Ten ‘10’ Denotes God’s divine ‘COMPLETENESS’ as to things on EARTH. In Revelation 10, he is opening up the ancient scrolls and ‘little book’ of prophecy that Daniel was told to ‘SEAL UP’ and not write of what was spoken. He was prophetically being told additional things that would transpire or occur ‘in the end of days’ and during the 7 year ‘tribulation.
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the ‘time of the end’: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the ‘time of the end’.
‘Time of the End’:
Revelation ‘10’ And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
2 And he had in his hand a ‘little book open’: (NWN; Daniels ‘little book’ is now being opened by God’s Great Angel of Prophecy) and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven ‘7’ thunders uttered their voices.
(NWN; I ‘discern’ that these are seven ‘7’ other great prophecy angels who are ‘confirming’ that NOW IS THE TIME to OPEN DANIEL’S ‘END TIME’ Book of Future Prophecy.’)
4 And when the seven ‘7’ thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven ‘7’ thunders uttered, and write them not.
5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
(NWN; The Great Prophecy Angel is proclaiming the ‘LAST DAYS or END TIMES’ have come, in no uncertain terms, and that NOW IS THE TIME to reveal prophecy related TO the Last Days or End Times and Tribulation.)
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh ‘7’ angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
(NWN; Seven ‘7’ denotes God’s divine completion to his plan or purpose for this ‘7th’ prophecy angel to commence and complete prophecy related to the Last Days and End Times. Think of the Great Prophecy Angel as a ‘General’ and the ‘7th’ prophecy angel as a Major or Colonel or someone of rank who has been given authority to physically ‘begin something or start something.’)
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open (NWN; notice that the ‘little book’ is OPEN) in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
(NWN; the prophecy angel(s) are HANDING the little book to physically alive men on the earth. In essence, they are handing or ‘transferring’ the ‘little book of prophecy’ to physical men ALIVE on the EARTH during the ‘End Times’ or ‘Last Days.’ God conveys prophecy to Angels who in turn are ‘messengers’ of God’s prophecy to mortal men alive. Angels, throughout the past 6,000 years have been ‘messengers’ for God to mankind.)
9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
(NWN; this is a ‘discernment’ on my part. ‘Take it and eat it’ is a spiritual ‘consumption’ of understanding the End Times and God’s related prophecies to go along with ‘signs of the times.’ It takes ‘7’ knowledge, wisdom, obedience, humility, persistence, prayer and the Holy Spirit’ to work prophecy in man’kind. This is a great and wonderful thing, just like a ‘7’ course meal. However, once the prophecies are apparent ‘consumed and understood’ they will be prone to make one sick to the stomach because of what they foretell. Just like eating a ’7’ course meal will likely make you feel like you could explode. God’s UNFILTERD WRATH poured on evil man’kind who refuse Him, and refuse His Son Jesus Christ and His eternal offer of salvation. Seeing prophecy happen and unfold is a wonderful and miraculous thing. Understanding the implications of seeing prophecy unfold, leaves one’s stomach bitter and sour because of the ‘gastrointestinal storm’ that is coming. Pass-the-antacid-pills, please.)
10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
(NWN; the prophecy angel was prophesying what would happen to anyone who attempted to reveal what was in the ‘little book.’ This verse ‘confirms’ that what was prophesied, did in fact occur and was experienced by those given the task of being Watchmen. This also ‘suggests’ that some men are ‘willingly’ allowing themselves to be Watchmen because they consciously love prophecy (God’s Word) and are completely open and receptive to it.)
11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
(NWN; since this is verse ‘11’ it suggests a WARNING(S). The purpose of prophecy is to inform, proclaim and WARN. It suggests that the Watchmen who proclaim the Word of God, will have their ‘7’ words, letters, videos, blogs, sermons, articles and books proclaim God’s WILL to those during the End Times / Last Days and Tribulation period. God has ALWAYS used Holy Angels and physical men (Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Enoch, and others) to speak on behalf of God. He will do this also through the Tribulation via; 1. Prophecy revealed to mankind via his ‘little book’ to Watchmen, 2. The ‘two witnesses’, ‘lampstands’ or candles who proclaims God’s light to the world for the first 3.5 years of the tribulation, 3. The various Angel warnings given to men to NOT TAKE THE MARK of the BEAST and lastly, 4. The 144,000 Jewish Evangelists who have the ‘seal of God’ in their foreheads (and NOT the mark of the Beast) who proclaim Jesus Christ’s offer of Salvation ONE LAST TIME, before the 7 year tribulation ends.)
Acts 2:17-21 And it shall come to pass ‘in the last days’, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
Joel 2:28-29 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids ‘in those days’
BABYLON IS NOT ANY OF THE GREAT CITIES OF TODAY. IT IS THE ‘GREAT CITY’, ‘GREAT WHORE’, ‘MOTHER OF HARLOTS’ BEING BUILT NOW. REDEMPTION IS PENDING. NEOM BABYLON is not Mecca, not Rome, not Vatican City.
‘7’ Paul Rolland, Night Watchman, Night Watchman Ministries:
Babylon is NEOM, not Mecca, not Rome, not Vatican City
When presenting a multitude of biblical evidence, people still angrily deny it because they etched in their minds a verse or two they say prove its still Rome while adhering to a centuries-old theory initiated by Martin Luther. When it comes to the destruction of end-days Babylon, Scripture makes no mention of any of the ancient Babylonian cities – Nineveh, Ur, Babel, Erech, Accad, Sumer, Assur, Calneh, Mari, Karana, Ellpi, Eridu, Kish, or Tikrit. Rather, all the literal references in Scripture are in Arabia. The use ‘MOTHER OF HARLOTS,’ history records that the worship of Ishtar ‘Kilili,’ or ‘Queen of Harlots’” originated from Arabia, [Patricia Turner and Charles Russell Coulter, Dictionary of Ancient Deities, page 242, Ishtar, Oxford University Press US, 2001].
Mecca is an extremist, Islamic stronghold. No foreigners, non-Muslims are not allowed. It is not an economic stronghold. It is not committed to world commerce or trade by sea. Mecca is dedicated and committed to being an Islamic holy site, not a world capital or major trading center. Other faiths (other parts of the mystery religion) cannot be practiced in Islam’s backyard. Mecca is still subject to Saudi Arabia’s sovereign laws and religious laws. Mecca is home for the world’s Muslims, but not the home that will become the melting pot of acceptance for all world religions, false doctrines, idol worship and human deification. However, Islam is part of the mystery religion and will be tolerated by the beast/false profit and practiced in Mecca. The beast/false prophet will allow Islam to be practiced worldwide, but also along with all other forms of false world religions. The beast/false prophet will also allow traditional Judaism to be practiced by Jews in their rebuilt temple. He even allows Jews to practice animal sacrifices for sacrificial atonement of their sins. The Jews have placed their faith in the ‘man-of-sin’, the ‘perfection of deception’, the beast, the antichrist. True worship of Jesus Christ (Christianity) will NOT be practiced or tolerated. Christians who bear witness of the gospel of Jesus Christ will eventually be martyred by beheading, (proselytizing is prohibited). Mystery Religion Babylon will only be accepted for the first 3 ½ years of the Tribulation.
Then we have the Red Sea: “The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red Sea” (Jeremiah 49:21). The Red Sea is a geographic indicator as to where the last-days Babylon will be located. Babylon NEOM is being pitched as the ‘great’ city on the Red Sea. Mecca does not meet this test.
Babylon City is not Rome (or Vatican City) or Mecca:
Rome, as a city in Italy, can’t be described in a way that equates with the new (future) Babylon as stated in Revelation. There are seven hills that the city is built on, but they are not mountains. Rome is not, nor will be a future economic powerhouse. Its infrastructure does not allow for the scale of existence that is described in Revelation. I have never been to Rome (let alone Italy). But from pictures, I believe Rome to be a beautiful city with glorious architecture and exquisite artisanship. However, its glory is past and reflects the past Roman Empire. The Bible states that the antichrist will gain the political allegiance and military power of a ten nation confederacy that comes out of or from the past Roman Empire in the European region, however, the Bible does NOT say that the seat (capital) of the beast will be in the ten nation revived Roman empire confederacy.
