The word Babylon means confusion, a derivative of the word Babel. We enter this world in accordance with God’s Creation, filled with God’s spirit of love and His word of truth. But in the process of time, we separate ourselves from this pure spiritual essence, building a spiritual tower of Babel, brick by brick, lie by lie, the carnal mind carrying us away into Babylon; into confusion… The great religious image that has brought so much confusion was headed by the Catholic Church, the MotherChurch…
Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. Daniel 2:31-35
The head of gold symbolizes the doctrine of the Catholic Church. The breasts and arms of silver symbolize the doctrine of Trinity. The belly and thighs of brass symbolize the doctrine of Pentecost. The legs of iron symbolize the political power that gives strength to the religious image. The feet, part iron and part clay, symbolizes the mixing of politics and religion. This was the image seen by the king of Babylon, which translates to the spirit of confusion.
Thou, O king, art a king of kings; for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power; and strength, and glory… thou art this head of gold. Daniel 2:37,38
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Revelation 17:5
And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. Daniel 2:39. The second kingdom, inferior in power to the Catholic Church, is Trinity. But it is the third kingdom, Pentecost, whose spirit of anger and oppression will bear rule over all the earth. The first two kingdoms make up Israel, symbolizing the Mind, the gold and silver revealing the spirits that are ruling the mind. The word gold means yellow, symbolizing doubt, yellow being the slang word for cowardly. The word silver means to become pale, fear. Doubt and fear are ruling the mind. But it is the third kingdom of Judah, symbolizing the realm of the Heart, that is our real concern. The negative and destructive spirit ruling the heart is of brass, which means the red color of the throat of a serpent when hissing. The color red, in this context, symbolizes danger, the hissing serpent symbolizing the anger that brings with it great oppression, a threatening spirit that will bear rule over the whole earth.
And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. Daniel 2:40… After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. Daniel 7:7. The fourth kingdom is synonymous with the fourth beast, which is diverse in that it is political; dreadful, terrible, and strong. The ten horns, like the ten toes, symbolize ten political kingdoms or nations that give their power to the beastly religious image.
And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. Genesis 15:17. The furnace symbolizes the spiritual judgment that will consume our beastly sacrifice, the lamp symbolizing the light of truth that exposes the heifer, the she-goat, and the ram.
And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell:.. Revelation 16:19. The great city is Babylon. The word city means to have your eyes opened, and what we are to have our eyes opened to is our own confusion. To bring down Babylon, we must divide the heifer. The word heifer goes back to the root word meaning to revolve, circular, as the children of Israel went around in circles in the wilderness, symbolizing the patterns we keep repeating. We will break these cycles when we divide the she-goat. The word she-goat means, to be stout, or stubborn, a characteristic of the astrological goat. It is stubbornness that keeps us going around and around in these same old habits. Stubbornness, which boils down to fear and doubt or lack of trust, keeps us from getting to the truth, which frees us from the beliefs that cause us to repeat the same mistakes. Truth divides the ram. The word ram means strength, in the negative sense. The ram symbolizes idolatry, the worshipping of false images. We have been using the power of our false religious and self-images or beliefs to fight against the truth.
