The Organization of the Kingdom of Babylon
Babylon that appears in Revelation is a kingdom that the gods spoken of in 2 Kgs 17 and Dn 2 are with. Although Babylonia in the Old Testament was an allied nation, it was a kingdom of organizations that could not unite; as each nation worshipped their own gods. The capital city of Babylonia was Babylon (Babel, Gn 10:10).
The people of Babylon were those who entered God’s kingdom, Israel, in the time of the Old Testament. They lived there, created factions, and worshipped the gods of various nations as well as their own gods. In the end, they are those who departed from God and His kingdom. Babylon is also the kingdom that devoured God’s kingdom, Jerusalem (Judah) (Ref. 1 Kgs 17:24, 30, Dn 2, Rv 18:1-3).
Babylon’s organization opposed God’s chosen people because the god(spirit) that was with them was different. Fights and wars existed because the god(spirit) that was with them was different. Just by looking at the appearance, we are able to know that each country of the world consists of different races. However, if you see the countries within the religious world, there is currently no country that goes by the name of Babylon. At the time of the fulfillment of Revelation, this organization uses the same religious name (Christianity) as God’s kingdom. Babylon in Revelation is part of the same country and same religion, and they read the same Bible and use the same name. Therefore, it is impossible to figure out which god(spirit) is inside them just by their appearance. However, as the actions of this organization of Babylon are in accordance with their own gods, their actions are different from the actions of those who belong to God; and their actions can be called lies (Ref. Jn 8:41-44).
The name of Babylon, their organization, and what they have done comes out in the Book of Revelation, which is the last work of God. While ‘Babylon’ comes out in Rv 14, 16, 17 and 18, in Rv 2-3, 8-9 and 12-13 the word ‘Babylon’ doesn’t come out. However, the holy spirit revealed the secret that the group of the dragon in Rv 17, the organization of the prostitute and the beast with seven heads and ten horns, is Babylon (Ref. Rv 17:2-8, Rv 13).
Who would have known that the Christian Council, which was known as an orthodox church, was Babylon? They became Babylon because the gods(spirits) of Babylon in the Old Testament were with them, and it is the holy spirit who revealed this secret. In the Book of Revelation, we must know the entities that appear and the god(spirit) that is with them. Saints must search inside the New Covenant Revelation to find the place that God’s holy spirit is with and live an upright life of faith.
The temple of Jerusalem in the capital city of physical Israel was God’s temple. However, the spirit of the devil entered the pastors of that place and that is why they took hostile actions against God and Jesus. Those who have read Jn 8 will know this. Furthermore, just like at the time of King Solomon, when Israel was divided into north and south because Solomon bowed down before gentile gods, Korea was also divided into north and south because the Christian pastors bowed down and praised Japanese gods during the period of the Japanese occupation. Is this not like the time of Solomon?
If one has heard the news that Revelation is being testified today, before persecuting, one should come before the Book of Revelation to verify the things that were fulfilled. It is said that Revelation should not be added to or taken away from. That is why it must be verified. At the time of Revelation, there is the one who prepares the way, there are betrayers, there are destroyers, and there is a savior. There are wars and judgments. There is the harvest, the work of sealing, and the creation of the 12 tribes. There is also the incident of the devil’s pastors marking the foreheads and hands of the saints. What was recorded has appeared.