Vatican City is home to the false, religious doctrine (as it is being promoted today) of Catholicism. It is another ‘ism’ that makes up the evil soup of Mystery Religion of Babylon. I believe that at one time, the Vatican may have sincerely attempted (I’m giving it the benefit of a doubt) to represent Christ (in an extremely challenged and distorted way). However, Satan has influenced this church into evolving into something that does not truly represent Christ and that which makes a mockery of Him. The current head prophet or leader has done a terrific job of deifying AND crowning ‘Mary’ as the Queen of Heaven and worthy or worship. Looks like, sounds like and smells like idol worship and blasphemy. Ponder this thought, Semiramis (Nimord’s wife) deified and crowned herself as Queen of Heaven under Paganism. Just replace Semiramis with ‘Mary’ and you get the same blasphemous effect. If the Vatican is pitching the worship and deification of ‘Mary’ over Christ, then the faithful are being deceived with a twisted, deceiving form of Paganistic Christianity. Which of the seven (7) churches in Asia-Minor does this sound like? Revelation chapters 2-3. The Vatican has ALWAYS worshipped power, influence and wealth. Some estimates have the Vatican owning more wealth than any of the biggest global companies on earth. Does the Vatican really need the widow’s mite from an old woman in some third world country? No. The politics of this priesthood has always been about power and influence over people of the world. Today’s leader spends more time conferring with world leaders, the United Nations and power brokers over political policy and political solutions than serving to the needs of the sexually abused caused at the hands of his evil priests. Vatican City is NOT Babylon Future. Satan has already turned it into a blasphemous heap of sin. My criticism is aimed at those at the top of the Catholic system that would deceive people all over the world. Depending on how closely one follows a head priest’s theology and systemic laws, will determine how closely one is lead astray or not. In Vatican City (or Mecca for that matter), Satan doesn’t need to do anymore, he has already accomplished what he set out to do. Or, is there something more that Satan needs to come out of Vatican City, besides blasphemous doctrine and idol worship (false prophet)?
Vatican City is its own entity within a city, within a country. Likewise, Mecca is an Islamic religious center within a country, within a region. At its essence, Mecca serves basically the same purpose to Islamic peoples as does Vatican City to Catholic peoples. Both serve up man-made doctrine, man-made laws and man-made theology and are a blasphemously deceptive focal point. Self-righteousness and piety are served up daily (by both). False doctrine is on the menu. And it doesn’t come at a cheap price. The faithful are expected to pay (give) handsomely. Catholic people from around the world travel to Vatican City to behold its glory and magnificence, and to marvel at its head priest. They love to witness the ‘big throne.’ Why was it made and who is supposed to be sitting on it? Or is it nothing more than an extremely expensive piece of gaudy looking furniture that poor people around the world had to pay for? The same can be said for Mecca and its black rock. Satan already has his grasp over both cities and both religions. He has been successful. This is not something new. The traditions of both Catholicism and Islam run deep into hell, in both of these cities. Satan does not need this to change. He has already accomplished what he wanted to do in both of these religions and cities.
Radical Islam will NEVER allow anyone or anything to set foot in Mecca. Satan wants these countries to have their exclusive blasphemous theology unto themselves. Catholicism serves Satan’s same purpose in countries of the West. This will not change. It doesn’t need to change. Satan is delighted that everyone is chasing a mystery religion of their own which he has uniquely crafted for them. Satan is successfully splitting the world up into many mystery religions, all of which are intended to distract men from ever knowing the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Everyone is reading from a different book, but each book is written from the same author. Mecca, in no way shape or form, could ever be converted into a worldwide powerhouse or economic hub or have a technological presence that the world could marvel at. Yes, it is true that Mecca sits in a mountain range, is in the Middle East and near the Red Sea. So it can be said the same for NEOM Babylon (Future). As with Rome and Vatican City, will people from all religious faiths around the world flock to and trample around in Mecca? To worship? To do commerce? To build a glorious, future, technological marvel? Would Mecca allow a city wide chain of western movie theaters as NEOM promises? Is there enough open land for a massive construction and enlargement of Mecca? Would the world’s Radical Islamic leaders ever approve of such a thing as having the world trample under foot their most ‘holiest’ of temples? Through their political ideology and war/terror mongering, once proud Islamic countries (Iran) have run themselves economically into the ground. They don’t control enough funds to feed their people, let alone invest in the pipedream of a young whipper-snapper of a Saudi Prince. Many of the more radical Islamic countries are at odds with the young prince of Saudi Arabia and his vision of a more moderate Islam. Iran is specifically at odds with Saudi Arabia. Surprise, surprise! One version of Islam doesn’t like the other version of Islam (Sunni vs Shiite). The wise prince knows radical Islam should not be the future course of his country. Satan doesn’t need to change anything in Mecca. Its evil perfection is perfectly evil as it is. He has achieved the same purpose with Mecca as he has with Vatican City. The two cities and religions mirror one another. Evil looking at itself in the mirror is still evil. Both are ugly and sickening and blasphemous.
Saudi Arabia’s prince distinctively knows what he is up against. He is a sharp, intelligent, worldly young (millennial) man. This is why he wants to pursue a more moderate version of Islam in an entirely new city that does not have the historical burdens and ugliness of radical Islam. Islam has a bad reputation worldwide, even though the media says otherwise and markets it as a religion of ‘peace’. It is not a religion of ‘peace, but the absolute, complete opposite. What billionaire investor would want to invest a couple $ billion into building where radical Islam and terrorists have a stronghold? Nowhere! Anywhere having extreme, radical Islamic laws will be a significant deterrent to any significant foreign investment. The Prince, wisely knows this. An entirely new, glorious city (with its own government, acceptance of other faiths, laws, etc.) within a country, within a region is a strategic way of bypassing the obstacle of radical Islam in the region. The prince will still be in control of his country AND his country will benefit from the taxation of NEOM and it will be a step forward in the diversification of his country’s overall economy. This is a win, win, and win for everyone, so the thinking goes. All this progress from just creating a mega city in a small corner of the country that the old guard radical Islamic clerics can’t get their hands on. Brilliant. Economics dictate the prince’s hand. Oil prices and revenue for the kingdom is way down. Arabia’s economy (revenue) is almost 100% dependent on the price of oil. As goes oil, so goes the kingdom. Live by the sword, die by the sword. Live by oil, die by oil. For the future, Saudi Arabia HAS to diversify its economy. This has been, and is, a challenge for many countries and cities around the world today. The effort of adapting to changing global economic pressures that require replacing old industries and technologies that die off. Consider the old steel towns around the U.S. that quickly grew during the days of the steel boom. When the steel boom died (or global economies of steel production changed), steel mills closed and the cities built around them suffered greatly and in some cases are still suffering. Every city struggles to replace that which they were dependent on, with something new. Saudi Arabia is no different than anywhere else in the world. They have to live by the same economic laws as everyone else. NEOM Babylon is one of the prince’s strategies to counter his country’s reliance on oil. NEOM is a gamble that the prince has to make. He has no other choice. Properly packaged, endorsed and sold worldwide, NEOM will be a fantastic success in the future. It will be a modern marvel. It will be a “great city.” The Bible says so, numerous times in the book of Revelation. We are told that Satan (until the Day of the Lord) is the god of this world and influences the glory of nations, countries and cities. He also controls the wealth of the planet. Consider Satan’s temptation of Christ in the desert with the kingdoms of the world, Matthew 4:8-10.
Historically, Vatican City and Mecca have continuously been contemplated as the future Babylon of Revelation. Rightly so, both Vatican City and Mecca appear, on the surface, as likely candidates as future Babylon. However, just as there are many past world dictators (Caesar, Nero, Nimrod, Hitler, etc.) who have been thought of being the antichrist, Vatican City and Mecca are false positives. What is a false positive? It is a testing term that suggests that something that looks like, sounds like, smells like something it is supposed to be … but it’s not. It’s a medical term used when discerning the outcome of a medical testing procedure. Without the proper discernment by the doctor or technician who is reading the test results, the test can be misinterpreted and the wrong outcome determined. This is not to say that the doctor or the technician is bad or read the test wrong on purpose. It just means that there was a problem interpreting the test results at the time. It could also mean that there wasn’t enough information available, at the time the test was done, to make a proper assessment. In extreme medical cases, usually as more information becomes available from different tests, eventually the false positives go away and give way to a correct or better assessment of the problem. I am only spending a little time in discussing this because many excellent giants in eschatology have come before me. Given what was known at the time, and in the past, I would agree with them. At best, you can only understand that which you know. That which lies outside of what is known, is speculation. I don’t believe anyone was/is speculating, but doing their best in discerning which was known at that particular point in time.
