-Caveat Lector-
IS AMERICA BABYLON?
By STEWART BEST
Part One
The vast majority of Christians in the United States have been taught that
America is simply not in Bible prophecy. No matter where one may turn,
America is not there, either by name or by any form of code name either.
Thus say the host of America's Christian clergy to their flock. The second
thing they are told is that Babylon is NEVER TAUGHT ANYWHERE IN SCRIPTURE
AS A NATION. Babylon is a SYSTEM, and most view it as a RELIGIOUS SYSTEM OF
SOME SORT.
Prophecy said these views would surface at the time of end. It is the mark
of apostasy to DENY YOUR IDENTITY, YOUR SIN, AND THE TIME OF YOUR
VISITATION. In fact, that is the essence of all apostasy, THE REJECTION OF
SCRIPTURE AS IT APPLIES TO A PERSON, COMMUNITY OR NATION. It is always
SOMEONE ELSE, SOMEWHERE ELSE, AND AT SOME UNKNOWN "FUTURE TIME". Never is
it NOW, US and OUR NATION.
Does it not seem odd to you that America, the GREATEST NATION IN THE WORLD,
the greatest evangelical nation; that took the Gospel of Christ to the four
corners of the world; THE RICHEST NATION ON THE EARTH, who has given more
aid to nations than any other; THE NATION TO HAVE WON TWO MAJOR WORLD WARS
and many others; IS NOT EVEN MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE? That God would forget
a nation that has been central to the survival of Israel in this age? Not
even in a cryptic way?
That is like saying God is blind in one eye, and cannot see out of the
other! It is accusing God of utter negligence! But it is not God who is
NEGLIGENT. It is not God who FORGOT AMERICA in prophecy. It is not God who
failed to paint a picture that was obvious to those that wanted to find it.
IT IS NOT GOD, BUT THE FALSE PROPHETS OF AMERICA WHO HAVE UTTERLY FAILED
THEIR FLOCK. They are DECEIVED, AND THUS ARE DECEIVERS AND HYPOCRITES, FOR
THEY LEAD MILLIONS TO ETERNAL RUIN.
God told the citizens of BABYLON THE GREAT, AMERICA, exactly what would
happen in America, and pointed a finger directly at the CHRISTIAN
SHEPHERDS. Why do you suppose that God would do that? Why would He pick a
specific group and lay the blame right at their feet? Because it is GOD'S
PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ANTICHRIST NATION, THE
NATION THAT SPAWNS ANTICHRIST. Remember that Antichrist rises in DECEPTION.
"My people (Christians) hath been LOST SHEEP (UNSAVED, UNREGENERATE - HELL
BOUND): THEIR SHEPHERDS (THE CHRISTIAN CLERGY, THE EVANGELISTS, THE
PREACHERS, THE TEACHERS) HAVE CAUSED THEM TO GO ASTRAY,..(Jeremiah 50:6).
The shepherds of God's people in Babylon America embrace a FALSE SALVATION
GOSPEL (Matthew 7:21-23; 2 Peter 2:1-3), which leads MILLIONS into eternal
ruin. Their salvation Gospel is an UTTERLY FALSE GOSPEL. It is
"sugar-coated", and an ALL POSITIVE GOSPEL. That is what Jeremiah means
when he says: "they have turned them AWAY on the MOUNTAINS; they have gone
from MOUNTAIN TO HILL, they have FORGOTTEN THEIR RESTING PLACE."
God fights His wars IN THE VALLEY. True salvation lies IN THE VALLEY. If
you refuse the VALLEY EXPERIENCE (THE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF THE SALVATION
DOCTRINE) you will never FIND YOUR RESTING PLACE. Jesus said you MUST PICK
UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM. Babylon's gospel of salvation HAS NO CROSS,
NO DEATH OF SELF, AND THEREFORE NO TRUE LIFE. It is an utterly false
salvation doctrine. IT SWEEPS THE VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICAN CHRISTIANS INTO
ETERNAL HELLFIRE. That is why God says they ARE LOST SHEEP. They ARE lost,
LOST FOREVER.
"We are confounded, because we have heard REPROACH; SHAME HATH COVERED OUR
FACES: FOR STRANGERS ARE COME INTO THE SANCTUARIES OF THE LORD'S HOUSE
(Jeremiah 51:51)."
Indeed, the false Christian clergy ARE STRANGERS and they hold forth a
FALSE GOSPEL, that leads to their REPROACH AND LOSS at the judgment seat of
Christ. They shall one and all BE ASHAMED, and now face ETERNAL RUIN FOR
EVER AND EVER. This is the primary reason why AMERICAN CHRISTIANS reject
that America is Babylon. They have been UTTERLY MISLEAD BY FALSE SHEPHERDS.
It is part of prophecy. BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE ONE OF THEM! You can
extricate yourself from God's disfavor by SIMPLY ACCEPTING WHAT GOD SAYS AS
FACT, and rejecting all the nonsense of these hell bound false leaders.
In this first part of our investigation we will focus on the aspect of
whether or not God teaches that Babylon the Great is in fact A NATION AMONG
THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD. GOD SAYS BABYLON IS A NATION. To claim otherwise
is to utterly contradict GOD and all of HIS PROPHETS that spoke of BABYLON.
The mark of a FALSE TEACHER is one who DENIES OR CONTRADICTS THE WORD OF
GOD, usually in an effort to prove his/her views correct. WE ARE ALL LIARS,
AND GOD IS THE ONLY ONE WHO TELLS THE TRUTH.
The issue before you, then, is not your opinion, your biases, your
intelligence, your standing before God, your education or your
denominational belief structure. IT IS WHETHER OR NOT YOU WILL ACCEPT WHAT
GOD HAS TO SAY EXACTLY AS HE SAYS IT. The vast majority of Christians
