THE SECRET SPIRITUAL BABYLON - Introduction 5 of 5 from 'Iraq Prophecy "Parable"' 2008

Looking in retrospect to prophecies about Babylon, as a domain of mankind, we become captivated to inquire about the wickedness from distant past and continually to the present and future on the whole earth. Besides her representation by general population, Babylon symbolizes a high range of influential people who control the world, and that control by the elite society like a living parable goes hand in hand in recent times with spiritual exposure of this evil dictator in Iraq.

God caused the dethronement of this evil leader in a topical Babylon exactly as He had predetermined to remove from the thrones in mid-heaven, ti possessing spirit, Satan. God picked this man in Iraq to be the type - or the one who share same traits of pride and arrogance in human form - at the original cherub who had conceived in his hear the first rebellion against God.

As a follow up to the words in Isaiah 14;4, "that you will take up this parable (proverb, taunt) against the king of Babylon, and say," we see clearly that this parable in Isaiah 14 is for this late tyrant over Iraq, as Iraq covers the same area of the city know as Babylon. But the text directs certain phrases to Satan, [where translations erroneously name him Lucifer, in Gr. Eosphoros]. The text is addressed to Satan, but not exactly in that name (?). In Isaiah 14:12 truly says, "O how you have fallen you, the howler" along with the text addressed to Saddam Hussein as "son of Dawn (or morning),..." The name, "howler," or you who howls, is for the heavenly spirit, Satan; the second name, "son of Dawn" is for the man, a son born of woman.

Is it a coincidence that Saddam's mother had this name Subha, which means Dawn (morning)? It is in perfect agreement with Scripture!

It is by God's prophecy a remarkable confirmation for this truth that the text of the parable is addressed to Saddam; and Saddam is a human representation of Satan, as the name 'sounds alike'.

Subha (in English 'Dawn'), the mother of Saddam Hussein, was known by her occupation as a clairvoyant, psychic, diviner, which contributed to her son's devilish character. And by analogy, as by the cherub's opposition to God, the cherub was named Satan, which means "adversary," also the name Saddam has a similar meaning "one who confronts." Both names by the same meaning do signify of the rebellion which is their defiance of law and authority.

Each one of them acted as a perpetrator in a revolt, an attempt to overthrow a government. Satan induced many other angels to follow him in his uprising and eventually all those became evil forces of sin, pride, deception by deceit, ruthless violence and murder.

In the past God had created dinosaurs and similar amphibious creatures who were monstrous symbols of Satan, as also God symbolized Satan as a dragon for his size, calling the dragon the great. God tells us this story about Satan in Revelation 12:3-4, "Then another sign appeared in heaven; and behold , a a great red dragon having seven head and then horns, and on this head were seven diadems." Here seven head represents king and world empires, similarly, ten horns symbolize the ruling power in the future of then kings who will receive by the plan of Satan to be governing for a little time on the earth.

And before that, he will be chased out of all areas in mid-heave [the firmament above the earth], where in Eph 2:2, as "prince of the authority of the air" he is now occupying. For that future event says in Rev. 12:7-9, "and war will arise in heave, Michael and his angels will fight against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels will fight back, 8 but he will be defeated , and there will non longer be any place for them in heaven. 9 And the dragon the great will be thrown down, that archaic serpent, (the serpent of the beginning - meaning the snake which spoke of and deceived Eve in Genesis), who is called the Devil and Satan, the one deceiving the whole inhabited earth; he will be cast down to the earth, and his angels will be thrown down with him."

This prophecy in Rev. 12:7-9 is a representation of Satan and his spiritual forces, now rulers over this world, how they will be cast down to the earth. Their occupancy in the midst of heaven [in the firmament], their dominion and influence from above on the thing s of this planet will be interrupted. This intervention of God was not of times past about the cherub and other angels that had been cast down from high heave. This will occur in the near future as Rev. 12:12 says, "Woe to the earth and the sea, because the Devil is come down, having great anger, knowing that he has only a short time" with no return anymore to mid-heaven.