It is only very, very recently, since the end of 2017 (seven months ago as I write this), that Babylon NEOM has jumped on the world scene and is quickly gaining the attention of the billionaires and the technology wizards of the world. NEOM was introduced to the world EXACTLY one month after the Revelation 12:1 sign physically occurred over the earth on September 24, 2017. This is an astrological fact. These are the ‘Nimrodian’ architects, planners and investors of the future Tower of Babel. Through the worldwide common language of big, big, big money and deceiving technology, Satan thinks he has overcome the limitations of different languages that occurred in antiquity past. NEOM is not a mistake or false positive. NEOM Babylon Future meets too many of the eschatalogical litmus tests, not to be Revelation’s Babylon Future. Just as NEOM popped up yesterday, the Bible also indicates that the antichrist will pop us suddenly not be revealed until the proper time (after the rapture of the true Church, Bride of Christ). Satan will not waste a second of time in drawing the world’s attention to his puppet of sin in the flesh, the ‘perfection of deception’, the beast, the antichrist. The beast/antichrist will pop onto the world scene quickly and unexpectedly, just as NEOM Babylon is doing. The antichrist is the false positive of Christ. He looks like a savior, talks like savior, acts like a savior, says he is the savior … except he is not. Only Jesus Christ is the Savior, through the forgiveness of sins, the shedding of his blood and through his resurrection. No other man made religion addresses sin or the need for salvation. This is why the Mystery Religion of Babylon (NEOM) will be so popular and accepted. No one will suggest that man is sinful, no one will suggest that man needs Christ, everyone will suggest that its ok to be like you are, keep doing what you are doing, worship who or whatever you want to worship, to ignore the ‘fable’ of Christ, etc. Do as though wilt or as thou pleases. That is why God sends his two supernatural witnesses into the world for the first 3 ½ years of the Tribulation. Any meaningful representation of Christ and the gospel is gone missing from the earth. The true Church, Bride of Christ is gone missing, nowhere to be found on earth. Men will be following their own devices and whims. An infamous Satanist once said, “Do as thou wilst.”
This attitude is at the very core of every false religion, doctrine, system of worship worldwide. It is at the core of Satan’s rebellion against God. Satan wants to be God. He wants to rise up above God. Satan gives this attitude to men, so they will rebel against God and never come to the understanding of their need for salvation through Jesus Christ. Men have always wanted to be their own masters, beholden to no one, able to form their own truth or relativism. Men want to be their own gods and govern over their own creations. Men want to delight in their own creations. God is not impressed by men’s creations. They are literally ‘scribbles in the sand’. Quickly washed away with the next tide. This is instinctive to men, this is their nature … this is sin. There is that word again, sin, no one wants to hear it or to even have it suggested that is applies to them (or me or you). Through big money, advanced technology and the mystery religion of the coalescing of the world’s religions, the promotion of sin will be at its zenith in NEOM Babylon Future. It is just starting, it has already been conceived and will grow to enormous proportions. How is that for an investment forecast for future returns? Men will grow rich by reason of her costliness (Rev. 18:19). The billionaires and investment fund managers of the world are starting to trip over each other to get on the NEOM bandwagon to hell. God has the last laugh. The entire chapter eighteen (18) of Revelation describes the complete and total destruction of NEOM Babylon in just one hour. So much for the billions and billions ($500 billion estimated) of dollars of investment. All gone in a flash, in an hour. Poof! Bye-Bye! Up in smoke! Literally. “And they cried when they saw the smoke of her burning.” (Rev. 18:18). Any grown man (or woman), who has invested billions into any startup venture, will literally cry when they realize their investment has disappeared instantly. Yeah…but? During the great depression in the U.S. during the 1930s, men who lost fortunes during the stock market crash, literally jumped out of windows of their banks or investment houses, to their death, when they learned the value of their investments were zero, nada, zilch, nothing. Back in the 1930s, we were talking about millions. In NEOM, we are literally talking about billions. Poor, poor billionaires. So materialistically rich, yet spiritually bankrupt. (Rev. 3:17) … “Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor and blind, and naked:” The rich and super, mega rich invest their money in the kingdom and cities of Satan, instead of in the kingdom of heaven of God and Jesus Christ. This is physically, literally and spiritually true. Through the Holy Spirit, God’s word to John the Apostle, addresses this issue many times throughout the Bible’s book known as the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
Babylon Future is not Rome, it is not Vatican City and it is not Mecca. It is also not New York, London, Paris, Moscow, Hong Kong, Berlin, Beijing, Delhi, Dubai or any of the other great cities of the world. These are all ‘wannabees’ or false positives. Something great (evil) can be said of all of them. After all, they are under Satan’s control. NEOM Babylon Future is also under Satan’s control. The promise of a new city, glorifying technology and evil, in the sands and mountains of Saudi Arabia! This sounds like of the promise and marketing pitch of the Tower of Babel, all over again. Anyone want to place their bets or make an investment in this venture? … I thought so. Anyone want to make their eternal bet in their eternal future with the eternal King of Kings or Lord of Lords in the eternal city of New Jerusalem? … I pray and hope so. The Bible says I can expect a better return on my investment in the kingdom of heaven (my acceptance of Christ’s forgiveness of my sins, through the shedding of his blood and resurrection) than what I could ever expect from my billion dollar investment in NEOM Babylon Future. The ironic (and true) feature of Christ’s offer of salvation is that it is FREE! It doesn’t cost a widow’s mite, a dollar or even a billion (or two) dollar investment. Christ gives us the seed money, or investment principal FREELY! We just have to accept his offer, believe in him and trust in him. He wants to save us from our sin (do as thou wilst until you kill yourself). He doesn’t force us to take the investment, we can accept the investment freely of our own free will. He does not jam the decision down our throats. You have to make the decision of your own free choice. Take the free offer, while it is still valid and being offered. Decisions have a shelf life, eventually we run out of time to make a decision or the offer is rescinded. Our days and time on earth is short, and end quickly. If you delay or put off making your investment, or don’t make one at all, then you lose out on receiving the benefit of having made the investment. Plain and simple. This is true in both physical and spiritual life. The earlier you make your investment, the longer you gain from the benefit of compounding. Our investment (decision) in Christ is our investment in eternity. What type of a return can you expect? What amount or price can you put on that? God paid handsomely to save me, you and everyone else who accepts the offer of eternal salvation through his Son, Jesus Christ. God paid the ultimate price with the life of his Son, Jesus Christ. This is worth more than an infinite number of trillions of dollars. This is not offered in Materialism, Buddhism, Toaism, Gaism, Satanism, Hinduism, Sexualism, Idolism, Catholicism, Islam, Paganism, etc. It is Satan’s plan that all of these “ism’s” (coalesced into a mystery religion) will lead all men astray to both physical and spiritual eternal death. Satan hates us and hates God for having a plan to save us through Jesus Christ. Christ’s plan is to save us. Satan’s plan is to destroy or devour us.
Why would you turn down being saved? A drowning man grabs the hand/arm that reaches under the water to pull him up. A sick person seeks the skills of a physician to help heal their physical body. Christ desperately wants to heal us from the physical and spiritual results of sin. You don’t think sin has an effect on a person’s physical body. Think again. Talk to an addict or someone who feels compelled to do something over and over again, even though they know they shouldn’t or know whatever it is they are doing is wrong, or harmful. This is one very simple form of the effects of sin. Sin manifests itself differently in everyone, but the result is the same. Physical and spiritual death. Try to explain this to anyone alive in Babylon NEOM Future. They are living the good life, enjoying the manifestations and results of their technological investments. They have a million dollar condo on the Red Sea, or Gulf of Aqaba and are living life ‘deliciously’ (Rev. 18:7) … “For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit like a queen, and am now widow, and shall see no sorrow.” (Emphasis added). This verse pretty much sums up the attitude of men’s minds and hearts in Babylon NEOM Future. They think to themselves, ‘Man, I got it made! It’s a great life, I can afford anything, I can do whatever I want and I don’t have to account to anyone, nothing can stop me now!’ Notice that both evil and righteousness pay dividends, depending on how men invest of themselves. Poor, poor billionaires. Poor, poor technocrats. Poor, poor hypocritical religious leaders. The Christian Tribulation Saints (those martyred, beheaded for witnessing of Christ) lose their temporary physical life, but gain an eternity with Christ in heaven, which pays dividends forever. Do not mock this, do not make fun of this and do not belittle this. These souls are so convinced of the gospel and the forgiveness of their sins through Jesus Christ, that they will not deny Christ and instead choose beheading over rescinding their faith in Christ. They withstand Satan’s strongest attempts to dissuade them of Christ and they are victorious. Are any of us thus convinced to be of this fortitude if it were us? How precious are these people to Christ! The Bible’s book of Revelation is crystal clear when it indicates no one else, from any other religious group, is martyred or beheaded. Why would this be? Why are Christians the only people getting beheaded? Why is Satan so threatened by us? What is he so deceived into thinking he is accomplishing by doing this? He can’t pick on Christ, so he picks on us. He picks on the big brother’s … little brother. If this sounds like a sermon, it is, but in the context of the evil that exists during the Tribulation and in Babylon NEOM future specifically.
