Subject: Recent dream im prompted to post here....a warning!!!


Was prompted to send this...lots of scripture in
it...so a long one here. I believe in context
btw! Just a messenger here so discern thru the
Spirit of G_d. Peace.


August 27 2020.....christiandom....

Had a dream image this morning of a mature woman
wearing her Sunday best aka a business -
like dress which looked like a kind of tweed
material and in a peach colour. She also wore
some sort of small fancy hat to the left side of
her head and she wore high heels too. Don't know
the colour of her high heels tho. She was
called....corporate christiandom... a play on
words that in regards to Christ's kingdom,
whatever that means ?!

Anyways she was all prettier up and heading
towards the kitchen but in the kitchen she
started to profusely vomit up a lot of filth and
other discussing stuff. Kinda like the scribes
and pharisees of old...pretty on the outside but
full of death and dead man's bones on the inside.
All I can remember about the kitchen were the
white tiled floors aka the foundation, and the
white cupboards with the wooden trim on their
bottom edges. Don't know what these cupboards
symbolise, only that they were more up to date
and modern in looks...today's style infact.

Then I heard these words spoken in
Spirit....'mystery babylon'....'come out of the
midst of her for her judgements come in one
hour'???... a mixing of many scripture verses
here! I was then told that babylon is a city aka
jerusalem, a religion and also a world system. It
is also a nation but I wasn't revealed to what
nation it was talking about. The church on the
whole was then called a corporation since it is
now run like a business. That as a whole
christiandom aka Christianity claims itself to
being the kingdom of G_d on earth too. It is
Jesus/Yeshua is the one who brings in/ushers in
the kingdom alone, at his second coming...
whenever that it? All I know is that we are
presently in the 6th seal somehow....which also
speaks of the beginning of the Day of the
Lord aka Jesus treading the winepress of wrath in
the latter part of revelations 6.

Now, not all the local churches are guilty, but
on the whole most are! There is the odd local
small church here and there but on the whole the
majority of them are guilty as sin! They act like
a corporation rather than a body/assembly of
believers! Church is the presence of 2 or more
believers, not a building btw!


Words...for when 2 or more are gathered
together....(even in cyberspace), I am there. I
being Jesus / Yeshua. Also hearing the words
too...I'm done with her aka mystery babylon aka
the church aka christiandom since Christianity
was to not be part of the Babylonian world system
...not conformed to it but be separate and
different in the world's eyes and she is not.
Kinda reminds me of when ancient israel went
after pagan foreign gods/idols and G_d cast them
out of the land .

Ok, scripture verses time now...
Revs 17 and 18....

The Great Prostitute and the Beast


1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven
bowls came and said to me, “Come,
I will show you the judgment of the great
prostitute who is seated on many waters,   2
with whom the kings of the earth have committed
sexual immorality, and with the wine of
whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth
have become drunk.”   3 And he carried
me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I
saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that
was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven
heads and ten horns.   4 The woman
was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned
with gold and jewels and pearls, holding
in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and
the impurities of her sexual
immorality.   5 And on her forehead was written a
name of mystery: “Babylon the great,
mother of prostitutes and of earth’s
abominations.”   6 And I saw the woman, drunk
with
the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs
of Jesus.
When I saw her, I marveled greatly.  7 But the
angel said to me, “Why do you marvel? I
will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of
the beast with seven heads and ten horns
that carries her.   8 The beast that you saw was,
and is not, and is about to rise from the
bottomless pit and go to destruction. And the
dwellers on earth whose names have not
been written in the book of life from the
foundation of the world willmarvelto see the
beast, because it was and is not and is to come.
  9 This calls for a mind with wisdom:
the seven heads are seven mountains on which the
woman is seated;   10 they are also
seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is,
the other has not yet come, and when he
does come he must remain only a little while.  
11 As for the beast that was and is not, it
is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it
goes to destruction.   12 And the ten horns
that you saw are ten kings who have not yet
received royalpower, but they are to receive
authority as kings for one hour, together with
the beast.   13 These are of one mind, and
they hand over their power and authority to the
beast.   14 They willmake war on the
Lamb, and the Lamb willconquer them, for he is
Lord of lords and King of kings, and
those with him are called and chosen and
faithful.”
15 And the angel said to me, “The waters that you
saw, where the prostitute is seated,
are peoples and multitudes and nations and
languages.   16 And the ten horns that you
saw, they and the beast willhate the prostitute.
They willmake her desolate and naked,
and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire,  
17 for God has put it into their hearts to
carry out his purpose by being of one mind and
handing over their royalpower to the
beast, untilthe words of God are fulfilled.   *
****18 And the woman that you saw is the great
city that has dominion over the kings of
the earth.”****
(Note for mountains I see 7 contenants like land
masses...but also 7 Empires from
world history. Also 7 kings are also 7
leaders...from history past we had1 egyptian,
2assyrian,3babylonian, 4persian, 5grecian ,
6Roman and 7ottoman. It was Roman in
Johns day when he was on the Isle of Patmos
having the vision. So Roman was not it!
The harlot/the woman is the great city that has
dominion over the kings of the earth! In
revs 11 it speaks that jerusalem is that very
city cos they crucified Jesus just outside
that very city! Btw..many waters means many
nations that this scarlet woman sits on)

