THE EMPIRE IS STRETCHED,THE MILITARY IS EXHAUSTED, & THE TREASURY IS EMPTY;BABYLON HAS FALLEN

GREETINGS,

                             

” BABYLON IS FALLING NEVER TO RISE AGAIN”……..

EXCERPT FROM,” THE FALL OF AMERICA”;CHAPTER32,” America seems to be the answer to many of the Bible’s and the Holy Qur’an’s prophecies. It is mentioned in Jeremiah (51:9) that ancient Babylon could have been healed but was not, for her wickedness was such that she was neither healed nor forgiven.

 The charges against ancient Babylon, according to her history, were that she persecuted and imprisoned the Jews. She brought them into captivity from Jerusalem after the taking of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar.

 Neguchadnezzar was also punished for his part in the enslavement, according to the ancient history of Babylon. King Neguchadnezzar had among the Jews whom he held in captivity, Daniel, a prophet of Israel. The King did not love Daniel and his prophethood, but he was able to get Allah’s prophecy of the destruction of Babylon from Daniel. But remember, he still held Daniel as a slave and a prisoner with the other common Jews.

Under King Belshazzar, Daniel was still alive and was used for the revealing of God’s aims and purposes against Babylon.

 After studying the history of the destruction of ancient Babylon under these two kings, we have a very good graphic picture pointing to a future people and country. The words, “We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed” do not say why she was not healed. Was there a possible chance for the Babylonians being forgiven because of the evils done to the Jews, the sacking of Jerusalem, the destruction of their temple, and the bringing out from her temples sacred vessels to be used for sport under Belshazzar’s reign? Could this crime of the Babylonians be forgiven? And if not forgiven, what does this teach us?

 Is not the history of ancient Babylon’s unforgiven evils a sign that a future enslavement of God’s people (the American so-called Negro) will not be forgiven? Yet, there may be a chance, as Babylon had, but they will not do that which God desires them to do so that He may pardon them and forgive them and prolong their time.

 The Revelations of John’s prophecies were that they repented not of their evil deeds but blasphemed the very name of God (Rev. 16:9). Therefore, when a man is guilty of a great evil done against the cause of God and His people, he cannot be forgiven unless he seeks forgiveness himself.

We see this in the working of the fall of America today. I say fall, for most surely this is the divine fall of America, as it was of ancient Babylon for its evils done to the Jews.

 Even to this late date, America does not want to repent of her evil done to her Black slaves. I have given her a right chance, but she does not want to do justice by her free slaves to get an extension of time from Allah. She should free the slaves indeed. The ignorant ones who want to stay with her just because they are too lazy to accept their own responsibilities, or too much in love with the unalike white people who have attracted them to such an extent that they have become a charm — want to remain with this white master even if they are just given food and shelter — this type of people is not wanted by any nation. No nation wants slaves on the basis of taking the responsibility to care for them when they can care for themselves.

 The American Black once slave for four hundred years had now become a free proud slave, and a lover of the children of the once slave-masters.

The refusal of white America to do something about justice for her so-called free slaves is bringing her into the same type of judgment that God brought upon ancient Babylon.

 Jeremiah (51:45) mentions a warning to the people of God to flee out of Babylon. Could this be referring to the captive Jews in ancient Babylon? If God called the ancient Jews His people, it was for a sign of a future people that He would choose to call His people (The American so-called Negro).

 The Black people of America today are called His chosen people by God Himself, chosen by Him to build a new government based upon truth, freedom, justice and equality. This type of government is to live forever and never to be removed from the people, according to Daniel’s prophecy of a kingdom of God set up in the last days — the government of which will not be left to the people. God Himself will be the head and the ruler.

 In ancient Babylon’s history, the enslaved Jews were ordered to flee out of her midst and be delivered, every man his soul from the fierce anger of the Lord, Jeremiah (51:45.)

 The last book of the Bible, the Revelations of John (18:4) makes this a little clearer. Both prophecies are similar but the one in Revelations is warning a people to flee out of Babylon so that they…”Be not partakers of her sins,” of Babylon and receive not of her plagues.”

 This showed that God was going to plague Babylon; and that His people should not suffer the divine plagues sent upon Babylon. They are ordered to flee out of her. (Jeremiah 51:45.) This is a future prophecy of a future Babylon similar to the ancient Babylon under the rule of Nebuchadnezzar. The history of these two kings of ancient Babylon teaches us that they held slaves who were trying to serve the right God.”—–

BIBLE, REVELATION:18;1-10, ”

Revelation – Chapter 18

1And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

2And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

3For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

4And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

5For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

6Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

7How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

8Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong [is] the Lord God who judgeth her.

