[@ethelfruge1211]

Awesome teaching. We in the west are so deceived. Thank you David.

[@lucksonseltun4903]

The most logical and clear explanation on Mystery the Babylon. God bless you Pastor, and may the good Lord continue to use you in dispelling doubts, and more so as the day approaches. Thank you.

[@helenerickson2195]

This is absolutely amazing teaching. Absolutely make sense biblically. Share it with others.

[@americaisdead9879]

Excellent, Yeshua has truly blessed you Pastor. Thank you for that spiritual food.

[@ObeyJesusOurLord]

You convinced me! Excellent presentation, sir!

[@Shiloh2rtn]

Fascinating!

[@Pastoradam100]

[@dylansaus]

Thanks

[@Matt24_]

Yes, Neom is certainly the candidate for Revelation 18.

[@chantal6556]

Thanks so for it teaching ,God bless ur heart

[@candyclews4047]

No wonder John is surprised in Rev 17:7. Even we, in this 21st Century, find this concept startling.

[@Seaofglass510]

I thought the same

[@BigHolmie]

"For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son," There's only two Kingdoms, kingdom of darkness and Kingdom of Light. Should we really dwell on and focus on whether someone is stuck in a particular type of darkness. A Christian by name, but never born of the Spirit, is going to the same place someone who rejects the Lord and bows down to whatever idol. Without Jesus we are all lost, but those who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved!! We shouldn't lean on our own understanding and limited human logic to interpret scripture unless you want to be in error; completely and totally wrong. Prophecy must be revealed by the Spirit. God Bless!

When does Mystery Babylon get destroyed? Let's discuss.

[@mcgeorgerl]

Sounds lovely. Lets start. Do you equate "fallen" with destroyed? Do you put the destruction within the 1260 days mentioned in Revelation or in the 1290 or 1335 days of Daniel 12? Oh, and do you agree with the video that Mystery Babylon is/could be a city or cities within Saudi Arabia even though historic Babylon was almost due east of Jerusalem and not in what we now know as Saudi Arabia? Larkin puts it after the 7th Vial but differentiates between 'Ecclesiastical' Babylon (One World Church) and the 'Rebuilt Babylon' but he wrote that over 100 years ago but people still use him... and steal from him.

[@mcgeorgerl]

Odd... I left a comment yesterday on the main thread with a single verse that seems to me to conclusively disassociate the 10 Horns from Mystery Babylon (Rev 17:16) because the 10 Horns HATE the whore and destroy it. It looks like it was erased??

[@readingexpress8756]

Good teaching about the probable false church of the future that will persecute the true believers of Jesus. In approximately the mid point of the tribulation, the anti-Christ will enter the soon to be Jewish Temple, and he will have the false church destroyed and he will demand the world to worship only him and will force everyone to take his mark on their right hand or forehead or be killed.

[@thinkcat01]

readingexpress The temple is in Berlin. The Throne of Satan is going to be opened for the world to see in 2025. The altar of pergamous is in Berlin Museum. Archaelogists dug it from Turkey and brought it to Germany. This altar and the seat of Satan was in the Temple of Zeus in Turkey (previously Constantinople). First world war started in Europe when the throne of satan was brought in to Germany. Second world war started in Europe whereby Hitler killed 6 million Jews.

[@josephde-zordi7324]

Theologically off on a tangent, but fascinating, and it is disturbing to see what all of those Abdullahs are up to

[@mikewalsh1402]

IT’S NOT ABOUT THE POPE, IT’S NOT ABOUT THE VATICAN, IT’S NOT ABOUT THE EU! IT’S ALL ABOUT ISLAM!!

[@mikewalsh1402]

Revelation 18 describes the destruction of Babylon the Great. Rev 18:19, “And they threw dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning...” Throwing dust on one’s head is a Middle Eastern expression of great sorrow and grief. The destruction of Babylon the Great is in the Middle East, it is Saudi Arabia!

[@theemperor477]

Is David a Christian or a Jew? I'm trying to understand what make he is coming from. Very interesting views.

[@zionshopeorg1989]

Yes, he is Jewish and a Christian.

[@nicklandry8019]

How can we be raptured before the destruction of Mystery Babylon if the Antichrist arises out of the beast that destroys her then goes on to persecute the saints.