NEOM is Babylon Future and is a phoenix rising in the desert sands and mountains in the land of Shur (Saudi Arabia) to become a great, great city that sits like a queen in her glory and believes it will never see sorrow.
NEOM BABYLON:
Four-fold Reference to the Woman (Whore):
- … “And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgement of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: ” (Rev. 17:1). (Emphasis added).
- … “And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations and tongues.” (Rev. 17:15). (Emphasis added).
- … “And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.” (Rev. 17:16). (Emphasis added).
- … “For true and righteous are his judgements: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.” (Rev. 19:2). (Emphasis added).
Commentary: Two (2) references directly indicate that the whore is judged for corrupting the earth with false religious doctrines (Mystery Religion Babylon), and she is judged for killing the servants of God by beheadings. The whore sits on all the peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues. Again, this is an analogy for the false religious doctrines, of the tribulation period, being widespread and encouraged around the world to all peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues (everyone, everywhere). The whore facilitates the adoption of these blasphemous, evil, man made religious doctrines and subsequent false religious worshipping. Babylon is described as a whore because she is tempting men away from the rightful and true worship of God (through his Son, Jesus Christ). Mankind is being tempted with a cheap, water-downed, hodge-podge, ‘do as thou wilst’, no strings attached kind of evil, religious soup from the smorgasbord of lies. Another terse analogy is that the whore tempts the world with a cornucopia of religious crap, that the world is deceived into thinking that it is right, good and healthy for them. Mankind consumes this evil religious soup and empties their bowl to the last drop. All of these expressions support the fact, that as a spiritual whore, Babylon tempts mankind with bad, evil and blasphemous alternatives to the true worship of Jesus Christ and God. Satan is deceivingly giving mankind what they want think is best for themselves, instead of men considering what God rightfully offers them. They fall for the lie, instead of stand for the truth.
The third verse, 17:16, taken by itself will appear to be confusing because it sort of sits at odds with the other verses. However, this is not the case when taken into context with other verses, throughout Revelation that discuss Babylon and Mystery Religion Babylon. In a nutshell, the whore, both city of Babylon and the Mystery Religion of Babylon are ultimately destroyed. The physical city of Babylon is destroyed and split into three parts, in one hour by a massive earthquake, on The Great Day of the Lord. Mystery Religion Babylon is destroyed by the ten (10) kings/political leaders who form the axis behind the beast’s/antichrist’s power base. At the midpoint of the tribulation, Satan does away with all of these mystery, man-made religious doctrines and worship practices, to declare that the entire world now has to worship him directly as God. The ten (10) kings/political leaders force the destruction (eat her flesh, burn her with fire, hate her) of all of the worldwide, false religious worship, at the demand of the beast/antichrist.
This paves the way for the world to have only one object of worship, during the last 3 ½ years of the tribulation… Satan, who possesses the body of the antichrist/beast until Christ’s return on The Day of the Lord. The great deceiver, Satan/Devil, plays the world with the greatest spiritual/religious ‘bait-n-switch’ of all time. Once he gets them in the door, luring them in with every religious/worshipping lie (Do as thou wilst) they want to hear, he gets them to sign on the dotted line by taking his Mark of identification and allegiance. Now he has them, bait-hook-line-sinker. Once they are hooked, he throws away the old bait (blasphemous religious doctrines and worship), and tells mankind that they now have to worship him, only him, directly. They can’t refuse, turn back, tear up the contract or deem that it is null and void. They ‘marked the deal’ with their signature, when they allowed the false prophet to brand them with the beast’s mark. It is a done deal. Signed in blood. They are now damned for eternity for believing in lies and corrupting themselves physically and spiritually. They no longer have the possibility of redemption or of being the imagers of God, but rather, are the physically and spiritually corrupted, polluted imagers of Satan. The physical and spiritual corruption is now permanent and for eternity. Satan owns them.
Foursome (double of a double); a double reference to whore plus a double reference to great whore. Foursome (peoples, multitudes, nations, tongues). Foursome (desolate, naked, flesh, fire). Foursome (two references to seeing the whore, two references to where the whore sits). Thus, there are four – foursomes, another doubling of a double, this time of four (4) and not two (2). There is a double of seven’s (7), (seven angels and seven vials). The whore is one of the targets of the seven angels with the seven vials. Judgement is referenced three (3) times (denoting emphasis and intensity), judgement has two (2) descriptions (true and righteous). There are two (2) descriptions of what the whore does, first she corrupts the earth with her fornications (false religious doctrine/worship), and secondly she sheds the blood of Christ’s Saints (Tribulation Martyrs) via beheading, for their witnessing of Jesus Christ.
Five-Fold Reference to Seven (7) Crowns Heads:
- … “And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” (Rev. 12:3). (Emphasis added).
- … “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.” (Rev. 13:1). (Emphasis added).
- … “So he carried me away in the spirt into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.” (Rev. 17:3). (Emphasis added).
- … “And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth here, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.” (Rev. 17:7). (Emphasis added).
- … “And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.” (Rev. 17:9). (Emphasis added).
Commentary: Verse 17:9 clears up the symbolism of the seven heads. They are the seven (7) mountains where NEOM Babylon resides, sits or rests upon. These are mountains and not hills. Physical NEOM Babylon city rests nestled among seven (7) physical, geographic mountains. There are many verses in chapter 18 (15, 17, 19 and 21) which indicate that Babylon city is also within easy eyesight of sea(s) or ocean(s). As indicated, physical NEOM Babylon city rests within seven (7) mountains on nearby sea routes.
List of the Seven Highest Peaks in the Midian Mountains
“The Seven Crowns or Mountains of NEOM Babylon”
| Peak | Height (m) | Nearest City | Coordinates |
| Jabal Al-Lawz | 2,549 | Tabuk | 28°39′16″N 35°18′18″E |
| Jabal Al Qalom | 2,367 | Tabuk | 28°35′45″N 35°20′03″E |
| Jabal Maqla | 2,326 | Tabuk | 28°59’67”N 35°33’54”E |

| Jabal Shar | 1,784 | Dhuba | 27°38′52″N 35°44′32″E |
- The Midian Mountains are a range that extends from the Northwest of NEOM to the Southeast of NEOM, directly through the center of NEOM’s geographical footprint.
- Jabal Al-Lawz, is the central-most point (and highest mountain) in NEOM and of the Midian Mountains.
- Jabal Al-Lawz, the highest mountain sits at apx. 2,500 meters.
- The Christ angle (from the great pyramid of Giza in Egypt) points directly to (and through) Bethlehem (birth place of Christ) and to (and through) the mountain known as Jabal Al Lawz in the MIDDLE of NEOM Babylon (birth place of the Antichrist?). Both Bethlehem and Jabal Al Lawz sit on EXACTLY the same point of longitude (35.2 East)
- Bethlehem (in Israel) latitude and longitude = 31°70’53”N 35°19’36”E
- Jabal Al Lawz (in NEOM Babylon) latitude and longitude = 28°39′16″N 35°18′18″E
- ALL seven (7) mountains of NEOM Babylon sit EXACTLY on the 35° latitude and form a straight line pointing North AND intersecting Bethlehem (birthplace of Christ) at 35°.
- Jabal Al-Lawz is debated as being the original Mt. Sinai of Biblical antiquity. Galatians 4:25 … “Mount Sinai in Arabia.” (Exodus 19:2, 19:11, 19:18, 19:20, 19:23, 24:16, 31:18, 34:2, 34:4, 34:29, 34:32, Leviticus 7:38, 25:1, 26:46, 27:34, Numbers 3:1, 28:6, Deuteronomy 33:2, Judges 5:5, Nehemiah 9:13, Galatians 4:24).
- Is it an ironic coincidence that this mountain is the largest mountain in all of NEOM?
Six-fold Reference to the Woman (as Babylon City and Mystery Religion Babylon):
- … “So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.” (Rev. 17:3). (emphasis added).
- …”And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.” (Rev. 17:4). (emphasis added).