Re....cross referenced with revs 11.... The Two
Witnesses


1 Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff,
and I was told, “Rise and measure the temple of
God and the altar and those who worship there,  
2 but do not measure the court outside the
temple; leave that out, for it is given over to
the nations, and they will trample the holy city
for forty ­two months.   3 And I will grant
authority to my two
witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days,
clothed in sackcloth.”
4 These are the two olive trees and the two
lampstands that stand before the Lord of the
earth.   5 And if anyone would harm them, fire
pours from their mouth and consumes their foes.
If anyone would harm them, this is how he is
doomed to be killed.   6 They have the power to
shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the
days of their prophesying, and they have power
over the waters to turn them into blood and to
strike the earth with every kind of plague, as
often as they desire.  

****7 And when they have finished their
testimony, the beast that rises from the
bottomless pit a will make war on them and
conquer them and kill them,   8 and their dead
bodies willlie in the street of the great city
that symbolically is called Sodom
and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified.  ****

9 For three and a half days some from the peoples
and tribes and languages and nations willgaze at
their dead bodies and refuse to let them be
placed in a tomb,   10 and
those who dwellon the earth will rejoice over
them and make merry and exchange presents,
because these two prophets had been a torment to
those who dwellon the
earth.   11 But after the three and a half days a
breath of life from God entered them, and they
stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on
those who saw them.   12 Then they heard a loud
voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!”
And they went up to
heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched
them.   13 And at that hour there was a great
earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven
thousand people were killed in the earthquake,
and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the
God of heaven.

14 The second woe has passed; behold, the third
woe is soon to come.

Revs18.....

TheFallofBabylon
1 After this I saw another angel coming down from
heaven, having great authority, and the earth was
made bright with his glory.   2 And he called out
with a mighty voice,
“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!
She has become a dwelling place for demons,
a haunt for every unclean spirit,
a haunt for every unclean bird,
a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.
3 For all nations have drunk the wine of the
passion of her sexual immorality, and the kings
of the earth have committed immorality with her,
and the merchants of the earth have grown rich
from the power of her luxurious living.”

******4 Then I heard another voice from heaven
saying,
“Come out ofher, my people,
lest you take part in her sins,
lest you share in her plagues;
5 for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God
has remembered her iniquities. 6 Pay her back as
she herself has paid back others, and repay her
double for her deeds; mix a double portion for
her in the cup she mixed. 7 As she glorified
herself and lived in luxury, so give her a like
measure of torment and mourning, since in her
heart she says,
‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
and mourning I shall never see.’
8 For this reason her plagues will come in a
single day, death and mourning and famine, and
she will be burned up with fire; for mighty is
the Lord God who has judged her."
9 And the kings of the earth, who committed
sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her,
will weep and wail over her when they see the
smoke of her burning.   10 They will stand far
off, in fear of her torment, and say,
“Alas! Alas! You great city,
you mighty city, Babylon!
For in a single hour your judgment has come.”
******

