the God's people during that time the chosen nation of Israel?
you know they had begun to serve false gods and they began to embrace Balaam the devil and
so that
God, you know Satan was worshiped and then they became so desecrated that God didn't want anything to do with the name anymore
They're just like I don't want you to call me Bali anymore. In fact, I'm gonna take Balaam out of your mouth
I'll give you an example of this. So like for example in Spanish, you know, you often hear how many speak Spanish in here?
You know when when you know, maybe your parents I know my parents used to do this, you know if they say hey
You know, I'll see you tomorrow. They'll say oh, holla. Oh
Hala
What do you what do you hear there Allah?
So in other words, it's another way of saying God willing because Allah basically means God
But you know what we as Christians would never use that
We would never call Jesus or Jehovah God Allah why because that name has been desecrated by Islam
Right in like manner Bali was a name that was given to God or it's a name that God chose
But God didn't want to be called that anymore because of the fact that they had been desecrated and become an abominable
Title designated for Satan himself. He said what are you trying to get at? Well in God we trust
It's being desecrated
Now I'm not saying that he's gonna change his name. What I'm saying is this is he's gonna destroy
The the nation on which that dollar bill that has in God we trust is representing
You know because that's where you see it right in God we trust and look that means nothing to
Vast majority of the people who are carrying that in their wallets
You know
They have begun to worship Satan look at Isaiah 1 verse 6
It says from the sole of the foot even unto the head
There is no soundness in it, but wounds and bruises and putrefying sores
They have not been closed neither bound up neither mollified with ointment
What is the saying you know the nation from those who are basis among them to those who are at the head all of them?
are corrupt and
The same thing can be said of the United States of America
You know from the basis of the people who are common even unto the heads those who are in charge of the United States of
America this country has been corrupted
Are you saying there's no hope there's hope for individuals
Amen
There's hope for you know the teenager the 14 year old
There's hope for the family that's out there who has not been corrupted, but as far as the nation is concerned. It's too late
too late
It's become full of the habitations of cruelty
You said why do you say that?
Go back to Revelation chapter 18 look at verse 13
when talking about all of the
Possessions that it has and you know all of the riches and the delicacies that it
possessed
Amongst them look what it says in verse 13 and cinnamon
And odors and ointments and frankincense and wine and oil and fine flour and wheats and beasts and sheep and horses and chariots
So this is referring to all of the you know the luxuries that are coming in to Babylon
You know it's talking about the horses and the chariots is referring to the vehicles right, but then it says this
slaves and the souls of men
Folks this is referring to human sex trafficking
More than 300,000 young people are being used for sex trafficking in America today every year
It's way more than that. They say it's estimated to like 300,000 children and teenagers. It's way more than that
Way more
You know when it comes to coronavirus, you know they they they bump up the numbers
You know when it comes to human sex trafficking they try to bump down the numbers
But this is fact okay
You know and people don't like to think about this, but this is reality folks this stuff takes place in our country
Where children are violated?
sodomites and pedophiles and perverts and queers are allowed to roam freely and
Violate people molest people and rape them. This is a habitation of cruelty
where they're allowed to live and
Murder and pillage and do whatever they want this has become a habitation of Devils
You said what do you what are you trying to say? I'm trying to give you a bad taste for where you live
You want to go somewhere else I am I'm going to heaven I
Just my planes not here yet
You know I'm not I'm not there yet. I'm leaving don't worry
Don't worry
You know
What I'm trying to do is help you to be able to become more eternally minded
And don't get me wrong look. I love the United States of America, but not the nation itself
I love the people the individuals who have not been corrupted as of yet who still have a chance they still have an opportunity
They still have hope
That's what I love I
Love the Christians who are preaching the Word of God who are standing by God's Word who want to learn the truth?
Who are willing to be you know a burning and shining light in a midst of a crooked and perverse nation?
That's what I love
But I don't love what America is
It is a habitation of cruelty. It's a habitation of Devils and unclean fowls and and hateful birds
This is why it's gonna be destroyed
Looking for street for all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. It's had a wrath
You say what is it talk about the one the wine of the wrath of her fornication? We're talking about her conquests
Because remember the United States of America is an empire and an empire does what it?
