The Tabernacle of God’s Kingdom and the Dragon’s Kingdom of
Babylon
The war in Revelation is a war between the tabernacle of God’s kingdom and the dragon’s kingdom of Babylon. The one to overcome out of the two entities, God and the dragon, is the one who rules the world. Saints must first know about these two entities, these two organizations, and their kingdoms.
God is the Creator who created the heavens and the earth, and all of its creation, and the dragon is a god (sprit) who although was a creation created by God, betrayed Him and wanted to be God himself (Ref. Ez 28). Between the two kingdoms, one is God’s Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony and the other is the dragon’s tabernacle, Babylon. This dragon’s tabernacle, Babylon, devoured God’s tabernacle, Jerusalem, in the Old Testament and the New Testament.
Today, at the time of the fulfillment of the Lord’s second coming, the tabernacles (kingdoms) of these two entities have appeared at the place of the events of Revelation; one is the tabernacle of God’s kingdom and the other is the dragon’s tabernacle, Babylon. That is why there is war between these two kingdoms and two peoples.
The first war was won by the dragon’s kingdom, Babylon (Rv 13). The second war was won by the tabernacle of God’s kingdom (Rv 12). In the third war, those who overcame, the saints of God’s tabernacle, became the bowls of God’s wrath in Rv 15 and poured out that wrath and judged the betrayers in Rv 16, the kingdom of Babylon, and its throne. Also, the food to eat inside God’s kingdom is the hidden manna and the fruit of the tree of life, and the food to eat inside the dragon’s kingdom is the wine of adultery. Do you know who the realities of the dragon and the kingdom of Babylon are and where they are? You cannot fight nor overcome without knowing.
Also, you must know their organization, where their kingdom and throne are, and their appearance in order to fight. You cannot testify without knowing their realities. Who are they? The Babylon seen in Rv 18 is the home for demons and a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. Also, they are the kingdom that made nations fall with the wine of adulteries. This Babylon is like whitewashed tombs and unmarked graves. They behave as if they are the holiest orthodox church group, so no one is able to know that they are Babylon. They are the traditional churches who advertise themselves as fellow believers.
There are no signs posted that they are Babylon, they are of the same race, they read the same Bible, and they behave as fellow Christians. So, no one would say that these people are the devil’s kingdom of Babylon. There is no way to know just by their organization, food, and actions. However, we came to know because the holy spirit revealed the secret that those who entered God’s tabernacle in Rv 13 to put the beast’s mark on the hands and the foreheads of the saints were the realities of Babylon (Rv 17).
As seen in Rv 17, the prostitute was sitting on top of the beast that entered the tabernacle in Rv 13, the beast with seven heads and ten horns. This beast was seen marking the hands and the foreheads of the saints of the tabernacle of Rv 13. That is why it was revealed that they are the pastors of Babylon. Also, the organization of Babylon being made up of the seven heads and the eighth beast with ten horns, and the fact that the eighth beast together with the ten horns judged the prostitute and took over the prostitute’s kingdom Babylon, are the evidence used to clearly know that they are the devil’s kingdom, Babylon.
This Babylon comes to an end in Rv 18 by receiving the judgment of fire. Afterwards, the marriage of spirit and flesh with the Lamb takes place in Rv 19. God reigns from this time onward. By knowing Babylon and its organization, they were fought and overcome. The dragon came to an end, the dragon’s kingdom of Babylon came to an end, and its group also came to an end.
