Overview of the Mystery Babylon in Revelation 17, showing its identity as Jerusalem destroyed in AD 70, with the Roman invasion of Judea and end of the Old Covenant. Specifically focuses on first century Jerusalem, spiritually called Sodom Egypt, but clearly identified as the great city where the Lord was crucified, (Rev. 11:8; 17:18).

you qoute from Revelations chapter 11 as if it has to do with Babylon. NOtone verse in Chpater 11 mentions Babylon. Daniel 12:9 says to Daniel go your way for these things are sealed up unto the end. Matthew 24:6 and ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars...but the end is not yet

Are yo declaring that the end is nowand that you have been given the things sealed? You teach revelatios where dan 12:9 says things are sealed till the end. Many have over time claimed as such. Is this your claim?

Dan. 12:9 says the end is the time the power of the holy people is completely shattered, i.e. when Judah was destroyed by Rome in A.D. 70. Now to the text in Mt 24:6, you have overstated your case What Christ was referring to were the signs of wars, rumors of wars, famines & pestilences & earthquakes. There were yet other things to be fulfilled. See Acts 11:28, where the famine came in the days of Claudius Caesar in the 40's AD, occurring almost 3 decades before 70 AD, thus it was not the end.

1st century historians record many earthquakes and wars throughout the Roman empire in the 1st cent. In fact, that area is on a geographical fault with commonly occurring earthquakes. A major one hit Colosse, Hierapolis and Laodicea, before 70 AD, the latter being a wealthy city was quickly rebuilt. Christ mentioned other signs up to Jerusalem's fall which occurred after the famine of Acts 11:28, i.e. the abom. of desolation. The end came before that 1st cent. gen. passed, Mt. 24:36. Lk. 21:22.

We do not live in the end time. Rather, we live beyond the end time, in what the Bible calls the age to come which is an age that has no end. See all the posts below. The end happened in 70 AD. It was the end of the God's Old Covenant with Israel, (Heb. 8:8-13).Believers are now in the kingdom of God which has "no end" Lk. 1:32-33. Therefore, you cannot have an end or a last day in that which has no end and no last day. It is the everlasting kingdom which cannot be shaken and cannot pass away.

REV: 13:3 "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast." All throughout the Bible the word Beast is always speaking of a Nation NOT an individual person. Which nation seemed dead, gone forever & "came to life again" & now the world wonders after this beast nation

Further proof the events Daniel prophesied were fulfilled in the 1st century can be found if you read all of ch. 12. Compare Dan. 12:1 and Matt. 24:21, which Jesus says would happen before his generation passed, Mt. 24:34. Also see my videos on "this generation." Dan. 12:4 compares with Matt. 13:39-43, showing those events happened in the "consummation of the Jewish age. See also Mt. 24:3, 34. Dan. 12:7, says the end is when the power of the holy people (Old Cov. Israel) was shattered, i.e. 70AD

Peter stated those things prophesied by the prophets and which "they" inquired about were not revealed to them, but "to us" ( (Peter and his readers of the first century, 1 Pet. 1:11-12). Thus, Peter wrote, "But the end of all things has drawn near, (1 Pet. 4:7) and the time of "the" judgment had come, 4:17). John said it was the "last hour" (1 Jno. 2:18-19), and the time had drawn near for those things to shortly come to pass, (Rev. 1:1,3). Thus, the "sealed" words of Daniel, were "unsealed."

[AllThingsFulfilled]

Point acknowledged. Then if you do not believe the Bible was written to you why do you believe "the end" was meant for you and not "them?" Secondly, Dan. 12:9, says nothing about "the end of time" which you seem to imply though you're not saying it. Thirdly, the end of Dan. 12:9, is precisely that in Rev. 22:10. The reason the words were "closed/sealed until the time of the end is because they would not happen in Daniel's time, i.e. approx. 500 years before John wrote Revelation. See pt. 2

First I do NOT believe that the bible was written TO me as you so implied.

Second At no time did I mention the verse you implied that I did.Rev 22:10 What I DID quote ...see my message AGAIN above..was Dan 12:9 The things that were sealed to the end.The END which you yourself just said is not yet. So do you think that Dan 12:9 is NOT a part of Revelations?

[AllThingsFulfilled]

Not only have I been given the things sealed but so has everyone who reads Revelation 22:10, where John says "Do Not Seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time had drawn near. " No, we do not live in the end time. That occurred in the first century when Jerusalem fell to the Romans and all prophecy was fulfilled, (Luke 21:20-22; 32). Thus, the Mystery of God is finished as he declared to the prophets. You must not read the Bible as though it were written "to" you, but "for" you.

Cont. from pt. 1. The same harlot woman is called the great city whose flesh is burned, (ch. 17:18), which carries through the symbolism to chapter 18:2, proclaiming herself to yet be married and no widow, but her judgment stands, (18:10, 18). God takes vengeance on her for the death of the apostles and prophets and all slain on the earth, 18:20, 24). This corresponds to Matt. 23:34-37 and what Jesus said of Jerusalem, so Mystery Babylon is the great city which is Jerusalem, where Christ died.
