Supposedly the worlds current monetary system, complete with usury (interest) is derived from the babylonian tulmud which the jewish people brought back from their captivity in that country (I have not read the thing and have no plans to do so but that is what some people have said in the past). The colors mentioned, specifically purple and scarlet denote royalty of some sort. Could Rome be the city? Some folks say the Vatican controls the worlds cash. Could be London if the bank of England is located there, where the Rothchild family of murderers organized and funded our revolution and civil war in their attempts (successfully I might add) to get a (read their) central bank fiat system started in America. Or it could be New York with it's super duper global financing whore houses.

Either way that write-up quoted the bible as saying the merchants by sea stand FAR OFF for fear of her torment, but he thinks that it will just be people burning the FRN's... But the bible states that nothing will be found in that city again, no weddings, no precious things, no grainery or millstone, nothing... In other words that city vanishes forever. Nuked?

I have said it before, when they finally implode the system they will nuke New York to cover up their plots and theft of the worlds wealth and nobody on this earth could pay me enough to live there. Or any other major city for that matter........

As far as eating her flesh?.... no idea, unless it means taking the land.

I just hope it really does mean the global financial system and that no nations, cultures or people get vaporized in a most hideous way.

well....maybe they'll nuke Israel instead? after all, they are not real jews, it is not their land...and they are building a nice place in former Yugoslavia, in Europe, after leveling this european country...

It's creepy, alright. I don't have much to add to this topic, but it's interesting, and I'd like to follow it.

Mystery Babylon = America and the world-system which it has established by force

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters. With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries." Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. This title was written on her forehead: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. Then the angel said to me: "Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns (Revelation 17:1-7).



Then the angel said to me, "The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages. (Revelation 17:15).




The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power to rule, until God's words are fulfilled. The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth (Revelation 17:16-18).




The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place. He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his fathers he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. He will attack the mightiest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will make them rulers over many people and will distribute the land at a price (Daniel 11:36-39).


For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries." … Give her as much torture and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself (Revelation 18:3, 7).



Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her. ... In one hour your doom has come! … When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, 'Was there ever a city like this great city (Revelation 18:8, 10 and 18)?

I figure I'll spoil the multitude of "the Dow is down" threads with the above :)

ok, I'll post a link to book that somebody has already posted in the other thread. Very related and very interesting.

The Babilonian Woe, by David Astle

quoting from the book above



Hence, the real source of the so rapid decay of all relatively recent civilizations and so called empires of the last 6000 years, whose establishment was so often due to the behind the scenes activities of bankers as agents for what was necessarily and internationally spread network of bullion interests, was the complete dearth in the later days of such civilizations or empires, of dean and noble men in places of control and power...

Such natural and truly dedicated leadership had been destroyed, either by the planned discriminatory activities of the bankers, or by the never dying fires of war that maintained these so-called "Empires"... Their places had been taken by the progeny of their (banker's) slaves, or, as in Sparta, by their women.

Clearly in that day almost all money in circulation arrived there created and issued by private persons of a class stranger to the whole worlds, and whose only guide was never more than their indifference to the miseries of mankind.




Amongst other principles of political control by the money power, certainly one of the most important of all, used in ancient times, just as much as today, was that which is known as liberalism.. Liberalism in simplified language meaning that he who hath shall give to him who hath not; not so much out of proper charity, but so that he who hath not may come to put his foot on the neck of him who (formerly) had, and who now foolishly gives him his own strength. Thus money power, by injecting liberalism along the very arteries of society through those underground channels under its control, made sure that what might be described in the language of today as "Permanent Revolution", would prevent any power group from having control long enough to see the true source of that which is the power of the ruler.




In that Spartan society wherein women had always known considerable freedom relatively, say, to their Athenian sisters, the control of wealth however designated, passed substantially into the hands of women. Concern for the growth of "Money", no doubt, just as in this day, replaced care for their men, and concern for themselves as mothers of the race, and concern for the growth of their children.

"Two fifth of the land and wealth had come into their hands, simply because lack of men left them as heiresses, and this wealth they used extravagantly.... They meddled in the affairs of state and brought undue influence upon the conduct of the government".

In such society, this stratum of wealthy women have no respect for men as such, too often. While perhaps not classified as hetaerae, who all said and done, had served some useful purpose to men, they clearly lived public lives very much the same as the hatearae.

Such women, their heads full of figures and pride, would have served most usefully those alien money powers who ever have sought to further their purposes through corrupt and malleable persons....Women, rarely corrupt in the sense that a man may be corrupt, because of their natural need to shelter behind what seems to be strength, as arrogant Money Power would appear to them, are malleable...Their own Spartan men, either dead, and if not dead, completely confused with the new liberalization programme of the returned bankers, were virtually enslaved;
