It is a name, from Genesis, a son as it were of Japheth. In the region of the Caucasus, those who were Turks, and Huns, who moved westward, into southern Russia and eastern Europe. Also known as Khazars. They are those from whom have descended many of the vermin who now rule the world behind the scenes, imposters who place blame upon God's people. The region of Gog and the people are those of the north countries who will invade jerusalem with their cohorts from around the middle east. These people (Gog) have gained control of the whole world, while we slept. They will sacrifice Israel and Jerusalem in their quest to rule, but God preserves His remnant. Many who claim to be jews are not, they are of the synagogue of Satan. It's obvious that Satan will rule for a time, and from where and with whom. research the Illuminati, Weishaupt and others. This is the culmination of their big plan. It cannot be stopped. Christ will prevail in time. Gog. It is a name, from Genesis, a son as it were of Japheth.

But, the US is run by the same International bankers who have created all the wars since the 1800s, and who will ascend to power, yielding only to Antichrist as their God. It is a perfect counterfeit with Satan having his people, the Jews, the false Jews, those who are really the sysnagogue of Satan, about whom Jesuus spoke. Why was John "astonished" when he saw the woman who rode the beast? The 7 hilled city of Rome would not have been astonishing to John, but Jerusalem would be. It is also a city built on 7 hills and the world will be run from that city, albeit temporarily, during the new world order and antichrist. Satan will produce a complete counterfeit; city, people, false prophet, false miracles, world domination. The pharisees and their "tradition" which Christ also warned against, are those who were also not Jews in many cases but Edomites. They have created the Talmud, which rabbi's hold higher than the Torah. It is a pig book. The star of David as their sign is satan's star, not Hebrew at all. The whole package of what is today called Israel is a fabrication of Satan, a great delusion. God holds his still though, the true Israelites, who will prevail, and Christ will be King, with a new Jerusalem coming from heaven. Why would a new Jerusalem be needed if it were not polluted? We have been deceived, it will all come to pass, and soon. I used to think that the US was Babylon the Great also.

This can only be a reference the internet, and the multitude of porn sites on it. These porn sited are literally "visible" the world over, all one needs is the technical equipment to capture and decode the signals emanating from said communcations satellites. Secondly, Babylon is identified as being one which "sends death and destruction to all parts of the Earth". Again, the USA is the worlds largest exporter of lethal military hardware, and by far. The weapons we send around the world have been, and are being used to kill literally millions of innocent people. Thirdly, Babylon is described as a place of plenty, awash in gluttony and excess. As 5% of the world's population, the people of the USA consume close to 25% of the oil produced on the planet, and far and away the greatest percentage of its other resources such as timber, metals, food products, furs, concrete, you name it. The fact that places like India and China are growing at incredible rates is still irrelevant, as even with their consumption, we continue to be easily the worlds largest consumer in every area of measurement. So, there you have it, anyone who says that the USA is not "mystery Babylon" is either sadly mistaken, in a state of denial, or just plain out being deceptive. Sorry, but it is just that simple.

There is no way that the U.S. can fulfill the prophecies of Mystery Babylon.

No one would have used the word Islamofascism pre or post World War 2, and is not due to the fact the countries we refer to were not fascist then. They were most certainly fascist at that time, perhaps even more so than now. It's just that we (the United States) had other options for oil and we were not manipulating the political infrastructure of the Middle East to the extent we are today. The bankers who controlled the political process of the United States (post 1913) and acted as catalysts for war between the giants had another agenda at that time. It's funny that many Americans will acknowledge the fascism of others but ignore the fascism of the United States. Well maybe it's not so funny...seems to me that the destruction of Damascus makes perfect sense. The rebirth of Israel coupled with all the other warning signs Jesus told us about is our signal of what is to come. After the destruction of Damascus in a presumed Israeli-Syrian conflict, next on the list is the war against Babylon. I am not sure about this timeline, but it is logical that America will no longer be able to defend Israel against Gog-Magog. It is clear that the United States is Mystery Babylon. The interesting thing is the chronology. It's hard to decipher whether the United States gets destroyed before or after Damascus. It is time for all Christians to repent, not just about the social woes in America. The actions of our leaders and military have violated all of God's laws. The actions of our past four Presidents have been violations of the Constitution and the liberty of American citizens. When are the Christians going to wake up from their slumber?