- … “And I saw the woman drunken with blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.” (Rev. 17:6). (emphasis added).
- … “And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.” (Rev. 17:7). (emphasis added).
- … “And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.” (Rev. 17:9). (emphasis added).
- … “And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” (Rev. 17:18). (emphasis added).
Commentary: Six (6) references. Six represents imperfection, something not normal, monstrous, evil. The descriptive name of woman is used interchangeably as referring to both the physical Babylon City and the Mystery Religion of Babylon. Sometimes, the distinction is clear as to whether the reference is to the actual city or to the mystery religion that comes from the city. In other instances there is interchangeability in how the descriptive elements are used in referring to the city or the evil religion.
The six (6) verses are meant to be read in context with another. The woman is a great city, sitting on seven mountains and reigns over the kings of the earth (or, is the political capital of the beast’s empire). Initially, the evil religion that originates from this city is carried throughout the world (supported by) the ten kings who form the beast’s political and military backbone. The city (like a woman) is adorned with the most luxurious and expensive, precious stones, gold, finest linens, etc. The city and evil religion (like a whore) seduce men and kings from around the world to practice evil, blasphemous religious doctrines and false worship of evil things. The city and evil religion (like a whore) are drunk or intoxicated with the blood of those whom were martyred for believing in the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are intoxicated or drunk in the sense that they are exceedingly giddy in having defeated and killed those who do not subscribe to their evil doctrines. They feel vindicated, that their evil way is the right way. They are joyful and happy that their religious enemies (Christians) are literally being killed before their eyes for not converting to false religious dogma or blasphemous forms of worship. In a nutshell, the evil ones of Babylon City and those who practice Babylon’s Mystery Religion are absolutely giddy that blood (scarlet wine) is spilt from those they are successfully beheading (martyrs for Christ). The evil men feel that they are gaining victory over Christianity through the untold slaughter/beheading of many, many men who are converted by the gospel of Jesus Christ during the Tribulation Period.
Six-fold References to the Name Babylon as a City and as a Mystery Religion:
- … “And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” (Rev. 14:8). (Emphasis added).
- … “And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.” (Rev. 16:19). (Emphasis added).
- … “And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” (Rev. 17:5). (Emphasis added).
- … “And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” (Rev. 18:2). (Emphasis added).
- … “Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour is thy judgement come.” (Rev. 18:10). (Emphasis added).
- … “And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.” (Rev. 18:21). (Emphasis added).
Commentary: Only six (6) references. Six represents imperfection, something not normal, monstrous, evil. The number of evil man. These six references are to a name or title, and are not descriptive, since Babylon is capitalized in every case. ‘That great city’ is used twice as a descriptive element. ‘the great’ is used three times as a descriptive element.
3X + 2X = 5X (the great + that great city). Denotes the satanic influence behind and operating within the city.
3X + 2X +1X = 6X (the great + that great city + Babylon). Adding the name Babylon from the first verse or reference with the two descriptive elements indicates that Babylon is an extremely evil city of men. Six (6) references is the evil number representing man.
5X + 1X = 6X (Babylon City + Mystery Babylon). Babylon is referenced 5X as a city and once as Mystery Babylon. Mystery (Religion) Babylon is a spiritual or religious reference to the evil and false religion(s) coming from the city causing spiritual fornication around the world. Depending on how the word Babylon is used, in context and with descriptive elements, it can mean either the actual, physical city of the Beast’s worldwide capital, or it can mean the false, evil, mystery religious fornication that is spewed forth from the city. Generically speaking, the Babylonian System is not mentioned in the Bible, however, it is used to describe the entire Babylon footprint on the earth; the beast, the false prophet, the mark/name/number, the ten kings (political, military backbone for the beast), the physical city of Babylon, the false, fornication of evil religion and spirituality, the satanic influence behind the beast, the false prophet, Babylon City and Mystery Religion Babylon. The Babylon System also includes the worldwide systems behind the beast’s empire that allow him to govern the earth; electronic commerce, communications, military, political, and religious. Babylon and Mystery Religion Babylon are further described as:
- She made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
- God remembers the evil caused by her and pours out the “wine of the fierceness of his wrath” for her to drink. In turn, she is divided into three parts and the cities of the world are leveled by the greatest, most powerful earthquake in the history of mankind “as long as men have walked the earth.”
- She is described also as being the ”mother or harlots and abominations of the earth.” Taken into context with MYSTERY, this refers to the spiritual fornication that is generated from the city and spread around the world.
- The physical city becomes the ”habitation of devils, the hold of every kind of foul spirit, and the cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” These descriptive elements suggest that physical Babylon City will attract anything and everything that is evil, foul, devilish, unclean and hateful. Both of spirits and of men.
- Physical Babylon City is literally destroyed in one hour. The smoke and fire of her destruction is seen so far away that men (merchants, kings) stand back or away, least they be consumed by her destruction. They see Babylon City’s destruction and are afraid to come near it because they fear that the destruction might come upon them. Everyone who stands afar off watching the aftermath of Babylon City’s destruction marvel at her destruction and the immensity of it. They grew rich from selling their merchandise and luxuries to the evil people of Babylon City. The kings of the world maintained their political power under the beast by committing spiritual mystery religion fornication with the evil religious doctrine(s) the city provided the world. Everyone who ‘benefitted’ from their relationship with the evil city and its evil religious dogma is now distraught because their fortunes and benefits have been lost. They never thought that such a ‘great city’ could fall or be destroyed, let alone in under just one hour. They are scared for themselves and won’t come near the city.
- Lastly, an extremely strong angel casts or throws a millstone (heavy object) into the sea indicating that Babylon City will likewise be cast aside with violence and found no more. Babylon City was not unlike a millstone that hung around the necks of men, causing them to sink to the depths of hell. Symbolically, as the millstone sinks to the bottom of the ocean and will never be found again, so it will be with Babylon City. It is violently destroyed and cast aside, never to be found again.
Once again, Six (6) detailed descriptions of Babylon and Mystery Religion Babylon. Six represents imperfection, something not normal, monstrous, evil. The number of evil man.
Six-fold Descriptive Names of Babylon City:
- queen. (Rev. 18:7)
- mighty city. (Rev. 18:10)
- no widow. (Rev. 18:7)
- great city. (7X). (Rev. 14:8, 17:18, 18:10, 18:16, 18:18, 18:19, 18:21)
- woman. (6X). (17:3, 17:4, 17:6, 17:7, 17:9, 17:18)
- whore. (4X). (Rev. 17:1, 17:15, 17:16, 19:2)
Commentary: Descriptive references (not name or title conventions). Four of the evil references are related to a female (queen, no widow, woman, whore). The remaining references are to an evil city. We know these references are evil because there are six (6) of them and they describe the evil, physical city of Babylon City and those who dwell within it.
X = reference(s) to descriptive name.
7X = (great city). Denotes God’s divinely determined completeness to his plan or purpose.
6X + 1X = 7X (woman + queen). Denotes God’s divinely determined completeness to his plan or purpose.
6X + 1X = 7X (woman + no widow). Denotes God’s divinely determined completeness to his plan or purpose.
6X + 1X = 7X (woman + great city). Denotes God’s divinely determined completeness to his plan or purpose.
4X + 1X + 1X + 1X = 7X (whore + queen + no widow + great city). Denotes God’s divinely determined completeness to his plan or purpose.
6X + 4X = (woman + whore). Denotes imperfection, monstrous, not normal and evil (plus) universalness. Numbers within numbers, meaning within meanings, truth within truth. Six (6) evil references or verses describing the evil Babylon City. Seven, six and four repetitions of the evil descriptive elements have divine meaning. Even the combinations of the evil descriptive elements and the number of their repetitions contain divine meaning and truth.
Seven-fold References to the great city of Babylon:
- … “And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” (Rev. 14:8). (Emphasis added).
- … “And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” (Rev. 17:18). (Emphasis added).
- … “Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour is thy judgement come.” (Rev. 18:10). (Emphasis added).
- … “And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls.” (Rev. 18:16). (Emphasis added).
- … “And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!” (Rev. 18:18). (Emphasis added).
- … “And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! For in one hour is she made desolate.” (Rev. 18:19). (Emphasis added).
- … “And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.” (Rev. 18:21). (Emphasis added).