conquers other nations by force
The United States has a lot of blood on their hands folks of innocent people people have been the recipients of the wine of
her wrath and
The kings of the earth had committed fornication with her and the merchants of the earth have waxed which through her abundance of her delicacies
And I heard another voice from heaven saying come out of her my people
They've been a partakers of her sins, and they received not of her place and by the way this verse can be applied to us today
You know you said well, how can that be applied to us today well in a spiritual way hey stop trying to chase the American
dream
Right come out from among it
Stop trying to chase the American dream to have all kinds of money and have just the most beautiful house and the most beautiful cars
And a yacht and just living on vacation and just kind of just doing the American dream
It's actually a nightmare is what it is
Come out of her my people that you mean a partakers of her sins that you receive not of her plagues
Verse five for her sins have reached unto heaven and God has remembered her iniquities
reward her even as she rewarded you and
Double unto her double according to her works in the cup which she has filled filled to her double
So why is Babylon being destroyed well because of the inhabitants that dwell there in the devil's but not only that
Because of her pride look at verse seven how much she had glorified herself
American
Forget every other nation it's all about America. We're the best
Americanism not globalism and
Live deliciously so much torment and sorrow give her
For she saith in her heart. I said a queen and them no widow and shall see no sorrow
I mean you can the pride is oozing out of the mouth of the horn, right?
Like I said as a queen and no widow shall see no sorrow and by the way
this is happening at the end of Daniel 70th week when all the wrath has been poured out and
Yet she still has the gall to say I shall see no sorrow. What is she doing? She's tempting the Lord God
Let me reach you from Ezekiel 16 verse 49 says behold this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom pride
Fullness of bread and
Abundance of idleness was in her and her daughters neither
Did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy and they were haughty and committed abomination before me?
Therefore I took them away as I saw good now people want to say they try to use this verse to say well
Yeah, that's why you know, the homosexuals were killed, you know, that's why Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed not because they're sodomites
because of their pride
The abundance of bread no, it says in verse 50 they were haughty and committed abomination before me therefore I
Took them away. Look what it says as I saw good
You know anyone who want to call it wants to call this kind of preaching evil
You're gonna have to say what he just said is evil and he just said it was good
You know how he created how he made creation. He saw everything and it was good. Well, he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah said it was good
But notice that one of the elements there is pride right and isn't the United States one of the most prideful nations
ever exists
Untouchable nothing will ever happen to us. We're the most powerful nation verse 8 therefore shall our plagues come and one
day
Death and mourning and famine and she shall be utterly burned with fire for strong is the Lord God who?
Judgeth her notice that the destruction is sudden
Okay, this is how you know that God is mad because it's not a destruction. Look the destruction of the world for example
Right takes three and a half years
And the world's pretty wicked God looks at Babylon says no, we're just doing this in one hour
You know like when you have like a task that you have to get done at home
And you just want to get it out of the way. You're like no we're getting this done now
Well, we could stretch it out for you know, a week or so this project could be done in the next week
No, we're doing it now. I'm getting it done one hour
They just want to get it out of the way. Well in like manner God, that's how God views Babylon
He said he hates it so much that he's gonna destroy it in one hour
And look the Bible tells us be not afraid of sudden feared neither of the desolation of the wicked when it cometh
That's for our future brethren and sisters in Babylon during that time and then
Be not afraid of sudden fear neither of the desolation of the wicked when they come in
Go back to go to look at verse number nine
So she's being destroyed because of the inhabitants that dwell their end are filled with Devils
Being destroyed because of her prize. She's also being destroyed because of her whoredom
Now as I mentioned, you know the book of Hosea
the nation of Israel during Hosea's time has a lot of parallels with the United States even today and
Let me read to you from Hosea 4 verse 12
It says my people ask counsel at their stocks and their staff declareth unto them for the spirit of whoredoms
Hath caused them to err and they have gone a whoring
Under their God chapter 5 verse 4 says they will not frame their doings to turn into their God
for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them what spirit of whoredoms Babylon and
They have not known the Lord
Back to the Hosea chapter 2
Let me read to you from verse 1 it says say unto your brethren am I to your sisters rahuma?
Plead with your mother plead for she is not my wife
Neither am I her husband let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight
Look what it says and her adultries from between her breasts. Now. What is this referring to?
Well in the book of Proverbs you see the admonishment that God gives to a young man who's married
And he tells them to be satisfied with the breast of his wife all the days of his life
Right and he later on defines it by saying how do you get satisfied with the breast of your wife by embracing only your wife?
Okay, because it says why will thou embrace the bosom of a stranger?
