He compares Jerusalem to Sodom and Egypt not Babylon.!
oh ok!
spiritual Sodom and Egypt is ok, but spiritual Babylon isn't?
especially since they went to Babylon and the Pharisees built a religion there and brought it to Jerusalem? coincidence?
Romans 9:29
And as Isaiah predicted, “If the Lord of hosts had not left us offspring, we would have been like Sodom and become like Gomorrah.”
concerning (Egypt) slavery:
Galatians 4
Bond and Free
21Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law?
22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman and one by the free woman.
23But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise.
24This is allegorically speaking, for these
women are two covenants: one
proceeding from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar.
25Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.
26But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother.
as for idolatry (fornication) Sodom, well:
Jeremiah 3:8
She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, I had sent her away with a decree of divorce. Yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she too went and played the whore.
Ezekiel 16:46
Your older sister was Samaria, who lived to the north of you with her daughters; and your younger sister, who lived to the south of you with her daughters, was Sodom.
so, since the oral Traditions of The Pharisees is what we know of today as the Talmud/Zohar/Kabbalah, why wouldn't Jerusalem be called Mystery, Babylon?
