The Last Days of Babylon?
By Benjamin Baruch
The biblical prophet Jeremiah prophesied that the nations would serve the king of Babylon for seventy years, and when the seventy years were completed, God would judge the king of Babylon and that nation. In perfect fulfillment, ancient Babylon was conquered by Cyrus, king of the Medes and Persians, in a single night.
A similar 70-year reign of end-time Babylon is also revealed in Jeremiah 25:12 which describes both the judgment of ancient Babylon and its king followed by a judgment upon “the land of the Chaldeans,” a name which references the satanic elite or “Deep State” that would one day rule the end-time superpower described in Scripture as “Mystery Babylon the Great.”
“The nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years and when seventy years are accomplished, I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it a perpetual desolation” (Jeremiah 25:11-12).
If we look closely at the second half of this prophecy, the reference to the land of the Chaldeans, which will become a perpetual desolation following its judgment, was not fulfilled in the fall of ancient Babylon, nor was the nation of Babylon reduced to a perpetual desolation at the time of her judgment.
Following the conquest of ancient Babylon, Cyrus’s first action was to free all of the slaves. Rather than being physically destroyed, the ancient city of Babylon and its people were left unharmed. Yet the text in Jeremiah 25:12 reveals the land of the Chaldeans would become an utter desolation at the time of its judgment. So, what exactly is the meaning of this reference, “the land of the Chaldeans,” and why has this part of the prophecy not yet been fulfilled?
End-Time Judgments on Babylon
The balance of Jeremiah 25 gives us the obvious answer; beginning in verse 13 the prophet presents events which are part of the judgment of Almighty God at the end of the age, which will begin with the land of the Chaldeans. None of the events prophesied in the second half of Jeremiah 25 occurred in the fall of ancient Babylon.
In Jeremiah 25:14 we are told, “Many nations and great kings shall come against the land of the Chaldeans” whereas only the Medes and Persians came against ancient Babylon. The text goes on to warn that these many nations shall take the Chaldean people into slavery. In his conquest of ancient Babylon, Cyrus freed the slaves and didn’t take any Babylonian citizens into slavery.
In Jeremiah 25:15, the Lord commissions Jeremiah to carry the cup of his wrath to all the nations of the earth, citing 30 of them by name, with 30 being the number of maturity or fullness.
In Jeremiah 25:26 the Lord makes this matter absolutely clear. He is talking about the judgment of God which shall come upon the entire earth at the end of the age adding to the list of thirty nations the statement “and all of the kingdoms of the world which are upon the face of the earth” – a clear reference to the judgment at the end of the age when God judges the entire earth.
In Jeremiah 25:30 the prophet declares that God shall utter his voice “against all the inhabitants of the earth” following his judgment of the land of the Chaldeans, whereas in ancient Babylon, God only judged the king, giving the nation over to the Medes.
In Jeremiah 25:31 we are told “a noise shall come to the ends of the earth.” When ancient Babylon fell to the Medes, they crept in silently in the middle of the night as quiet as a church mouse. No one heard a thing, and when the people awoke in the morning it was already over. There was no noise heard at the ends of the earth. But in the judgement of “Mystery Babylon” at the end of the age, the noise shall be heard among the nations.
In Jeremiah 25:32 we are told an “evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up.” Nothing of the sort happened in ancient Babylon.
Is America the ‘Daughter of Babylon’?
The prophecy of God’s judgment upon Babylon after her rule over the nations for seventy years is repeating at the end of the age in America.
The prophecies in Jeremiah 50 and 51 also describe the judgment upon America at the end of age in which America is described as the “daughter of Babylon,” a descendant empire in which the cities will one day burn like Sodom and Gomorrah.
In this section of scripture, America is referred to as the land of the Chaldeans seven times, and the scripture is emphatically clear, the land of America will become a complete desolation at the time of her judgment. None of the prophecies within Jeremiah 50 and 51 were fulfilled in the fall of ancient Babylon.
“How is the hammer of the whole earth broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations! And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant (Jeremiah 50:23, 51:29, 43).
The sword that came upon the King of Babylon in the time of Jeremiah did not come upon the inhabitants of Babylon; the sword only came upon the king and the ruling elite. The inhabitants of Babylon continued to live their lives as if nothing happened. In much of the empire, they didn’t know the kingdom had fallen for several months. Yet in Jeremiah 50, we are told the sword will come upon the inhabitants of the daughter of Babylon.
