Recently, three developments concerning Israel and the United States, have coalesced into a troubling biblical pattern. This pattern could be a necessary path to end times prophetic fulfillments.
Development #1: Section 219 of the National Defense Authorization Act
The National Defense Authorization Act is an annual federal law establishing the funding of the United States Military budget. It’s the most expensively funded law in the United States.
Aside from the normal excessive spending on questionable defense items, section 219 outlines a new partnership with a foreign government, that will alter the sovereignty of the United States adversely.
In section 219 directs the U.S. secretary of Defense to appoint an “executive agent” to integrate American and Israeli military sectors for the purpose of…
- Establishing joint development of highly sensitive technologies such as artificial intelligence, cyber warfare, quantum computing and autonomous systems. This includes the integration of intelligence agencies like Massoud and the C.I.A.
- Mandating “network integration” to link military communications and fuse data between the two countries.
- Giving legal support for defending Israeli military interests, although not bringing the militaries to a single force.
Point 1 means that as Israel operates in surveillance so will the United States. This will certainly include further intrusions into the privacy of U.S. citizen, not only by their own government, but also that of Israel.
What makes this more problematic are at least four bills concerning antisemitism, which have been introduced in congress, condemning such acts as denying the holocaust, to speaking against the Israeli government for almost anything.
Recently the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance formed a comprehensive definition of antisemitism, which has been adopted by 38 states in America. This document relegates antisemitism mostly to speech, which is problematic in a nation with the first amendment. Below are some of the more problematic portions out of the definition.
“Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions”.
“Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews”.
“Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.”
“Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.”
In this small sample of the definition accusing a Jewish person of a real crime, can be considered hate speech.
Speaking against Israel’s current policy in Gaza where over 67,000 Palestinian citizens have died and more than 1.7 million have been displaced; is a criminal act.
Legitimately questioning a foreign military action, which is wildy disproportionate to its reason for said operation, is considered a hate speech crime in 38 U.S. States.
Also, it is hate speech to suggest that Jewish people killed Jesus or had anything to do with killing Jesus. Forget the biblical and historical fact, that Jewish leaders were complicit (with the Romans), in the death of Christ; because to say it is hate speech.
Why is this development so alarming?
In addition to these facts, most Americans would be shocked at how much tax money is given to Israel from the United States government with no input from American citizens, as to if that is what they want.
Many would be shocked by The American Israel Public Affairs Committee or AIPAC. This lobbying group gives contributions to 415 of the 535 to congressmen and senators. This group with various American Jewish donors spent more money on a recent primary campaign, to unseat an incumbent and critic of Israel, than in the history of U.S. politics.
Making this more troubling is how the current war with Iran is advancing the idea that U.S. interests and Israeli interests are one in the same. This is where we begin to see an intersection with a very troubling biblical type.
Babylon is considered the last days type of one world government and one world religion, which are described in the Old Testament prophecies and the book of Revelation.
We see Babylon rise foundationally in Genesis 11, after the flood. Babel was founded by Nimrod, who is the first type of Antichrist king, with a one world religion and government.
After the flood, GOD reiterated to Noah, that he and his family were to “be fruitful and populate it abundantly (Genesis 9:1-7). The command was to fill the entire earth with people. Nimrod had other ideas.
Genesis 11:1-4 1Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”
In this passage we can see the defiance of Nimrod who built Babel as his first kingdom against God (Genesis 10:8-11). Which was acll for the people of the world to ignore God’s command.
Why a tower to heaven? Because Nimrod was “mighty” or a “Gibbor” synonymous with the Genesis 6 “Nephelium” or giants, the abominable offspring of angels who left their first estate and human woman (Jude 1:6).
The first incursion of these “Nephelium” were killed in the flood, although Genesis 6:4 states there were other times this occurred after the flood. The tower of Babel was a two-fold slam against YHWH.
In the first place it was a giant middle finger declaring our tower is so tall a flood won’t kill us. Secondly it was a blasphemous statement questioning God’s promise to never flood the earth again. Its function a temple to Nimrod, who claimed he was a god/man.
This city was the dwelling place of almost the entirety of the earth’s population with one language, one-world government and one world religion. Babel is personified in the civilization which would arise in its location, Babylon.