[@BombshellBibleProphecies]

Hi David Rosenthal of Zion's Hope, Babylon the Great City is just that...a "Megapolis" in Iraq, in the land of the Chaldeans or Babylonia. It is NOT Mecca in Arabia, nor New York in America, nor Rome in Italy nor Jerusalem in Israel as many have wrongly assumed or speculated. In the Old Testament it is called "Babhel Rabbtha" in Chaldee in Daniel 4:30. The Aramaic Adjective "Rabbtha" meaning "the Great" follows the Noun "Babhel or Babylon". Therefore King Nebuchadnezzar called his Capital City.."Babylon the Great". This agrees with what John saw on the forehead of this Great Harlot having been clothed in Purple and Scarlet and gilded with gold, precious stones and pearls with a name having been written, a mystery "Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth" or in Koine Greek mysterion, "Babylon He Megale, he mether ton pornon kai ton bdelygmaton tes ges (Rev17:5,) Rev 18:2 as "Babylon He Megale" Rev 18:10 as the Great CITY, the Strong CITY or "He POLIS He Megale, Babylon he POLIS Ischura" So the New Testament agrees with the Old Testament identification of her as "BABYLON THE GREAT CITY, a "MEGA-POLIS" in the land of Babylon, or Babylonia or Chaldea NOT Arabia! In my humble opinion, Holy Scriptures does not contradict itself! It's men's faulty interpretations and speculations that muddle, confuse and contradict God's Inspired Revelations. Babylon the Great shall be what it literally WAS, a Great and Strong City soon to be COMPLETELY REBUILT with a Wicked House (Idolatrous Temple) rebuilt for it in the land of Shinar (Chaldea or Babylonia (which is in Modern Iraq today!) and it shall be established and set THERE on its (Original) Place or Site! Read Zechariah 5:5-11 to see that this Bible Prophecy about Babylon the Great that has yet to be fulfilled as will Revelation 17 & 18 also! Thank you, Sir.

[@abinbabu709]

Neon?

[@danedon1]

Saying you are right and others are wrong isn't exactly a "humble" opinion. It's more of a "my way or the highway" opinion.

[@BombshellBibleProphecies]

@@danedon1 The Inspired Scriptures are Correct and Bull's Eyed in its Identification. the Prophets of God say what it means and meant what is said, friend. Thank you.

[@A-Grammie-On-the-ROCK]

Poor guys don't know God is going to bring those buildings down !!

[@777lilibeth]

First I will say Israel is the Mother of Harlots, now I will prove this from the scriptures, In Revelation 18:7-8 it stated the whore says in her heart, I shall never be a widow, only one nation on the earth can make this statement, Israel, because they were the only ones married to God, meaning their husband could never die, so they cry I shall never be a widow, but this is even more truthful when read from Isaiah 47:7-9 where the prophet said the harlot says I shall never be a widow neither shall I know the loss of children, but these two things will happen to you in one day. Since Israel married God as the only nation that has ever married God, they can cry I will never be a widow, and since Abraham was told your seed shall be as the sand of the sea and the stars of heaven, Israel cries I shall never be childless, but the day Israel killed the Lord Jesus Christ they killed their husband and became a widow, on that same day they became childless, because they killed their husband and now no one can become a child of God unless they are born again, making Israel childless. Again, Revelation @ said in the whore was found all the righteous blood shed, of prophets and so forth, then in Matthew @-35 the Lord Jesus said to Israel, you are guilty of all the righteous blood shed, from the blood of righteous Abel and so on. Again, 60 times in scripture they are called a whore by God through his prophets and are even referred unto as Sodom and Gomorrah by the prophet Moses in Deut. @ and by John the Apostle in Rev. 11:8 She is noted as a harlot by Isaiah and Jeremiah especially, thus the mystery is no longer a mystery.

[@preacherofthecross]

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

[@terrymance4172]

as far as i know, Medes are the Iranians and maybe include the Kurdsh

[@jvlp2046]

Is SATAN (Old Dragon/Serpent/former Lucifer) the Mystery BABYLON?... if not, then WHO or WHAT is the MYSTERY BABYLON, a Human Person, a Spirit Being, or a Place???

[@abrokenandacontriteheart1308]

Isaiah 1:21 “How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.” King James Version (KJV) It has never been a faithful nation or city to God ... So how can it be Mecca? Towers are obelisks tower Babylon all false religions are part of the whore. It is a city that was faithful at one time. Founded on Christian principals ... it is part of the body of the Harlot.

