Mystery Babylon and modern paganism The Bible says that in the last days there will be a falling away from the true faith to doctrines of demons. The book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ tells us that in the end time a woman riding a beast will appear (this pagan god riding a beast of burden is today displayed all over Europe as one of the symbols for the European Union). The woman on the Beast in Revelation is Mystery Babylon. The Beast according to Daniel and Revelation will come out of the area of the revived Roman empire. It will be the last Gentile world empire before the return of Christ. _______________________________________________________________________ The woman on the Beast is described as a harlot, she is the world religious system led from Rome. She is identified as a harlot because she retains the name of God but has been infiltrated by pagan Babylonian doctrines of demons. She rides on the back of the last Gentile world empire but the Beast will hate her and in the end will devour her. _____________________________________________________________ As a foreshadow Hitler used the Roman Church to get into power but documents now tell us that after the Jews were killed, Christians were to be next. In the same way the world leader that will rise in Europe will get guidance and direction from the Vatican. (She will control all world religion in the end time.) However, in the end, the world leader (Antichrist) will claim to be God and seek to kill all those who will not worship him as God. _______________________________________________________________ Many wonder how satanic religion could come to power in this day and age. We think we are too sophisticated to worship demons, practice witchcraft or be in the occult. However, if you examine the beliefs of world religions and the 'new age/new spirituality' movement you will see that the demonic deceptions of neo-paganism and eastern philosophies have already infiltrated the whole world and even much of Christianity. ________________________________________________________________________ Some say paganism is not satanic since most pagans claim they do not worship Satan. However, adoration of any god or goddess outside of the true God of the Bible is idolatry and is satanically inspired. The belief that spiritual power can come to an individual outside of the God of the Bible through self-effort, by forces in nature or from spirits separated from the biblical God descend from the mystery religion of Babylonian paganism. All world religious beliefs not founded on the absolute truths of the Bible have descended from the Mystery Babylon and can be describe as religions of Babylonian paganism. Those who claim they are not pagans because they are not witches do not understand the common root and source of all polytheistic and pantheistic beliefs. ________________________________________________________________________ The Bible says there is nothing new under the sun. There also is nothing new in witchcraft, 'new age/new spirituality' or in eastern polytheistic religions either because they all came from the same root source. All these beliefs originated from Babylonian mystery religion that goes back to the rebellion against God at the tower of Babel over 4,000 years ago. __________________________________________________________________ The 'new age/new spirituality' movement is a loose collection of many things that have pagan roots. This modern pagan movement is nothing more than ancient paganism put in a new package. The polytheistic religious of the East and those in 'new age/new spirituality' beliefs and witchcraft all have a common root source in ancient Babylon and they share the common Polytheist and/or Pantheist beliefs of the mystery religion that began at Babylon. Most 'new age' leaders have now rejected the term 'new age' they call themselves part of the 'new spirituality' movement. However, be assured, no matter how much they deny being 'new age' this 'new spirituality' is still 'new age' doctrine and Babylonian paganism with a refined title. The 'new spirituality' movement is a more refined pagan movement for those who rejected certain practices that were identified with the 'new age' movement. This 'new spirituality' concept or movement is the latest effort to make polytheistic and pantheistic beliefs acceptable to the mainstream public. The core of it originates from doctrines of demons that first reared its head at Babylon. _______________________________________________________________________ Many Catholic practices are also pagan and parallel 'new age' theology. Most Catholics will not have any problem embracing any doctrine said to come from a Mary apparition or the so called vicar of Christ (the Pope). Unfortunately most Catholics do not embrace the scriptures as they ought and follow traditions of men instead of the word of God; They make the sacrifice of the atonement of Jesus insufficient and leave themselves wide open to demonic deception. _____________________________________________________________________ Just a few pagan practices in the Roman Catholic Church: The rituals and practices of a priesthood to intercede and rule over the laity A infallible vicar of Christ __________________ Rote prayer______________________ The Rosary (rote prayer to Mary for intercession)____________________ Scapulars________________________________ Indulgences________________________________ Worship of the queen of heaven (as Mary but in reality this pagan god with child pre-existed Mary)____________________________________________ Holy Rituals_____________________________________________ Sacraments_______________________ Holy water________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ The mission, practices, and methods of the Jesuits Signs of the time Paganism and Satan worship is the final form of religion before the second coming of Christ. Halfway through the tribulation the world rejects Judaism and Christianity. All remaining believers are told to come out of Babylon (Rev 18:4). At that point in time persecution by pagans begins in earnest against the believers of Jehovah/Jesus all over the world. _________________________________________________________________________ Modern paganism is on an exponential rise and is now found in all religions. It even has great influence in the forming of the new European superstate. Paganism has taken over so much of our government in the US and Canada that the only real God of creation cannot even be acknowledged in our schools, courts and public places. Pagan practices are now being set up, practiced and enforced at every level of society including in our churches. ___________________________________________________________________ It is obvious to the astute that there are many in high places who are pushing modern paganism as the answer to the world's problems. They have been slowly brainwashing the population. Their goal is a world government and a world religion. The world religion they envision will demand tolerance for all beliefs in deity. However, they will have no tolerance for true biblical Christianity that makes the claim that the only path to God is through His Son Jesus and that there really is absolute truth. But, what should we expect from a philosophy that believes that God is made in our own image._____________________________________________________________________ If you doubt the power of these modern pagan idealists look at what has happened in Europe. There are now 25 nation states in the EU. This is not the final configuration but a new Roman Empire will reemerge in some form under a central government and a single constitution. Many who said Europe would arise as a world power were laughed at just a few years ago. Now look two or three decades in the future and honestly tell me that a world government will not be implemented by these same brand of idealists. After all, The EU is just a pilot project or working model of the one world utopia that they envision. _____________________________________________________________________ We are seeing what the prophets said would happen in the last days. It would be foolish to think that we are not living in the times written about when we can actually see political and religious leaders dancing to the end time script of evil puppet masters. Political and religious Mystery Babylon is ascending to the center stage and it is happening in this generation. www.raptureready.com