“A sword is upon the Chaldeans, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men” (Jeremiah 50:35).
In the judgment of ancient Babylon, the army of the Medes slipped in quietly under the cover of darkness and when the people awoke in the morning it was over, and not a sound was heard. When America is destroyed, the sounds of battle and of great destruction will be heard in the land at the time of her judgment.
“A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction. How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!” (Jeremiah 50:22-23)
The Land of the Chaldeans
Chaldea is a name commonly assumed as a synonym for the land of Babylon, but the Chaldeans were in fact a separate region to the south which became absorbed into ancient Babylon.
The Chaldeans were masters of all forms of incantation, sorcery, witchcraft, and the magical arts. The term Chaldean in Hebrew translates as an astrologer or professional occultist. Chaldeans were counted among the wise men of ancient Babylon whom the king summoned to interpret his dream in Daniel 2.
“And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, he dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him. Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king” (Daniel 2:2).
Ancient Babylon was revealed as the “head of gold” in the king’s dream with each successive empire within the great statue also part of “Mystery Babylon” that represents the kingdom of Satan, which would rule over the earth in diverse times and places.
The city of Babylon’s history dates back to the early chapters of the book of Genesis. It was only under the rule of the Chaldeans that ancient Babylon rose from being a nation state to an empire which would dominate its regional part of the world for seventy years.
The history of America has similar parallels. The United States pursued an isolationist foreign policy until the rise of the modern American empire in the late 1940’s. It was during this period that the satanic shadow government silently assumed control of America and thus Satan began to lift up America as a global empire, and what would become the last days super-power described as the “hindermost” nation” in Jeremiah 50.
“Behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goes by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues” (Jeremiah 50:12-13).
The word used for hindermost in this text is אַחֲרִית, ‘achărı̂yth which means the last and final superpower. A similar word is used in Genesis 33:2 where it is translated “in the west.” The shadow government of the last day’s superpower, America, which rose in the West are once again the sorcerers of the satanic secret societies whose roots trace back to the ancient mystery religion of the Chaldeans, which is the mystery religion of the beast.
“Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?” (Jeremiah 50:44).
In the above Scripture, the Lord directly asks this question: who will appoint or discern the timing for the judgment of America Babylon? Who will declare the time of her fall? Who will give the legal summons to America demanding she appear for her trial by fire? This prophetic riddle is one of the tests required of the men of wisdom presented in the Scriptures.
This is the only verse of Bible prophecy where the text reveals that someone would discern the timing of an event beforehand and this discernment is not itself a prophecy, as the text does not say, “who will I reveal the timing to beforehand.”
The text uses the word “appoint” which is the word יָעַד, yâ‛ad and it means to fix by agreement or appointment; to summon to a trial, to appoint or discern a time.
Thus, the discernment of the timing of the judgment of America Babylon would not come through a prophetic revelation, but rather would be discerned after careful study and meditation on the parable of the fig tree, and its unveiling within the prophecies hidden within the Psalms; and like the words of God, it too would be purified over time.
Did Secret Societies Seize America in a Silent Coup?
The institutions of power through which America would lead the post-war world were created for most part in 1948; these include the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs or GATT, NATO, the World Health Organization, the Organization of American States, and the Marshall Plan.
The World Council of Churches was also created that year to exercise American leadership over what would become apostate Christianity. All the leaders of the western world gathered in Washington to witness the signing of the NATO treaty on April 4, 1949, for the official crowning of America as the new leader of the free world.
While the world hoped the new American Century would bring both peace and prosperity, behind the closed doors of the world’s secret societies, the Chaldean sorcerers had already seized power in a silent coup d’état. They would consolidate their rule through the creation of a shadow government within America’s political institutions that would direct America’s policies under the control of the satanic elite who had already acquired ownership of America’s global corporate giants. The new establishment would now exercise its rule through control of the media, education, and both political parties.
The other key events of 1949 included the formation of the Council of Europe in August for the purpose of developing a framework to unite Europe while on the same day the Soviet Union tested its first atomic bomb.
The Federal Republic of Germany was officially founded in May while in September, America’s first mass shooting occurred. On October 1, Mao Zedong declared the creation of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) after the end of China’s four-year civil war while on December 13 the Knesset voted to move the capital of Israel to Jerusalem. Suddenly all of the end times actors were presented on the world’s stage together.
