00:00.680 --> 00:01.920
Who is Mystery Babylon?

00:02.580 --> 00:07.640
A lot of people have written books about
America, even Islam, being Mystery

00:07.640 --> 00:09.980
Babylon, of the book of Revelation.

00:10.780 --> 00:15.260
Did you know that God told us exactly who
Mystery Babylon is?

00:16.220 --> 00:18.340
He literally gave us a checklist!

00:19.600 --> 00:20.780
Would you like to see for yourself?

00:21.260 --> 00:23.840
Hi, I'm David Daniels from Chick
Publications.

00:24.380 --> 00:28.520
See, when God tells us a mystery,
we can be sure of two things.

00:28.520 --> 00:30.960
One, God knows all about it.

00:31.240 --> 00:34.680
And two, we won't know about it without
Him.

00:35.980 --> 00:43.040
Mysteries are what Jesus called the
parables, when He interpreted them clearly

00:43.040 --> 00:44.160
for His disciples.

00:44.740 --> 00:52.000
Here, Matthew 13, 11, Jesus answered and
said unto them, Because it is given unto

00:52.000 --> 00:58.740
you to know the mysteries of the kingdom
of heaven, but to them it is not given.

01:00.020 --> 01:07.220
So parables were spoken to keep stuff
hidden from closed-hearted people.

01:07.480 --> 01:13.260
But mysteries of the kingdom of heaven,
those are God's secrets revealed,

01:14.100 --> 01:16.520
as much as the faithful are able to bear.

01:17.740 --> 01:21.700
God has already known, and always known,
everything.

01:21.700 --> 01:27.640
So God can talk about things as already
completed, even when they aren't for us.

01:29.680 --> 01:37.560
In Romans 4, verse 17, it says,
17 God, who quickeneth the dead,

01:38.020 --> 01:43.200
and calleth those things which be not,
as though they were.

01:44.340 --> 01:50.720
That's why in Genesis 17, verse 5,
God said to Abraham, A father of many

01:50.720 --> 01:54.280
nations have I made thee, when he only had
Ishmael.

01:56.100 --> 02:02.820
In the same way, God talks about the whore
of Babylon as a fully established reality.

02:04.080 --> 02:08.180
All we see is one piece at a time.

02:08.480 --> 02:14.620
But God sees the completed puzzle,
and He tells us about that completed

02:14.620 --> 02:15.080
puzzle.

02:15.900 --> 02:21.340
Would you like to see what 8 of the pieces
are, according to Revelation 17 and 18?

02:21.800 --> 02:23.820
Here is a very simple list.

02:24.880 --> 02:30.060
If you want a more detailed answer,
look at chapter 16, of Why They Changed

02:30.060 --> 02:30.800
the Bible.

02:31.280 --> 02:36.500
I've arranged the fulfillments in
historical order, so that you can see the

02:36.500 --> 02:36.880
development.

02:39.000 --> 02:39.680
1.

02:39.680 --> 02:44.240
Seven mountains, and here is the mind
which hath wisdom.

02:44.240 --> 02:50.060
The seven heads are seven mountains,
on which the woman sitteth.

02:50.680 --> 02:56.820
In the 300s BC, the Serbian wall was built
as a defensive wall around seven hills,

02:57.280 --> 03:04.560
the Aventine, Caelian, Capitoline,
Esquiline, Palatine, Quirinal,

03:04.880 --> 03:05.660
and Viminal.

03:06.240 --> 03:08.440
These became the seven hills of Rome.

03:08.880 --> 03:11.660
So Rome was called the city on seven
hills.

03:12.460 --> 03:12.920
2.

03:13.640 --> 03:16.000
Purple, scarlet, and gold.

03:16.760 --> 03:18.780
Revelation 17, 4.

03:19.480 --> 03:25.520
And the woman was arrayed in purple and
scarlet color, and decked with gold and

03:25.520 --> 03:27.600
precious stones and pearls.

