How are we to respond to this information? In this author's view, there are three responses that the reader should make after reading this book. The first is that God's people can confidently the sufficiency and superiority of the Biblical narrative in explaining the world we live. The second is that God's people should disengage from Mystery Babylon in order to escape God's wrath that will be poured out on Mystery Babylon. The third is that God's people should disengage from Mystery Babylon so that the relationships in the family of God may flourish.
Proclaiming the gospel with confidence
The historical evidence that confirms the narrative of Mystery Babylon shows that the Biblical meta-narrative provides a superior explanation of reality. This is because the Bible is divinely inspired. The Lord both sees and declares the end from the beginning. The explanatory of the Mystery Babylon narrative is found in the divine origin of the prophecy.
Escaping God’s Wrath
Rev warns us to disengage from Mystery Babylon so that we might not suffer her plagues. The nations have become drunk in the wine of her fornication, meaning that they have believed her lies.
“…Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.
“And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Render to her just as she rendered to you] and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ 8 Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her” Revelation 18:2-8
Disengagement begins with rejecting her lies and refusing to be manipulated. We need to understand the real reasons behind movements in our culture rather than accept the slick spin put to things. For example, when people speak of church-state separation and a “secular society,” what they really mean is the promotion of a religion where the state is exalted as god on earth.* Many of the philosophies of Mystery Babylon are marketed as defenses of individual rights, but in reality are really statist schemes to displace one narrative with another.
Freudo-Marxists, for example, say they want government out of the bedroom and out of reproductive decisions. However, the intense of government-sponsored same-sex marriage and public funding of abortions indicates that they want the state excessively involved in abortion and sexual issues. We must see through the spin and speak truth to power.
God’s people must reject any confidence in groups perceived to be useful co-belligerents against Mystery Babylon. Many Evangelical Christians, for example, have affiliated with the Republican Party hoping to stop the Freudo-Marxist attack on Judeo-Christian Morality. The upper leadership of all groups that have a national or global profile has been infiltrated by Mystery Babylon. Instead of playing co-belligerent with other groups, we need to form our own network of communities Coming out from among her is but the first stage in the social re-orientation of God’s people.
Growing relationships in the Family of God
We are called to disengage from mystery Babylon with a promise. We are not called to be anti-social loners, but from one community into another.
“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.’ Therefore ‘Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.’ ” 2 Cor 6:14-18
The reader should note that this passage was not written to unbelievers, but to Christians – to people who already have a relationship with God. Yet the text speaks in future tense when it says “And I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.” Believer already have the position of Father-child relationship, but mingling with the idolatry of Mystery Babylon blocks the fellowship that flows from that relationship. We have forfeited many of the benefits of the relationship we have with God because we co-mingle with the abominations and philosophies of Mystery Babylon. In fact, the root sin of Mystery Babylon is forming deep connections with unbelievers, which the Bible calls “being unequally yoked”
There are three benefits to forsaking Mystery Babylon: The Revelation of God as our Father, our own revelation as children of God, and brotherly love connections with the sons and daughters of God.
The Revelation of God as our Father
Mystery Babylon advocates the worship of a different God than the God revealed in Scripture; therefore affection or submission to Mystery Babylon is idolatry. Idolatry is spiritual adultery according to Ezekiel 16 and Ezekiel 23. Lev 17:7 refers to it as playing the harlot before devils. The reason Christians sees little supernatural power is that their life is a cocktail of spiritual adultery. Spiritual adultery interferes with our relationship with God in the same way that physical adultery hinders the expression of love in an earthly marriage to a spouse. God is looking for a faithful individuals and a faithful people so that He can show Himself strong.
“ And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him: ‘Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the Lord your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand. ‘ Were the Ethiopians and the Lubim not a huge army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet, because you relied on the Lord, He delivered them into your hand.9 For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars.” 2 Chronicles 16:7-9
Asa’s sin was trusting in his affiliation with those who seem to have power rather than the Lord.The prophet reminded Asa of God's past faithfulness; God delivered Asa from an enemy stronger than the enemy Asa conquered through his alliance with Syria. Asa was judged as faithless. The judgement against Asa was that he would always have wars. What this meant was that God was not going to help him anymore.
In the midst of the prophecy of judgement, there is a promise revealed. The "eyes of the Lord" search the world looking for people with hearts that are faithful toward Him to show Himself strong on their behalf. Let us have a faith that is singularly focused on God.
Our own revelation as children of God
As God reveals Himself as our Father, His grace empowers us to behave as children of God. As the spirit of God works in our lives, then we begin to identify ourselves in relation to God rather than worldly things.
“Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech— unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. ” 2 Corinthians 3:12-18
As we focus on beholding God’s glory, we are transformed into the same glory – an exact, but created, image of the glory of God. The Israelites could not or would not behold the glory of the Lord, so their hearts were veiled. Idolatry with Mystery Babylon is also putting the veil over our hearts in refusing to behold the glory of God. We must arm our minds to see god as glorified –as the sovereign King of kings, Lord of Lords, and as the supernatural fountainhead of all wisdom, righteousness, and resources. We need to seek a supernatural relationship with God with all expectancy. There are many resources to assist in this. This author has some available at
Brotherly love connections with the sons and daughters of God
As we become increasingly enabled to act as children of God, there become both a growing awareness of the bond with other children of God and a desire to develop growing relationships with brothers and sisters in Christ. The New Testament commands believers to express brotherly love towards brothers and sisters in Christ.
The Internet provides many tools to facilitate community interaction. Many Christians are accustomed to using mainstream Websites as Facebook and Twitter. Because these and similar sites co-mingle with elements of Mystery Babylon, they are of limited use in social networking designed to help Christians flee Mystery Babylon to form Christian communities. It is incumbent on Christians to form their own social networks. There are just a few networks of which this author is aware.
ChristianNetGuide.com was established in 2012 by Dallas Carter, author of Mystery Babylon Rising. It is designed to facilitate Christian social networking per local area networking. Each user account is equipped with the ability to create pages that are indexed in a local directory and equipped with an interactive blog.
New Providence Entertainment creates movies from a Christian perspective. Their latest film, Jackson’s Run, is “a family friendly, faith-based, “Rites-of-Passage” story that explores life, death, suffering, and God’s purpose in it”181 More information can be found at http://jacksonsrunfilm.com/
The Good News and Final Word
Much of this book is performing a necessary service. Warning and educating people about Mystery Babylon, an evil, Satanic conspiracy. Much of this information is bad news. We are to rejoice. The last word on this is not bad news. We have the victory over Satan and all of his minions (Rev 12:7-11) If the historical analysis confirm the Biblical narrative, as the evidence presented in this book shows, then the Bible is correct when it predicts the rise of the New World Order. If the Bible is correct about the rise of the New World Order, it is also correct about the end of the story, which is the fall of the New World Order and the blessed return of Jesus Christ to rule and reign on earth from Jerusalem, dispensing unfathomable blessing on the objects of His great love and annihilating all evil once and for all. More on this blessed program in my next book.