With America as the sole legitimate leader of the free world and now firmly under control of a Deep State, the Chaldeans began to build an empire. In order to grow quickly, a new enemy was required, so Russia was lifted as a nuclear power and a new Cold War began.
As Israel declared Jerusalem their eternal capital, the shadow government forces of the Antichrist begin moving the nations towards a New World Order with the formation of Council of Europe. So, the only question is: what is the proper count for the seventy-year reign of America Babylon at the end of the age? And when will America fall?
When Will America Fall?
Nebuchadnezzar ascended the throne on the same day as he reached the capital (1st of Elul, on the 6/7th September 605 B.C.) and was immediately recognized as king.
The history of the Chaldean kings treats the events following the day that Nebuchadnezzar sat on the royal throne at Babylon until the celebration of the New Year festival eight months later as a distinct period called “the accession year” – marked off from the events leading up to the accession separating them from those of the first full calendar year of his reign.”
The institutions of global government were all erected following World War II and the final crowning of America as the leader of the free world (the crowning of the rider on the white horse of the book of Revelation) took place with the signing of the NATO treaty in Washington, D.C. in April of 1949. This was the year the Deep State lifted America Babylon to the throne of the world, thus under the Chaldean tradition, 1949 was the year of ascension while 1950 would mark the first year of the rule of America as end-time Mystery Babylon over the nations.
Assuming the seventy-year reign began in 1950, 1963 would become the 13th year of their rule. This was the year the Deep State murdered America’s freely elected president in broad daylight and then sealed the official investigation.
It was also the year they took prayer out of the schools in America, with thirteen being the number of rebellion.
1973 was the twenty-third year of their reign, the year in which it became legal to kill babies in America following the Roe v. Wade decision, with the number twenty-three being the number of death.
1969 was the nineteenth year of their rule. The number nineteen carries the power of the number one as well as iniquity implied by the number nine, which is an upside down six, representing human values turned upside down.
This message of inversion of normal values is repeated in the meaning of the number sixty-nine, which is perversion. The first number one and the last number of nine before ten, thus represents the completion of the past, and the door to the future.
In ancient times, it was known as the “Number of Surrender.” So, 1969 represented the completion of the task of corrupting America, fatally damaging the Christian foundations of our heritage through the rebellion of the 1960’s which came to maturity that year. It also marked the beginning of the destruction of the family, as the shadow government normalized divorce and then forced mothers into the workplace during the inflation of the 1970’s.
2019 also represents a year of completion representing both the number nineteen and the sixty-ninth year of the rule of the Chaldean kings, as the Deep State has now completed the division of our once United States into two soon to be warring camps.
In simple terms, the year 2019 is the sixty-ninth year of their rule, and it represents the completion of their task of destroying Christian America whose end will inaugurate a new beginning, the dawn of the New World Order.
In 1969, the new beginning was the transformation of our country over the next fifty years into an atheistic, perverted, and divided nation where liberals now embrace the ideals of communism and where the Christian heritage of our country is now viewed as racism, or a form of white supremacy.
The year 2020 will usher in the seventieth year of their rule which should also witness the end of our once free nation. The seventy-year reign of America can be measured as follows with World War III likely to occur within the seventieth year.
The crowning of America 1949
The First Year of America Babylon’s Reign 1950
Beginning of the 70th year 2020
End of the 70th year 2021
Is 2020-21 the End of America’s Seventy-Year Reign?
The prophecy of Jeremiah 25:12 declared all the nations would serve the king of Babylon for seventy years. Europe and Japan were severely damaged by the destruction of World War II and their populations were impoverished.
So, the nations all began to “serve” America after the end of World War II, building export industries to harvest their raw materials or produce goods to be sold in America.
In the early years, America paid for this trade in gold, but in 1971, with its gold reserves nearly depleted, President Richard Nixon and his Secretary of State Henry Kissinger created the petrodollar in a secret agreement with the Saudi regime.
In paying for its trade deficit, America would now export only debt, while OPEC would accept only U.S. dollars in payment for oil. These dollars would be recycled in the U.S. Treasury market, financing the U.S. budget deficit, or they would be used to purchase military weapons from America’s arms industry. In exchange, the United States military would ensure the safety of our allies, and especially the Saudi regime.
By accepting petrodollars, America’s trading partners were knowingly subsidizing the U.S. military budget and the cost could be measured by the level of U.S. currency debasement.
