---The heart of
Babylon was always idolatry. Gods with a small /g/.
---Why? Bab-ilu
means “gate of the gods”.
---It is
considered the heavenly touch point of this earth.
---But all these
gods originated in the minds of the people and were made of metals or wood or
stone.
---The shape of
the god’s face is that of the artist’s friend!
---Human construct
put forward as religious and sacred to be revered and loyal to.
---Like the US
Flag? Like any country’s flag? Where is the hand when the flag is watched and
the song of the flag is sung?
---Reverence for
the flag is equal to idolatry?
---Bowing for Kim,
Il-Sung in Pyungyang is the same as personality cult and idolatry? Right?
---Kissing the
pope’s hand or feet is personality cult and recognition that he is the vicarius
filii dei, the substitute of the Son of God on earth, the role the Holy Spirit
in actuality is occupying. Right?
---Sennacherib
came twice to Babylon to fight it. One time I think was in 702 BC and the
second time was in 689 BC when he razed Babylon to the ground.
---He took Marduk
to Niniveh and the Babylonians were very angry.
---At another time
the gods were hidden among the marshes so they could not get it.
---Sennacherib was
called a “perfect man” in his inscriptions in 691 BC.
---He boasted that
he “chopped off the hand of a man as you would chop off a cucumber.” How
perfect can one be!
---Sennacherib got
very upset when the kings did not want to get out of their cities and come and
lie on the ground and kiss his feet in submission. Hello?
---Did the pope
not do the same with a certain king in the Middle Ages? He had to do the same
thing. Birds of a feather?
---Sennacherib
stayed in Niniveh and the Stephanie Dalley principle is that Niniveh was also
called “Babylon.” Right?
---Niniveh,
Babylon proper, Shushan, Athens, Rome, Vatican, [New York?]
---So finally,
here we are at the End Time waiting for Jesus to come and we are asking
ourselves, where is our loyalty?