11 And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn
for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore,  
12 cargo of gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine
linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all
kinds of scented wood, all kinds of articles of
ivory, all kinds of articles of costly wood,
bronze, iron and marble,   13 cinnamon, spice,
incense, myrrh,frankincense, wine, oil, fine
flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and
chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls.
14 “The fruit for which your soul longed has gone
from you, and all your delicacies and your
splendors are lost to you, never to be found
again!”
15 The merchants of these wares, who gained
wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of
her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,
16 “Alas, alas, for the great city
that was clothed in fine linen,
in purple and scarlet,
adorned with gold, with jewels, and with pearls!
17 For in a single hour all this wealth has been
laid waste.” And all shipmasters and seafaring
men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea,
stood far off 18 and cried out as they saw the
smoke of her burning,
“What city was like the great city?”


*****19 And they threw dust on their heads as
they wept and mourned, crying out,
“Alas, alas, for the great city
where all who had ships at sea
grew rich bycher wealth! For in a single hour she
has been laid waste. 20 Rejoice over her, O
heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets,
for God has given judgment for you against
her!”*****

21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a
great millstone and threw it into the sea,
saying,
“So will Babylon the great city be thrown down
with violence, and will be found no more;
22 and the sound of harpists and musicians, of
flute players and trumpeters, will be heard in
you no more, and a craftsman of any craft
will be found in you no more,
and the sound of the mill
will be heard in you no more,
23 and the light of a lamp
will shine in you no more,
and the voice of bridegroom and bride will be
heard in you no more,
for your merchants were the great ones of the
earth, and all nations were deceived by your
sorcery. 24 And in her was found the blood of
prophets and of saints,
and of all who have been slain on earth.”

( Note here again...there is violence/war
mentioned but I am also hearing the word
'economics' aka the economy for some odd
reason????)
........

Isaiah 47....

1 Come down and sit in the dust,
O virgin daughter of Babylon;
sit on the ground without a throne,
O daughter of the Chaldeans!
For you shall no more be called
tender and delicate. 2 Take the millstones and
grind flour, put off your veil, strip off your
robe, uncover your legs, pass through the rivers.
3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered, and your
disgrace shall be seen.
I will take vengeance,
and I will spare no one.
4 Our Redeemer—the LORD OF HOSTS IS HIS NAME—
IS THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.
5 Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O
daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more
be called the mistress of kingdoms. 6 I was angry
with my people; I profaned my heritage;
I gave them into your hand;
you showed them no mercy;
on the aged you made your yoke exceedingly heavy.
7 You said, “I shall be mistress forever,” so
that you did not lay these things to heart
or remember their end.
8 Now therefore hear this, you lover of
pleasures,
who sit securely,
who say in your heart,
“I am, and there is no one besides me; I shall
not sit as a widow
or know the loss of children”:
9 These two things shall come to you in a moment,
in one day;
the loss of children and widowhood shall come
upon you in full measure, in spite of your many
sorceries and the great power of your
enchantments.
10 You felt secure in your wickedness; you said,
“No one sees me”; your wisdom and your knowledge
led you astray,
and you said in your heart,
“I am, and there is no one besides me.” 11 But
evil shall come upon you, which you will not know
how to charm away; disaster shall fall upon you,
for which you will not be able to atone; and ruin
shall come upon you suddenly, of which you know
nothing. 12 Stand fast in your enchantments and
your many sorceries, with which you have labored
from your youth; perhaps you may be able to
succeed;
perhaps you may inspire terror.
13 You are wearied with your many counsels; let
them stand forth and save you, those who divide
the heavens, who gaze at the stars,
who at the new moons make known what shall come
upon you.
14 Behold, they are like stubble;
the fire consumes them;
they cannot deliver themselves
from the power of the flame.
No coal for warming oneself is this, no fire to
sit before!
15 Such to you are those with whom you have
labored,
who have done business with you from your youth;
they wander about, each in his own direction;
there is no one to save you.
...........
Also a promise from Jeremiah 31 which I was just
led to just now.....

