There is only one CITY on earth where God has chosen to put his NAME – Jerusalem. MY MY MY WHAT A JEW HATER!
Ooh look. Its the mother protecting herself.
ADL thought crimes.
Sorry...not an effective tactic against spirit filled Christians.

Oh and Jerusalem is God's chosen city, not satan's. People need to think before they speak if they know anything about scripture.
No one is hating on Israel. It's common opinion that Mystery Babylon was Jerusalem. Holding such views doesn't make you anti-semitic or a hater of Jews.
Jesus called us to love, so no true Christian is going to hate anyone.
This is a matter of a Bible interpretation, it's not about hate.
Can we quit with all the political correctness?
I disagree. Luke 11 predicts the events of Titus fulfilled in AD 70. where there was greater destruction in Jerusalem that had ever been before. The city was prety much leveled. I would say they paid a prety deep price. They have been out of their city. with no temple for close to 2000 years now.
I have read many of them. Which also includes the greek. Which would include all sides. I still do not see it.
Babylon is a system which started in babylon, and spread to the whole world. It is a cult very much like Christianity in that it has the mother child, the death and resurrection of the son. The sign of the cross. only it was a T. etc etc.
It was this system that Israel was chastened for in the OT. because they were "playing the harlot" with this system.
Israel could not play the harlot if she was the harlot.
[/QUOTE]Satan loves war and that is his plan to take down as many as possible with him. He knows his time is short. He doesn't protect his own, but intends to destroy them in his plans.Nor does this make sense. Satan (who rules the beast) destroys the harlot, and it says eats her flesh. As Jesus said while on earth. satan can not go against himself that would be foolish on his part. No army would attack itself it would weaken its whole army
The 10 kings eat the whores flesh. The 10 are the new system to come. These 10 are quietly planning and scheming to bring the world into bankruptcy so that they can 'rescue' the nations and bring in their own system "One World Government"
“Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters,
It is not a city. It is an organization which sits on many waters. Jerusalem is not near any water. In fact according to my neighbor who is from there. it is a ways away from any water. then it would only be near one body of water. Not many.
if we wanted proof all we would have to do is go further.
“The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.
I hate to say it Zone, I love ya and all but this makes no sense. If Jesus fulfilled daniel 9 and made the need for jerusalem null and void. He owuld have been done with jeruslaem when he rose from the dead. or at the latest pentecost. To say it was not unil 30 some years later makes no sense.
I will be honsest here. I have studied end time eschatology for many years. And although it has been a few years since I have looked into it. I never heard jerusalem called the harlot until I heard it in here.
I would not call it a common opinion unless it became common within the last few years.
I think it is a stretch to say the City of rev 11 and the city of rev 17 are the same. It does not make sense for John to be told by God that Jerusalem is sodom and egypt. And not call her bebylon if that is what he meant to call her.
Number two The city in revelation says the city has control of nations and kings. Jerusalem has never that I know of , ruled anyone. Not to mention. revised Rome is said to be the final great power. Jerusalem is not rome. Nor would rome ever allow jerusalem to have that great of power that it could influence other nations under roman tyrany. which is going on at this time.
as with all scripture. scripture must agree. not contradict. It all sounds good on paper. But does not make sense when taken with other aspects of scripture.
As with all scripture.
It would be a great mystery if the church the world cherishes and things is the church which was given by God was found to be babylon. Not to mention. the world would morn greatly if the roman church was destroyed (most of the worlds christians are catholic. in fact most nations are catholic nations. they have great influence over nations and kings.
Actually I get the roman thing from the prophesies of the 4 kingdoms in daniel. I like to take daniel and parallel with revelation since they both speak of end times.
also remember, by the time revelation was written. the jews and what they believed were few and far between. Most of the church was gentile by this time and would not be thinking jewish things. I doubt many gentile chrisitians ( would would be the first readers) would have assumed jerusalem as a power on earth.
lol its good to see ya. it is nice to get your views. you help run the place. it is nice when you come around once in awhileI am learning alot about this view some in here have I have never heard before. It is nice to have all the information. not just bits and peaces. Plus this is not salvic. And a subject I love to discuss. Probably my favorite subject in scripture. with the exception of history..lol
I just hate when it gets heated. Although I am guilty of that sometimes myself. I have to learn to walk away sometimes and come back later.
Thankyou for the help.We know that these events will take place in Jerusalem after the third temple is built because we see that the antichrist will stand in the holy temple and magnify himself as God. Dan 8:10-13 Also Zech 14:1-4 shows that when Jesus returns to destroy the beast he will descend on the mount of Olives before Jerusalem on the east
