New York City is the
biggest city in the United States. It not only has the United Nations
headquartered in the city, which represents all the nations in the
world but also has a large diversified ethnic representation of the
world. Caucasians, Africans, Jews, Central and South Americans and
Asians all live together in this city. They provide great cultural and
ethnic diversification for the city. As the prophecy said, “the waters
you saw are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.”
(Revelation 17:15)
6) A City of Art &
Music
New York City is also famous for
its art and music excellence. It has about 150 museums, 400 art
galleries, 38 Broadway theaters, and scores of concert halls, clubs, and
dance halls. Broadway Music theaters and great art museums are the great
attractions and spotlights for millions of visitors to New York City
every year. New York City even claimed as the capital of Music in the
world. That’s also the major characteristic of the "Great City of
Babylon" prophesied in the Book of Revelation.
7)
A City of Arrogance & Pride
As a cosmopolitan
metropolis and major commercial center in the world, New York City has
also become a city of arrogance and pride. People think that they can
achieve anything by themselves without the blessing of God. Like what
Christ wrote in the letter to the Church in Laodicea, “You say, ‘I am rich; I
have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize
that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.” (Revelation
4:17) In this letter, Jesus Christ precisely prophesied
the mentality of the people at this age after they made money and
acquired wealth.
However, most people do not
realize that without the blessing from God, the wealth that people
acquired can be lost quickly, like the bursting bubble of the stock
market from the year 2000 to 2002 and the collapse of the financial and
real estate market in 2007-2008.
Due to its success as a
major metropolitan city in the world, New Yorkers were well-known for
their arrogant attitude and rude manners in the past, just as prophesied
in the Book of Revelation, “In her heart
she boasts, 'I sit as queen; I am not a widow, and I will never mourn.'”
(Revelation 18:7)
That had caused a great amount of negative Fortune Credit or bad Karma
for the city. Hopefully, people can remember the Word of God - “Pride
goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”
(Proverbs 16:18).
8) A City of Sexual Immorality
Sexual immorality is one
of the main characteristics of Babylon the Great. In the ancient time of
old Babylon, prostitution was even a part of their religious services.
Unfortunately, sexual immorality is also closely associated with the
city of New York. In the 1960s and 1970s, New York City was the origin
and the capital of “Sexual Liberation”, which caused a dramatic
increase in sexually transmitted diseases, teen pregnancies and
abortions.
At the beginning of the New
Millennium, “Sex and the City” became the popular topic of New York
City, and there was also a new “Museum of Sex” opened in New York
City, which claimed that New York City is the pioneer of “Sexual
Liberation” in the Western World. Isn’t that another confirmation
for the title of Babylon as “the Mother of Harlots” prophesied
in Revelation 17:5?
With the huge influence of New York City, the
Sexual Liberation has been spread to the world. Just as prophesied in
the Book of Revelation, “With her the kings of the earth
committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated
with the wine of her adulteries.” (Revelation 17:2)
9) A City of Blasphemy
Because of the high
commercialization of New York City, many people in New York City lost
their faith in God. They pay too much attention to material gains or
sensual desire and don’t appreciate the blessing of God. Some people
cursed God for the misfortune caused by their own misbehaviors. Some
people rallied against the teachings of the Word of God in public
schools. A person even used an elephant’s dung to depict the Virgin Mary and a
museum in New York City still exhibited it to the public in the name of
“art” or “freedom of expression”. How could these sins of
blasphemy escape the judgment from God without causing the misfortune to
the city?
These were all the
results of the influence from the spirit of Babylon the Great and its
beast, which in the past had persecuted the people of God in Israel, and
later in Rome. Now that evil spirit already came
to New York City and made New York City the central hub of many Anti-God
media and organizations.
In Chapter 13 of the Book
of Revelation, it was prophesied that the beast of Anti-Christ spirit
would be “given power to make war against the saints and to conquer
them, and he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and
nation.” (Revelation 13:7)
In New York City, this beast not only waged wars against the people of faith through its controlled
Anti-God and Anti-Christ media outlets, but also have influence over the
United Nation to insert its “authority over every tribe, people,
language and nation.” (Revelation 13:7) From nowhere else but New
York City could the beast have such a strong influence on this nation of
God and over the world as well.
10) A City Symbolized by
a Woman
When people talk about
New York City, most people will think of the famous landmark of the
city, the Statue of Liberty. The New York City is indeed symbolized by a
woman, Libertas, the goddess of liberty worshipped in ancient Rome. Is
that just a coincident? Not really.
The Statue of Liberty was a gift from French people to the United States of America to commemorate the alliance of France and the United States during the American Independence and the perseverance of freedom and democracy in the United States. The initial concept was proposed by Edouard Rene de Laboulaye, a French law professor and politician in a small group meeting in France.
And then a sculptor named
Frederic Bartholdi took the task to design the statue and he also came to the United States to seek the support of building a colossal
statue in New York City. Eventually, an agreement was reached that the
French group would pay for the cost of the Statue and Americans would be
responsible for the cost and construction of the pedestal of the statue.
The designer of the pedestal was also a freemason in the United States.
The official title of the
statue is “Liberty Enlightening the World”, which followed the motto
of the French Revolution, “Liberty, Equality and Fraternity”. It
represents the people of both French and American looking forward to
liberty after a long repressive Dark Age in Europe. It also showed the
friendship between the two nations. So the initial goodwill of this
Statue of Liberty as a gift from French people to the United States was
all good.