Commentary: “great city” is a descriptive reference for the physical city of Babylon. This is not a descriptive reference to Mystery Religion Babylon. Babylon City is described as “great” (not in a positive sense, but in a negative sense) because of what the city does throughout the earth during the Tribulation. It serves as a home-base for the Mystery Religion of Babylon. It serves as the capital for the Babylon kingdom. The city is decked out in massive, earthly wealth and material splendor. The glory of Jesus Christ or God is not found anywhere in Babylon City. Worship of Jesus Christ and God is not found anywhere in the city. The city is home to all sorts of foul, evil/unclean spirits and likewise men. As far as the values of evil men, the great city of Babylon has it all. Everything evil can be found in Babylon City, the “great city.” Nonetheless, Babylon City is crushed within one hour during the Day of the Lord’s return. A massive, worldwide eqrthquake splits this city into three parts. The destruction so great and consuming, that smoke of her burning can be seen many miles away at sea. Businessmen and merchants don’t want to go anywhere near the “great city” because they are afraid that they might receive the same fate due to association. They lament, because their best customer just got hammered and their gravy train has ended. Thus, their profits and gain have so ended. So much for the “great city.” It was quickly thrown away and destroyed just like a giant mill-stone thrown into the sea. Never to be found again.
Seven-fold Dooms on Babylon City:
- All plagues come in one day, one hour, death, mourning, famine, burning with fire. (Rev. 18:8, 10)
- The great city is divided into three parts by the great earthquake on the Day of the Lord. (Rev. 16:19)
- No music will be heard. (Rev. 18:22)
- No craftsman (industry) will be found. (Rev. 18:22)
- No millstone (delicious dining, restaurants) will be found. (Rev. 18:22)
- No light (artificial or natural) will shine. (Rev. 18:23)
- Voice of the bridegroom and bride (marriages) will not be heard. (Rev. 18:23)
Commentary: These verses describe what happens to the capital city of an evil empire, when God brings his ‘celestial hammer of wrath’. The city gets hammered and pounded into oblivion. (Rev. 18:21) … “And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.” The basic things of city living disappear within an hour. An earthquake splits the city into three parts. The burning and smoke from the city can be seen for many miles offshore by sailors, and captains of vessels who transported wealth to Babylon’s docks. (Rev. 17:17). Also, kings of the world and merchants plying their merchandise with Babylon can see the smoke from her destruction and are severely pained because they know their best customer has been destroyed along with their livelihood. They are also afraid for themselves and keep their distance, in case they might receive the same wrath as Babylon. (Rev. 17:11, 17:15, 17-19).
Seven-fold Luxuries of Babylon City:
- Luxury metals and stones (fine gold, silver, precious stones, pearls). (Rev. 18:12)
- Luxury clothing (fine linens, silks, color dyes). (Rev. 18:12)
- Luxury building materials (precious woods, ivory, brass, iron, marble). (Rev. 18:12)
- Luxury produce (exquisite herbs, fragrances, ointments, wine, oil, flour, wheat). (Rev. 18:13)
- Luxury meat products / animals (beasts, sheep, horses).(Rev. 18:13 )
- Luxury cars and transportation (chariots). (Rev. 18:13)
- Human slave trade and sex-trafficking (slaves and souls of men). (Rev. 18:13)
Commentary: This looks like today’s shopping list of the rich and famous, and of the political and financial elite of the world. I believe this covers everything materialistic that is generally valued around the world today (and in the future). There is nothing mundane, routine or common among these delicacies. Babylon is built on luxurious living and is the center of worldwide trade of these items and merchandise. These things are literally brought into Babylon by the ship loads (Rev. 18:17-19), “For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off.” (Empahsis added). These items are considered luxurious because they are extremely expensive! (Rev. 18:19, “the great city was made rich by all the ships of the sea by reason of her costliness.”) (Emphasis added). The people in Bablyon are extremely materialistic and glorify themselves through their wealth, but are spiritually evil and bankrupt. Demand for luxury items is so great that merchants of the earth have become wealthy themselves by providing these luxuries (Rev. 18:3, “and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.”) (Emphasis added). Both supply (merchants) and demand (people in Babylon) worship the created things and not God, the Creator. The worship of and reliance on luxury items plays right into the hands of the Mystery Religion of Babylon.Keep in mind that all these players (merchants and Babylon citizens), all have the mark of the beast and his system. They are allowed to sell and buy through the complicity and authority of the antichrist’s economic machinations via having the mark. Hypothetically speaking, I wouldn’t be surprised if the wealthy in Babylon view the antichrist’s ‘mark’ as a luxury brand symbol or something equivalent. Sad, very sad (understatement).
Interestingly, there is a parallel condemnation of wealth and materialism regarding the church of Laodicea (Rev. 3:14-22). During the time when John received the Revelation of Jesus Christ, Laodicea was a leading banking center, and known for manufacturing garments made from a soft, black wool. Additionally, Laodicea was also home to a famous medical school that specialized in the treatment of eye diseases. The city had a lot going for it economically. The Laodicea church also benefited financially from the surrounding strong economy. The city was so strong financially, that in AD 60 when it was destroyed by an earthquake, Laodicea paid for its own reconstruction instead of asking Rome for rebuilding funds. As a result of the Laodecian church’s self-sufficiency and affluence, they received a strong rebuke from Jesus. The church considered itself wealthy and self-sufficient, instead, Jesus viewed this church very differently. He saw this church as “wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked”, using metaphors from the local economy that surrounded the church. “Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing: and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.” (Rev. 3:17) (emphasis added). While the church thought it had everthing, it had nothing. They confused material prosperity and comfort with spiritual health and security. The Bible teaches that the rich (and very rich, by today’s standards) are often tempted to rely upon themselves, while the poor often turn to the Lord for help. Jesus challenges his people to trust in him rather than in material possessions, and to use things to meet the needs of others (Deut. 8:10-14; Prov. 30:8-9; Matt. 6:19-24; Luke 12:13-21; 1 Tim. 6:6-10, 17-19). Physical wealth and comfort can foster spiritual complacency and self-reliance. Affluence tempts us to forget God. The message to the church of Laodicea illustrates the power of forgetting God, do to materialistic affluence.
From an economic point of view, the parallel between Babylon and Laodicea is staggering. The rebuke that Jesus gave the church of Laodicea is generally considered to be one of the stronger (est) rebukes given to the five churches who were in need of correction. Keep in mind that Jesus’ rebuke was to those members in his own house (church). Babylon has the same evil symptons, but on steroids! Citizens of Babylon and worshippers of Mystery Religion Babylon are swimming in luxury, wealth, materialism and self-suffiency. Greed is rampant. They are not members of Jesus’ church and they do not acknowledge or worship the Creator who made the material wealth they worship and enjoy. Revelation 18:7 indicates, “How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously. ” (Emphasis added). God is not remotely on their spending or spiritual radar. They are utterly deceived by their materialism and love of luxury and ‘delicious living’. Since Jesus strongly rebuked the Loadicean church members, how much more so will God pour out His wrath on Babylon, who openly rejects him for the love of wealth? The Loadicean church received rebuke from Jesus, Babylon will receive total destruction by God. This should be a message to today’s churches who preach the prosperity gospel. God is not against a person being prosperous, however, he is against the amount of prosperity that fosters complacency and self-sufficiency. He is also against the level of wealth that fosters wealth worship (greed) at the expense of foregtting one’s relationship with God and Jesus Christ.
Night Watchman Note; The ‘geniuses’ who planned and are building NEOM (Babylon) in the North Western region of Saudi Arabia, known as ‘Tabuk’ are building ‘THE GREAT CITY’ ON TOP OF THREE OF THE LARGEST TECTONIC PLATES IN THE WORLD. IMAGINE THAT! GOD WILL HAVE THE ‘LAST LAUGH.’
Revelation 16:18-20
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19 And the great city (NEOM Babylon) was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
Simple ‘Theology’; Yahweh ‘Y’ has the last laugh. The Beast/Antichrist ‘split’ Jerusalem and confirmed it throughout MENA (the MANY Arabic/Muslim Nations). Jerusalem is the ‘apple of God’s eye’ and HIS ‘seat on earth’ reserved for HIM in the Third Temple. Since the Beast/Antichrist ‘split or divided’ Jerusalem, Yahweh ‘Y’ will split, divide, cut or fracture NEOM (the Great City, the Whore, the Woman that sits on 7 scarlet and purple mountains, the Last Babylon) into THREE ‘3’ PARTS from the ‘greatest ever or will be’ earthquake. Three ‘3’ denotes God’s ‘intensity and emphasis’ of the matter. Coincidence? ‘three parts’ and ‘three tectonic plates’ UNDER Neom?