03:28.100 --> 03:38.500
February 15, 44 BC, Julius Caesar wore an
expensive purple and gold toga to the

03:38.500 --> 03:40.960
Feast of Pan, called Lupercalia.

03:41.540 --> 03:48.060
After this, all Caesars started wearing
that expensive purple as a symbol of

03:48.060 --> 03:50.420
royalty, and scarlet and gold.

03:50.740 --> 03:56.800
This continued right down into the Roman
Catholic clergy, becoming commonplace in

03:56.800 --> 03:59.060
500 AD.

03:59.480 --> 04:03.200
But nobody dressed better than the Pope.

04:08.170 --> 04:11.430
Purple, scarlet, and gold.

04:13.150 --> 04:13.930
3.

04:15.050 --> 04:17.670
Religion declares itself mother.

04:18.150 --> 04:19.650
Revelation 17, 5.

04:19.970 --> 04:26.650
And upon her forehead was a name written,
Mystery Babylon the Great, the mother of

04:26.650 --> 04:29.230
harlots and abominations of the earth.

04:30.010 --> 04:37.090
251 AD, Cyprian of Carthage declared in De
Unitate Ecclesiae, the unity of the

04:37.090 --> 04:44.990
church, "...he cannot have God for his
father, who does not have the church for

04:44.990 --> 04:49.990
his mother." The religion of Roman
Catholicism, after that, took on the name,

04:50.390 --> 04:51.710
Mother Church.

04:53.270 --> 04:54.450
431 AD,

05:00.100 --> 05:07.040
at the Council of Ephesus, where they once
cried for two hours, Great is Diana of the

05:07.040 --> 05:17.140
Ephesians, Acts 19.34, they now exalted
Mary as the Theotokos, the bearer of God,

05:17.200 --> 05:18.420
or the mother of God.

05:18.920 --> 05:25.180
And often, becoming Roman Catholic is said
to be coming home to Mother Church,

05:25.280 --> 05:27.140
or coming home to Mary.

05:27.660 --> 05:28.660
I have some books on that.

05:29.320 --> 05:34.300
Revelation 18, 7, the whore of Babylon
says, I sit as a queen.

05:34.300 --> 05:39.360
Is it any coincidence that the Catholic
Mary is also called the Queen of Heaven?

05:41.420 --> 05:42.020
4.

05:43.000 --> 05:50.600
Her seat on one of the seven mountains,
Revelation 17, 9, And here is the mind

05:50.600 --> 05:51.400
which hath wisdom.

05:52.460 --> 05:57.420
The seven heads are seven mountains,
on which the woman sitteth.

05:58.400 --> 06:01.280
Vatican Hill is not one of the seven hills
of Rome.

06:01.280 --> 06:04.640
But listen to this.

06:04.980 --> 06:13.380
In 313 AD, Constantine gave the Lateran
Palace on Caelian Hill to the Bishop of

06:13.380 --> 06:13.640
Rome.

06:13.820 --> 06:19.280
It became, and still is, the
ecclesiastical seat of the Bishop of Rome,

06:19.460 --> 06:19.980
the Pope.

06:21.720 --> 06:23.240
And that's not all.

06:25.020 --> 06:30.880
324 AD, the first basilica was built,
called St. John Lateran.

06:31.140 --> 06:36.100
In it is a throne, called the cathedra,
which is a seat or a chair with arms,

06:37.040 --> 06:38.360
for the Pope.

06:39.800 --> 06:40.240
5.

06:42.260 --> 06:46.360
Drunk with the blood of the saints,
Revelation 17, 6, And I saw the woman

06:46.360 --> 06:50.860
drunken with the blood of the saints,
and with the blood of the martyrs of

06:50.860 --> 06:51.120
Jesus.

06:51.260 --> 06:53.960
And when I saw her, I wondered with great
admiration.

06:54.680 --> 06:56.860
Look at this list here, right here.

06:56.860 --> 07:01.540
1184 AD, the Senator Verona says you can
burn heretics at the stake.