[@mkin6370]

You do realize at 25:42 that you are comparing Mecca, a city on this planet, with the New Jerusalem on a whole different planet right? I have seen other videos with Mecca being the mystery Babylon, it could be; but when you have Matthew 23:37 saying exactly the same thing about Jerusalem, that Revelation 18:24 says of mystery Babylon, it should cause one to hesitate a moment. In addition verses like Jeremiah 25:29 where God literally says He is going to punish the current Jerusalem, again makes me wonder; Zechariah 14:2 states plainly Jerusalem will be taken, and 1/2 the city will go into captivity. I don't know, there are other fish to fry, I'm very confident it will be seals 1-5, then trumpets 1-5; just need to keep working on putting all the information together for a presentation. Take care, and may God bless you and your work.

[@PatriciaBurns]

Mystery Babylon is a CITY (Re.18:10, Re.18:16, Re.18:18-19). It is the CITY "where also our Lord was crucified" (Re.11:8, Heb.13:12). Once the false prophet sits in the temple of God showing himself that he is God, the holy City, Jerusalem, will become Mystery Babylon.

[@mcgeorgerl]

You stated "It is the CITY "where also our Lord was crucified" (Re.11:8, Heb.13:12)." yet neither of the citations state anything specific to Babylon or Mystery Babylon. If you look at Rev 16:19 you should see two events, one of which corresponds to the the 7th Trumpet (Rev 11:13 - Earthquake where 7000 die and the remnant give the glory to God). So in 16:19 we see Jerusalem (the great city) being hit with an earthquake and Babylon coming into remembrance before God (also see Rev 18:5). This is not one event, but two different events and two different cities. There are also prophetic references in Isaiah and Jeremiah that, if your Bible has good cross references, you may want to study. See also Rev 18:22-23 which speaks of a "finality' of Mystery Babylon yet we know that the sanctuary is cleansed (Dan 8:14-15) as part of the 2300 days.

[@justforthesaints8536]

The Mystery of Babylon the Great is a prophecy for Jerusalem and the religions that rule it today. They have made all the inhabitants of the earth drunk by their religious doctrines. Jerusalem became rich because of the trade of pilgrims from all over the world. Jerusalem is called the mother of harlots because she was the first harlot (Ezekiel 16). Revelation 17 _18 And the woman which thou sawest _*_is that great city,_*_ which reigneth over the kings of the earth._ Revelation 16 _19 And _*_the great city was divided into three parts,_*_ and the cities of the nations fell: _*_and great Babylon came in remembrance before God,_*_ to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath._ Now the city of Jerusalem has been divided into the holy city of three religions. Judaism, Islam and Christianity. Just as Babylon was once a holy city of many religions so is Jerusalem today, that is why God remembered Jerusalem as Babylon when the city was divided into three parts. The beast that carrieth the women, which hath the seven heads and ten horns are the Kingdoms that rule Jerusalem from the time King David made Jerusalem the capital of Israel to the present day. Revelation 17 _9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman _*_(Jerusalem)_*_ sitteth._ _10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen _*_(The Kingdom of Israel, Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Greece, The Hasmonean Dynasty)_* _and one is _*_(Roman Empire)_* _, and the other is not yet come _*_(From Rashidun to British);_*_ and when he cometh, he must continue a short space._ _11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven _*_(The State of Israel),_*_ and goeth into perdition._ _12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; _*_(the Rashidun Caliphs, Umayyads, Abbasids, Fatimids, Seljuks, Crusaders, Ayyubids, the Mamluk sultans of Egypt, the Ottoman Empire, the British.)_*_ but receive power as kings one hour with the beast._ Because there will be a new Jerusalem coming down from heaven, Jerusalem which is on earth full of false worship must be destroyed. After Jerusalem on earth is completely destroyed, that is a sign of Christ's coming to pick up his chosen 144,000 people to rule with him in the new Jerusalem in heaven by resurrecting them in the first resurrection.

[@ChristCenteredEschatology]

Study the word of God. Mystery Babylon is Jerusalem.

[@Matt24_]

There’s 2 Babylons. “Babylon, Babylon”. “Is fallen, fallen” The one in Rev 17 is Jerusalem, the one in Rev 18 is Neom in Saudi Arabia.

[@Mark-wb3uk]

This is not the kind of teaching that I would put a lot of weight behind. Not enough scripture and way to much talking. I can read the scripture especially Revelation 17 and 18 and it’s not Mecca. Explain “the beast you saw, was, and is not,” the beast that was, and is not, and yet is,” “five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet here,” “the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven.” You cannot answer those questions with your babbling. Sorry I know that sounds harsh, but your not teaching truth. Answer these questions if you know those answers. You cannot lay all this ground work with a few scriptures surrounding your theory and ignore those clues through the chapter. Those clues I have mentioned above make sense best by using the Bible to interpret them. They are easily laid out in scripture.