The LORD WILL TURN MOURNING TO JOY

1 “At that time, declares the LORD , I WILL BE
THE GOD OF ALL THE CLANS OF ISRAEL AND THEY SHALL
BE MY PEOPLE.”
2 Thus says the LORD :
“THE PEOPLE WHO SURVIVED THE SWORD FOUND GRACE IN
THE WILDERNESS; WHEN ISRAEL SOUGHT FOR REST, 3
THE LORD APPEARED TO HIM FROM FAR AWAY. I HAVE
LOVED YOU WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE;
THEREFORE I HAVE CONTINUED MY FAITHFULNESS TO
YOU.
4 AGAIN I WILL BUILD YOU, AND YOU SHALL BE BUILT,
O VIRGIN ISRAEL! AGAIN YOU SHALL ADORN YOURSELF
WITH TAMBOURINES AND SHALL GO FORTH IN THE DANCE
OF THE MERRYMAKERS.
5 AGAIN YOU SHALL PLANT VINEYARDS ON THE
MOUNTAINS OF SAMARIA; THE PLANTERS SHALL PLANT
AND SHALL ENJOY THE FRUIT. 6 FOR THERE SHALL BE A
DAY WHEN WATCHMEN WILL CALL IN THE HILL COUNTRY
OF EPHRAIM:
‘ARISE, AND LET US GO UP TO ZION, TO THE LORD OUR
GOD.’”
7 For thus says the LORD :
“SING ALOUD WITH GLADNESS FOR JACOB, AND RAISE
SHOUTS FOR THE CHIEF OF THE NATIONS;
PROCLAIM, GIVE PRAISE, AND SAY, ‘O LORD , SAVE
YOUR PEOPLE, THE REMNANT OF ISRAEL.’ 8 BEHOLD, I
WILL BRING THEM FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY AND GATHER
THEM FROM THE FARTHEST PARTS OF THE EARTH, AMONG
THEM THE BLIND AND THE LAME,
THE PREGNANT WOMAN AND SHE WHO IS IN LABOR,
TOGETHER; A GREAT COMPANY, THEY SHALL RETURN
HERE.
9 WITH WEEPING THEY SHALL COME, AND WITH PLEAS
FOR MERCY I WILL LEAD THEM BACK,
I WILL MAKE THEM WALK BY BROOKS OF WATER, IN A
STRAIGHT PATH IN WHICH THEY SHALL NOT STUMBLE,
FOR I AM A FATHER TO ISRAEL,
AND EPHRAIM IS MY FIRSTBORN.
10 “Hear the word of the LORD , O NATIONS, AND
DECLARE IT IN THE COASTLANDS FAR AWAY;
SAY, ‘HE WHO SCATTERED ISRAEL WILL GATHER HIM,
AND WILL KEEP HIM AS A SHEPHERD KEEPS HIS FLOCK.
11 FOR THE LORD HAS RANSOMED JACOB
AND HAS REDEEMED HIM FROM HANDS TOO STRONG FOR
HIM.
12 THEY SHALL COME AND SING ALOUD ON THE HEIGHT
OF ZION,
AND THEY SHALL BE RADIANT OVER THE GOODNESS OF
THE LORD , OVER THE GRAIN, THE WINE, AND THE OIL,
AND OVER THE YOUNG OF THE FLOCK AND THE HERD;
THEIR LIFE SHALL BE LIKE A WATERED GARDEN, AND
THEY SHALL LANGUISH NO MORE.
13 THEN SHALL THE YOUNG WOMEN REJOICE IN THE
DANCE,
AND THE YOUNG MEN AND THE OLD SHALL BE MERRY. I
WILL TURN THEIR MOURNING INTO JOY; I WILL COMFORT
THEM, AND GIVE THEM GLADNESS FOR SORROW. 14 I
WILL FEAST THE SOUL OF THE PRIESTS WITH
ABUNDANCE, AND MY PEOPLE SHALL BE SATISFIED WITH
MY GOODNESS, DECLARES THE LORD.”
15 Thus says the LORD :
“A VOICE IS HEARD IN RAMAH,
LAMENTATION AND BITTER WEEPING. RACHEL IS WEEPING
FOR HER CHILDREN; SHE REFUSES TO BE COMFORTED FOR
HER CHILDREN, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOcMORE.”
16 Thus says the LORD :
“KEEP YOUR VOICE FROM WEEPING, AND YOUR EYES FROM
TEARS, FOR THERE IS A REWARD FOR YOUR WORK,
DECLARES THE LORD , AND THEY SHALL COME BACK FROM
THE LAND OF THE ENEMY. 17 THERE IS HOPE FOR YOUR
FUTURE, DECLARES THE LORD , AND YOUR CHILDREN
SHALL COME BACK TO THEIR OWN COUNTRY. 18 I HAVE
HEARD EPHRAIM GRIEVING, ‘YOU HAVE DISCIPLINED ME,
AND I WAS DISCIPLINED, LIKE AN UNTRAINED CALF;
BRING ME BACK THAT I MAY BE RESTORED,
FOR YOU ARE THE LORD MY GOD.
19 FOR AFTER I HAD TURNED AWAY, I RELENTED, AND
AFTER I WAS INSTRUCTED, I STRUCK MY THIGH; I WAS
ASHAMED, AND I WAS CONFOUNDED, BECAUSE I BORE THE
DISGRACE OF MY YOUTH.’ 20 IS EPHRAIM MY DEAR SON?
IS HE MY DARLING CHILD?
FOR AS OFTEN AS I SPEAK AGAINST HIM, I DO
REMEMBER HIM STILL. THEREFORE MY HEART B YEARNS
FOR HIM;
I WILL SURELY HAVE MERCY ON HIM, DECLARES THE
LORD .
21 “Set up road markers for yourself; make
yourself guideposts; consider well the highway,
the road by which you went. Return, O virgin
Israel,
return to these your cities.
22 How long will you waver,
O faithless daughter?
For the LORD HAS CREATED A NEW THING ON THE
EARTH:
A WOMAN ENCIRCLES A MAN.”
23 Thus says the LORD OF HOSTS, THE GOD OF
ISRAEL: “ONCE MORE THEY SHALL USE THESE WORDS IN
THE LAND OF JUDAH AND IN ITS CITIES, WHEN I
RESTORE THEIR FORTUNES:
“‘The LORD BLESS YOU, O HABITATION OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS,
O HOLY HILL!’
24 And Judah and all its cities shall dwell there
together, and the farmers and those who wander
with their flocks. 25 For I will satisfy the
weary soul, and every
languishing soul I will replenish.”
26 At this I awoke and looked, and my sleep was
pleasant to me.
27 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the
LORD , WHEN I WILL SOW THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND
THE HOUSE OF JUDAH WITH THE SEED OF MAN AND THE
SEED OF BEAST. 28 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS THAT
AS I HAVE WATCHED OVER THEM TO PLUCK UP AND BREAK
DOWN, TO OVERTHROW, DESTROY,
AND BRING HARM, SO I WILL WATCH OVER THEM TO
BUILD AND TO PLANT, DECLARES THE LORD . 29 IN
THOSE DAYS THEY SHALL NO LONGER SAY:
“‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the
children’s teeth are set on edge.’ 30 But
everyone shall die for his own iniquity. Each man
who eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on
edge.