07:02.100 --> 07:07.320
1215 AD, starting at that fourth Lateran
Council, the Inquisition was formed.

07:07.880 --> 07:13.000
After that, does anyone want to dispute
the millions of victims tortured and

07:13.000 --> 07:17.860
killed in the name of the Pope,
the Mary Goddess, and the Eucharist wafer,

07:18.800 --> 07:21.060
even if the killings weren't done at Rome?

07:21.600 --> 07:23.700
Roman Catholicism was responsible.

07:23.960 --> 07:26.980
This chart, by the way, comes from did the
Catholic Church give us the Bible?

07:27.640 --> 07:33.860
Truly she was power man, drunk with the
blood of the saints.

07:36.440 --> 07:43.120
Revelation 18, 24, And in her was found
the blood of prophets and of saints,

07:43.520 --> 07:47.120
and of all that were slain upon the earth.

07:47.540 --> 07:48.740
That's five so far.

07:48.820 --> 07:52.380
Can you think of anyone else that would be
batting 1,000 at this point?

07:52.380 --> 07:53.000
6.

07:53.900 --> 07:58.360
A city that reigns over the kings of the
earth, and the woman which thou sawest is

07:58.360 --> 08:02.500
that great city which reigneth over the
kings of the earth.

08:03.140 --> 08:04.300
Walk with me on this.

08:04.680 --> 08:10.500
Unum Sanctum, 1302, Pope Boniface VIII
came up with the ex-cathedra doctrine,

08:10.900 --> 08:18.180
that means it's authoritative,
of the two swords, the spiritual sword and

08:18.180 --> 08:22.220
the temporal or terrestrial sword,
human government, that is.

08:22.380 --> 08:29.120
Boniface VIII, the pope, declared,
In this church, and in its power are two

08:29.120 --> 08:34.500
swords, namely the spiritual and the
temporal, both therefore are in the power

08:34.500 --> 08:35.980
of the church.

08:37.140 --> 08:39.520
Then he said the church was the highest
power of all.

08:40.600 --> 08:48.220
If the highest power of all err,
it can be judged only by God, and not by

08:48.220 --> 08:48.680
man.

08:49.420 --> 08:55.060
What he is saying is that the pope of Rome
has dominion over all the governments of

08:55.060 --> 08:58.880
the world, and is responsible only to God.

09:02.040 --> 09:08.620
February 11, 1929, the signing of the
Lateran Accords declared Vatican City as a

09:08.620 --> 09:14.660
sovereign city-state, so that it was both
a city and a country, with its ruler,

09:14.820 --> 09:16.180
the bishop of Rome, the pope.

09:16.180 --> 09:23.440
And it's called a sacerdotal monarchical
city, because it is both a religious body,

09:23.640 --> 09:25.980
and it has a single ruler over it.

09:26.660 --> 09:34.280
So since 1929, most countries of the world
have come to the Vatican to have a private

09:34.280 --> 09:35.580
audience with the pope.

09:36.100 --> 09:40.300
And Rome, of course, has its ambassadors
to most of the nations of the world.

09:40.740 --> 09:46.460
Can anyone deny the massive influence of
Rome in world politics?

09:47.840 --> 09:48.680
Think about this.

09:48.980 --> 09:51.060
If the government does not please the
pope...

09:51.060 --> 09:52.380
There's a bunch of ambassadors.

09:52.600 --> 09:53.140
Take a look at that.

09:53.300 --> 09:57.420
If the government does not please the
pope, the pope can then tell all his

09:57.420 --> 09:59.500
followers not to obey that government.

10:00.100 --> 10:02.720
And a government does not work without the
people.

10:03.440 --> 10:08.780
So world leaders listen to the leader of
the largest religion of the world.

10:10.100 --> 10:14.140
That's to say nothing about the centuries
of the anything-but-holy Roman Empire,

10:14.760 --> 10:19.900
and all the kings who either gained power
or lost it, because of the pope's word.

10:21.200 --> 10:26.840
And now, since 1929, it is a city and a
country.