Tectonic Setting: The Tabuk is an area located in the northwestern part of the Arabian Plate. This Plate is surrounded by three tectonic regimes; divergent, convergent, and transform. The divergent boundaries in the west and south represent the recent spreading along the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden respectively. The active convergent margin lies to the northeast in the TurkishIranian Plateau, where continental collision has given rise to this Plateau. A major continental strike-slip fault zone bounds the plate in the northwest. This is the Dead Sea Transform fault which runs from the Gulf of Aqaba through the Dead Sea and Syria into southern Turkey. A second transform boundary exists to the southeast (offshore of Oman) in the intra-oceanic Owen Fracture Zone. This boundary with the Indian Plate is the oldest and least active tectonic margin of the Arabian Plate. The tectonic pattern of the region is inherited from the basement tectonics of ancient Nubian-Arabian shield, which received its main structural imprint during the late Precambrian orogenies. The most important among the tectonic features is the northwest-southeast striking faults (parallel to the Red Sea), the Gulf of Suez rift, the Najd faults system, the Aqaba fault line, and northeast-southwest and east-west trending pattern. The geology and tectonics of western Saudi Arabia is dominated by the Arabian Shield, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden in the west-southwest. Since the start of rifting, the Arabian plate moved northeastward from Egypt and Sudan, northward from Somalia, and rotated counterclockwise about a point in the vicinity of the Gulf of Suez. Such movement is accommodated by compression and strike-slip faulting along the Bitlis and Zagros belts, where the Arabian plate is undergoing a subduction beneath the Eurasian plate, and by strike-slip displacement along the Dead Sea transform fault. At present, the northern part of the Arabian plate moves northwestward with respect to the Eurasian plate at a rate of 20 ± 3 mm/yr.

NO, AMERICA IS NOT ‘BABYLON.’ ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.
‘The seven ‘heads’ are seven mountains on which the woman (Great Whore, Great City) sitteth. A ‘great city’ sits on seven mountains, not a great country.
Who is the BEAST, as in the BEAST’S SEAT (NEOM BABYLON, The Great City, The Great Whore, The Mother of Harlots? ‘Whore’ is used or referenced in a ‘spiritual’ sense, not a sexual sense.
‘7’ Paul Rolland, Night Watchman, Night Watchman Ministries;
Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and POWER was ‘GIVEN’ him (Prince, Beast, Antichrist) over ALL kindreds, and tongues, and NATIONS.
The One World Government Leader Has Power OVER ALL THE NATIONS of the EARTH.
WHO is the Abraham Accords ‘Confirmer,’ the BEAST, the Eighth (8th) King, the ‘ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT LEADER’, the FIRST RIDER OF THE APOCALYPSE who goes to Perdition (Utter Destruction), The LAST CAESAR, PHARAOH or ANTICHRIST?
Revelation 13:2-4
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon [Satan, Allah, Prince of the Power of the Air] which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast [Antichrist, Man-by-Satan ‘MbS’], saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? (Emphasis mine. Discernment mine.)
Five (5) references to ‘beast.’ 5 denotes satanic influence over evil men.
Jesus Identified the Sign of the Antichrist: He is NOT Macron, Biden, Obama, Trump, Putin, Jinping, Gates, Pope Francis or Klaus Schwab. The ‘Beast’ has been identified NOW, and his role changes to the Antichrist 3.5 years into the Tribulation.
Revelation 17:8-11 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
‘Seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.’ = NEOM Babylon sits on the seven (7) tallest mountains in the Midian Mountain range in the Tabuk region of Saudi Arabia. Tallest mountain is Mount Sinai. These mountains are scarlet and purple colored due to volcanic origin and related minerals deposited in rock. NEOM is a $500 (5) billion technological/hedonistic paradise. No mention or acceptance of Christ.
The seven and eight kings are in reference to the genetic lineage (bottomless pit of evil) of the House of Saud. These are ALL the modern kings since the foundation of modern Saudi Arabia.
Proof of the ‘line of’ of the 8 kings.
Kings of Saudi Arabia (1932–present)
1. King Ibn Saud. 9/22/1932 – 11/9/1953. Kingdom founded by conquest. Had six (6) sons that became Kings of the Kingdom. Six (6) is the number of evil man/men. The ground work for this kingdom was being created at the same time as the ground work for the State of Israel. Satan started establishing his ‘chosen people’ (those who worship the dragon and beast) at the same time God was re-establishing his ‘chosen people’ (the Jews) over the 1930’s to late 1940’s. 1 of the 5 ‘fallen/dead’ kings.
2. King Saud. 11/9/1953 – 11/2/1964. 2 of the 5 ‘fallen/dead’ kings.
3. King Faisal. 11/2/1964 – 3/25/1975. 3 of the 5 ‘fallen/dead’ kings.
4. King Khalid. 3/25/1975 – 6/13/1982. 4 of the 5 ‘fallen/dead’ kings.
5. King Fahd. 6/13/1982 – 8/1/2005. 5 of the 5 ‘fallen/dead’ kings.
6. King Abdullah. 8/1/2005 – 1/23/2015. The king ‘that is.’ This is the 6th king revealed by the Holy Spirit to John the Apostle. He is the signpost for the ‘season of the times’ of the latter days, prior to the tribulation. A sign for the evil Gentile nations.
7. King Salman. (King 2015 – ?). 1/23/2015- (2022) This is the 7th and ‘future’ king revealed to John the Apostle who will reign for a ‘short time or while’. If his reign lasts for 7 years, from 2015 on into 2022, it will truly reflect a short reign and denotes God’s divine completion to his plan or purpose for the seven kings, including the seventh king. King Salman is the LAST of the six (6) sons of Ibn Saud to be King of Saudi Arabia.
8. Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. He is the 8th and final ‘future’ king revealed to John the Apostle. He is the ‘beast’, comes from seven (7) kings/lineage before him and goes to perdition. His reign is over the seven (7) years of the tribulation. Born 1985, he will be 35 (7×5) years old in 2020. Seven (7) denotes God’s divine completion to His plan or purpose. Five (5) denotes Satanic influence of men and kings. God’s influence over men in greater than Satan’s influence over men 7>5. Notice that MBS will be the FIRST king who is NOT a direct son of founding King Ibn Saud in 1932. Becoming the 8th king, MBS represents a ‘new epoch’ a ‘new future’ for the kingdom that forms an ideological break from the past. Eight (8) denotes a new beginning, new timeline, new season, new plan. God is addressing the evil status quo of the House of Saud (bottomless pit of evil, wealth, influence, power, corruption) and ushering in the time of great wrath, the tribulation for Gentile nations. From a spiritual perspective, MBS not being one of the six (6) sons of the founding King Ibn Saud, now holds claim to being the son of perdition under the power and influence of the dragon (Satan). MBS has no allegiance to his family tree, tradition, other family princes and historical political protocol. Only an extremely evil, pathological soul manipulated by Satan would turn on his own family. In Satan’s plan, he used the ‘bottomless pit’ of evil House of Saud to raise MBS, the beast, the son of perdition to be in the positions he both currently and in future, will hold. Just as Jesus Christ had an earthly family tree and lineage, Satan used the House of Saud as the earthly family tree, lineage for his son of perdition, the beast, the coming Antichrist.
At the time John the Apostle was in the Holy Spirit and given a ‘vision’ of the future, 5 of the Saudi Kings were already dead (fallen). He was shown the sixth king, and told that a future 7th and 8th king were coming. The sixth king was a ‘sign post’ of the beginning of the ‘end times’ prior to the tribulation. The 7th King ‘short while’ in current King Salman, the last son of founder Saud. Mbs, Mohammed bin Salman is ‘Crown Prince’ and will become the 8th king (goes into perdition). MbS is the ‘Beast’ who rules during the seven (7) year tribulation and great tribulation (last 3.5 year period.) MbS (Beast now), becomes the Antichrist midway during the 7 year tribulation, at the occurrence known as the ‘Abomination of Desolation.’
King Salman brought his son, MBS into the kingdom’s political arena in 2015. 2015-2020 is also a 5 year period of Satanic influence on MBS, as he has grown in power and worldwide influence and stature among not only Western countries, but among ‘Kings of the East’, and those who worship the dragon and the beast throughout Middle East / North African countries (MENA – the ‘many’ Arabic and Islamic countries).