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

10Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.”

  NOW LOOK AT BABYLON;

America is broke, and needs its old friends

The US badly needs its European allies to help redress its loss of balance and stem the haemorrhaging of its international clout. 

Barack Obama’s $3.8tn budget is a vastly complex affair. But one fact stands out plainly: in layman’s terms, America is broke. The federal government’s outgoings will exceed income by about $1.6tn this year; over the next 10 years combined, the predicted gap is $8.5tn. Given the partisan impasse on Capitol Hill over spending cuts and higher taxes, there is no reason to assume matters will improve any time soon.

Obama suggested this week that such mind-boggling improvidence is unsustainable, economically and even morally. But continuing, chronic American financial vulnerability also carries increasingly serious implications for US global influence and its standing as the world’s only superpower. In short, the deficit, and the mindset that produces it, begin to threaten the post-1945 security architecture.

The western world has been here before. In Asia, Africa, and the Middle East after the second world war, the US extended its geopolitical pre-eminence and market dominance, filling a vacuum where the exhausted British and European empires once held sway. Facing serious competition only from the Soviet Union, America supplanted the “old world” and took control. The end of the cold war entrenched its global grip.

Now the wheel turns – and it is the US that is coming down with a bump. In prospect is America’s “east of Suez” moment, when imperial Britain was forced to recognise it could no longer afford to project its power into every corner of the globe. Washington’s still pre-eminent military might is increasingly unmatched and undermined by its economic performance and, arguably, by its political leadership. As Obama noted in his West Point speech on Afghanistan, the US can no longer finance open-ended wars.

The end of the American empire has long been foretold. But it’s not hubris or hostile action that brings it low. It’s a lack of readies, meaning unpaid, high-interest, foreign-owned debt, and an unaffordable lifestyle. And unlike the postwar period, when a Europe with common interests, a broadly similar political outlook, and shared values passed the security baton to the US, America has no like-minded, amicable successor to turn to as its own power fades. Quite the opposite, in fact.

China, the country most likely to replace the US some time this century as the world’s top dog, has sent blunt signals in recent months indicating how very different a post-American world will look. At Copenhagen, by many accounts, it played spoiler against the developed world, deliberately humbling Obama. It made political advantage, not climate change, the most pressing issue.

Beijing’s deliberately disproportionate reaction to the latest US arms sale to isolated Taiwan, its noisy objections to any meeting between Obama and the Dalai Lama, and its blatant use of internet censorship and broad disregard for international human rights norms highlight disturbing differences in priorities and attitudes.

China’s rapid military buildup, its appeasement of Iran’s energy-rich, nuclear-suspect regime, its exploitative development and resource policies in Africa, and its unfair trading and currency practices are strategically more destabilising. All this suggests a government ruthlessly on the make, determined to exploit perceived weakness in Washington and increasingly prepared to act in direct opposition to western security and political interests.

Accumulated US public debt of $7.5tn, much of it held by China, was heightening American vulnerability in the face of such challenges, said Wall Street Journal columnist Gerald Seib. “The US government this year will borrow one of every three dollars it spends, with many of those funds coming from foreign countries,” he wrote this week. “That weakens America’s standing and its freedom to act; strengthens China and other world powers, including cash-rich oil producers; puts long-term defence spending at risk; undermines the American system as a model for developing countries; and reduces the aura of power that has been a great intangible asset for presidents for more than a century.”

Obama isn’t cutting defence, not yet at any rate. And some argue that a world not girdled by American military bases, embassies and trade missions would be a better place. But it might not be a safer one. It would almost certainly be less compatible with western democratic standards and value systems. These are powerful reasons to invert former British prime minister George Canning’s famous 1826 call to bring “the new world into existence to redress the balance of the old”.

On present trends, Obama’s America badly needs the allies of “old world” Europe to help redress its loss of balance and stem the haemorrhaging of its international clout. With wolves at the door, the transatlantic relationship, often dismissed as moribund and unimportant under George Bush and Obama, may be coming back into its own.

Obama does not seem to realise this yet, with the state department announcing this week, for example, that the president will not attend a US-EU summit in Spain in May.

Give him time. As the bills pile up and threat levels rise, America may remember who its real friends are.”