10:27.480 --> 10:28.480
Number 7.

10:29.340 --> 10:31.460
Nations fornicating with the whore.

10:32.020 --> 10:36.700
Revelation 18 3 For all nations have drunk
of the wine of the wrath of her

10:36.700 --> 10:40.800
fornication, and the kings of the earth
have committed fornication with her.

10:42.160 --> 10:47.880
All of Revelation 18 describes the amazing
wealth and trade with nations of the

10:47.880 --> 10:48.240
earth.

10:48.600 --> 10:52.880
People make nice with the whore,
get drunk with her, and then they let her

10:52.880 --> 10:56.120
pour out her wrath on the saints.

10:57.220 --> 11:01.960
After all, the only people going against
the whore of Babylon are the saints.

11:03.740 --> 11:08.340
Pope Francis I just said that the only
people who are causing the troubles of the

11:08.340 --> 11:09.880
world are fundamentalists.

11:11.610 --> 11:14.540
You know, Bible believers.

11:17.320 --> 11:18.480
Number 8.

11:18.800 --> 11:20.220
This is the last one.

11:20.440 --> 11:22.440
Amazing wealth and trade.

11:23.340 --> 11:31.320
Revelation 18 3 The merchants of the earth
are waxed rich through the abundance of

11:31.320 --> 11:32.240
her delicacies.

11:32.660 --> 11:38.780
I used to have a problem with Revelation
18, until a friend said that was what

11:38.780 --> 11:39.720
clinched it for him.

11:40.800 --> 11:42.600
Look at all the items listed.

11:43.200 --> 11:47.980
Right there are what the Catholic Church
buys to make its idols, and buildings,

11:48.220 --> 11:48.960
and clothing.

11:50.480 --> 11:55.660
Donna Eubanks, a former Sister Superior
who became a Christian, once showed a

11:55.660 --> 11:58.900
Catholic catalog of religious supplies.

11:59.620 --> 12:04.580
Crucifixes, idols, prayer beads,
all this stuff was made out of,

12:05.680 --> 12:10.180
it was all made out of what Mystery
Babylon got rich off of.

12:10.180 --> 12:13.560
Everything was made out of ivory,
precious woods, stones, gold, silver.

12:13.880 --> 12:15.520
That's what she sells.

12:15.680 --> 12:19.180
And of course, the souls of men.

12:21.380 --> 12:22.760
Think about these people.

12:25.930 --> 12:29.870
Their souls are very valuable to God.

12:31.170 --> 12:33.630
The precious Roman Catholics need the
Word.

12:39.420 --> 12:45.820
I've just listed 8 separate points in
Revelation 17 and 18 that are clearly true

12:45.820 --> 12:47.360
about Roman Catholicism.

12:48.180 --> 12:52.440
I arranged them in chronological,
historical order for you.

12:52.560 --> 12:54.380
You can check every single one of them
yourself.

12:55.000 --> 12:58.840
Look, send this video to your friends,
and ask them, is there anybody else who

12:58.840 --> 13:00.500
fulfills all of these?

13:01.360 --> 13:07.240
God knew all of this, and gave us a heads
up in the book of Revelation, in two

13:07.240 --> 13:07.720
chapters.

13:08.100 --> 13:10.600
He told us what to look for before the
end.

13:11.560 --> 13:15.580
Mystery Babylon has mostly taken shape.

13:18.000 --> 13:20.200
But something else still must occur.

13:20.980 --> 13:27.700
Matthew 24 14 And this gospel of the
kingdom shall be preached in all the world

13:27.700 --> 13:32.880
for a witness unto all nations,
and then shall the end come.

13:35.180 --> 13:38.920
You need God's holy and preserved words to
counter this whore.

13:39.820 --> 13:46.600
By the way, what is the one Bible that
Rome hates above all?

13:47.780 --> 13:49.160
The King James Bible.

13:50.840 --> 13:53.400
Quite an endorsement, isn't it?

13:54.300 --> 13:56.680
God bless you, and have a wonderful day.
