Mystery Babylon

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Mystery Babylon


Quoting: Mr. Rev. Clarence Larkin. “When Attalus, the Pontiff and King of Pergamos, died B.C. 133, he bequeathed the Headship of the Babylonian Priesthood to Rome. When the Etruscans came to Italy from Lydia (The region of Pergamos), they brought with them the Babylonian religion and rites. They set up a Pontiff who was head of the Priesthood. Later the Romans accepted this Pontiff as their civil ruler. Julius Caesar was made Pontiff of the Etruscan Order in B.C. 74. In B. C. 63, he was made Supreme Pontiff of the “Babylonian Order,” thus becoming heir to the rights an title of Attalus, Pontiff of Pergamos…Thus the first Roman Emperor become head of the “Babylonian Priesthood” and Rome the successor of Babylon (p. 151-152).” ...Constantine the Great coinage carried the symbols of the sun-cult until 324. Even when he dedicated the new capital of Constantinople, which became the seat of Byzantine Christianity for a millennium, he did so wearing the Apollonian sun-rayed Diadem. Constantine was the Pagan High priest of the Babylonian Mystery cult.


Attalus III (in Greek Attalos III) Philometor Euergetes (ca 170 BC – 133 BC) was the last Attalid king of Pergamon, ruling from 138 BC to 133 BC.


Rev. Alexander Hislop states: “… There never has been any difficulty in the mind of any enlightened Protestant in identifying the woman sitting on seven hills, and having on her fore head the name written ‘Mystery, Babylon the great,’ with the Roman apostasy. No other city in the world has ever been celebrated, as the city of Rome has … for its situation on seven hills (p. 2).”
Mystery Babylon.

That city is Rome, and more specifically, Vatican City.

Catholic apologist Karl Keating admits that Rome has long been known as Babylon. Keating claims that Peter's statement "The church here in Babylon ... sends you her greeting" (from I Peter 5:13) proves that Peter was writing from Rome. He explains further:

"Babylon is a code word for Rome. It is used that way six times in the last book of the Bible [four of the six are in chapters 17 and 18 and in extrabiblical works such as Sibylling Oracles (5, 159f.), the Apocalypse of Baruch (ii, 1), and 4 Esdras (3:1).

Eusebius Pamphilius, writing about 303, noted that "it is said that Peter's first epistle... was composed at Rome itself; and that he himself indicates this, referring to the city figuratively as Babylon."

As for "Mystery," that name imprinted on the woman's forehead is the perfect designation for Vatican City. Mystery is at the very heart of Roman Catholicism, from the words "Mysterium fide" pronounced at the alleged transformation of the bread and wine into the literal body and blood of Christ to the enigmatic apparitions of Mary around the world.


Every sacrament, from baptism to extreme unction, manifests the mysterious power which the faithful must believe the priests wield, but for which there is no visible evidence. Rome's new Catechism explains that liturgy "aims to initiate souls into the mystery of Christ (It is 'mystagogy.')" and that all of the Church's liturgy is "mystery." For more info see: Link"

That's right. Rome is Mystery Babylon. They may help to build a temple but it sure as heck isn't God's temple. Maybe they'll bride the Jews with those treasures that they stole. Ob 11, Eze 21:25

If you build it, the idolaters will come.

Putin has made it clear that he does not have the army for a ground invasion. He'll have to nuke. You poke a Russian enough and he will respond.

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "As long as Christians look towards the Vatican for Mystery Babylon, the real Hidden Babylon will remain hidden from their eyes."

They're hoping you look at Islam.

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...[E]ven the Methodists over a century later still deemed the Roman Church the seat of the Antichrist..." 

We're smarter now (e.g. Second Law of Thermodynamics). We make things go.

Everyone has always known that the antichrist will be a pope. Maybe there is time for one more pope (e.g. Adolfo Nicolas). Rome has had a long line of antichrists that would fit the bill (1 Jn 2:18).

It is very clear that Mystery Babylon is one particular city, why do you ignore it? United Nations..."

Catholics have traveled the world to create their double devils (Mt 23:15).

Obama (Eze 38:3) wants that job at the UN. Maybe he'll get it.