In the early years, the cost of this subsidy was low; while the perceived value of America’s military protection was quite high. Over its forty-five-year history, the petrodollar has allowed the United States to export over $10 trillion in debt, an external debt balance of historic proportions, and a debt which can never be repaid.
The cost of financing America’s structural deficits is no longer perceived as low while the value of America’s military protection is now quite uncertain. We are one military defeat away from the loss of the petrodollar. The first U.S. carrier to be hit by a hyper-sonic missile will mark the end of this era.
Is a Global Financial Shaking Coming?
A global financial collapse will follow almost immediately, leading to the fall of America Babylon. Russia and China intend to use Iran or North Korea as a proxy to test their new fifth generation weapons against the U.S. Navy before directly confronting America themselves.
Following the next war, which is pictured as the Red Horse in the book of Revelation, the Black Horse of famine, plague and death will then devastate the earth.
The Black Plague was called the “Black Death” as it brought misery, death and economic ruin to Europe in the middle of the 14th century. The plague ravaged Europe for seven years, killing an estimated 30-60 percent of the population (30 to 100 million people).
It was finally eradicated in the year 1353. 2019 marks the 666th year anniversary following its eradication in 1353. The plague has coincidentally re-emerged in the slums of skid row in Los Angeles and in the south of Africa, right on time for its 666-year anniversary, and so the Black Horse will begin to ride again as the world enters the beginning of the time of Jacob’s trouble, also a seven-year period, following World War III.
Present-day Americans, by and large, value their comfort more than the truth.
Jeremiah speaks of such people, whose eyes and ears God has closed. They will not repent and therefore they cannot be healed. Only a remnant survives, and our time will be no different.
“In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the Lord. I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats. How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!” (Jeremiah 51:39-41).
There are many reasons why war is coming soon; I will address just a few. First, the financial position of the US is that of “a camel waiting for the proverbial straw.”
U.S. indebtedness and fiscal imbalances, which can never be repaid, rest upon a foundation of imported capital, and are no longer sustainable. And if they were to continue, the cost of sustaining them would be borne by our trading partners, many of whom we are now discovering to be our enemies.
China has recently completed an alternative international settlement system that will allow nations to settle international payments outside of the U.S. dollar and it is now operational.
We are living in the final days of the “petrodollar” era. When the petrodollar goes, the United States will lose its seemingly unlimited funding source for its trade deficit, through which we finance our fiscal deficit and our military budget.
Without the “petrodollar” we won’t be able to export our debt at near zero interest rates. America will then be confronted with a choice: either surrender its super-power status and give up its subsidized standard of living or go to war to defend it.
Unfortunately for America, the choice will not be ours to make as our enemies are already preparing for war against us.
The ‘Overture’ to World War III?
Several recent news incidents dismissed as accidents look very much like the final phase of Russia’s pre-war preparations, described as the “overture” by Soviet defector Victor Suvorov in his book, Spetsnaz: The Inside Story of Russian Special Forces.
The increasing number of “accidents” alongside our growing scandal-filled news cycle fit Suvorov’s description of the overture perfectly while the fictitious events he described now seem eerily prophetic.
In 2018, a train filled with Republican congressmen just happened to be involved in an accident, and had it derailed, the accident could have killed or injured scores of them. For those who are unaware of the strategy embodied within the overture, Suvorov explains:
“The last months of peace, as in other wars, have an almost palpable air of crisis about them. Incidents, accidents, small disasters add to the tension. Two trains collide on a railway bridge … a supertanker bursts into flames. In the United States an epidemic of some unidentified disease breaks out and spreads rapidly; at the same time terrible fires begin raging in the west.
“All these operations – because of course none of these events is an accident – and others like them are known officially in the GRU as the ‘preparatory period’, and unofficially as the ‘overture’. The overture is a series of large and small operations the purpose of which is, before actual military operations begin, to weaken the enemy’s morale, create an atmosphere of general suspicion, fear and uncertainty, and divert the attention of the enemy’s armies and police forces to a huge number of different targets, each of which may be the object of the next attack. The overture is carried out by agents of the secret services of the Soviet satellite countries and by mercenaries recruited by intermediaries. The principal method employed at this stage is ‘grey terror’, that is, a kind of terror which is not conducted in the name of the Soviet Union. The Soviet secret services do not at this stage leave their visiting cards, or leave other people’s cards. The terror is carried out in the name of already existing extremist groups not connected in any way with the Soviet Union, or in the name of fictitious organizations.”