However, as prophesied in
Chapter 9 of the Book of Revelation, the French Revolution was inspired
and influenced by the fallen star from the heaven – the AntiChrist
Spirit of Lucifer. It initially inspired people with the good motto of
“Liberty, Equality and Fraternity”, then it turned people against
the church and Christianity. After people abandoned the faith in God and
Christ, the AntiChrist spirit turned the dream of “Liberty, Equality and
Fraternity” into the nightmare of the “Reign of Terror”. And after
the French Revolution and Napoleon Wars, the country was ruined and
France was eventually turned into a godless country.
At the same time, the
Freemason in the United States of America also gradually abandoned the
faith in Christ in the name of religious tolerance. Eventually, it also
fell into the hand of Lucifer in the nineteenth century when its
Sovereign Grand Commander in America announced the
faith to Lucifer to the top three levels of the Freemasons. Although these two designers from France and America
designed the Statue of Liberty and its pedestal separately, even far apart
by the Atlantic Ocean, they were under the same influence of Lucifer to
complete the prophecy of the “Woman on the Beast with Seven Heads and
Ten Horns” in the Book of Revelation.
i) The Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty is
originated from the Greek/Roman Goddess Libertas, which can be traced to the
root of the Babylonian goddess Ishtar or Inanna. One of the
sexual rites in Ishtar worshipping is for women to provide sexual
service, or temple prostitution, as part of their religious service. The
following two images are of Ishtar and the Statue of Liberty. They both
held the torch in their hands, just like Lucifer once was the “Light
Bearer” before he fell from the Heaven. Do these two images look
similar to each other?
The Image of Ishtar |
The Statue of Liberty |
Although the current Statue of
Liberty has a whole new meaning, because of this similarity and
historical connection to its origin, the Statue of Liberty became
vulnerable to the attachment and occupation of the evil spirit of
Babylon. A statue itself may not be a big threat, but what is dangerous
is the spirit that occupies it and works behind its positive image. When
it is combined with the odd shape of its pedestal, the meaning of this
statue is totally changed.
ii) The Pedestal of the Statue of Liberty

The Star of Ishtar and Its
Variation |
Instead of eight points in the
original Star of Ishtar, the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty bent the three major points on the three sides
inward to create two small points on each of these three sides. It seemed that
the
designer of the pedestal tried to hide its relationship with the Star of
Ishtar, but he did not realize that his intentional change of the design of
the pedestal actually completed the prophecy of Babylon the Great and the
Beast in the Book of Revelation. Here is how it looks like now!
 |
=> |
 |
It has SEVEN triangles
(A-G) sticking out of a square formed by the corner 1, 4, 7, and10 with a little bent inward in
the front. The
triangle A in the front is bigger than the other six triangles (B-G). If you add the
four corners of the square to the six small triangles, there are TEN small
corners (1-10) in total.
That’s Seven Heads (A-G) and
Ten Horns (1-10)! The Statue of
Ishtar, the Babylonian Goddess of Sex and Fertility, is sitting on the
modified Star of Ishtar! What a perfect match to the prophecy of the
Babylon the Great - “the woman on the beast with seven heads and ten
horns” (Revelation 17:7)!
In the past two thousand years, most people
had a hard time to imagine what kind of figure with seven heads and ten horns
should look like. Now the answer is here. The designer of the pedestal might
not have had any malicious intent while designing the pedestal for the statue,
but the evil spirit of the beast always tried to influence people behind their
mind and take advantage of their lack of awareness of the warnings in the
Bible.
When people abandoned the faith
in Christ, they could easily be deceived and led astray by the Spirit of
Lucifer, the Antichrist. That’s how this statue and its pedestal were
designed under the spiritual influence of Lucifer to create a matching design of the Statue of Ishtar and the Star of Ishtar from the same spiritual root of Babylon
and
complete the prophecy of "Babylon the Great" in the Bible's Book of
Revelation.
11) Additional Implications
from God - “Babylon”, “Queens” and the “Big Apple”
To make this prophecy more clearly to
people, God even inspired the local authority to name a small community to the
east of New York City as “Babylon”, where all the ships coming from
the south to New York City can clearly see the big name of “Babylon” on
the water tower in the city. Inside New York City, it also has a district
named Queens as “In her heart she boasts, 'I sit as queen...'”
(Revelation 18:7)
In the early twentieth century,
God inspired a writer to give New York City a nickname as the “Big Apple”.
Anyone who heard the story of Adam and Eve knows that they were driven out of
the paradise because of the “Apple”. Although in the English Bible there
is no name for the fruit they ate in the Garden of Eden, one of the main
reasons for people to believe it was apple is that the Latin word for evil is
“malum” and the Latin word for apple is also “malum”.
As apple is the fruit that
caused Adam and Eve to fall, God just used the “Big Apple” as a hint for
the origin of sin to indicate that the spirit of Babylon, the mother of the
abominations of the earth (Revelation 17:5), already came to the New York
City in the early twentieth century. Shortly after that, the misfortune
happened. The Wall Street collapsed and the stock market had the biggest crash
in history followed by the “Great Depression”. God always gave people some
signs before the major disasters happened. Unfortunately, most people just didn’t pay
attention to them until it's too late or after it happened.
With all these matching characteristics,
hints and special design of the Statue of Liberty and its pedestal, it is indisputable
that modern-day Babylon the Great prophesied in the Book of
Revelation is the Great City of New York.