The New Covenant
31 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the
LORD , WHEN I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH THE
HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND THE HOUSE OF JUDAH, 32 NOT
LIKE
THE COVENANT THAT I MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS ON
THE DAY WHEN I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND TO BRING
THEM OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, MY COVENANT THAT
THEY BROKE, THOUGH I WAS THEIR HUSBAND, DECLARES
THE LORD . 33 FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I
WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AFTER THOSE
DAYS, DECLARES THE LORD : I WILL PUT MY LAW
WITHIN THEM, AND I WILL WRITE IT ON THEIR HEARTS.
AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY
PEOPLE. 34 AND NO LONGER SHALL EACH ONE TEACH HIS
NEIGHBOR AND EACH HIS BROTHER, SAYING, ‘KNOW THE
LORD,’ FOR THEY SHALL ALL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST
OF THEM TO THE GREATEST, DECLARES THE LORD . FOR
I WILL FORGIVE THEIR INIQUITY, AND I WILL
REMEMBER THEIR SIN NO MORE.”
35 Thus says the LORD ,
WHO GIVES THE SUN FOR LIGHT BY DAY AND THE FIXED
ORDER OF THE MOON AND THE STARS FOR LIGHT BY
NIGHT, WHO STIRS UP THE SEA SO THAT ITS WAVES
ROAR— THE LORD OF HOSTS IS HIS NAME: 36 “IF THIS
FIXED ORDER DEPARTS FROM BEFORE ME, DECLARES THE
LORD , THEN SHALL THE OFFSPRING OF ISRAEL CEASE
FROM BEING A NATION BEFORE ME FOREVER.”
37 Thus says the LORD :
“IF THE HEAVENS ABOVE CAN BE MEASURED, AND THE
FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH BELOW CAN BE EXPLORED,
THEN I WILL CAST OFF ALL THE OFFSPRING OF ISRAEL
FOR ALL THAT THEY HAVE DONE, DECLARES THE LORD.”
38 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the
LORD , WHEN THE CITY SHALL BE REBUILT FOR THE
LORD FROM THE TOWER OF HANANEL TO THE CORNER
GATE. 39 AND THE MEASURING LINE SHALL GO OUT
FARTHER, STRAIGHT TO THE HILL GAREB, AND SHALL
THEN TURN TO GOAH. 40 THE WHOLE VALLEY OF THE
DEAD BODIES AND THE ASHES, AND ALL THE FIELDS AS
FAR AS THE BROOK KIDRON, TO THE CORNER OF THE
HORSE GATE TOWARD THE EAST, SHALL BE SACRED TO
THE LORD . IT SHALL NOT BE PLUCKED UP OR
OVERTHROWN ANYMORE FOREVER.”