What we have been witnessing in the news over the last two years is a perfect example of the overture. The Russia collusion scandal, the sexual harassment scandals, the spontaneous fires erupting overnight in California, pipeline explosions, numerous train derailments, refinery explosions, power outages, and the 2017 super flu epidemic – these are the exact illustrations Suvorov used to describe what the overture would look like in the eyes of the average American.
Occult Signature of the American Government
The future, for the most part, is unknowable, as mortal men are rarely permitted to peer through its veil.
Most people would also prefer not to see into a future as terrible as ours; they would find it too troubling to their souls. Most Americans do not wish to understand how deeply the darkness has infiltrated our country and our institutions of power. They prefer to neither hear nor understand anything about the terrible catastrophe that awaits our nation.
The dark forces which now control the shadow government in America are as hideous and evil as they are real; they have led us to the edge of an abyss in which our military was intentionally weakened and our nation left virtually defenseless. The window of vulnerability that exists today was left wide open by their design.
These dark forces have ruled over the secret societies of the world from the beginning of time. They are the unseen rulers of this ruined age, and they are under the direct control of Satan.
They have dominated the government of our nation for the better part of the last hundred years through their secret societies which are the prophetic link of the United States to “Mystery Babylon,” for the ruling powers in America are all participants in the same mystery religion practiced in ancient Chaldea.
The book of Revelation reveals the shadow government as ten kings who will rule with Beast; they hate the woman “America Babylon” and so they made our country desolate, and now they plan to burn America with fire.
The 2008 financial crisis, the result of a housing crisis which they engineered, was used to loot our nation. And now they plan to use the next world war to literally burn America with fire.
There should be no doubt of which nation the prophecy speaks: “And the woman, (Mystery Babylon) which thou saw is that great city (nation-state) which reigns over the kings of the earth (at the time of the end)” (Revelation 17:18).
The occult signature left behind by these satanic forces can be found in all the major events of our history; and although this truth can be painful to observe, those who have been called as true watchmen, dare not look away.
“Masonic betrayal of the ‘common man’ involves archetypes of fertility and death symbolism seemingly motivated to bring about syncretism in opposing principles in order to ‘green’ Israel, rebuild the Temple of Solomon and establish a One World government. It is certain that onomatology (and numerology) or the secret science of names (and numbers) forms a very integral part of the mystery school of the higher Masonry…” (Encyclopedia of Freemasonry).
Onomatology is the science or study of the origin, forms and mystical meaning of names. Numerology is the science of occult symbolism based upon the mystical meaning of numbers.
These are both used as symbols to reveal the presence of the dark arts of sorcery and mystic alchemy which are hidden in plain sight in many of the world’s most important events.
These symbols are both symbolic clues and numerological keys which the unseen rulers of this fallen world use to unlock pathways to another realm in order to ensure the success of an endeavor. They are employed frequently by the secret societies whenever they attempt to release the power “as above” in their rituals “so below.”
When you begin to understand these symbols, you will find them as fingerprints at the scene of many crimes, so they ought not to be ignored.
When the ancients saw a scapegoat, they could at least recognize him for what he was: a human sacrifice. When modern man sees one, he does not, or refuses to, recognize him for what he is; instead he looks for “scientific” explanations to explain away the obvious.
Has America been chosen as a scapegoat, a blood sacrifice of three hundred million souls who will be slain to usher in the rising of the New World Order?
Once this truth is understood, the obvious will be perceived, and truth will never be able to hide in plain sight again. The death of America in World War III was been planned long ago as the opening ceremony for the dawn of a New Age.
What Does the Future Hold?
The command to restore Jerusalem was issued in April of 1969, and the seven weeks prophecy of Daniel points to the birth of the man-child company, or the Messiah the Prince, in the fall of 2019.
“Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks” (Daniel 9:25).
The parable of the fig tree can be interpreted to forecast the great war no later than 2021.
The seventy-year reign of America Babylon would forecast the destruction of America in World War III perhaps as early as 2020 to 2021.
Jeremiah prophesied for twenty-three years, and then the judgment came upon Israel.
I was shown the judgment in 1996, when I was translated into the future to witness the violent persecution coming upon American Christians and the fall of 2019 will represent the twenty-third year of my testimony.