By that conclusive fall, Satan will unleash maximum wickedness on us on the earth, and then God will give him the opportunity to fulfill the vain concept he had originally, as an anointed cherub, when sin was found in his heart; to rise above God. That original story is further explained in 'GOD'S FIRST PREDERMINATION on page 122, (of the book).

Sin was the cherub's desire to see himself above his Creator, in that he disregarded the righteous commandments and the order of hierarchy. God did not allow the cherub then, now Satan, to accomplish that desire in the heavenly realm, but He will allow it soon at a certain point in the earthly creation and advancement of humankind. Satan will present himself falsely as god in the temple of God, the new temple in Jerusalem promoters of the coming Antichrist's imperial power [not the Antichrist himself] are going to pollute for a limited time of 42 months "for half of seven" = 3.5 of week of years, 11/2-of-7 years, (Dan. 9:27b).

Already Satan could operate secretly, as "the mystery of iniquity has been energized in the world" 2Thess. 2:7. Evil forces have long taken control here and sadly the wisdom of the faithful for spiritual distinction between good and evil has been fading. We need discerning eyes to notice the gradual decline of ethics and corruption that sin has caused in the world. We are surrounded by a world of technology, knowledge and ideology that reflects rather misconceived theories, misleading education, and grueling political and/or religious argument. Most of us do not know that these trends are induced by Satan's invisible spiritual agents who want to breed in us a false sense of self-righteousness and religiosity and to dissuade us from the faith of the true Savior God.

Since ancient time, these spirits have taken authority of the secular system in our planet, and by their cunning persuasion they forge and shape many into their secret purposes. This is the hidden spiritual Babylon which affects the whole world and is difficult for the ordinary person to inquire about or comprehend its long-term schemes and encrypted agenda. Particularly in our times, we must not fail to see the deception that has spread, even those professing as being teachers of righteousness are falling away from God. All kinds of inconsistencies are tearing us down and their repercussions affect our lives to such a degree that God is calling for our awakening to sincere concern, discernment, and scrutiny in what we are being taught.

Let's be sober, people are allured by Babylon's trickery. And those particularly who are ambitious to acquire fame, riches, and power, become even more gullible to Babylon's underhanded trap. While the followers of this drift are imbued from the sources of its hypocrisy and rise in number, God calls our attention to His counsel ...

in Matt. 7:13-15,

"Enter ye in through the narrow gate because wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those that go through it, because narrow is the gate and full of tribulation the way that leads to life, an few are those that find it. Be careful from false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but on the inside, they are ravening wolves... From their fruits you shall know them..."

There are two gates, and each gate lead to an adverse camp of people. The narrow gate lead to the narrow way which is directed by the Holy Spirit, but the other, the wide gate and broad way is run by all spirits apart from the Holy Spirit. It is not easy to discern the Holy Spirit from other opposing spirits because they all may offer nice thinks as enticements. Therefor, the question to a lot of people remains:

Who is the One God?

God, in His unfathomable extraordinary ability and wisdom has chosen to present Himself visibly as the Christ in the form of man and invisibly as the Holy Spirit in spirit. His choice about His appearance should not cause any misunderstanding, because He still is One God. It is God's privilege, diversity and proficiency to do as He wills; we cannot deny the Mighty God His freedom in how He want to appear. Certainly, in whichever the appearance is, we must honor the Presence of God and make every effort to stay close to Him and rest in knowing we are in the right camp.

On the other hand, there is another camp of opposing spirits, of which God wants to make us fully aware of their wickedness.

Such spirits are the sources and supporters of the Babylonian system. For that reason, our study is based on the truth spoken directly form the mouth of God. We should know better by now; there is no profit in learning from hindering and maneuvering spirits.

Only the Bible can truthfully unravel the mystery of Babylon and all her schemes, purposes, times, rises and falls. God is the source of knowledge for our best defense, because God is Spirit

, and He can tell us how to be protected against the spirits, which are also in the unseen world. He will also teach us how to avoid the deceptions of a so called Babylonian system.

For that, we must be praying with an open and contrite heart to receive God's correct interpretation through His Written Word and attain the assurance and joy of His Truth.