Mohammed bin Salman (named Crown Prince, June 2017). He is referred to scripturally as both a Prince and as a King. This is extremely unique and mentioned for a very real reason. He plays a prophetic role as Prince (when he confirms the false peace covenant among many nations throughout MENA regarding Israel and the Palestinians). Please consider that many, if not all, MENA countries are either Arabic and/or Muslim and are financially and politically beholden to Saudi Arabia in one form or another. Religiously, all these countries are beholden to the House of Saud, because it is the ‘custodian’ of Islam’s ‘holiest’ sites in Saudi Arabia. All Muslims must come for Hajj in Saudi Arabia at some point in their life, if capable (those who worship the dragon and the beast). Satanic influence is woven together and throughout ALL of these counties. They will agree to MBS’ confirmation of the covenant, as Crown Prince. They dare not come against the Crown Prince’s wish and confirmation. Thus, they will abide by his confirmation. They have every reason to accept his confirmation, because of their political, financial and religious vested interests with Saudi Arabia. ‘Who can make war or come against the Beast?’
MBS also plays a prophetic role as Saudi Arabia’s 8th King. This will likely occur before he enters the rebuilt Jewish 3rd Temple and causes the Abomination of Desolation (claims to be god and demands to be worshiped as such). Poor man wants to be rich, rich man wants to be prince, prince wants to be king, king wants to be god and rule everything. As such, MBS will likely be the Saudi’s 8th King once he sets foot in the rebuilt Jewish temple half way through the tribulation. After all, he is already the focus of ‘those who worship the dragon and the beast.’ He now wants the Jews to worship him along with the rest of the world (via the destruction of his previous accommodation and approval of the worshipping of the false mystery religions.) It’s not enough that Satan has deceived almost 2 billion Muslims. He now wants to be worshipped by the rest of the earth by Hindus, Buddhists, et.al. Satan destroys the false ‘mystery religion’ being propagated by the False Prophet, so he can be the only focus of mankind’s worship. These false religions served their satanic purpose by deceiving men and leading men away from Christ, now is time to throw these other false religions into the fire so men are forced to worship Satan, through MBS exclusively.
Hence, MBS’ role will have changed from beast/prince to king to Antichrist at this point. He is indwelt by Satan in order for Satan to satisfy his claim that he will rise to be like the true God and to be worshipped as such. As a spiritual entity, Satan can only possess and indwell a flesh and blood human man. Satan has done everything in his power to raise MBS up through the evil bottomless pit of the House of Saud, to become a Crown Prince, to become a King, and now that Satan has possessed him to become the world-wide Antichrist. At this point, MBS is completely under Satan’s authority and power and ensues to blaspheme God and Jesus Christ.
The timing of when MBS became Crown Prince is known (June 2017). When he becomes king is when his father succumbs the throne to MBS (this could be through death or a short political reign for one reason or another – health?). The actual timing is unimportant, all we are told is that the 7th king’s reign is for a ‘short time or while.’ His term could be 5, 6, 7 or 8 years.
Where else is there a family/political dynasty on earth that has had seven (7) consecutive kings that rule a country from the same genetic line? In the Middle East? During the time of Israel’s rebirth from a valley of dry bones to a budding fig tree? Saudi Arabia’s current 7th king and future 8th king fit the Biblical narratives set forth by the Word of God. 7th and 8th kings from the bottomless pit of evil, money, power, influence, corruption (5 Satanic influences). MBS is prince when he confirms the covenant. MBS becomes an Antichrist when he is worshiped as a mujaddid by Muslims, and then becomes the worldwide Antichrist when he is indwelt by Satan.
The timing of John the Apostle’s vision regarding the 8 Kings from the bottomless pit of the House of Saud – 5 ‘fallen’, 1 ‘is current’, 2 ‘are future’.
Why is this even a topic worth mentioning? What is the point? Is there a point? Yes, there is a point. And it is VERY important, from a prophetic viewpoint. In that, it is a ‘viewing point’ of the latter days, leading up to the tribulation. How so?
First, as Christians, we know that the Triune God gave John the Apostle a vision and knowledge of many things pertaining to the days leading up to and into the tribulation and after. The Holy Spirit carried him into the future, from his particular life in time, to witness things that he then explained in his Revelation of Jesus Christ. One of the visions he was given, while in the Holy Spirit, was of the 5 kings that were fallen, a 6th king he was being shown, and that of a 7th king who had not come (but would rule for a short while at some point in the future). Lastly, he was shown a future and last 8th king known and described as the Beast who would be sent to perdition, udder destruction, the lake of fire and brimstone, the second death … alive.
I have attempted to confirm who the 7th and 8th kings are from our point in space and time, relative to the ‘season of the times.’ What about this mysterious sixth king, the king ‘who is’. Why is this king important that John the Apostle was directly being shown? And what possible prophetic importance can he have? Of the 8 kings, why would God single out this particular man?
Consider that God, through the Holy Spirit, could have shown John any or all of the Kings in future ‘real time’. He was not permitted to see the 7th or 8th kings, but only the sixth. What perhaps was God’s reason for this?
The reign of 6th King Abdullah was from 2005 to 2015. This snapshot of time and space is important because it suggests that this time frame is important for us, for Gentiles alive in the final generation. To know that we are indeed in the ‘final season’ prior to our harpazo/rapture and the onset of the tribulation, without any doubt or hesitation. We know that Israel’s prophetic time clock began in 1948. God’s prophetic time clock for the tribulation of Gentile nations suggests that it started during the time of this sixth king. It is beyond the scope of this letter to go into details about what has occurred throughout the entire earth during the time of the sixth king’s reign. Many prophetic things started being revealed over the 5 year period from 2010 to 2015. The time of the sixth king’s reign is a sign post, a flashing light, a notice of when the final season begins and is upon the earth for Gentiles. God has given signs in scripture and the heavens for Jews, and Gentiles alike. The September 23, 2017 occurrence of the ‘great sign in heaven’ is an example of a sign for the Bride of Christ. The 6th Saudi king is a Gentile and a member of the House of Saud and the bottomless pit of evil. His reign (along with all the other past 5 kings and 2 future kings) has been orchestrated by Satan during the growth of this kingdom and the discovery of its bottomless wealth (oil). To a logical mind, clear and sober, this would indicate that God is saying that the age of grace for all Gentiles on earth is coming to a close. It is not important that we don’t know if God considers 2005 or 2015 to be the beginning of the ‘season of the time before the tribulation.’ Just as God spoke generically about the rebirth of Israel, as when you ‘see the fig tree bearing fruit’, he was referring to a time frame or process developing over time. In His divine plan, things develop and take time to grow until their divine timing is ripe to be revealed. Those who can discern can watch this occur, as it happens in ‘real time’ and understand appropriately and accordingly. As God gave a general timeline for Israel, commencing in 1948, he gives a Gentile timeline commencing in 2015. This of course is BEFORE the arrival of the future 7th and 8th kings who would indicate perhaps the middle and end of the ‘Fall Season’ or Season of the Times’ prior to the rapture/harpazo for the Bride and the onset of the tribulation.’
The 7 year period from 2015 to 2022 does indeed represent a 7 year period denoting God’s divine completion to his plan or purpose for the modern kingship lineage (line of) of Saudi Arabia. Time for the ‘Age of Grace’ has almost ended. As I write this letter, there is exactly only three (3) months remaining in 2019 before the world enters 2020 and a ‘new’ decade. Time is running out before the time begins of God’s great wrath on mankind and Gentile nations. We can know this with certainty by looking at the time frame witnessed by John the Apostle of the 6th king from the House of Saud. Six (6) denotes evil man/men. Seven (7) denotes God’s divine completion to his plan or purpose. Eight (8) denotes new era, new epoch, new season, new time span, new series of events. The 7th Saud King indicates that God is finished with Satan’s status quo in Saudi Arabia and of the evil Gentile world. The 8th Saud King indicates that God is ushering in a new time of tribulation and trial for mankind, Jews and Gentiles. Remember, the seven (7) year tribulation is also referred to as the ‘time or week of Jacob’s trouble.’ A week being seven (7) years and Jacob being a reference to Jews and Israel. God is turning his attention back onto Israel, the redemption of the Jews, wrath towards the Gentile world and arranging the coming Millennial Reign of Christ on Earth.
8 References to ‘BE WATCHING or WATCHFUL.’ ‘8’ indicates that a new ‘era or epoch’ is arriving. Be it the rapture, the tribulation, the year of the Jews redemption or the year of the onset (2028/29) of the 1000 year millennial reign of Christ (2028/29-3028/29).
Matthew 24:42; Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Matthew 25:13; Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Mark 13:35; Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning.
Luke 21:36; Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man
Luke 12:37-39; Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