Just now, as I had read down to Is 47:8 and was reading “lovers of
pleasure”, we had an earthquake here. Small, around a 4 pt. And
short but still swinging a little. I’m on the Big Island.

And thank you for putting this on this religion/Bible board instead of

Angelina’s reference to Isaiah 47:8 got me to look
for an explanation of Isaiah 47. This links to
explanations of the verses in Isaiah 47:

of
Isaiah 47:7 "And thou saidst, I shall be a lady
for ever: [so] that thou didst not lay these [things]
to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end
of it."

Babylonians had thought themselves to be so great;
there was nothing that could bring them down. It
appears they had their chance to have a change of
heart about God,
because it says, "thou didst not
lay these things to thy heart".
They did not change and judgment came upon them. They
could have looked back at God's dealings with other
nations regarding Israel. They did not look back at
history.
Isaiah 47:8 "Therefore hear now this, [thou that
art] given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly,
that sayest in thine heart, I [am], and none else
beside me; I shall not sit [as] a widow, neither
shall I know the loss of children:"

Worldly pleasures lead to ruin. When Cyrus
occupied the city, they did not believe it was
serious, and they went right on dancing and reveling.
They felt they were above the judgment of God.

They felt that they were so great; they would not
lose any of their children.
Isaiah 47:9 "But these two [things] shall come to
thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children,
and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their
perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, [and]
for the great abundance of thine enchantments."

“In a moment in one day”: Babylon did not decay
slowly, but went from being the wealthy lady, the
unconquered virgin, the proud, invincible mother of
many to a degraded, slave woman in the dust who lost
her throne, her children, and her life. It happened
in one night, suddenly and unexpectedly, when Cyrus
and the Persian army entered the city (Daniel 5:28,
30).
(end of excerpts)
-------------------------------
“…they [invaders] shall come upon thee in their
perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries,
[and] for the great abundance of thine enchantments."

The emphasis seems to be that the apparently
invincible city [old babylon of the Chaldeans] deeply
indulged in occult practices – sorceries and
enchantments. Darkside occult energy comes from
darkside fallen angels. This prophecy for old
babylon might also refer to a future “mystery
babylon” as indicated in the book of Revelation.
I’ve considered the possibility that “mystery
babylon” might be the newly formed (1948) Jerusalem.
Most people think mystery babylon is the Vatican or
New York. It’s hard to say.
One promise in the bible is that “a remnant of Israel
will be saved.” (Romans 9:27) But they must repent
and receive Christ as savior (not just lip-service
but in spirit and in truth). It’s prophesied in
Zechariah 12:10 that the surviving remnant of Israel
will truly repent and seek Christ as their savior:
10) And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon
the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and
of supplications: and they shall look upon me
[Jesus] whom they have pierced,
and they shall
mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and
shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in
bitterness for his firstborn.
“whom they have pierced” – Jerusalem will realize
that Jesus who they had crucified was the true
messiah.
