DESTINY OF JERUSALEM
God has promised Israel some things
like peace and the land forever. Jerusalem is a major part of that promise. The peace of Jerusalem is
the
New Jerusalem that comes down from heaven. I don't like what I see
because I
love Israel, they are my family. I must speak it like it is, however.

(Does the bride or bridegroom ever speak
from
Babylon, or is
there a
shadow
of
Jerusalem hidden within these words? I propose that at the
end of
time,
Jerusalem
becomes Babylon. Babylon is more than the name of
a city. It is an
attitude and
means confusion. Is this the message
in the words Mystery Babylon?
There is a
New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven. Where
does the abomination in Daniel 11 set up his tabernacles? Why does God
destroy Jerusalem)

land of Esau, and will
be made desolate when the whole world
rejoices, Ezek 35:14; which is when
the witnesses are killed, Rev 11:10. It is also when
Israel knows the lord, Ezek
35:15.)

my
wife died
Ezek 16:8 I spread my skirt over thee and covered thy nakedness:
yea, I swear unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, and
thou becamest mine
(note: The lord God is speaking about
Jerusalem
as his wife, and Ezekiel
is a reference.)
(note: When she dies she is inhabited by the
spirit of Babylon
like the beast
is inhabited
by the spirit Satan. She becomes Babylon, but there
is a new Jerusalem
promised to
Israel.)

therein shall die in
like manner
Is 51:17 Jerusalem shall drink of the cup of the Lord’s fury at the

and
Rome;
but does it himself the third time.)

and a
crown upon her head appears in heaven
Rev 12:6 The woman fled into the wilderness
Rev 17:3 He carried me away into the wilderness and I saw a woman
riding upon a scarlet
colored beast
(note: John is shown the judgment of the
whore, Rev 17:1, and the
mystery of the woman, Rev 17:7; therefore they
are not the same woman.
However, the woman
has a name, MYSTERY BABYLON, THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS
OF THE EARTH.)
Jer 51:33 Jerusalem is the daughter of Babylon
Ezek 16:61 Sodom and Samaria (sisters in verse 46) become the
daughters of Jerusalem
but not by the Lord’s covenant
(NOTE: SEE DETAILS ON THIS TRANSITION IN,

OF JERUSALEM, UNDER THE NAME
OF BABYLON

them (Israel) that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me
Rev 18:4 Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her
sins
and
that ye receive not of her plagues
Lk 21:20 When ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know
that the
desolation thereof is nigh
Lk 21:21-22 Then let them which be in Judea flee to the mountains and
let
them in the midst of it (Jerusalem) depart out for these be the
days of
vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled
Jer 51:2 In the day of trouble (the day of evil) they shall be against
her
round about
Jer 51:4 The slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans

replenished
from
the east
Jer 7:29 The lord forsakes the generation of his wrath
Jer 51:6 Flee out of Babylon for this is the time of the lord’s
vengeance
VII. JERUSALEM
DWELLS SAFELY
Jer 33:16 In those days shall Judah be saved and Jerusalem shall dwell
safely and this is
the name wherewith she shall be called, THE LORD
OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

henceforth there shall
no more come into thee the uncircumcised and
the unclean

from
God out
of heaven prepared as a bride adorned for her husband
Rev 21:27 There shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth,

know that it is I
that doth speak