In Jeremiah 7:18, 44:17, 25, as well as Ezekiel 8:14, we see how the Jewish people had aligned with religious Babylon, even though it was antithetical to God’s word.
In Daniel 2 and 4 we read of visions of Babylon, the great kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar, being destroyed by the Kingdom of God, in Christ Jesus.
Jeremiah prophesies it would be Babylon to take Israel into captivity and gives a three-fold prophetic vision of Babylon, which includes Babylon (in Rome) at the time of Christ and the end times Babylon in Jeremiah 50 and 51.
The first Babylon was literally that kingdom which rose up in the area of Babel to dominate the world for a time. The second Babylon, is that of Rome, as it covered the earth, with a one world government and religion, which syncretized all false gods together.
Rome is the fourth beast mentioned in Daniel 7 and that last kingdom, which is a melting pot, of nations tribes and tongues, economic and governmental power and a Co-exist religion that allows for all to be, but the kingdom of God.
This Roman entity, which is of the Babylonian system, would destroy Jerusalem and dominate the world, but in the last days will rise again.
This “Babylon” will be the governmental and economic seat of the Antichrist, and will not be current day Rome or Vatican City, but potentially New York City in the United States. Let us examine the word of God.
I have written much on the founding of the United States and how are system is fondationally modeled on the Roman Republic. There is more than I can wirte in this article (ask and I can send you links).
Revelation 18:1-31After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”
This passage describes America very well. America has “fallen” from being a nation of morality, to a nation of filth, perversion, idolatry and greed.
More sinful sexual immorality is produced through Hollywood and pornographic movies than any other nation on earth. Sexual immorality through the normalization of abomination, in the LGBT rights and tolerance, is a tower of Babel higher than any other nation. This in addition to the murder of almost 70 million human beings in the womb, reveals the fall.
We can see God’s word epitomized, concernign Babylon, in America.
“Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her”
When we consider the amount of wealth generated from the United States and its massive economic influence in the world, has there ever been any nation, such as America, in its influence?
3For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”
Please read the entire text of Revelation 18 and discover Babylon as arrogant sitting as a royal entity in its own mind, a port city, that will not be humbled—that the merchants of the earth fornicated and lived in luxury because of their relationship, in commerce.
We see a nation and city that produces every kind of luxury (unnecessary) that the world wants, and “even the bodies and the souls of men”. Not only is this a reference to the chattel slave trade of America’s past, but also the sex trafficking of today, the porn industry of today and the sports trade trading the bodies of men.
Recently, when NBA teams were looking to purchase the services of Lebron James. An additional $240 million was bet on where he would eventually sign his contract. Has there ever been such a perversion of how everyday people view money and their desire for it, in such foolish betting speculation?
Perhaps the most telling element identifying America potentially as Babylon, is in Revelation 18:23-24.
Revelation 18:23-24 23The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.”
Some who agree with America being end times Babylon, will point to “the voice of the bridegroom and the bride”, as a reference to how marriage in America has dropped precipitously over the last 50 years. It is true the rate of first-time marriages has dropped 60% or more in that time frame (that is astronomical); but I believe the scriptures may be referring to the silencing of the Church through persecution.
Consider that during the covid 19 pandemic, pressure for churches to close, from government officials in Ohio, where there were no legal sanctions on normal fellowship services, led to 98% of churches being closed on Resurrection Sunday.
Christ is the Bridegroom and we are the Bride, yes? Were we not feared into silence, unnecessarily? Yes!
In the time of the dominance of Babylon’s one world economy and government, in New York City (where the foundation of Antichrist’s government is already seated at the United Nations), a persecution of American Christians will make the holocaust look tame, by comparison.
In this movement to silence the Bridegroom and the Bride, “the light of the lamp with not shine” and we are the light of the world, described as a lampstand in the New Testament (Matthew 5:13-16; Revelation 2 and 3).
Make no mistake, laws have been passed and are set to be passed, which moves America closer to this position.
In my next blog, we will see Babylon’s one world religion, as centered in Jerusalem. We will look into two near events, which magnify the relationship between the United States and Israel.