So it's referring to their in Proverbs the the instruction there is look is saying this
Hey, you shouldn't be hugging another woman another woman other than your wife you man
I mean aside from your mom and your sister, but you should be embracing only your wife
You should be satisfied with embracing only your wife
That's what it's teaching them and so with that definition in mind when he says here her adultries
From between her breasts the adultries that he's referring to is her idolatry. Why because Israel has embraced
Balaam has embraced idolatry has embraced paganism, and that's where the United States is today
embracing paganism embracing wickedness
Etc. He says in verse 3 lest I strip her naked and set her as in the day that she was born and make her as
A wilderness and set her like a dry land and slay her with thirst and I will not have mercy upon her children
For they be the children of whoredoms for their mother hath played the harlot
She that conceiveth them hath done shamefully for she said I will go after my lovers that
Give me my bread and my water my wool and my flax my oil and my drink
Kind of basically what the United States is doing today
Look at verse 9
I'm already out of time
The kings of the earth who have committed for an occasion and lived deliciously with her shall be well her and lament for her
When they shall see the smoke of her burning
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment saying alas alas that great city babble on that mighty city for in one hour
Is thy judgment come and the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her for no man by their merchandise
Anymore, by the way, this goes on regarding her merchandise all the way to verse 19
Just talk about the merchandise. What does this mean?
It means that whatever nation is being referred to here America is the greatest consumer
It's consuming all of these products and merchandise from all around the world
Okay, and I lived in Long Beach, California
my sister worked for the ports and you see that you see all of the the ports and all the the the
Merchandise that comes into the United States from China. You see it every day. That's something that's very common over there
This is what the United States does. Okay
I'm out of time last point. Why is Babylon being destroyed because God keeps his word. That's why
verse 20
Rejoice over her thou heaven and he holy apostles and prophets for God hath avenged you on her Wow
Why is he telling him to rejoice because he kept his promise
And look this doesn't really hit home to us right now, but it will hit home later on
Because the United States is gonna be a very hostile environment for Christians one day
You think this is bad?
You think the quarantine is bad?
People complain about the quarantine like like we're just being persecuted. This is nothing
compared to the beginning of sorrows
Look I don't like it as much as you do, but I'm just telling you it's not that bad
Okay, try being quarantined with with a gun to your head or something, right a lot different when you actually use violence
We're talking about a habitation of Devils
And if there's Devils
You know inhabiting this land. Those are the same Devils. They're gonna be putting Christians to death
During the beginning of sorrows and
It's gonna be a sorrowful time because of the fact that
People we know are gonna die
People we love are gonna die. We may even lose our lives. We don't know
And you know what we're gonna want revenge
Why would we want revenge because it's gonna be we're gonna see a multitude of injustice that's why
We're gonna see a multitude of innocent people losing their lives
And and not just stripping away their freedom. How about just stripping away their life?
and
That's why he says hey, it's time to it's time to party
Rejoice right
Why because God has to avenge you on?
her and
A mighty angel took a stone took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea same
Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down and shall be found no more at all
No more at all, this is like this is like mafia style here
Casting into the sea like never to return again
Cementing it right and the voice of harpers and musicians and of pipers and trumpeters shall be heard
No more at all in thee, you know
Lady gaga will never be heard again
Billy Eilish will never be heard again
Right
All these wicked people will never ever be heard ever again all this queer music
Will never be heard all this queer CCM will never be heard again
All the Christian contemporary music will never be heard again
All the pipers and
no craftsmen of
Whatsoever craft he be shall be found any more in thee, you know all these people who practice witchcraft
All of these Satanists
Or how about just people who have legitimate businesses, but they're inventors of evil things
Shall never be heard more in thee and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee
And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee. Hey no more light pollution 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
For by thy sorceries were all nations deceived and in her was found the blood of prophets and of Saints
And of all that were slain upon the earth. What does it tell us that last portion that last verse?
very significant
Because notice it says and all that were slain upon the earth
I believe it's just referring to obviously it's referring to that part of that conquest that
The United States has killed a lot of people
But I also believe it's referring to the fact that the United States of America will be like the epicenter of persecution, too
There's a lot of Christians here a lot of same people
and
So what we see at the end of Revelation 18 is this what do we walk away from this?
What should we walk? What should we take away? Just take take this away
God always keeps his promise even if for you it takes long if it seems like it's taking long
Hey, the Lord is not willing that any should perish, right?
But that all should the Lord is not slack
Concerning his promise as some encounter slackness
He's gonna reward this world one day for all the wickedness and injustices that they've created
And thank God for them
Rejoice the Bible says over her. Let's bow our heads and have a word of prayer father. We thank you so much for your word and
Lord
Thank you for
Faithful soul winners in the United States of America
We're still preaching the gospel Lord and I'm thankful for those who
Taught me the Word of God
I pray God that you'd help us as your people that we would take something as revelation
17 and 18 to remind us that this world is not our home. We're just passing through and
May help us to loosely hold
the things of this world that we would not
seek to to
Bury down our stakes too deep into the ground here because this place is gonna go up in flames
It's just gonna be completely destroyed
Please continue to protect us. May your hand be honest
May your favor be upon us Lord help us to continue to see more people saved and do a great work until this
Until the time of the end draws 9 Jesus then we pray
You
